The Korean peninsula has a number of coastal sites where the rhythmic rising and lowering of water surface due to tides results in strong tidal current. The kinetic energy of these currents can be efficiently exploited by use of tidal current turbines. The pilot tidal current power plant is to be constructed at the Uldolmok narrow channel between J info and Haenam, Our ins next Year, and extensive coastal engineer ing research works have been carried out. This paper describes and analyzes some observation results of field test about the efficiency of Helical turbine for tidal current power plant. The efficiency of turbine, which is diameter 2.2m and height 2.5m, is evaluated meximum RPM, torque, and current velocity. The tested turbines had the maximum efficiencies of the bounds of 25 to 35% in the current velocity range between 1.4 and 2.6 m/s. This result shows that the pilot tidal current power plant needs three helical turbines with diameter 3.0m and height 3.6m to produce electric power 500kW.

한강하구 염하수로 주변의 조석 조류 변형과 창 낙조 우세를 분석하기 위해서 4개 정점에서 동기간에 관측한 조류자료와 기 관측된 조석자료를 분석하였다. 조석 및 조류의 변형 정도는 $M_4/M_2$ 진폭비를 분석한 결과 상류로 갈수록 증가하며, 조석의 상대 위상차($2M_2-M_4$)를 계산하면 모든 정점의 값이 $180^{\circ}C$ 이하로 창조 우세를 보여준다. 그러나 조류자료의 통계분석 결과를 보면 조석 조화상수의 상대 위상차 결과와는 다르게 최강 평균 낙조가 창조에 비하여 강하게 나타나며, 정조시각을 이용하여 창조, 낙조 지속시간을 계산하면 낙조 지속시간이 길게 나타난다. 각 조류 관측정점의 주축 방향 유속성분의 상관도를 분석한 결과 인천항 이후 염하수로 북쪽입구까지는 상관도 값이 0.9 이상으로 높게 나타났다. 조류 분석결과에서 보여지는 낙조가 우세하고 낙조 지속시간이 긴 형태의 원인을 분석하기 위해서 조화분해 결과를 재구성하였다. 주 분조($M_2$)와 천해 분조($M_4$)를 결합하면 창조가 우세하고 낙조 지속시간이 긴 전형적인 창조우세 형태의 곡선이 나타난다. 그러나 이 곡선에 조류 성분의 산술 합으로 계산한 비 조류성분(잔차류)의 값을 더하면 낙조가 강해지고 낙조 지속시간이 긴 형태로 나타난다. 즉, 천해분조에 의해서 발생하는 상류방향의 흐름을 극복하는 담수와 하구 비선형 효과에 의해서 생성되는 장주기 조류성분과 같은 낙조방향의 평균적인 흐름이 존재하기 때문에 독특한 낙조심화 현상이 염하수로에서 나타난다.

A simple but effective method has been developed for estimating diurnal and semi-diurnal tidal currents from trajectories of satellite-tracked drifters. The estimation method consists of separation of tidal current signals contained in the drifter trajectories, computation of undulations by diurnal and semi-diurnal currents, and correction of dominant diurnal and semi-diurnal tidal constituents. M$_2$ tidal currents estimated from drifter trajectories in the Yellow Sea are well consistent with those observed by moored current meters and this supports the validity of this method. We have constructed M$_2$ tidal current chart in the Yellow Sea by applying this method to available drifter trajectories collected during 1994-1998. According to this chart, M$_2$ current in the Yellow Sea rotates in the clockwise direction south of 35$^{\circ}$ 30'N but in the counterclockwise one to the north. Also it is found that the M$_2$ current is strong in the bank area northeast of the Changjiang River mouth and in the Korean coastal area, while it is weak in the deep central trough.

This study is based on a series of numerical modeling experiments to understand the tidal circulation in the Kangjin Bay (KB). The tidal circulation in the KB is mostly controlled by the inflow from two channels, Noryang and Daebang which introduce the open ocean water into the northern part of the KB with relatively strong tidal current, while in the southern part of the KB, shallowest region of the entire study area, weak tidal current prevails. The model prediction of the sea level agrees with observed records at skill scores exceeding 90 % in terms of the four major tidal constituents (M2, S2, K1, O1). However, the skill scores for the tidal current show relatively lower values of 87, 99, 59, 23 for the semi-major axes of the constituents, respectively. The tidal ellipse parameters in the KB are such that the semi-major axes of the ellipse for M2 range from 1.7 to 38.5 cm/s and those for S2 range from 0.5 to 14.4 cm/s. The orientations of the major-axes show parallel with the local isobath. The eccentricity values at various grid points of ellipses for M2 and S2 are very low with 0.2 and 0.06 on the average, respectively illustrating that the tidal current in the KB is strongly rectilinear. The magnitude of the tidal residual current speed in the KB is on the order of a few cm/s and its distribution pattern is very complex. One of the most prominent features is found to be the counter-clockwise eddy recirculation cell at the mouth of the Daebang Channel.

The effective range of surface current data observed by high-frequency radar (HFR) operated in the northern coastal area of Jeju Island by Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology was estimated and the distribution and variability of the M₂ tidal current of the Jeju Strait was analyzed. To evaluate the HFR data, the M₂ tidal current corrected from 25 hours current data observed by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) was compared with the M₂ tidal current in the Jeju Strait analyzed from the surface currents of HFR. The reliability of HFR data was confirmed by analyzing the characteristics of the tide components of these two data sets, and the effective range of HFR data was estimated through temporal and spatial analysis. The observation periods of HFR used in the analysis were from 2012 to 2014, and it was confirmed that there is a difference in the effective range of HFR data according to the observation time. During the analysis periods, the difference between the M₂ current ellipses from the data of KHOA and the HFR was greater in the eastern than in the western part of the Jeju Strait, and represented a high reliability in the western and central parts of the Jeju Strait. The tidal current of the Jeju Strait analyzed using the HFR data revealed a seasonal variability a relatively weak in summer and a strong in winter, about a 17% fluctuations between the summer and winter based on the length of the semi-major axis of tidal ellipse. Appraisals and results of regarding the characteristics and seasonal variability of the M₂ tidal current in the Jeju Strait using HFR data have not been previously reported, so the results of this study are considered meaningful.

This is a preliminary study of the feasibility of obtaining reliable tidal current harmonic constants, using one month of current observations, to verify the accuracy of a tidal model. An inference method is commonly used to separate out the tidal harmonic constituents when the available data spans less than a synodic period. In contrast to tidal constituents, studies of the separation of tidal-current harmonics are rare, basically due to a dearth of the long-term observation data needed for such experiments. We conducted concurrent and monthly harmonic analyses for tidal current velocities and heights, using 2 years (2006 and 2007) of current and sea-level records obtained from the Tidal Current Signal Station located in the narrow waterway in front of Incheon Lock, Korea. Firstly, the l-year harmonic analyses showed that, with the exception of $M_2$ and $S_2$ semidiurnal constituents, the major constituents were different for the tidal currents and heights. $K_1$, for instance, was found to be the 4th major tidal constituent but not an important tidal current constituent. Secondly, we examined monthly variation in the amplitudes and phase-lags of the $S_2$ and $K_1$ current-velocity and tide constituents over a 23-month period. The resultant patterns of variation in the amplitudes and phase-lags of the $S_2$ tidal currents and tides were similar, exhibiting a sine curve form with a 6-month period. Similarly, variation in the $K_1$ tidal constant and tidal current-velocity phase lags showed a sine curve pattern with a 6-month period. However, that of the $K_1$ tidal current-velocity amplitude showed a somewhat irregular sine curve pattern. Lastly, we investigated and tested the inference methods available for separating the $K_2$ and $S_2$ current-velocity constituents via monthly harmonic analysis. We compared the effects of reduction in monthly variability in tidal harmonic constants of the $S_2$ current-velocity constituent using three different inference methods and that of Schureman (1976). Specifically, to separate out the two constituents ($S_2$ and $K_2$), we used three different inference parameter (i.e. amplitude ratio and phase-lag diggerence) values derived from the 1-year harmonic analyses of current-velocities and tidal heights at (near) the short-term observation station and from tidal potential (TP), together with Schureman's (1976) inference (SI). Results from these four different methods reveal that TP and SI are satisfactorily applicable where results of long-term harmonic analysis are not available. We also discussed how to further reduce the monthly variability in $S_2$ tidal current-velocity constants.

1987년 8월 24일부터 9월 28일까지 경기만에 발달한 조류 기원 사퇴위에서 측정한 조류 자료를 분석하여 해저면 상부 1.0 m 에서의 조류 속도(U /SUP 100/) 및 경계면에 서의 전단 속도(U /SUP */)를 구하였다. 전 조사기간 동안 평균 조류 속도는 중충(해 저면 상부 9.0 m)에서 창조시 56.3 cm/sec, 낙조시 63.7 cm/sec 의 지수는 0.15로 추 정된다. 해저 경계층에서의 유속 구조가 대수적 속도 구조 (logarithmix velocity profile) 가정을 이용하여 구한 U /SUP 100/, U /SUP */의 평균값은 각각 41.4 cm/sec로 계산되었다. 본 연구에서 계산된 평균 U /SUP */ 값은 (2.39 cm/sec)동일 지 역에서 최(1990)가 보고한 경계면에서의 임계전단 속도 U /SUP *c/ 보다 상당히 크며, 따라서 본 연구지역의 모래는 대부분의 조석 기간중 쉽게 침식 운반되는 것으로 보여 진다.

Even though it is well known that the tidal current in the East China Sea rotates clockwise, few report can be found about the precise pattern of it. To furnish some information available for the stow net fishermen, the author carried out the observation over 235 semidiurnal tidal cycle to investigate the pattern of the set and the rate of tidal current in the Korean fishing section 250 and 494, by reading the current meter and by tracing the corner reflectors with radar onboard the anchored obsen'ation vessel, from May 12, 1984 through February 27, 1986. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The mean semidiurnal tidal cycle was 12 h 20 m during spring tide, and 12 h 30 m during neap tide. 2. The mean interval from the calculated time of high water until the current began to set north was 2 h 30 m and 2 h 15 m in the fishing section 250 and 494 respectively, and the mean interval from the time of low water current began to set south was about 2 h 0 m in both sections. 3. In comparison of the occupied times to vary the set from one of 8 principal bearing points to the neighboring one, the shortest was while the set varied from N to NE and S to SW in the section 250 and 494 respectively. Contrary the longest was while the set varied from SE to S and from W to NW in the section 250 and 494 respectively. 4. In comparison of the rate while the set varied from one of 8 principal bearing points to the neighboring one, the fastest was while the set varied from SE to Sand NW to N in the section 250, and E to SE and W to NW in the section 494. Contrary the slowest was while the current set to NE and S W in the section 250, and N, NE and S W in the section 494.
