As a regenerated turbulent wind field process, wind tunnel test has proven to be a promising approach for investigating the transmission tower-line system (TTLS) performance in view of experimental scaled models design, simulation techniques of wind field, and wind induced responses subjected to typhoon. However, the challenges still remain in using various wind tunnels to regenerate turbulent wind field with considerable progress having been made in recent years. This review paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of the wind tunnel based on active or passive controlled simulation techniques. Specific attention and critical assessment have been given to: (a) the design of experimental scaled models, (b) the simulation techniques of wind field, and (c) the responses of TTLS subjected to typhoon in wind tunnel. This review concludes with the research challenges and recommendations for future research direction.

The accurate evaluation of wind characteristics and wind-induced structural responses during a typhoon is of significant importance for bridge design and safety assessment. This paper presents an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm-based angular-linear approach for probabilistic modeling of field-measured wind characteristics. The proposed method has been applied to model the wind speed and direction data during typhoons recorded by the structural health monitoring (SHM) system instrumented on the arch Jiubao Bridge located in Hangzhou, China. In the summer of 2015, three typhoons, i.e., Typhoon Chan-hom, Typhoon Soudelor and Typhoon Goni, made landfall in the east of China and then struck the Jiubao Bridge. By analyzing the wind monitoring data such as the wind speed and direction measured by three anemometers during typhoons, the wind characteristics during typhoons are derived, including the average wind speed and direction, turbulence intensity, gust factor, turbulence integral scale, and power spectral density (PSD). An EM algorithm-based angular-linear modeling approach is proposed for modeling the joint distribution of the wind speed and direction. For the marginal distribution of the wind speed, the finite mixture of two-parameter Weibull distribution is employed, and the finite mixture of von Mises distribution is used to represent the wind direction. The parameters of each distribution model are estimated by use of the EM algorithm, and the optimal model is determined by the values of $R^2$ statistic and the Akaike's information criterion (AIC). The results indicate that the stochastic properties of the wind field around the bridge site during typhoons are effectively characterized by the proposed EM algorithm-based angular-linear modeling approach. The formulated joint distribution of the wind speed and direction can serve as a solid foundation for the purpose of accurately evaluating the typhoon-induced fatigue damage of long-span bridges.

A shallow channel between Jeju and Udo Islands, which is located in the northeastern Jeju Island, is influenced by storm- or typhoon-induced currents and surface waves as well as strong tidal currents. This study examines the typhoon-induced current and wave patterns in the channel, using Acoustic Doppler Current Meter (ADCP) measurements and an ocean-wave coupled modeling experiment. Three typhoons were chosen - Chaba (2016), Soulik (2018), and Lingling (2019) - to investigate the responses of currents and waves in their pathways. During the pre-typhoon periods, dominant northward flow and wave propagation were observed in the channel due to the southeasterly winds before the three typhoons. After the passage of Chaba, which passed over the eastern side of Jeju Island, the northward flow and wave propagation were totally reversed to the opposite direction, which was attributed to the strong northerly winds on the left side of the typhoon. In contrast, in the cases of Soulik and Lingling, which passed over the western side of Jeju Island, strong southerly winds on the right side of the typhoons continuously intensified the northward current and wave propagation in the channel. The model-simulated current and wave fields reasonably coincided with observational data, showing southward/northward flow and wave propagation in response to the right/left side of the typhoon pathways. Typhoon-induced downwind flows, and surface waves could enhance up to 2m/s and 3m due to the strong winds that lasted for more than 12 hours. This suggests that the flow and wave patterns in the Udo channel are highly sensitive to the pathway of typhoons and accompanying winds; thus, this may be a crucial factor with regard to the movement of seabed sediments and subsequent coastal erosion.

The impact of climate change on typhoons is a major concern in East Asia, especially due to the destructive effects of heavy rainfall on society and the economy, as many megacities are located along coastal regions. Although observations suggest significant changes in typhoon heavy rainfall, the extent to which anthropogenic forcing contributes to these changes has yet to be determined. In this study, we demonstrate that anthropogenic global warming has a substantial impact on the observed changes in typhoon heavy rainfall in the western North Pacific region. Observation data indicates that, in general, typhoon heavy rainfall has increased (decreased) in coastal East Asia (tropical western North Pacific) during the latter half of the 20th century and beyond. This spatial distribution is similar to the "anthropogenic fingerprint" observed from a set of large ensemble climate simulations, which represents the difference between Earth systems with and without human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. This provides evidence to support the claim that the significant increase in the frequency of typhoon heavy rainfall along coastal East Asia cannot be solely explained by natural variability. In addition, our results indicate that the signal of the "anthropogenic fingerprint" has been increasing rapidly since the mid-1970s and departed from natural variability in the early 2000s, indicating that the regional summer climate has already crossed the tipping point.

This paper employs the third-generation simulating waves nearshore (SWAN) ocean wave model to estimate and analyze storm waves induced by Typhoon Bolaven, focusing on its impact along the west coast and Jeju Island of Korea. Utilizing reanalyzed meteorological data from the Japan Meteorological Agency meso scale model (JMA-MSM), the study simulated storm waves from Typhoon Bolaven, which maintained its intensity up to high latitudes as it approached the Korean Peninsula in 2012. Validation of the SWAN model against observed wave data demonstrated a strong correlation, particularly in regions where wind speeds exceeded 20 m/s and wave heights surpassed 5 m. Results indicate significant storm wave heights across Jeju Island and Korea's west and southwest seas, with coastal grid points near islands recording storm wave heights exceeding 90% of the 50-year return period design wave heights. Notably, specific grid points near islands in the northern West Sea and southwest Jeju Island estimated storm wave heights at 90.22% and 91.48% of the design values, respectively. The paper highlights the increased uncertainty and vulnerability in coastal disaster predictions due to event-driven typhoons and emphasizes the need for enhanced accuracy and speed in typhoon wave predictions amid the escalating climate crisis.

본 연구에서 는 2002년 태풍 "루사(Rusa)"와 2003년 태풍 "매미(Meami)"에 의한 집중호우시 삼척 지역에 발생된 산사태를 조사하여, 대상지역의 강우와 산사태의 관계를 규명하였다. 삼척지역의 연평균강우량은 $1,200\~l,300mm$이며, 2002년 및 2003년에는 태풍 "루사" 및 "매미"로 인한 집중호우로 인하여 연평균강우량이 2,000mm이상으로 증가되었음을 알 수 있다. 최대시간강우강도와 2일간 누적 강우량이 상대적으로 큰 지역에서 산사태 발생 개소 및 붕괴 면적 이 크게 발생되고 있으므로, 산사태는 강우강도와 누적강우량에 직접적인 영향을 받고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 삼척 지역에서 발생된 산사태는 태풍에 의한 집중호우에 의한 것이므로 산사태 발생 당일 최대 시간강우강도에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 합리적인 산사태 발생 규모를 예측하기 위하여 기존의 방법을 종합적으로 적용하여 최대시간강우강도와 산사태 붕괴 면적을 모두 고려할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 방법 및 새로 제안된 방법을 적용한 결과 삼척지역의 산사태 발생규모는 대규모 산사태임을 알 수 있다.

전 세계적인 지구온난화로 인해 태풍의 강도와 규모가 커지고 있고 이로 인한 사회경제적인 피해가 갈수록 증가하고 있는 상황에서 사전에 침수예상지역 및 예상피해규모를 파악하고, 대비하는 일은 아주 중요하다. 이 논문에서는 2003년 부산과 경남지역 연안을 강타한 태풍 Maemi(매미)의 이동경로에 태풍 매미를 비롯하여 Vera(베라)(일본 이세만, 1959), Durian(두리안)(필리핀, 2006) 그리고 2005년 미국을 강타한 허리케인 Katrina(카트리나)의 특성을 갖는 슈퍼태풍의 내습을 가정하여 해운대 해수욕장 인근 도심지역의 침수피해규모를 추정하였다. 태풍별 해수면 상승고는 기존 연구자들의 수치모델링 결과를 토대로 육상표고와 해저수심의 서로 다른 기준면을 통일시킨 후 계산하였고, 항공 LiDAR 자료를 기반으로 GIS 공간분석기술을 이용하여 침수고, 침수면적 및 건물피해액을 추정하였다. 태풍의 강도와 규모가 점점 커지고 있고, 우리나라에도 근년에 Katrina(카트리나)급의 슈퍼태풍이 내습할 가능성이 클 것으로 예상되는 상황에서, 이 연구결과는 연안 도심지역에 대한 해안침수예상도와 범람피난지도를 제작하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Debris flows associated with landslides occur as one of the most devastating natural disasters that threat Taiwan. Typically, three essential factors are needed simultaneously to trigger debris flow, namely sufficient soils and rocks, favorable slope, and abundant water. Among the three essentials, the slope is natural and static without external forcing, while the landslide is generally induced by earthquake or rainfall events, and the water is produced by heavy rainfall events. In this study, we analyzed the landslides triggered by the typhoons Herb (1996) and typhoon Troaji (2001). It is concluded that the statistical data are useful to quantify the threshold of the potential landslide area. Then, the possibility to prevent the debris flow occurrence may be increased.

최근 이상기후로 집중호우 및 태풍 등과 같은 극한홍수사상의 발생으로 인한 인적 및 물적 피해가 과거와 비교하여 증가되고 있다. 이러한 피해를 예방하기 위하여 유역 수문분석이 필요하지만, 미계측 유역에서는 수문분석을 위한 수문 자료의 관측이 비교적 제한적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수문 자료가 제한적인 미계측 유역의 태풍사상에 의한 피해에 대비하기 위하여 개념적 강우-유출 모형의 지역화 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 지역화 모형의 검증을 통하여 유역을 대표하는 모형 매개변수를 산정할 수 있다고 판단하였다. 향후 하천관리 및 수방시설물 설계에 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.
