The long-term water-quality change of Asan Bay by the influx of polluted disposal water was predicted through a simulation with an Eco-hydrodynamic model. Eco-hydrodynamic model is composed of a multi-level hydrodynamic model to simulate the water flow and an ecosystem model to simulate water quality. The water quality simulation revealed that the COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand), dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP) are increased at 5 stations for the subsequent 6 months after the influx of the effluent. COD, DIN and DIP showed gradual decreases in concentration during the period of one to two years after the increase of last 6 months and reached steady state for next three to ten years. Concentration levels of COD, DIN, and DIP showed the increase by the ranges of $11{\sim}67%$, $10{\sim}67%$, and $0.5{\sim}7%$, respectively, which represents that the COD and DIN are the most prevalent pollutants among substances in the effluent through the sewage treatment plant. The current water quality of Asan Bay based on the observed COD, TN and TP concentrations ranks into the class II of the Korean standards for marine water quality but the water quality would deteriorate into class III in case that the disposal water by the sewage plant is discharged into the Bay.

낙동강 하구 환경/생태 복원을 위하여 "해수유입"으로 하구환경을 조성하는 사업이 추진되고 있으며, 해수 유입 규모와 빈도에 따른 생태환경변화를 예측하는 연구수요가 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 보다 구체적으로는 단기간의 해수유입에 의한 흐름 및 염분 확산범위 예측과 더불어 보다 장기간의 지형변화, 수질환경 변화, 생태환경 변화 등에 대한 예측이 필요한 상황이다. 그리고 그 예측의 대부분을 수치모델에 크게 의존하고 있는 상황이다. 그러나, 수치모형을 이용한 단기 예측은 가까운 미래에 대한 입력조건을 사용하여야 하기 때문에 입력조건에 대한 불확실성이 포함되고, 환경생태모형의 불확실성에 따른 예측 한계 등으로 인하여 오차가 누적되기 때문에 직접적인 활용에 크게 제한이 따를 수 있다. 또한 운영과정에서 어떤 분산, 편향 오차 등이 지속적으로 발생하는 경우, 모델 예측 결과에 대한 신뢰수준이 크게 감소하기 때문에 모델의 적절한 운영기법이 요구된다. 모델은 관심을 가지는 자연현상에 대한 근사(approximation)이고, 예상하지 못한 오차가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 관측 자료를 이용한 자료동화(data assimilation) 과정이 운영모델에서는 필수적인 부분이다. 이론적인 기반이 탄탄한 유체역학 기반 기상예측의 경우에도, 가용한 모든 지점의 관측 자료를 이용한 자료 동화과정을 통하여 모델 예측 결과를 개선하여 나가는 과정을 포함하여 운영하고 있다. 이 과정이 포함하는 중요한 개념은 수치모델이 가지고 있는 (예측 수준의) 한계를 인정하고, 수치모델에 전적으로 의존하는 것이 아니라 관측 자료를 이용하여 그 한계를 저감하여 나가는 과정이다. 모니터링은 모델의 한계를 알려주는 지표이다. 모델링과 모니터링의 불가피한 상호의존 관계를 의미하는 이 개념은 단기간의 흐름, 염분 확산 예측으로 한정되지 않고, 장기적인 변화가 예상되는 생태환경변화 모델에도 적용이 된다. 즉각적인 변화보다는 장기적인 관점에서 파악하여야 하는 생태학적인 변화는 보다 다양한 인자가 관여하기 때문에 어떤 측면에서는 모델보다는 적절한 빈도와 항목에 대한 관측계획 수립(monitoring design)이 더 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 이론적인 질량보존(mass conservation) 방정식을 기반으로 하는 모델은 다양한 현실적인 인자의 영향을 받기 때문에 모델의 한계를 인정하고, 모니터링 자료를 적극적으로 활용하여 불확실성을 저감하는 접근방식이 요구된다.

There are problems to research the aquatic ecosystems. One is that an observer must be stationed in the specified environment and the other is that his subjective analysis causes incorrect results. In this paper, we proposed the model to evaluate and manage resources. It is based on the simulation of data acquisition and hydrodynamic model in the aquatic ecosystems. We used the artificial neural network to detect the collision between fluids. In the experiment result, the proposed model if very effective and accurate in the detection of collision.

굴과 같은 이매패 양식장에서의 어장 환경 용량은 생물 서식환경의 질적, 양적 저하 없이 지속적으로 생산할 수 있는 생물의 양이라고 할 수 있다. 즉, 환경용량이란 환경의 악영향을 미치지 않으면서 지속적으로 최대 생산을 얻을수 있는 최대 생산을 오염부하 즉 자정 능력적 의미를 포함한다고 볼 수 있다. 연안 양식장은 대상해역에 따라 해수유동과 같은 물리적 특성, 해역이용 실태, 오염부하량 등 환경특성이 다양함으로 환경용량은 서로 다르다고 볼 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 통영시에 인접하여 도시하수의 영향으로 인하여 부영양화 되어 있다. 굴 양식이 행하여지는 북만을 대상으로 하여 양식 생물을 수용할 수 있는 환경용량을 생태유체역학 모델(藏本·中田,1991)을 이용하여 산정하고, 최적환경을 유지하기 위한 방안들을 검토하였다.

This research has established CFD model on pit's cool-tube system through heat and air movement simulations, of which data was based on experimental and verification. This research work verified the effectiveness of the cool-tube system by analysing temperature, humidity and air current of the actually installed case. Also, we analysed heat transfer through air current simulation and the results are as followings. Firstly, we experiment on temperature, humidity and speed of air currents of the cool tube system with pit space during the month of May (spring). The average exterior temperature was $16.1^{\circ}C$, and $18.2^{\circ}C$ for the pit, $24.7^{\circ}C$ for the compressor room. Secondly, based on measured data of real case, we have analysed heat transfer through air current simulation and verified our proposed model. The actual measurement of average temperature of exhaust air of the pit's area is $19.7^{\circ}C$ with tolerance of $-0.33^{\circ}C{\sim}-0.6^{\circ}C$ compared to above simulations. Thirdly, having verified air current simulation model with formation of 260,000 and 1,000,000 cells, we could get reasonable near values with 260,000 cells. Lastly, the next step of research would be focused on proposing the best possible pit's cool-tube system after analysis of heat transfer of the air current simulation based on verified CFD model.

In order to predict the indoor air pollutant, the VOCs emission rate is used through small chamber in the design process. However, the small chamber method has limitations as the convective mass transfer coefficient, the most important factor when predicting VOCs contamination of indoor air, is different between the small chamber result and the measured data in the actual building. Furthermore, the existing studies which analyzed mass transfer coefficient in the small chamber were directed on the small chambers developed at the time and FLEC(Field and Laboratory Emission Cell), thus, are different from the current small chamber which has been changed with improvements. The purpose of this study is to determine the emission rate of pollutant in multi-layered building materials, and predict the indoor pollutant concentration through the CFD(Computational of Fluid Dynamics) and CRIAQ2 based on the mass transfer coefficient on singled-layered building material by using the current small chamber widely used in Korea. Futhermore, this study used the new convective mass transfer coefficient(hm') which indicates the existing convective mass transfer coefficient(hm) including VOC partition coefficient(k). Also, formaldehyde was selected as target pollutant.

For effective management of water quality on the southern coast of korea, a three-dimensional eco-hydrodynamic model is used to predict water quality in summer and to estimate the reduction rate in pollutant loads that would be required to restore water quality. Under the current environmental conditions, in particular, pollutant loadings to the study area were very high, chemical oxygen demand (COD) exceeded seawater quality criteria to comply with current legislation, and water quality was in a eutrophic condition. Therefore, we estimated reduction rates of current pollutant loads by modeling. The model reproduced reasonably the flow field and water quality of the study area. If the terrestrial COD, inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus loads were reduced by 90%, the water quality criteria of Region A were still not satisfied. However, when the nutrient loads from polluted sediment and land were each reduced by 70% simultaneously, COD and $Chl-{\alpha}$ were restored. When we reduced the input COD and nutrient loads from the Nakdong River by 80%, $Chl-{\alpha}$ and COD of Region B decreased below $10\;{\mu}g\;1^{-1}$ and $2\;mg\;1^{-1}$, respectively. The water quality criteria of Region C were satisfied when we reduced the terrestrial COD and nutrient loads by 70%. Total allowable loadings of COD and inorganic nutrients in each region were determined by multiplying the reduction rates by current pollutant loads. Estimated high reduction rates, although difficult to achieve at the present time under the prevailing environmental conditions, suggest that water pollution is very severe in this study area, and pollutant loads must be reduced within total allowable loads by continuous and long-term management. To achieve the reduction in pollutant loads, sustainable countermeasures are necessary, including the expansion of sewage and wastewater facilities, polluted sediment control and limited land use.

When sewage and industrial wastewater are treated to improve the coastal water quality, we usually consider the reduction of BOD and/or COD. Due to the inflow of untreated nitrogen and phosphorus, however, the coastal water has eutrophicated. Thus, to improve the water qualify, it is necessary to treat and reduce nitrogen and phosphorus which are the factors limiting algal growth. Hence, with regard to the adaption of Ocean Outfall for the treatment of wastewater in Suyoung Bay, we studied the effectiveness and environmental assessment of Ocean Outfall of which cost is lower than that of advanced treatment, The effectiveness of Ocean Outfall of the second treatment effluent in Nambu S.T.P. was simulated, using the eco-hydrodynamic model as far field model the result showed that the water quality of coastal area receiving wastewater on the surface sea has improved. But the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus around the diffuser of Ocean Outfall system can cause many problems on estuary, such as red tide, eutrophication and aquatic toxicity.
