Floating breakwaters have been recently studied to reduce the transmission ratio of wave energy. The numerical study shows how wave pressure and stress act on the rectangular floating breakwater under various regular wave conditions. In order to evaluate hydrodynamic pressure on the floating breakwater, the infinite element is applied to the linear wave diffraction and radiation problems. SAP2000, a structural analysis program, is used to evaluate stress on the floating breakwater.

Floating breakwaters were treated as solid bodies without any perforation in previous studies. In this study, however, a floating breakwater is perforated to allow the partial absorption of the energy produced by incident waves and an air chamber is placed in the upper part to control the breakwater draft. A series of laboratory experiments for a floating breakwater installed with a mooring system are carried out. In general, a mooring system can be classified by the number of mooring points, the shape of the mooring lines, and the degree of line tension. In this study, a four-point mooring is employed since it is relatively easier to analyze the measured results. Furthermore, both the tension-leg and the catenary mooring systems have been adopted to compare the performance of the system. In laboratory experiments, the hydraulic characteristics of a floating breakwater were obtained and analyzed in detail. Also, a hydraulic model test was carried out on variable changes by changing the mooring angle and thickness of perforated wall. A hydraulic model was designed to produce wave energy by generating a vortex with the existing reflection method. Analysis on wave changes was conducted and the flow field around the floating breakwater and draft area, which have elastic behavior, was collected using the PIV system. From the test results the strong vortex was identified in the draft area of the perforated both-sides-type floating breakwater. Also, the wave control performance of the floating breakwater was improved due to the vortex produced as the tension in the mooring line decreased.

본 논문에서는 부유식 방파제와 잠제의 단점을 보완하고 장점을 활용하기 위하여 부유식방파제와 잠제를 혼합한 혼합형 방파제에 의한 파랑 차단 성능을 2차원 유한요소법에 의해 검토하고 있다. 혼합형 방파제의 경우 부유식 방파제 또는 잠제를 단독으로 사용하였을 때 보다 우수한 파랑 차단 성능을 보였고, 단파 및 비교적 장파에서도 우수한 파랑 차단 성능을 보여 파랑의 일부 주기에 국한되지 않고 넓은 주기 영역에서의 파랑 차단 성능이 우수함이 나타났다.

Renewable energy such as wave energy has gained popularity as a means of reducing greenhouse gases. However, the high cost and lack of available sea space in some countries have hindered the deployment of wave energy converters (WEC) as alternative means of sustainable energy production. By combining WECs with infrastructures such as floating breakwaters or piers, the idea of electricity generated from WECs will be more appealing. This paper considers the integration of vertical raft-type WEC (commonly known as the vertical flap WEC) with floating breakwater as means to generate electricity and attenuate wave force in the tropical sea. An array of 25 WECs attached to a floating breakwater is considered where their performance and effect on the wave climate are presented. The effects of varying dimensions of the WEC and mooring system of the floating breakwater have on the energy generation are investigated. The integrated WECs and floating breakwater is subjected to both the regular and irregular waves in the tropical sea to assess the performance of the system. The result shows that the integrated vertical flap-floating breakwater system can generate a substantial amount of wave energy and at the same time attenuate the wave force effectively for the tropical sea when optimal dimensions of the WECs are used.

In this paper, trapezoid sections and prominence sections were examined to improve the performance of floating breakwater in long waves. The linear potential theory is used and the boundary element method with a matching boundary is employed for numerical computation. The effects of the side slope of the trapezoid section and the geometry ratio of the prominence section on the floating breakwater were examined. It was found that trapezoid sections show lower transmission coefficients than the rectangular sections in the long wave range. In prominence sections the size of the sides are more important than the size of the top. Proper choices of the pontoon type geometry may move the local minimum point of the wave transmission coefficient toward the longer wave ranges and improve the performance of the floating breakwater in the long wave range for a given wave period.

In general, the salient features if the floating breakwater have excellent regulation of sea-water keeping the marine a1ways clean, up and dorm free movement with the incoming and outgoing tides, capable of being installed without considering the geological condition of sea-bed at any water depth, This study discusses the three dimensional wave transformation of the floating breakwater moored by catenary. Numerical method is based at the Green function method and eigenfunction expansion method. The validity of the present is confirmed by comparing it with the result of Ijima et a1.(1975) fer tensile maxed floating breakwater. According to the numerical results, drift and width of the floating breakwater affect at the wave transformation greatly, and incident wave of long period is well transmitted to the rear of the floating breakwater.

The purpose of this study is the investigation of the wave interaction with the rectangular floating breakwater. The flow profile obtained by PIV technique is represented to understand the vortical flow due to the wave interaction with a rectangular floating breakwater in the roll motion and the fixed condition. Also, the transmission coefficients are compared in both conditions over the extensive wave periods, which represent the performance of breakwater to attenuate the incoming waves. These results would be applied to design the floating breakwater having the mooring system to improve its performance for a certain wave period.

해수교환이 우수하고, 조차에 따라 상·하로 자유롭게 운동하며, 연약지반과 대수심역에도 설치될 수 있다는 것을 일반적인 부방파제의 주요한 특징으로 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 말뚝계류된 부방파제에 의한 3차원파랑제어와 동적인 거동을 경계적분법과 고유함수전개법을 병용하는 수치해석법으로부터 논의한다. 여기서, 말뚝계류시스템은 연직운동만이 허용되고 다른 운동성분들은 모두 구속되며, 체인계류시스템보다도 파랑에너지의 흡수가 많은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝계류에 있어서 말뚝과 본체인 폰툰과의 사이에 작용하는 마찰력과 같은 저항력은 고려되지 않는다. 수치해석결과에 따르면 부방파제의 홀수와 폭의 변화는 파랑제어에 큰 영향을 미치고, 입사파의 주기가 길면 부방파제를 통한 전달파가 크다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고, 부방파제의 연직운동은 단주기파에서 크게 나타난다.

계류된 사각형 부유식 방파제의 파랑제어성능에 대한 해석적인 연구를 수행하였다. 고유함수 전개법을 사용하여 사자형 부유식 방파제의 운동특성과 투과율을 살펴보았다. 계류삭의 강성계수는 선형 탄성스프링으로 가정하였다. 고유함수전개법을 사용한 해석결과는 유한요소법을 사용한 수피계산결과와 전 주파수에 걸쳐 잘 일치함을 보여주었다. 사각형 부유식 방파제의 단면형상과 계류삭의 특성 능과 간은 중요한 선계변수들과 입사파의 파장을 바꿔가면서 파랑 제어성능을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 적절히 설계된 부유식 방파제는 효과적인 파랑제어구조물로 활용이 가능하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 원전부방파제 및 통영부방파제의 단면을 기본형으로 하여 그들의 소요재료량에 비해 변화가 작은 범위내에서 연직커튼판의 모양과 위치의 변화 및 수평판의 부착 유무에 따른 여러 가지 형식의 부방파제를 검토하여 원전부방파제보다 장주기측에서 파랑제어성능이 우수한 신형식부방파제를 고안 및 제안하였다. 그리고, 본 연구의 신형식부방파제를 마산시 원전항에 원전부방파제의 대신에 적용한 경우 보다 장주기파랑을 효과적으로 제어하여 항내전달파고를 저감시키고, 따라서 항내정온도를 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
