In this study, a drifting test using a experimental vessel (2,966 tons) in the northern waters of Jeju was carried out for the first time in order to obtain the fundamental data for drift. During the test, it was shown that the average leeway speed and direction by GPS position were 0.362 m/s and 155.54° respectively and the leeway rate for wind speed was 8.80%. The analysis of linear regression modes about leeway speed and direction of the experimental vessel indicated that wind or current (i.e. explanatory variable) had a greater influence upon response variable (e.g. leeway speed or direction) with the speed of the wind and current rather than their directions. On the other hand, the result of multiple regression model analysis was able to predict that the direction was negative, and it was demonstrated that predicted values of leeway speed and direction using an experimental vessel is to be more influential by current than wind while the leeway speed through variance and covariance was positive. In terms of the leeway direction of the experimental vessel, the same result of the leeway speed appeared except for a possibility of the existence of multi-collinearity. Then, it can be interpreted that the explanatory variables were less descriptive in the predicted values of the leeway direction. As a result, the prediction of leeway speed and direction can be demonstrated as following equations. However, many drift tests using actual vessels and various drifting objects will provide reasonable estimations, so that they can help search and rescue fishing gears as well.

본 논문에서 취급한 계산모델 및 계산조건하에서 얻어진 주요한 결론은 다음과 같다. (1) 다방향 불규칙파중에서 TLP에 작용하는 파강제력 및 정상표류력의 유의치를 구할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였다. (2) 한방향파중에서 파강제력 및 정상표류력이 큰 모-드에 대해서는 다방향파의 영향으로 감소하는 경향을 보이고, 한방향파중에서 작은 모-드에 대해서는 다방향파의 영향이 무시할 수 없을 정도로 나타났다. (3) 다방향파의 상호작용에 의해 실해역을 재현할 수 있으며, 다방향파의 영향으로 최대 파강제력 및 정상표류력의 크기가 감소한다는 결과에 따라 다방향파의 영향을 고려하면 보다 현실적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The steady drift forces on a barge in waves are investigated. The steady drift forces due to a near-field method which is based on direct integration of the pressure acting on the submerged surface of barge are compared with those due to far-field method which is based on the theory of momentum conservation. Numerical results of the linear motions are compared with the experimental and numercal ones which was submitted in the literature. A convergence of the steady drift forces according to the increase of the number of panels which represent the submerged surface are discussed.
