Abstract

In order to investigate current characteristics at the Gungpyung beach, which is a macrotidal flat, field measurements were carried out in the summer and winter at the intertidal and the subtidal zones. The distribution of residual current at intertidal flat was dominant in the northward direction in the summer and dominant in the northward and southwestern directions in the winter. The direction and speed of the residual current in the winter are highly correlated with the significant wave height, and the turbidity is also highly correlated with the significant wave height. Therefore, in the winter, high sediment rates are suspended by high waves, and sediments are transporting due to the residual current in the southwest direction. On the other hand, it is expected that the northward residual current is predominant due to the small wave in the summer, and sediment transport does not occur largely due to less suspended sediments. In addition, sediment transport in the southern direction is blocked by the dock, which is the artificial structure, and the erosion occurs in the south side of the dock. The erosion pattern in the macrotidal zone of Yellow sea is dominated by seasonal waves, and blocking of sediments by artificial structure is very important.

대조차 조간대 지역의 유속 특성을 조사하기 위하여 궁평 해변 조간대 및 인근 조하대에서 하계와 동계 정점 유속관측을 수행하였다. 조간대 잔차류의 분포는 하계 시에는 북향의 잔차류가 지배적이었고, 반면에 동계에는 북향과 남서향의 이분화된 잔차류 패턴이 지배적으로 나타났다. 동계의 잔차류 방향과 크기는 유의파고와 상관성이 높게 나타났고, 탁도 역시 유의파고와 상관성이 높게 나타났다. 동계의 고파랑에 의한 저층 퇴적물의 부유가 많이 발생되고 남서향의 잔차류에 의해 퇴적물이 이동되어 해변 침식이 주로 발생한다. 하계는 파랑의 강도가 약하고 북향의 잔차류가 지배적이며, 저층 퇴적물의 부유가 상대적으로 낮게 발생하여 퇴적물 이동이 낮게 발생된다. 또한 인공 구조물에 의해 남쪽 방향으로의 퇴적물 이동이 인위적으로 차단되어 선착장 남측에서 침식이 더 강하게 발생할 것이다. 서해안 대조차 조간대에서의 침식 현상에 대한 주요 인자는 계절적인 파랑에 지배적으로 조절되며, 인공구조물에 의한 퇴적물 차단이 중요하게 영향을 미치고 있다.
