Abstract

We carry out the numerical simulation to test a hypothesis that freak waves can be triggered by the infragravity waves of bound mode underlying the ever-present swells and its constructive interaction with swells using the Tool Box called the ihFoam that has its roots on the OpenFoam, and Bi-spectrum. Numerical simulation is implemented for the SamChcuk LNG Plant where freak waves have been reported in front of the private wharf during its construction phase due to the uncompleted northern breakwater. Infra-gravity waves of bound mode is generated using the difference wave-wave interaction between the local wind waves of 7 s and a swell of 11.4 s based on the Bi-spectrum. For the sake of comparison, numerical simulation for infra-gravity waves of free mode is also carried out. Numerical results show that stem waves along the private wharf for SamChcuk LNG Plant can be triggered by the infra-gravity waves of bound mode coming from the north, which eventually leads to freak waves when encounters the reflected waves from the south jetty.

Bound mode의 외중력파와 이로 인한 보강간섭이 이상파 생성 기작이라는 가설을 확인하기 위해 OpenFoam 기반 Tool box인 ihFoam과 Bi-spectrum에 기초한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 수치모의는 건설 과정에서 이상파가 관측된 삼척 LNG 생산기지 전용부두를 대상으로 수행되었으며, Bound mode의 외중력파는 Bi-spectrum에 기반하여 출현빈도가 높은 주기가 7초인 국지 풍성파와 11.4초인 너울의 difference interaction으로 생성하였다. 또한 비교를 위해 비선형 Cnoidal wave, linear wave를 대상으로 한 수치모의도 병행하여 수행하였다. 모의결과 N 계열 bound mode의 외중력파에 의해 삼척 LNG 생산기지 전용부두를 따라 진행되는 연파가 생성되며, 이상파는 전술한 연파와 남측 도류제로부터의 반사파가 더해져 출현하는 것으로 모의되었다.
