Offshore oscillating water columns (OWC) represent one of the most promising forms of wave energy converters. The hydrodynamic performance of such converters heavily depends on their interactions with ocean waves; therefore, understanding these interactions is essential. In this paper, a fully nonlinear 2D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model based on RANS equations and VOF surface capturing scheme is implemented to carry out wave energy balance analyses for an offshore OWC. The numerical model is well validated against published physical measurements including; chamber differential air pressure, chamber water level oscillation and vertical velocity, overall wave energy extraction efficiency, reflected and transmitted waves, velocity and vorticity fields (PIV measurements). Following the successful validation work, an extensive campaign of numerical tests is performed to quantify the relevance of three design parameters, namely incoming wavelength, wave height and turbine damping to the device hydrodynamic performance and wave energy conversion process. All of the three investigated parameters show important effects on the wave-pneumatic energy conversion chain. In addition, the flow field around the chamber's front wall indicates areas of energy losses by stronger vortices generation than the rear wall.

기후변화가 구조물의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 여러 수심에서 가상적으로 설계된 직립방파제의 성능을 평가하였다. 성능평가에서는 기후변화영향인 해수면 상승과 파고 증가를 고려한 성능설계법이 사용되었다. 성능설계법의 파랑변형 계산과정에서 많은 시간이 요구되는 문제를 극복하기 위해 범용 SWAN 모형에 인공신경망을 결합하였다. 학습된 인공신경망에 심해유의파고와 심해주파향 그리고 조위가 입력되면 구조물 위치에서 유의파고와 주파향이 신속하게 계산된다. 전반적으로 구조물의 안정성은 기후변화영향으로 감소하였지만 수심에 따라 서로 다른 경향을 보였다. 쇄파대 밖에서는 수심이 증가할수록 해수면 상승의 영향은 감소하고 파고 증가의 영향은 증가하였다. 한편, 쇄파대 내에서는 수심이 감소할수록 파고 증가와 해수면 상승의 영향 모두 감소하였다. 하지만 파고 증가의 영향이 해수면 상승의 영향보다 컸다. 이와 같은 결과를 반영하여 직립방파제의 유지보수 및 보강 대책을 수립해야 할 것이다.

Copeland’s(1985) hyperbolic mild-slope equation including diffraction refraction and reflection in the wave field is used as a governing equation in this study. The result of Maruyama & Kajima(1985) is used to calculate wave direction and that of Watanabe & Maruyama(1986) is used as a energy dissipation formula. Numerical solutions are obtained by the Leap-Frog scheme and compared with Watanabe & Maruyama’s (1984) hydraulic experimental results and numerical simulation results for the detached breakwater. This wave model is applied to a detached breakwater and compared with Watanabe and Maruyama’s (1984) hydraulic model results to check the characteristics of reflected wave field around a detached breakwater. The distribution of wave height and we phase in front of a detached breakwater is more accurate than the Watanabe and Maruyama’s numerical results. The results from our wave model show good agreements with the others and also show nonlinear effects around the detached breakwater. This model is applied to the Gamcheon harbor of pusan. the field observations were carried out at Pusan harbor wave station in 1986-1995 and the results were accepted as a design wave condition in this study. The wave height and wave period was measured by Dong-A university at one station in the Gamcheon harbor in 1996-1997 and used as a calibration criterion. The measured data were used as input data for the numerical simulation and also compared with simulated results. The numerical simulation shows a fairly good results which considering the effect of topographic characteristics and effect of narrow entrance due to two separated breakwaters in Gamcheon harbor. The wave distribution characteristics inside Gamcheon harbor is quite different with the offshore wave direction and wave period.

Spatial variations of a seismic wave are mainly wave passage and wave scattering. Wave passage effect is produced by changed characteristics of exciting seismic input motions applied to the bedrock. Modified input motions travel horizontally with time differences determined by apparent shear wave velocity of the bedrock. In this study, wave passage effect on the seismic response of a structure-soil system is investigated by modifying the finite element software of P3DASS (Pseudo 3-Dimensional Dynamic Analysis of a Structure-soil System) to apply inconsistent (time-delayed) seismic input motions along the soft soil-bedrock interface. Study results show that foundation size affected on the seismic response of a structure excited with inconsistent input motions in the lower period range below 0.5 seconds, and seismic responses of a structure were decreased considerably in the lower period range around 0.05 seconds due to the wave passage. Also, shear wave velocity of the bedrock affected on the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range below 0.3 seconds, with significant reduction of the seismic response for smaller shear wave velocity of the bedrock reaching approximately 20% for an apparent shear wave velocity of 1000m/s at a period of 0.05 seconds. Finally, it is concluded that wave passage effect reduces the seismic response of a structure in the lower period range when the bedrock under a soft soil is soft or the bedrock is located very deeply, and wave passage is beneficial for the seismic design of a short period structure like a nuclear container building or a stiff low-rise building.

본 연구에서는 파랑의 에너지 및 에너지 수송과 관련된 변량들의 계산과 그 비선형효과의 분석을 능률적으로 수행하기 위하여 설계파에 대한 비선형 흐름함수파이론을 도입한다. 흐름함수파이론은 비대칭성 파형을 갖는 실측파와 이론적인 대칭 파형을 갖는 설계파. 두 경우 모두에 사용할 수 있는 이론으로 Dean에 의해 처음 창안되었다. 후에 Dalrymple이 특정한 파고의 조건과 0의 평균해수면 변위의 조건을 만족하도록 하는 두 라그란지 승수를 사용하여 기존의 수치계산 과정을 개량함으로써 수치계산이 좀 더 효율적으로 수행되도록 하였다. 그리고 흐름함수의 계수 (Stream function coeffiicient)들은 본 연구를 위해 개량한 Marquardt algorithm을 사용하여 수치계산된다. 본 연구의 결과로서 평균 위치에너지와 평균 운동에너지, 평균 전에너지의 비선형효과는$L^*/L_O$의 감소와 $H/H_B$의 증가에 한결같이 증가하여 흐름함수이론과 비교하여 선형파이론이 항상 과대평가된다. 군속도와 파장의 비선형효과는 $H/H_B$의 증가에 한결같이 증가하되 선형파이론이 항상 과소평가된다. 마지막으로 평균 전에너지 Flux의 비선형효과는 천해파(shallow-water waves)에 대해서는 선형파이론이 과대평가되고 심해파 (deep-water waves)에 대해서는 선행파이론이 과소평가되는 양면성을 지닌다.

Wave propagation was studied for an unidirectionally reinforced composite materials. The velocities, the particle directions and the amplitudes of reflected and transmitted waves were obtained. This analysis involves an immersion C-scan procedure. Snell's law was modified to get the velocities of waves. This analysis could be applied to the detection of flaws in a transversely isotropic composite motor case.

Recent developments such as concern over global warming, depletion of fossil fuels and increase in energy demands by the increasing world population has eventually lead to mass production of electricity using renewable sources. Ocean contains energy in form of thermal energy and mechanical energy: thermal energy from solar radiation and mechanical energy from the waves and tides. The current paper looks at generating power using waves. The primary objective of the present study is to maximize the primary energy conversion (first stage conversion) of the base model by making some design changes. The model entire consisted of a numerical wave tank and the turbine section. The turbine section had three components; front guide nozzle, augmentation channel and the rear chamber. The augmentation channel further consisted of a front nozzle, rear nozzle and an internal fluid region representing the turbine housing. Different front guide nozzle configuration and rear chamber design were studied. As mentioned, a numerical wave tank was utilized to generate waves of desired properties and later the turbine section was integrated. The waves in the numerical wave tank were generated by a piston type wave maker which was located at the wave tank inlet. The inlet which was modeled as a plate wall which moved sinusoidally with the general function, $x=asin{\omega}t$. In addition to primary energy conversion, observation of flow characteristics, pressure and the velocity in the augmentation channel, rear chamber as well as the front guide nozzle are presented in the paper. The analysis was performed using the commercial code of the ANSYS-CFX. The base model recorded water power of 29.9 W. After making the changes, the best model obtained water power of 37.1 W which represents an increase of approximately 24% in water power and primary energy conversion.
