A series of laboratory experiments has been performed to investigate the flow characteristics of 2-dimensional density currents induced by selective withdrawal, which is commonly suggested as a measure for removal of high turbid water from reservoirs. Saltwater has been used to simulate the density stratification over depth and PIV(Particel Image Velocimetry) for observing the velocity structure. Experimental conditions have been established according to Richardson number, which is the dimensionless number that expresses the ratio of potential to kinetic energy. From the experiments, the patterns of longitudinal decay of centerline axial velocity induced by the withdrawal have been distinguished from other experimental cases. The rate of longitudinal decay increase as the Richardson number increases. The variations of volumetric and momentum flux along the longitudinal axis have also shown to be dependent on Richardson number.

본 연구에서는 하구 유입 하천에서 발생하는 염수쐐기의 형상 및 거동특성을 구명하기 위하여 정상상태 염수쐐기 실험을 수행하였다. 길이에 비해 상대적으로 폭이 좁은 개수로의 상류부분에는 담수를 지속적으로 공급할 수 있는 담수공급장치를 설치하였고, 정상상태의 염수쐐기를 발생시키기 위하여 염수수조 측면에 지속적으로 염수를 공급할 수 있는 염수공급수조를 설치하였다. 실험조건은 담수 방류량과 이층류의 밀도차의 영향을 고려한 밀도프루드수(densimetric Froude number)를 기준으로 선정하였다. 실험결과 각 케이스별 염수쐐기의 형상은 중앙부에서 약간의 산포된 양상을 제외하고는 거의 선형을 이루는 것으로 관찰되었다. 경계층의 형상과 두께는 이층류의 농도장을 측정하고 밀도변동성분을 고려한 표준편차를 통하여 산정하였다. 그리고 염수쐐기의 선단부에 해당하는 리차드슨수와 경계층 두께와의 비교 등을 통해서 경계층의 양상을 파악하였다.

Macrobenthic community was studied in Deukryang Bay, southwestern coast of Korea, in November 1991 and Januavy 1992. Hacrobenthic fauna consisted of 118 species with 20,767 individuals. The number of species and occurrence frequency of the major groups were as follows: 52 polychaetes species $(44.1\%)$, 45 crustaceans species $(38,1\%)$, 14 mollusks species $(11.9\%)$ and 7 other group species $(5.9\%)$. The mean density was $1432.2ind/m^2$. The density of major groups showed that mollusks was 920.4$(ind./m^2)$, polyrhaetes 275.8$(ind./m^2)$, and crustaceans 219.6$(ind./m^2)$. The dominant species were Musculista senhousia (Bivalvia), Eteone longa (Polychaeta), Nippopisella nagatai (Amphipoda) with density, 632.8$ind./m^2$, 37.8$ind./m^2$, and 35.3$ind./m^2$, respectively. This area could be divided into four areas by the cluster analysis based on the species composition.

In the large regulated Nakdong River, the Predation effect of juvenile fish on the zooplankton community was evaluated by gut and stomach analyses of fish in 1999. Juvenile fish of five species showed high density from May to early June when river discharge was low and water body became stagnant. During this period, large rotifers, Asplanchna spp. and Brachionus spp. declined and the decrease of cladoceran (Moina micrura and Bosminopsis deitersi) density was also obeserved. At this time, small rotifers including Polyarthra spp. reached maximum density. Gut analysis of fish demonstrated that small-sized juvenile fish (< 15 mm in total length)preferred large rotifers as well as cladocerans, while large sized fish (> 15 mm)selected only cladocerans. On the other hand, juvenile Micropterus salmoides of which size was larger than other juvenile fish consumed not only zooplankton but also other small juvenile fish. Based on these results, the decline of large rotifers and cladocerans during early summer in the river seems to be result of predation by juvenile fish. However, the period when juvenile fish maintained their high density was as short as one month and the decreased density of cladocera rapidly recovered as soon as juvenile fish became scarce. Such a short period of juvenile fish devel-opment in the river can be attributed to the consumption of juvenile fish by the young-of-the-year cohorts as well as adults of M. salmoides. The high trophic state of the river might permit the rapid recovery of the cladoceran community. The predation impact of juvenile fish in the Nakdong River seems to be affected by the existence of piscivore as well as high trophic status.

Accurate forecasting of occurrence time and abundance of insect pests is essential for developing technology of integrated pest management system. Digital image processing algorithms were utilized to automatically recognize rice planthoppers which are major insect pests in the rice cultivation field and were subsequently used to estimate densities in the field for efficient forecasting of insect pests. To the images taken in the rice field, image decomposition, top-hat transformation, threshold, and minimum and maximum filter were implemented for patterning individually the brown planthopper specimens attached at the bottom area of rice stems. In average 95.8cio of images were correctly recognized for estimating densities by the developed system, and the recognition rate was higher than that obtained from direct observations by experienced observers. Furthermore, the size of the recognized specimens was measured and was used for estimating the age structure in the observed brown planthopper populations.

In order to understand the flow properties of the South Sea of Korea, tidal currents, wind-driven currents, density-driven currents and residual flows were investigated by using 3-dimensional numerical model(POM). In offshore regions, tide-induced residual current tends to flow eastward during the spring tide and westward during the neap tide. Total residual flow is irregular due to the bottom topography in the coastal area. The density-driven currents in the coastal area showed to be relatively weak, with little seasonal differences. The special tendency was apparent in the open sea. That is, the flow in the offshore regions showed results similar to that of the Tsushima current. The wind-driven currents in the coastal area showed to be much stronger than in offshore regions. Vertically, the flow of the surface layer was much stronger than that of the bottom layer. Through these results, material transport and diffusion in the south coast, as a basis for predicting the spread of use is expected to be available.

In order to analyze the density current due to salt and temperature difference, this study develops new numerical model (LES-WASS-3D ver. 2.0) by introducing state equation for salt and temperature and 3D advection-diffusion equation to existing 3D numerical wave tank (LES-WASS-3D ver. 1.0). To verify the applicability, the newly-developed numerical model is analyzed comparing to the experimental result of existing numerical model. In the result, it well implement the behavior and vertical salt concentration of advected and diffused seawater as well as flow velocity and temperature of the discharged warm water. This confirms the validity and effectiveness of the developed numerical model.

The spatial characteristics of stratification In Deukryang Bay were studded using observed data and analytical models. From the description of the density structure and its the potential energy anomaly (PEA) from observed data along longitudinal direction (from the mouth to head of the bays, we found that the stratification Intensity could be changed strongly by density current effect during the spring-neap tidal cycle, and depth variation. To find out density current effect for the formation of the stratification In detail, we Implemented a diagnostic approach by using the modified analytical model including density current, tidal current, surface heating and wind stirring. The model allowed for the observed similarities for the whole domain in the bay and increased tidal mixing efficiency value s up to 0.006-0.007 as compared to the results without density current effect. We found that the density current effect was also an important key factor In determining the formation of the spatial distribution of stratification.

선박 및 해상교통관제에 있어서 교통 혼잡구역에 대한 선박교통밀도 예측은 선박충돌사고 예방에 중요하다. 선박 교통밀도 예측정보는 사전에 진입하는 선박들에게 속력조정, 우회항로 이용 등 사전 조치가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 해상 선박교통상황을 딥러닝 네트워크에 학습한 주의구역 선박교통류 예측 모델(Ship Traffic Extraction Network, STENet)을 제안하여 주의구역의 선박교통류 예측을 수행하고자 한다. STENet 모델 학습을 위해 여수해역 AIS 데이터를 전처리하고, 생성된 입력(해상교통상황)-출력(주의구역 교통밀도) 쌍 데이터를 적용하여 STENet 모델을 학습하였다. 학습된 모델을 이용하여 선박교통류 예측을 한 결과, 중기예측은 표준 절대 오차(mean absolute error)가 0.4-0.5척이 였으며, 장기예측은 0.7-0.8척의 오차로 기존의 Dead Reckoning에 의한 방법보다 50% 이상 교통밀도 예측성능이 향상 되었다.

선박 및 VTS에서 선박교통량이 밀집되는 혼잡해역의 선박교통밀도 평가는 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 선박 충돌 회피를 위한 적절한 반경인 Ship Domain 영역과 혼잡구역 내 선박 체류시간 및 전 방위 통항류를 고려하여 혼잡해역의 항로가동률 및 실시간 해상교통밀도 산출 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 제안된 모델식을 기반으로 시뮬레이터를 프로그래밍하여, 실 해역 해상교통 데이터를 적용하여 제안한 모델식의 유효성을 평가하고자 한다.
