Numerical simulations were implemented to look into the modified seabed topography due to the presence of breakwaters of varying reflection characteristics. The numerical model was composed of OlaFlow, an OpenFoam-based tool box, and a physics-based morphology model [Seoul Foam]. In doing so, the interaction between the seabed, which undergoes deformation due to siltation and scouring, and the incoming waves was described using Dynamic Mesh. The rubble-mound, vertical, and curved slit caisson breakwaters with varying reflection characteristics resulted in standing waves that differ from each other, shown to have a significant influence on the seabed topography. These results are in line with Nielsen's study (1993) that sands saltated under the surface nodes of standing waves, where the near-bed velocities are most substantial, convected toward the surface antinodes by boundary-layer drift. Moreover, the crest of sand waves was formed under the surface antinodes of standing waves, and the trough of sand waves was formed under the surface antinodes. In addition, sand wave amplitude reaches its peak in the curved slit caisson with a significant reflection coefficient, and the saltation of many grains of sand would cause this phenomenon due to the increased near-bed velocity under the nodes when the reflection coefficient is getting large.

All of the design criterion are not only formulated by an internal study, concerning the design of maritime structures, but also by the guarantee that internal design technology is essential, at least according to theoretical and experimental studies. Furthermore, the basic data, which is necessary for the development of a more stable design of breakwater structures, should be ensured, according to current research and analysis of damage created by water waves. According to the necessity to solve the problems that occur in the design and construction of ocean structures, until now, it is recognized that the hydraulic experiments are important. This paper provides the design of structures to decrease the energy created by waves. Suggestions to make contributions to the development of ocean/fisheries technology are also discussed. It is better to use S-type coastal structures/breakwaters than to use uniform type breakwaters, concerning stability, reflection, and overtopping.

In this study, the run-up of water waves on slopes of s-berm breakwaters was investigated by performing a series of hydraulic experiments. The run-up height was analyzed in detail by using the effects of wave steepness and surf similarity parameter. In general, the run-up heights were decreased as the height and the width of berm were increased. However, the variation of run-up height was small for change of wave steepness and surf similarity parameter.

An efficient model for the dynamic analysis of caisson breakwaters under impulsive wave loadings is presented. The caisson structure is. regarded as a rigid body, and the rubble mound foundation is idealized as virtual added masses, springs, and dampers using the elastic half-space theory. The frequency-dependent hydrodynamic added mass and damping coefficients are considered by using the time memory functions and added mass at infinite frequency. To simulate the permanent sliding phenomenon of the caisson, the horizontal spring is modeled as a nonlinear spring with plastic behaviors. Comparisons with experimental results show that the present model gives fairly good results. Sensitivity analysis is performed for the relevant parameters affecting the dynamic responses of a caisson breakwater. Numerical experiments are also carried out to investigate the applicability to the prediction of permanent sliding distance and critical weight of the caisson.

최근에 태풍 매미 등 이상 기후로 인한 기상이변이 빈번히 발생함에 따라 그에 대한 대처방안을 모색하기 위해 2005년 해양수산부에서는 지역 및 해역별 특성을 분석하여 종전 설계기준을 강화하였다. 하지만, 기존에 설계된 항만 구조물의 마루높이 및 피복재 중량 등이 새로 개정된 설계기준에 미치지 못하는 등 안전성에 대한 문제가 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 기존 방파제를 보강하는 여러 방식이 제안되고 있다. 그 중 부유식방파제는 해수의 소통을 방해하지 않는 친환경적인 구조물로써, 연약지반에 시공이 가능하고 시공 시 오탁이 적게 발생하여 시공이 편하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한 구조물의 해체 및 보강시 건설폐기물을 발생시키지 않는 친환경적인 구조물이기 때문에 새로운 방식의 대체 외곽항만구조물로 관심을 받고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 사석경사제 전면에 부유식구조물을 설치하여 방파제 보강하는 방안을 제시하고자, 부유식구조물을 통과한 파랑이 사석경사제와 만나 발생하는 처오름높이를 분석하였다. 본 수치모의에서는 유체의 점성 및 난류특성을 포함하고 있는 Navier-Stokes 방정식을 그대로 해석하는 2차원 수치파동수조(CADMAS-SURF)를 이용하여 수치 모의을 수행하였다. 부유식구조물은 불투수성구조물로 수면에 고정시키는 방식을 적용하여 사석경사제의 전면에 설치하였으며, 고정된 부유식구조물의 흘수심을 변화시켜 사석경사제에서의 처오름높이를 산정하였다.

As the 2-D hydraulic experimental results for the submerged rubble-mound structure, we have concerned with their stability/function characteristics of structures by the effects of wave force, scour/deposition at the toe and wave transmission ratio at the lee-side sea. And as to investigate the variation characteristics of wave transmission ratio which depended to a geometrical structure of the submerged breakwater profiles, the critical conditions for the depth of submergence and crest width obviously presented. In summary, there results lead us to the conclusions that the wave control capabilities of submerged breakwaters by the variation of the submergence depth is high about 4 time degrees at the efficiency than the that of crest width. The destruction of covering block at the crest generated at the region which located between maximum damage curve, it maximum damage/failure station from the toe of the structure were 0.2L. As the wave transmission coefficient and the slope of the structure increase, the damage/failure ratio and the maximum scour depth at the toe was extended, respectively. When maximum scour depth happened. The destruction of covering block which located at the toe generated at the front slope destruction. Finally, it was found from the results that the optimization of structure may be obtained by the efficiently decision of the submergence depth and crest width in the permissible range of wave transmission ratio.

The stability of a typical rubble mound breakwater defenced by a submerged structure is investigated using hydraulic experiments. Incident irregular waves are obtained from the Bretschneider-Mistuyasu spectrum. Experiments are carried out for different spacings between two breakwaters (X/d=2-3) and for different relative widths (B/h=0.7-3.0) of the submerged structure. It is observed that a submerged structure of (B/h) of 0.7-3.0 constructed at a seaward distance (X/d) of 2-3 breaks all the incident waves and dissipates energy and breakwater.

A new approach to reliability analysis of rubble mound breakwater using neural network is proposed. At first, a neural network model which can estimate the stability number of any breakwaters for some design conditions is trained. Then, the neural network model is integrated with Monte Carlo simulation technique in order to calculate probability of failure for the breakwater. The proposed technique is compared with conventional approach using empirical formula.

경사식 방파제에 대하여 수리모형실험을 통하여 방파제의 전사면과 저면에 작용하는 파압을 직접 측정하여 파압의 공간적 분포를 파악하여 보았다. 실험의 길과는 기존의 경사식 방파제에 대하여 파압에 대한 연구는 거의 없기 때문에 Goda(1989, 2002)가 제시한 전사면에 대한 이론식과 비교하여 보았다. 실험은 특정적으로 제시된 방파제 단면에 대한 실험이 아니고, 가상적인 단면을 선정한 후 파랑 및 수심 등의 제조건을 감안하여 파형경사를 산정하고, 이애 맞는 파고와 주기를 산정한 후 제반 해안수리학적 특성중 반사율과 처오름 높이, 사면 및 저면에 작용하는 파압을 직접 측정하여 보았다. 실험결과 전사면에서의 파압 분포는 Goda의 이론식과 경향은 비슷하나 크기는 차이가 나이에 대한 보정은 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 저면에서의 파압도 측정이 되었지만 이것이 지반지지력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지는 좀 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

Wave overtopping is a significant natural hazard that occurs in coastal areas, primarily driven by high waves, particularly those generated during typhoons, which can cause coastal flooding. The development of residential and commercial areas along the coast, driven by increasing social and economic demands, has led to a concentration of people and assets in these vulnerable areas. This, coupled with long-term sea level rise and an increase in typhoon frequency, has heightened the risk of coastal hazards. Traditionally, the evaluation of wave overtopping volumes has relied on directly measuring the collected volume of water that exceeds the crest height of structures through hydraulic model experiments. These experiments are averaged over a specific measurement period. However, in this study, we propose a new method for estimating individual wave overtopping volumes. We utilize the temporal variation of wave overtopping heights to develop an observation system that can quantitatively assess wave overtopping volumes in actual coastal areas. To test our method, we conducted hydraulic model experiments on rubble mound breakwaters, which are commonly installed along the Korean coast. We introduce wave overtopping discharge coefficients, assuming that the inundation velocity from the structure's crest is the long-wave velocity. We then predict overtopping volumes based on wave overtopping heights and compare and review the results with experimental data. The findings of our study confirm the feasibility of estimating wave overtopping volumes by applying the overtopping discharge coefficients derived in this study to wave overtopping heights.
