사질 퇴적물로 구성된 해저면은 모래결( ripple)을 이루고 있는 경우가 많으며 이는 흐름 또는 파랑상태가 변화하는데 따라 쉽게 변화한다. 모래결은 해수의 움직임에 영향을 받아 자연적으로 형성되는 저면의 굴곡이지만, 모래결의 크기가 역으로 해수의 거동에 상당한 영향을 미치므로 모래결과 해수흐름의 상호간섭 현상은 많은 관심을 끌어 왔다. (중략)

Existing theories and experimental results on mud bed consolidation, fluidization and erosion are briefly reviewed. The importance of the history of bed shear strength profile which experiences periodic and random consolidation and fluidization is qualitatively discussed by reanalyzing a field data set in Youngkwang area of Korea. According to the results of existing laboratory experiments and the reanalyzing, the numerical modelling of mud or pollutant transport without considering consolidation and fluidization may cause the time lag between the hydrodynamic forcing and the increment of sediment and bed-originated pollutant concentrations in water column. The time lag can derive serious error in the transport direction, consequently in the budget of a heavy-concentrated bottom-originated substance, especially in macrotidal environments with relatively high wave energy.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the erosional properties for cohesive sediment from Saemankeum artificial lake. A series of erosion tests were conducted with Chonbuk annular flume, which is the first one constructed in this country and verified with validities. Each erosion tests were conducted under a uniform bed condition but a different bed density respectively, and its critical shear stress for erosion(${\tau}_{ce}$) as well as the erosion rate coefficient (${\varepsilon}_M$) were determined quantitatively. Since the erosional properties of the cohesive sediments vary largely depending in the physico-chemical properties, such properties of Saemankeum sediments were also estimated and their effects on the erosional properties were analyzed. For Saemankeum sediments, it can be seen that ${\tau}_{ce}$ increases from $0.26N/m^2$ to $0.52N/m^2$ and ${\varepsilon}_M$ decreases exponentially from $14.28mg/cm^2\;hr$ to $6.02mg/cm^2\;hr$, as the bed density varies from $1.17g/cm^3$ to $1.34g/cm^3$. The erosional parameters of Saemankeum sediments are found to be remarkably different in quantity as compared with those for cohesive sediments from other sites. Particularly, ${\tau}_{ce}$ for Saemankeum sediments is known to be larger than that of Kunsan sediments but similar with that of Shihwa sediments, while ${\varepsilon}_M$ for Saemankeum sediments is shown to be smaller than that for Kunsan sediments.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the settling and erosional properties for cohesive sediments in Shihwa lake. Settling tests are conducted by multi-depth method using a specially designed 1.8 m tall settling column, and erosion tests are conducted with annular flume under the uniform bed condition. As result of settling tests, it is confirmed that the settling velocity of the cohesive sediments has the range of $0.002 for suspended sediments concentration of 0.1$0.19{\sim}0.55N/m^{2}$ for bed shear stress of $1.14{\sim}1.32g/cm^{3}$, and the erosion rate coefficient decreases with logarithmic function in a range of $18.4{\sim}3.9mg/cm^{2}{\cdot}hr$ with increase of bed shear stress.

환형수조는 점착성 퇴적물의 침/퇴적실험을 위한 실험장치로서, 수조내부의 수면과 접하여 회전하는 상부링(top ring)의 마찰력에 의해 흐름이 생성되며, 시간의 제약없이 흐름조건을 동일하게 만들 수 있다는 큰 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 환형수조는 원주유속의 속도차이 및 원심력으로 인한 2차 순환류가 형성되어 바닥전단응력이 불균일해지는 단점을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 이유로 인하여 환형수조를 이용한 침/퇴적실험 수행시 수조의 외벽부근에서 더 큰 침식이 발생한다. 따라서, 2차 순환류의 발생을 줄이고 바닥전단응력의 분포를 균등하게 하기 위해 양방향 회전(환형수조의 몸체를 상부링의 회전방향과 반대방향으로 회전)이 가능한 환형수조가 고안되었는데, 이러한 방법으로 2차 순환류의 크기를 저감시키고, 바닥전단응력을 균일하게 만들 수 있다. 한편, 환형수조의 양방향 회전(counter-rotation)은 현장용 환형수조에는 적용될 수 없는 단점을 갖는다. 현장실험에서는 바닥면이 없는 현장용 환형수조를 해저면에 거치시켜 자연상태의 비교란 퇴적물 시료를 저면으로 형성시키는데, 바닥면이 존재하지 않는 환형수조 본체는 회전시킬 수 없으므로 양방향 회전을 통한 2차 순환류의 저감 및 바닥전단응력 균일화의 효과를 기대할 수 없다. 이러한 이유로 환형수조의 양방향 회전은 단지 실내실험용 환형수조에만 적용된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 환형수조 본체를 회전시키지 않고 수조의 측벽과 상부링의 각도 조절을 통해 수조단면의 형상을 변화시켜 2차 순환류를 저감시키고 바닥전단응력을 균등하게 하는 방법에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 방법은 본체의 회전이 필요 없으므로 현장용 환형수조에 적용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 실험장치의 구조가 단순해져 실험장치의 제작비가 절감될 수 있다. 또한 원주속도에 수직한 단면에서 속도구배가 감소되어 2차 순환류가 저감됨과 동시에 바닥전단응력이 균등하게 됨으로서 양방향 회전시와 동일한 효과가 얻어질 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In the past, the predictions of beach processes and harbor sedimentation were mainly relied on the hydraulic model tests and empirical methods. In recent years, however, as computers have come into wide use, more accurate models have gradually been developed and thus replaced those conventional methods. For prediction of topographical change near the coastal area, we need informations of wave and current conditions in the numerical model which should be calculated in advance. Numerical model introduced in this study combines wave refraction-diffraction, breaking, bottom friction, lateral mixing, and critical shear stress and three sub-models for simulating waves, currents, and bottom change were briefly discussed. Simulations of beach processes and harbor sedimentation were also described at the coast neighboring Bangpo Harbor, Anmyundo, Chungnam, where the area has suffered accumulation of drifting sand in a small fishing harbor with a wide tidal range. We also made model test for the new layout of the harbor and planned south breakwater for preventing intrusion of sand. Although the model study gave reasonable description of beach processes and harbor sedimentation mechanism, it is necessary to collect lots of field observation data, including waves, tides and bottom materials, etc. for better prediction.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the erosion parameters of cohesive sediments in Keum Estuary. This study also involves the examinations on the local/seasonal variation of them in Keum Estuary and on their spatial variation comparing with those of other sites. As erosional properties of cohesive sediments are in general influenced largely by the physico-chemical properties of cohesive sediments themselves, this study also involves the qualitative analyses on the impact by the physico-chemical properties. Erosion tests have been performed under the uniform bed condition using the Chonbuk annular flume and total 16 tests have been carried out with various bed densities and bottom shear stresses. Experimental results show that the critical shear stress for erosion varies in the range of $0.19{\sim}0.41N/m^2$ and the coefficient of erosion rate varies in the range of $54.26{\sim}7.70mg/cm^2{\cdot}hr$, over the corresponding bulk-density range of $1.14{\sim}1.38g/cm^3$. While erosion parameters estimated for Keum estuary sediments are found to be remarkably different in quantity compared with those for cohesive sediments from other sites, their local/seasonal variabilities within Keum Estuary are found to be insignificant.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively estimate the erosional properties for cohesive sediments on Keum Estuary. Then the spatial variation was evaluated, through analyzing and comparing the seasonal variation of the erosional properties in Keum Estuary with that of the erosional properties in the other sites. As erosional properties of cohesive sediments are also influenced largely by basic physico-chemical property of cohesive sediments themselves, the impact that the basic physico-chemical property has on the erosional properties is analyzed in this study. Erosional tests are performed under the condition of uniform beds. Total 8 times of tests using an annular flume are also conducted in a location, low times respectively by seasons: the fall, winter. Experimental results of erosional tests show that the critical shear stress for erosion varies in the range of $0.12{\sim}0.36N/m^2$ and the coefficient of erosion rate varies in the range of $120.91{\sim}6.72mg/cm^2{\cdot}hr$, over the corresponding bulk-density range $1.15{\sim}1.34g/cm^3$. Although the calculated parameters of erosional properties are remarkably different in quantity compared with those of other cohesive sediments(lake Okeechobee) and Kaolinite, their seasonal variabilities within Keum Estuary appear to be insignificant.

A series of experiments on the resuspension of deposited fine-grained sediments were carried out in a recirculating straight flume to investigate the influence of the sediment type, water content and bed shear stress (${\tau}_b$) on the resuspension characteristics of the sediments. The sediments were sampled from Youngkwang coast and Youngdo coast which are located in the western sea and southeastern sea of Korea, respectively. Critical bed shear stress (${\tau}_c$) for resuspension was deduced for each experimental series. For the same sediment, critical bed shear stress for resuspension decreased but suspension mass or rate increased with increasing water content. The resuspension of deposited fine-grained sediments depended strongly on the water content, and the sediment type characterizing the inter-particle bond strength. It has been found that critical bed shear stress for resuspension in the unidirection flow is about 4 times higher than that in the combined wave-current flow, In case of lower bed shear stress, after an initially high suspension, suspension mass approaches a constant value due to the bed hardening with increasing time, but in case of higher bed shear stress, suspension mass increased successively due to the bed softening with time. Initial suspension rate, $E={\alpha}_3({\tau}_b/{\tau}_c-1)^{\beta}$ (where ${\alpha}_3$ and ${\beta}$=empirical constants), was estimated for each experimental series, ${\alpha}_3$ and ${\beta}$ values for the same sediment increased with water content.

본 연구에서는 3차원 수치모의를 통하여 횡방향 하상형상 및 격자형 이차흐름 구조의 생성 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 곡선좌표계에서의 지배방정식을 구성하고, 난류 폐합을 위해 Speziale(1987)가 제안한 비등방성 k-$\varepsilon$모형을 이용하였다. 또한 Exner 방정식을 이용하여 시간에 따른 하상변동을 예측하였다. 그 결과 바닥과 측벽 사이에서 발생되는 바닥 이차흐름의 하향류에 의해 측벽 부근부터 하상이 침식되고, 침식된 유사량은 이차흐름의 횡방향 유속에 의해 이동되어 퇴적되어, 결국 횡방향으로 연속적인 언덕 및 저면과 같인 하상형상이 생성되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시간에 따른 이차흐름 및 바닥 전단력, 하상고의 변화에 대해 살펴보았다.
