발전소 온배수와 같은 페열의 방류는 여타 방류와는 달리 방류량이 단위 호기당 20-50ton/s 가량으로 매우 크며, 따라서 그 영향을 받는 해역도 매우 크다는 점이 특징이다. 최근 국내에서 시도되고 있는 심층 온배수 방류는 주변수에 비해 밀도가 작은 제트나 플룸의 형성 후 급격한 부력상승과 밀도차에 의한 수평 부력 확장(lateral buoyant spread)이 준 지배적인 현상으로 하수장의 혼합에 비해 즘 더 복잡한 양상을 띄게 된다. (중략)

As a large scale port development in coastal waters proceeds step by step and populations in the vicinity of port are getting increased, the issue on "how to dispose the treated municipal water and wastewater in harbor" brings peoples′ concern. The submarine outfall system discharges the primary or secondary treated effluent at the coastline or in deep water, or between these two. The effluent, which has a density similar to that of fresh water, rises to the sea surface forming plume or jet, together with entraining the surrounding sea water and becomes very dilute. We intended in this paper to investigate the impact on dilution of effluent and the behavior of flume under the conditions of the seasonal and spatial temperature variations, which have not been noticeable in designing effective marine outfall system. To predict and analyze the behaviour and dilution characteristics of plume not just with the effluent temperature, but also with the seasonal variation of temperature of surround water and tidal changes, CORMIX(Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System)-GI have been applied. The results should be used with caution in evaluation the mixing zone characteristics of discharged water. We hope to help for the effective operation of outfall system, probable outfall design, protection of water quality, and warm water discharges from a power plant, etc.
