Recently. three-dimensional models have been used for aquatic dispersion of radioactive effluents in relation to nuclear power plant siting based on the Notice No. 2003-12 'Guideline for investigating and assessing hydrological and aquatic characteristics of nuclear facility site' of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) in Korea. Several nuclear power plants have been under construction or planed. which are Shin-Korl Unit 1 and 2, Shin-Wolsong Unit 1 and 2, and Shln-Ulchin Unit 1 and 2. For assessing the aquatic dispersion of radionuclides released from the above nuclear power plants, it is necessary to know the coastal currents around sites which are affected by circulation of East Sea. In this study, a three dimensional hydrodynamic model for the circulation of the East Sea of Korea has been developed as the first Phase, which Is based on the RIAMOM. The model uses the primitive equation with hydrostatic approximation, and uses Arakawa-B grid system horizontally and Z-coordinate vertically. Model domain is $126.5^{\circ}E\;to\;142.5^{\circ}E$ of east longitude and $33^{\circ}N\;and\;52^{\circ}N$ of the north latitude. The space of the horizontal grid was $1/12^{\circ}$ to longitude and latitude direction and vortical level was divided to 20. This model uses Generalized Arakawa Scheme. Slant Advection, and Mode-Splitting Method. The input data were from JODC, KNFRDI, and ECMWF. The model ing results are in fairly good agreement with schematic patterns of the surface circulation in the East Sea The local current model and aquatic dispersion model of the coastal region will be developed as the second phase. The oceanic dispersion experiments will be also tarried out by using ARGO Drifter around a nuclear pelter plant site.

This paper is concerned with the development of a three-dimensional numerical model for coastal circulation and heat transport with improved prediction ability. The model uses fully nonlinear, time-dependent three-dimensional, $\sigma$-transformed equations of motion and equation of heat transport The model was verified with experimental data for wind-driven current in a one-dimensional channel and thermal jets flowing into stagnant waters and applied for unsteady flow induced by tide and thermal jets in coastal waters around Kori nuclear power plant. The model results were in good agreements with experimental data sets for wind-driven current and thermal jet, and field observed data sets in coastal waters. This study has shown that the $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model is applicable to various coastal conditions without any modification of turbulence constants.

The location and the shape of freshwater-saltwater transition zones in coastal aquifers are affected by many hydraulic variables. To date most work to determine the effects of these variables are limited to qualitative comparison of transition zones. In this work characteristics of transition zones (maximum intrusion length, thickness, and degree of stratification) are quantified, and effects of principal hydraulic variables(velocity and dispersivity) on these characteristics are studied using a numerical model. Dimensional analysis is used to assemble entire model results. Effects of velocity and dispersivity are seen clearly. From this study, increase in velocity is found to cause shrinkage of transition zones. This observation contradicts claims by some that, because dispersion is proportional to velocity, increase in velocity would cause expansion of transition zones.

Sea water volume intruded from the lock gated was compted by a one-dimensional numerical model and the extent of diffusion of sea water was evaluated for that. The volume of intruded sea water, in the exchange processes of salt and fresh waters, was computed by the conceptual model considering the tidal level, volume of chamber, volume of canal, and operation period only, It was divided into some cases according to whether ships enter or leave the canal and whether the level of tide is lower or higher than that of water level in canal. The model, developed in this work, assumed that intruded sea water is well mixed in the canal; and complete is the exchange of waters between sea and canal. The simulation case was divided into two categories according to whether the water was added from the Han River or not.

연안해역에서의 흐름은 조석에 의한 주기적인 해수면의 승강작용에 의한 조류, 바람에 의해 발생되는 수면 마찰력에 의한 풍성류(wind-driven flow), 밀도가 다른 하천수 등의 유입에 의한 밀도류 등에 의하여 발생한다. 대부분의 자연수괴에서의 실제 흐름은 이러한 흐름들이 단독으로 발생하는 것이 아니라 동시에 발생하는 복합류(combined flow)이다 따라서, 연안해역에서의 오염물질의 이동ㆍ확산은 이러한 복합류에 의하여 발생하므로 복합류의 구조에 대한 정확한 이해, 평가 및 예측은 연안수의 순환 및 오염물질의 확산에 관한 자연현상을 정확히 이해하는데 있어서 반드시 필요하다.

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.

EFDC model was applied to reproduce velocity fields and to evaluate the dispersion characteristics of suspended sediments (SS) around a Daesan port. Numerical results using two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of EFDC showed good agreements through comparison with the time series and harmonic analysis of the tidal elevations. The dispersion patterns of the suspended sediments using the calculated velocity fields were calculated to move from east to northeast direction in flood tide and from west to southwest in ebb tide for dredging of sea route, respectively. Also, the suspended sediments were widely dispersed into the front areas of a Daesan port, Nanji-do and Garorim bay in the long-term. Therefore, it was inferred that the environmental problems for sea pollution would be occurred seriously if the dredging for sea route would be continued in the long-term.
