Abstract

The ECOM3D is used to study the circulation characteristics and density current from the Sumjin River runoff in the Kwangyang Estuarine System, South Sea, Korea. Annual mean value of $120m^3/s$ was imposed from the Sumjin River. The numerical model results in terms of tidal height, current and salinity field show satisfactory with skill scores over 90%. The current velocity showed the range of 1~2.5 m/s during flood and ebb phases. In particular, very strong flow occur in the narrow Channels of Noryang, Daebang and Changson exceeding over 2.0 m/s. The tidal residual currents in the various locations in the Kwangyang Estuary showed the range of 1~21 cm/s, The density-driven current through the Yeosu and Noryang Channels are about 12 cm/s and 4 cm/s, respectively. The current path through the Yeosu Channel is deflected toward west Bank. Based on budget analysis of the volume flux, the volume flux through the Yeosu Channel and the Noryang Channel were estimated to be 97.4 and $22.1m^3/s$ accounting for the 81.5% and 18.5% of total flux, respectively.

광양만 권역의 해수 순환 양상과 섬진강 하천수 유입으로 발생하는 밀도류 이동 양상을 3차원 수치모델링 실험을 통해 연구하였다. $120m^3/s$의 섬진강 연평균 유량을 부과하여 실험을 진행하였다. 조위와 유속장, 염분장에 대해 각각 스킬분석(skill analysis)을 이용하여 모델을 검증하였으며, 그 결과 대부분 90%가 넘는 재현율을 보였다. 모델은 조류, 담수유입에 의한 염분장의 변화를 잘 재현하였다. 창낙조시의 유속장의 분포는 1~2.5 m/s의 범위를 보였다. 특히 노량과 대방, 그리고 창선수로에서 2.0 m/s 이상의 강한 흐름이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 지형적 요인에 의해 좌우되는 조석잔차류의 크기는 1~21 cm/s의 범위를 보였고, 섬진강 담수 유입으로 인해 형성된 표층의 밀도류는 여수해만으로 진행하는 12 cm/s의 이하의 남향류와 노량수로로 진행하는 4 cm/s 이하의 동향류가 발생한다. 특히 여수해만에서의 밀도류 흐름은 서쪽 해안에 편향되어 남하하는 양상을 보였다. 모델 내 경계면에서의 체적 수송량과 밀도류 분포를 분석한 결과, 평수기시 섬진강으로부터 광양만 권역에 유입된 담수는 $97.4m^3/s$ (81.5%)가 여수해만으로 유입되며 $22.1m^3/s$ (18.5%)가 진주만으로 유입되는 양상을 보였다.
