Abstract

As a transition region between ocean and land, coastal wetlands are significant ecosystems that maintain water quality, provide natural habitat for a variety of species, and slow down erosion. The energy of coastal waves and storm surges are reduced by vegetation cover, which also helps to maintain wetlands through increased sediment deposition. Wave attenuation by vegetation is a highly dynamic process and its quantification is important for understanding shore protection and modeling coastal hydrodynamics. In this study, laboratory experiments were used to quantify wave attenuation as a function of vegetation type as well as wave conditions. Wave attenuation characteristics were investigated under regular waves for rigid model vegetation. Laboratory hydraulic test and numerical analysis were conducted to investigate regular wave attenuation through emergent vegetation with wave steepness ak and relative water depth kh. The normalized wave attenuation was analyzed to the decay equation of Dalrymple et al.(1984) to determine the vegetation transmission coefficients, damping factor and drag coefficients. It was found that drag coefficient was better correlated to Keulegan-Carpenter number than Reynolds number and that the damping increased as wave steepness increased.

해양과 육지 사이에 있는 연안습지는 연안의 수질을 개선하고 다양한 생물의 자연적인 서식처로 이용될 뿐 아니라 연안침식을 억제하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 연안식생은 외해에서 입사하는 파에너지 또는 폭풍해일을 감소하며 해저 안정화를 통해 습지를 유지하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 식생에 의한 파랑감쇠의 특성을 위해서는 식생과 파랑의 역학적 과정의 검토가 필수적이며 이를 통해 연안과정이나 연안의 동수역학적 특성을 이해할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 파랑조건 이외에 식생형태에 따른 파랑감쇠 특성을 정량화하기 위해 수리실험을 통해 검토하였으며, 식생모형은 강성식생을 대상으로 규칙파가 작용하는 경우에 대해 파악하였다. 파형경사 ak와 상대수심 kh에 따른 수면위로 돌출된 식생에 대한 파랑감쇠를 검토하기 위하여 수리실험과 수치해석을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 대한 파고감쇠는 Dalrymple et al.(1984)의 파고감쇠식을 통해 식생에 의한 파고전달율, 감쇠율 및 항력계수를 해석하였다. 실험결과 식생에 작용하는 항력계수는 Reynolds수 보다는 Keulegan-Carpenter 수와 상관성이 있고, 파형경사가 증가할수록 파고감쇠율이 증가하고 있음을 확인하였다.
