This study presents a combined experimental and numerical effort to investigate experimentally and numerically the Bragg reflection of sinusoidal waves due to trapezoidal submerged porous breakwaters. Numerical predictions of the study are verified by comparing to laboratory measurements. In the numerical model, the flow in porous structures is described by the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the volume of fluid method is employed to track the free surface displacements. Numerical solutions are agree well with laboratory measurements. The reflection coefficients of porous structures are smaller than those of non-porous structures and become stronger in proportion to the increase of number of submerged breakwaters.

A combined experimental and numerical effort is presented for investigation of reflection of irregular waves due to rectangular submerged breakwaters. In the numerical model, the Reynolds equations are solved by a finite difference method and k-$\varepsilon$ model is employed for the turbulence analysis. To track the free surface displacement, the volume of fluid method is employed. Numerical predictions of transmission and reflection coefficients are verified by comparing to laboratory measurements. Very reasonable agreements are observed. The reflection coefficients become stronger in proportion to numbers of submerged breakwaters.

Analysis of reflection of random waves propagating over rectangular submerged non-porous breakwaters was performed by using the eigenfunction expansion method. In this study, random waves were generated by superposition of several monochromatioc waves. Reflection coefficients were calculated by summing each numerical results of regular waves. Predicted results from the eigenfunction expansion method were in a good agreement with the results of laboratory measurements. Reflection coefficients of random waves were also resonated at the Bragg reflection condition.

In this paper the numerical method for the study of wave reflection from and transmission through submerged permeable breakwaters using the boundary element method is developed. The numerical analysis technique is based on the wave pressure function instead of velocity potential because it is difficult to define the velocity potential in the each region arising the energy dissipation. Also, the non-linear energy dissipation within the submerged porous structure is simulated by introducing the linear dissipation coefficient and the tag mass coefficient equivalent to the non-linear energy dissipation. For the validity of this analysis technique, the numerical results obtained by the present boundary element method are compared with those obtained by the other computation method. Good agreements are obtained and so the validity of the present numerical analysis technique is proved.

Among various numerical methods of wave transformations including wave breaking by structure, models using VOF(Volume Of Fluid) method to trace free surface are getting into the spotlight recently. In order to analyze wave transformations and velocity of the wave fields due to the permeable submerged breakwater(PSB), This study applied VOF method to the two-dimensional wave channel installed line-source to generate waves and added dissipation zone to offer a non-reflective boundary. Hydraulic experiments was performed to obtain the application of two-dimensional numerical wave channel. The results of numerical experiments using the two-dimensional wave channel agree well with the experimental data. It was shown that vortices are formed behind the PSB, and in case of the 2-rowed PSB they also are occurred in between PSBs, strongly non-linear waves are developed on the crown of the PSB, and the direction of velocities in porous media is determined by the shape of free surface.

본 연구에서는 사석경사제의 전면부에 불투과성 수중방파제를 설치하여, 불규칙파의 반사에 대한 수치모의와 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 수치해석 모형에는 Reynolds Averaged Navier-stokes (RANS) 방정식을 지배방정식으로 사용하였고, 난류해석을 위하여 $\kappa-\varepsilon$ 방정식을 사용하였다. 자유수면변위의 정확한 예측을 위하여 VOF 기법을 적용하였다. 수리모형실험은 한양대학교 수리실험실의 조파수로에서 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 입사파랑으로 불규칙파를 조파하였으며, Bretsch neider-Mistuyasu 스펙트럼을 목표스펙트럼으로 하여 재현하였다. 반사율의 산정에서 입사파와 반사파를 분리하기 위하여 수치모형실험에서는 3점법을 사용하였고, 수리모형실험에서는 2점법을 사용하였다. 수치모의를 통하여 예측된 반사율과 수리모형실험에서 관측한 결과는 서로 잘 일치하였다.
