해양으로 유출된 5 mm 이하의 크기로 분해된 미세플라스틱이 해양 환경 오염의 주요 원인으로 자리잡았다. 최근에는 청정해역으로 알려진 남극해에서도 발견되고 있어 남극해에 잔류하는 미세플라스틱 오염 수준을 이해하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 하지만, 파랑의 효과를 고려한 남극해의 해수 순환 구조와 미세플라스틱의 고유 특성을 반영한 미세플라스틱의 거동 및 공간적 분포에 대한 복합적 이해는 상대적으로 부족하다. 남극해에서 발견된 미세플라스틱은 과학기지들의 방류수나, 조사선 등과 같은 인위적인 활동으로 인해 집적될 수 있으며, 특히 영구적으로 거주하는 과학기지에서 흘려보내는 방류수에 포함된 미세플라스틱은 과학기지 주변 해수 오염에 직접적인 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 파랑 효과에 따른 남극 킹조지 섬(King George Island)에 위치한 세종과학기지의 방류수에 포함된 미세플라스틱의 이송에 대해 모의하였다. 세종과학기지가 위치한 킹조지 섬과 넬슨 섬(Nelson Island) 사이의 멕스웰 만(Maxwell Bay)의 해수 흐름을 재현하기 위하여 해수 유동 모델(Delft3D-FLOW)이 사용되었다. 또한, 해수 유동 모델에 파랑 모델(Delft3D-WAVE)을 결합하여 파랑의 효과가 미세플라스틱의 이송에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 세종과학기지의 방류수가 흘러나가는 마리안 소만(Marian Cove)의 유속장을 바탕으로 이송, 확산, 입자의 침강 속도를 고려하여서, 세종과학기지에서 밀물 시 방출한 입자를 라그랑지안 입자 추적(Lagrangian Particle Tracking) 방법을 이용해 추적하였다. 해수의 밀도보다 가벼운 플라스틱의 경우 해수 표층의 흐름을 따라 소만 내부로 이송되어 해안선에 도달하고, 해수의 밀도보다 무거운 플라스틱의 경우 소만 내부로 이송되나 입자의 침강 속도로 인해 방출 위치 근처에서 집적된다. 파랑의 효과를 고려하게 되면, 고려하기 전보다 두 종류의 미세플라스틱 모두 소만 내부로 더 멀리 이송되는데, 이는 파랑으로 인한 힘(wave-induced force)이 해수 유동 모델의 운동방정식에 추가되며 파랑 에너지 분산으로 인해 해수 흐름에 변화를 준 것으로 보인다.

An improved two-dimensional Eulerian-Lagrangian convection-dispersion model was established after comparing several models. To simulate long term release of discontinuous suspended solid source from coastal dike construction, source was represented by Fourier transformation. It was concluded that this model can effectively simulate long term coastal dispersion problems.

In coastal region, eutrophication, Do deficit and red tide are frequently occurred by influx of fresh water. When the fresh water containing pollutants is discharged into the sea, the surrounding water is contaminated by dispersion of freshwater flowing into coastal waters. The prediction and analysis about the dispersion process of the discharged fresh water should be conducted. A modeling system using GUI was developed to simulate hydrodynamic flow and fresh water dispersion in coastal waters and to analyze the results efficiently. The modeling module of the system includes a tide model using a finite element method and a fresh water dispersion model using a particle-tracking method. This system was applied to predict the tidal currents and fresh water dispersion in Mokpo coastal zone. To verify accuracy of the hydrodynamic model, the simulation results were compared with observed sea level and time variations of tidal currents showing a good agreement. The fresh water dispersion was verified with observed salinity distribution. The dispersion model also was verified with analytic solutions with advection-diffusion problems in 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional simple domain. The system is operated on GUI environment, to ease the model handling such as inputting data and displaying results. Therefore, anyone can use the system conveniently and observe easily and accurately the simulation results by using graphic functions included in the system. This system can be used widely to decrease the environmental disaster induced by inflow of fresh water into coastal waters.

In this study, sequential mixing model (SMM) was proposed based on the Taylor's theory which can be summarized as the fact that longitudinal advection and transverse diffusion occur independently and then the balance between the longitudinal shear and transverse mixing maintains. The numerical simulation of the model were performed for cases of different mixing time and transverse velocity distribution, and the results were compared with the solutions of 1-D longitudinal dispersion model (1-D LDM) and 2-D advection-dispersion model (2-D ADM). As a result it was confirmed that SMM embodies the Taylor's theory well. By the comparison between SMM and 2-D ADM, the relationship between the mixing time and the transverse diffusion coefficient was evaluated, and thus SMM can integrate 2-D ADM model as well as 1-D LDM model and be an explanatory model which can represents the shear flow dispersion in a visible way. In this study, the predicting equation of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient was developed by fitting the simulation results of SMM to the solution of 1-D LDM. The verification of the proposed equation was performed by the application to the 38 sets of field data. The proposed equation can predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficient within reliable accuracy, especially for the river with small width-to-depth ratio.

In this study, a numerical simulation technique for coastal area where wave and current interactions are observed is proposed. Considering the spatial scale of coastal area and the coastal processes such as wave, current, shoaling, wave breaking, and inundation processes, boussinesq equation model is used. A depth-integrated transport model based on the consistent assumption with the boussinesq equation model is used for the prediction of solute transport. To solve the equations, finite volume method with an approximate riemann solver is used. The proposed model is applied to a coastal area and reasonable computational results are obtained.

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.

Numerical analysis of convection-dominated transport problems are challenging because of dual characteristics of the governing equation. In the finite element method, a strategy is to modify the test function to weight more in the upwind direction. This is called as the Petrov-Galerkin method. In this paper, both N+1 and N+2 Petrov-Galerkin methods are applied to transport problems at high grid Peclet number. Frequency fitting algorithm is used to obtain optimal levels of N+2 upwinding, and the results are discussed. Also, a new Petrov-Galerkin method, named as "Optimal Test Function Petrov-Galerkin Method," is proposed in this paper. The test function of this numerical method changes its shape depending upon relative strength of the convection to the diffusion. A numerical experiment is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

This study developed the Time-split Mixing Model (TMM) which can represent the pollutant mixing process on a three-dimensional open channel through constructing the conceptual model based on Taylor's assumption (1954) that the shear flow dispersion is the result of combination of shear advection and diffusion by turbulence. The developed model splits the 2-D mixing process into longitudinal mixing and transverse mixing, and it represents the 2-D advection-dispersion by the repetitive calculation of concentration separation by the vertical non-uniformity of flow velocity and then vertical mixing by turbulent diffusion sequentially. The simulation results indicated that the proposed model explains the effect of concentration overlapping by boundary walls, and the simulated concentration was in good agreement with the analytical solution of the 2-D advection-dispersion equation in Taylor period (Chatwin, 1970). The proposed model could explain the correlation between hydraulic factors and the dispersion coefficient to provide the physical insight about the dispersion behavior. The longitudinal dispersion coefficient calculated by the TMM varied with the mixing time unlike the constant value suggested by Elder (1959), whereas the transverse dispersion coefficient was similar with the coefficient evaluated by experiments of Sayre and Chang (1968), Fischer et al. (1979).

본 연구에서는 하천에 유입되는 오염물질 중 대부분을 차지하는 비보존성 오염물질의 확산거동을 예측하기 위해 2차원 수심평균된 이송분산방정식에 유한요소모형을 적용하였다. 수치모형 구성을 위해 Galerkin법을 이용한 가중잔차법을 사용하였으며, 복잡한 하천경계를 보다 정확히 재현할 수 있도록 삼각 및 사각요소망의 혼용이 가능하도록 하였다. 모의대상 수질인자는 BOD, DO, 질소화합물, 인화합물, 수온, pH 및 대장균군수이며, 이 가운데 BOD와 DO는 상호 쌍을 이루는 방정식을 풀어야 하는 특수한 형태이므로 별도로 취급하였다. 순간주입 및 연속주입에 의한 비보존성 오염물질의 확산거동을 모의하였으며, 시간에 따른 민감도를 분석하기 위해 보존성 오염물질의 확산거동과 비교하였다. 해석해를 이용해 순간주입된 오염물질의 오염운을 구하는 식을 유도하고 해석해와 본 연구에서 개발한 수치모형에 의한 수치해를 비교하였다.
