Abstract

The water-quality control for coastal waters is continuously required in view point of the environmental protection. The purpose of this study is to simulate the hydrodynamic process and the dispersion phenomena of several pollutants in Suyeong Bay, Pusan. The present study employs the depth-averaged 2-dimensional model for nemerical simulation of the hydrodynamics and diffusion. The nemerical solution is obtained by ADI(Altenating Direction Implicit) scheme which is frequently used for tidal current and diffusion computations in the coastal zone. To verify the nunlerical results, the field observations of various water quality parameters such as COD, SS and nutrients were performed during the spring tide. In the results of this study, the computed tidal currents show the clockwise flows for ebb tide and counter-clockwise flows for flood tide. In comparison with the water-qualities in ebb tide and flood tide, there seems to be slightly deteriorated in ebb tide and especially near the estuary of Suyeong River. In flood tide, however, the water-quality near Kwangan Beach is deteriorated. The computed distributions of COD and SS are in god agreements with the observed ones, while those of $PO_4\;^{3-}-P\;and\;NO_3\;^--N$ show slight differences due to the complex transformation processes.
