Nearshore current generation at two coastlines contemplated for beach resort development is studied with the use of a numerical model for coexisting waves and currents. A nested-mesh technique was applied to consolidate the 2 domains of coarse and fine bathymetric data and to translate deep water wave conditions at the nearshore mesh boundary. The hydrodynamic model is validated using tide data at the nearest tide stations, while offshore wave conditions, determined from a wave hindcasting method, are inputted as quasi-stationary forcing. Simulations results of wave-current co-existing fields indicate local areas of rip currents within the project coastlines. In order to evaluate the safe swimming zones, an analysis of threshold currents under idealized conditions of human characteristics was carried out, that indicated a threshold of 0.16 mps for pure currents. With a safety margin to account for co-existing waves, rip current zones not exceeding 0.1 mps are considered safe and are used to designate the safe swimming areas for the 2 locations.

In this study, a numerical simulation is performed to produce wave hindcasting data from 2007 to 2018 for the assessment of wave energy resources in the sea waters of Korea. The hindcasting data are obtained with a relatively fine spatial resolution of 1/20° covering 120–150 °E longitude and 22.4–47.6 °N latitude using the Simulating WAves Nearshore wave model (SWAN). Three different wind fields, those of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather (ECMWF), National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), are used for the numerical wave simulation. It is observed that the wind field dataset of JMA exhibits the best agreement with available field observation data. For this reason, the wave energy resources are evaluated based on the data hindcasted using the JMA wind field. It is found that the overall magnitudes of wave energy are larger in winter than in summer. The wave energy in August, however, is comparable to the mean wave energy during winter because of the influence of frequent high wave events caused by typhoons. The highest monthly average wave power around Yellow Sea, South Sea, East Sea, and Jeju Island are 13.3, 18.2, 13.7, and 40 kW/m, respectively.
