Experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to study the performance of a surface-fixed horizontal porous wave barrier in regular waves. The characteristics of the reflection and transmission coefficients, energy dissipation, and vertical wave force were examined versus different porosities of the barrier. Numerical simulations based on 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations with standard low-Re k-ε turbulent closure and volume of fluid approach were accomplished and compared with the experimental results conducted in a 2D wave tank. Experimental measurements and numerical simulations were shown to be in satisfactory agreement. The qualitative wave behavior propagating over a horizontal porous barrier such as wave run-up, wave breaking, air entrapment, jet flow, and vortex generation was reproduced by CFD computation. Through the discrete harmonic decomposition of the vertical wave force on a wave barrier, the nonlinear characteristics were revealed quantitatively. It was concluded that the surface-fixed horizontal barrier is more effective in dissipating wave energy in the short wave period region and more energy conversion was observed from the first harmonic to higher harmonics with the increase of porosity. The present numerical approach will provide a predictive tool for an accurate and efficient design of the surface-fixed horizontal porous wave barrier.

The main objective of the present research was investigating the effects of a floating wave barrier installed in front of an offshore jacket structure on the wave height, base shear, and overturning moment. A jacket model with the height of 4.55 m was fabricated and tested in the 402 m-long wave flume of NIMALA marine laboratory. The jacket was tested at the water depth of 4 m subjected to the random waves with a JONSWAP energy spectrum. Three input wave heights were chosen for the tests: 20 cm, 23 cm, and 28 cm. Two different cross sections with the same area were selected for the wave barrier: square and rhombus. Results showed that the average decrease in the jacket's base shear due to the presence of a floating wave barrier with square and rhombus cross section was 24.67% and 34.29%, respectively. The use of wave barriers with square and rhombus cross sections also resulted in 19.78% and 33.11% decrease in the jacket's overturning moment, respectively. Hence, it can be concluded that a floating wave barrier can significantly reduce the base shear and overturning moment in an offshore jacket structure; and a rhombus cross section is more effective than an equivalent square section.

In this paper numerical and experimental studies are conducted to examine the wave screening effectiveness of wave barriers. The numerical study is based on a finite element model of a 'sandbox' with Lysmer-Kuhlemeyer-type absorbing boundaries. Using the model, the screening effectiveness of wave barriers is studied for different barrier dimensions and distances between the source/receiver and the wave barrier. The results of the numerical modeling are compared with those of the ultrasonic experiment which is performed on an acrylic block with a drilled rectangular cut. Finally, the problem of ground transmitting vibration from a traveling train is numerically treated as a real-world application and the results are discussed in some detail.

We investigate the conditions of the complete tunneling of light across a composite barrier made of multiple layers involving metamaterials. It is shown that complete tunneling phenomena are related to the resonance transmission properties of local modes formed in barrier layers and that there are two distinctive kinds of local barrier modes involved in actual complete tunneling: the degenerate inner-barrier mode and the full barrier mode. Complete tunneling occurs via two successive mode couplings: from the incident plane wave to the plane wave in the transmission layer through the direct mediation of these two kinds of local barrier modes.

지반에서 겨울에 발생할 수 있는 단단한 상부층은 방진벽의 진동차단성능을 변화시킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 상부에 단단한 층이 존재하는 층진 지반(layered soil)에서 표면파의 진동전파와 강성 방진벽의 진동차단 성능에 관한 것이다. 연구는 이차원문제로, 경계요소법을 이용한 수치해석적 방법에 의해 수행되었으며, 진동원은 수직방향으로 조화가 진을 받는 줄기초이다. 검토된 지반은 세 가지로, 균질의 반무한 지반과, 단단한 상부층의 두께를 달리하는 두 개의 지반이다. 단단한 상부층을 갖는 지반에서는 굴절의 지반과 비교하여 아주 커다란 진폭의 감소가 나타났으며, 진동전파 속도의 경우, 물성치에 의해 계산으로 구해지는 진동전파 속도만큼의 크기가 나타나지 않았다. 더욱이 동결지반에서의 진폭은 비동결지반에서 보다 거리에 따라 아주 작은 값이 구해졌다.

The wave interactions with fully submerged and floating dual buoy/vertical porous membrane breakwaters has been investigated in experimentally to validate the developed theory and numerical method in the previous study, in which multi-domain hydro-elastic formulation was carried out in the context of linear wave-body interaction theory and Darcy's law. It is found that the experimental results agrees well with the numerical prediction. Transmission and reflection can be quite reduced simultaneously especially in the region of long waves. The properly tuned system to incoming waves can effectively dissipate wave energy and also offset each other between incident and scattered waves using its hydro-elasticity and geometry.

Subject of the paper is a particular configuration of overhead line, in which noise barrier structure is used as supports of the catenary instead of standard poles. This configuration is foreseen in case the noise barrier position is in conflict with the poles location. If the catenary is supported by the noise barrier, the motion that the latter undergo due to wave pressure associated to train transit is transmitted to the overhead line, so that potentially it influences the interaction between the catenary itself and the pantograph of the passing train. The paper focuses on the influence of such peculiar configuration on the quality of the current collection of high speed pantograph, for single and double current collection. The study has been carried out first with an experimental investigation on the pressure distribution on noise barrier, both in wind tunnel and with in-field tests. Subsequently a numerical analysis of the dynamics of the barrier subjected to the wave pressure due to train transit has been carried out, and the output of such analysis has been used as input data for the simulation of the pantograph-dynamic interaction at different speeds and with front or rear pantograph in operation. Consideration of structural modifications was then highlighted, in order to reduce the influence on the contact loss percentage.

고조방파제는 폭풍해일이나, 대조시 창조류로부터 내부 해역을 보호하기 위하여 설계된 특수한 형태의 수문 구조물로, 홍수 방지 벽, 방조제 및 다른 구조물로 구성된다. 평상시 고조방파제는 해수 소통을 허용하지만, 폭풍해일이 예상되면 폐쇄된다. 폐쇄시키는 다양한 방법 중 본 연구에서는 이태리 모세프로젝트에 적용한 것과 같은 부유 플랩형 고조방파제를 마산만에 적용할 경우, 폭풍해일 및 파랑이 작용할 때의 고조방파제 거동특성을 3차원 유동해석프로그램인 FLOW-3D를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 수치해석결과, 고조차 2 m인 상태에서 파고 3 m 조건에서도 고조방파제로서의 기능을 발휘할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 원전어항에서 채용하고 있는 강제 부방파제에 비해 소요재료량의 변화가 크지 않은 범위에서 전후연직판의 위치와 형식의 변화 및 수평판의 부착 유무에 따른 여러 형식의 부방파제에 의한 투과율과 반사율을 Green 함수법으로부터 계산한 결과에 기초하여, 원전어항의 강제 부방파제보다 단주기파 및 장주기파를 보다 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 새로운 형식의 부방파제를 검토하였다. 이로부터 연직커튼판 하부에 수평판을 부착한 형태의 부방파제가 파랑제어기능이 우수한 것으로 판명되었고, 이는 원전어항 부방파제보다 파랑제어기능이 탁월하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본체에 부착된 전후연직판 및 수평판의 크기와 간격을 조절함으로써 적합한 투과파를 얻을 수 있다는 것도 알 수 있었다.

The wave interaction problem with a vertical slotted breakwater, consisting of impermeable upper, lower parts and a permeable middle part, has been studied theoretically. An analytical model was presented for the estimation of reflection and transmission of monochromatic waves by a slotted breakwater. The far-field solution of the wave scattering involving nonlinear porous boundary condition was obtained using eigenfunction expansion method. The empirical formula for drag coefficient in the near-field, representing energy dissipation across the slotted barrier, was determined by curve fitting of the numerical solutions of 2-D channel flow using CFD code StarCCM+. The theoretical model was validated with laboratory experiments for various configurations of a slotted barrier. It showed that the developed analytical model can correctly predict the energy dissipation caused by turbulent eddies due to sudden contraction and expansion of a slotted barrier. The present paper provides a synergetic approach of the analytical and numerical modelling with minimum CPU time, for better estimation of the hydrodynamic performance of slotted breakwater.
