The buoyancy and initial momentum fluxes make near-field dominated by buoyant jet when thermal discharge releases underwater. In order to estimate prediction capabilities of those near-field phenomena, non-hydrostatic RANS applied CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) model was used. Condition of model was composed based on past laboratory experiments. Numerical simulations carried out for the horizontal buoyant jet in the stagnant flow and vertical buoyant jet into crossflow. The results of simulation are compared with the terms of trajectory and dilution rate of laboratory experiments and analytic model(CorJET) results. CFD model showed a good agreement with them. CFD model can be appropriate for assessment of submerged thermal discharge effect because CFD model can resolve the limitations of near-field analytic model and far-field quasi 3D hydrodynamic model. The accuracy and capability of the CFD model is reviewed in this study. If the computational efficiency get improved, CFD model can be widely applied for simulation of transport and diffusion of submerged thermal discharge.

Efforts are concentrated onto effective simulation of surface discharged heat water in two-dimensional depth-averaged finite element model using Gaussian puff algorithm incorporating near-field characteristics as patches computed from CORMIX3 with ambient flow variations. Concise analyses of horizontal and vertical temperature distributions are made for real coastal power plant discharges through four field observations and the results from this proposed method are in good agreements with observations in far-field as well as near-field. Thus, this method can simulate the heat dispersion effectively for the whole region since the complex jet momentum characteristics and ambient flows are easily represented in 10 meters of finite element discretization around a discharging point.

In order to simulate surface discharged heat dispersion in costal area, a 2-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian model for far field and semi-active particle tracking random walk model in near field has been combined. The mass of discharged heat water in near field has treated as particles with buoyancy and this is eventually converted to horizontal additive dispersion in random walk equations. This model is applied to both a simplified coastal geometry and a real site. In simple application it can simulate plume-like characteristics around discharging point than a near field-model, CORMIX/3. Actual application in the Chonsu Bay shows farther spreading of heat water in near field comparing the observed data, and this shows that the developed model might be applied with satisfaction.

해안을 따라 인구밀도가 증가하고 임해지역공단 등 산업시설이 밀집하여 처리되지 않은 하 폐수가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 최근엔 필리핀 보라카이와 같이 관광 위락시설에 의한 하수가 대량으로 발생하고 있다. 또한, 세계적으로 거의 모든 국가의 주요 해안도시는 이러한 도시하수를 바다로 방류하고 있다. 현재로선 이러한 하 폐수의 처리는 바다의 자정능력(self-purification capacity) 한계를 고려한 하수의 해양으로의 방류가 최선의 방법으로 판단된다. 현재 국내에서는 지역에 따른 배출허용기준에 따라 하수의 처리수 방류가 규제되고 있지만, 확산영역에 대한 법적 기준치는 제시되지 않고 있으며, 인근에 위치한 권리자들과의 이해관계 해결에만 몰두하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 확산영향예측이 원역 해석모형(Far Field analysis model)에 의해 수행되기 때문에 근역(Near Field)에서의 영향을 간과하고 있다고 판단된다. 따라서 금회 연구에서는 기존 연구결과를 기준하여 특정해역에 대한 원역과 근역 해석에 따른 확산영향 예측을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하여 앞으로의 해석방법을 제시하고자 한다.

This study was performed to investigate the behaviour of root zone environments under the control of soil temperature and tension of soil moisture near the root Bone of 'Kyoho' grapes tree grown on restricted root zone system in plastic greenhouse. Maximum diurnal air temperature inside plastic greenhouse ranged between 25.1 and 32.7$^{\circ}C$, and the average of nocturnal air temperature inside plastic greenhouse maintained at 18$^{\circ}C$ in winter season. Also the minimum diurnal relative humidity ranged between 50 and 55%, and the maximum nocturnal relative humidity ranged between 84 to 87%. At a depth of 15cm from soil surface, the average soil temperature maintained at 25.6$^{\circ}C$ for under-ground heating, and appeared to 17.4$^{\circ}C$ for unheated condition. Although the tension of soil moisture just after irrigation sharply decreased to pF 1.5, the tension of soil moisture at the depth of 15cm maintained at pF 2.0~2.2. It is suggested that the tension of soil moisture at the depth of 15cm might be used as the standard for the determination of irrigation set point. Effective drainage system is needed to prevent the spindly and succulent growth of vine trees grown in restricted root zone system.

When planning outfall system, the first target cif design is to maximize initial dilution of discharge effluent. To achieve the target effectively, the characteristics of mixing phenomenon between ambient and discharged water should be analyzed. Especially the analysis at the Near-Field-Region(NFR) as initial dilution zone should be preceded. Usually, the initial behavior of effluent through outfall system is rising toward the surface due to mixing with ambient water for heat discharge and sinking toward the bottom due to the difference of density for brine discharge. After mixed with eddies accompanied by the ambient water, the plumes are showing the same density and internal current pattern by advection and diffusion. Until recently, lots of studies are being carried out for the optimum design of outfall system. but it is difficult to find any studies of heat and brine discharge at the same time. Therefore, this study is hoped to provide some basic data for optimum design of outfall system.

This study developed the jet integral model to analyze the behavior of the wastewater discharge in the near field using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method in order to numerically solve the problems of six ordinary differential equations and six unknowns. This jet integral model used the entrainment hypothesis and the manipulation of sonle shape constant. This study also conducted the hydraulic experiments fnr single horizontal buoyant Jet using LIF through the calibration procedure. The results calculated by the previous models, CORMIX 1 and VISJET, and the proposed jet integral model were compared to the hydraulic experimental results. The centerline trajectories predicted by the proposed model were in good agreements with the experimental results in the transition region whereas the trajectories calculated by the VISJET model agreed well with the measured data in the momentum and buoyancy-dominated regions. The centerline dilution calculated by the proposed model agreed generally with the measured dilution in the intial and transition regions while the centerline dilution predicted by the CORMIX 1 was in good agreements with the experimental results in the momentum and buoyancy-dominated regions.
