Abstract

This study is based on a series of numerical modeling experiments to understand the circulation and its change in the Chunsu Bay (CSB), Yellow Sea of Korea. A skill analysis was performed for the tidal height and tidal current of the observation data using the amplitude and phase of the 4 major tidal constituents respectively for verification of modeling experimental results. As a result, most of the skill score was seen to be over 90%, so numerical model experiment results can be said to be in good agreement with the observed tidal height and tidal current. Tidal wave proceeded from the entrance of the CSB towards inside, and the tidal range gradually increased to the north. It took about 10 to 30 minutes for the tidal wave to reach to northern end. The tidal wave showed a characteristic to rotate counter-clockwise in the southern part. The tidal current flowed to the north-south direction along the bottom topography; the angle of the major axis appeared alongside the isobath. It showed the characteristics of reversing tidal current with the minor axis less than 10% of the major axis. The strength of the tidal residual current that is influenced by geographical factors including bathymetry and coastline showed the range of 1~30 cm/sec, greater in the south channel and smaller in northern Bay. Two pairs of cyclonic/anti-cyclonic eddies around Jukdo and 3~4 pairs of strong eddies at the southern part of CSB in hundreds of m to a few km size by relative vorticity derived from the tidal residual current.

수치 모델링 실험을 활용하여 서해 천수만의 해수 유동과 그 변화를 이해하기 위한 연구를 수행했다. 모델링 실험 결과에 대한 검증을 위해 관측 자료의 조위와 조류 각각 4대 분조의 진폭과 위상을 이용하여 스킬 분석을 실시했다. 그 결과 스킬 점수는 대부분 90%가 넘는 것으로 보아 수치 모델링 실험 결과는 관측된 조위와 조류가 양호하게 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 천수만의 조석파는 만 입구에서 안쪽으로 진행되며 북부로 갈수록 조차는 점차 증가했다. 조석파가 북부까지 도달하는데 약 10~30분의 시간이 소요되었다. 남부에서 조석파는 반시계 방향으로 회전하는 특성을 보였다. 조류는 해저 지형을 따라 남-북 방향으로 흘렀으며, 장축의 각도는 등수심선과 나란히 나타났다. 조류타원의 단축이 장축의 10% 이하로 왕복성 조류의 특성을 보였다. 수심과 해안선 등 지형적 요인에 의해 좌우되는 조석잔차류의 크기는 1~30 cm/sec의 범위를 보였고, 남쪽 수로에서 컸으며 만의 북부에서는 작았다. 조석잔차류로부터 유도된 상대와도를 통해 수 백 m에서 수 km 크기로 시계/반시계 방향으로 회전하는 와류를 확인했고, 죽도 주변에서 2쌍, 남부에서 형성된 3~4쌍의 강한 와류 특성을 파악했다.
