Verification of 3D numerical model and examination of applicability of new breakwater design

Recently damage of existing harbor structures is expected due to increase of external wave force by the climate change. For this reason, reinforcement of existing structures is proceeding in order to preemptively prevent disasters, and breakwater is mainly targeted. If the breakwater is not well designed, it will cause the severe damage of the structure. In this study, numerical simulation of breakwater simulation will be conducted by the numerical model which eliminated the problems of existing models. Furthermore, applicability of the new breakwater design will be examined through calculation by the model. The result of the research is expected to give direction of developing numerical models for simulating coastal structure.
