The numerous investments have been introduced to design and assess mixing zone characteristics of wastewater discharges to the ocean. Specially It strive to meet water quality standard for persistent and bio-accumulative chemical contaminants at the point of discharge through continual improvement pollution prevention measures and other voluntary measures in the developed country. The goals that of this paper are to emphasize the regulatory mixing zone is defined as an allocated impact zone where the numeric water quality criteria may be exceeded as long as acutely toxic conditions are prevent. Furthermore, mixing zones be limited to an area or volume as small as practicable that with not interfere with the designated uses or the established community of aquatic life in the segment for which the uses are designated and the shape be a simple configuration that is easy to locate in the body of water and avoids impingement on biologically important areas and the shore hugging plumes should be avoided This results should be used with caution in evaluation the mixing zone characteristics of a discharge and only in conjunction with information from the effective marine outfall design as well as for the sound harbour design. Thus the numerical investigation using CORMIX has been performed to show the regulatory mixing zone in the near and far field of the marine outfall.

Dispersion characteristics of surface discharge heat water in shallow region are investigated for coastal power plant with nearly constant depth of 20 meters by observing the seasonal depthwide temperature in several stations, which give or precise horizontal distribution and vertical structure of heat water. Surface discharged heat water in shallow coast in the Yellow Sea relies mainly on ambient tidal flow. so it behaves as free jet when the ambient now is strong and shows plumelike behavior during stagnant tide. According to observation the neat field region is estimated as 200-300 meters and shows distinct vertical profile and exponentially decreasing pattern from discharge point for this region. But there are no remarkable vertical distortion of temperature beyond 800 meters even though it is discharged from surface. Characteristic length scale model, CORMIX3, is applied and compared with the field date Overall tendency of CORMIX3 results resemble well with field data especially in near field and intermediate region.

In this paper, we have studied the seasonal vanatIons of near-field dilutions of wastewater discharged from the submerged mutiport-diffuser in Masan Bay. Seasonal changes of temperature and salinity, and tidal currents were measured at 16 stations in Masan Bay. Based on the observed ambient field data, the seasonal changes of near-field dilutions due to ambient current and density fields were calculated by CORMIX model. Because of the shallow ambient water depth of 15 m, the density profiles are isopycnal in autumn and winter seasons, in which the dilution factors were the highest, 168 with the strong spring-tidal current and 110-120 with the weak neap-tidal current. As the season changes from spring to summer, the dilution factors are considerably reduced by the factor of 2 as the thermocline is getting deepened up to Sm in depth in summer. In the case of a weak ambient current, the dilution factor in summer was reduced to 1/4 of the dilution in winter. However, with strong ambient current the difference between summer and winter dilutions becomes relatively small by 30%. The results indicate that the seasonal variation of near-field dilution is very large up to 4 times with a weak neap-tidal current, but its variations become small under a strong ambient current of spring tide in MasanBay.

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.

Field and laboratory studies of the near field behavior of the San Francisco ocean outfall were reported. The data sets cover broad ranges of discharge conditions and oceanic conditions, and are associated with a typical type of outfall discharges with multiport diffusers. The laboratory data sets were obtained in density-stratified towing tanks to replicate the field tests. Model studies of wastefield behavior using these data sets were predicted by the mathematical models UM, UDKHDEN, RSB, and CORMIX2 for minimum dilution, the height to top of wastefield, and wastefield thickness. In this paper, the results are discussed and compared measurements with mathematical model predictions. The hydraulic model studies reproduced the major features observed in the field. It also afforded considerable insight into the mechanics of mixing of multiport risers which could have been obtained neither from the field test nor the mathematical models.

기후변화는 더 이상 피할 수 없는 매우 중요한 문제다. 온실가스 중 큰 비중을 차지하는 이산화탄소 배출을 억제하거나 제거하기 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 CCS 중 하나인 지중저장(underground storage)의 대안으로 해양에 이산화탄소를 저장하는 기술인 AWL(Accelerated Weathering of Limestone)을 이용한 해양저장(ocean storage)에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. AWL은 이산화탄소를 중탄산이온 형태의 농축수로 만들어 해양에 방류하여 희석 저장시키는 방법으로, 대기 중 재방출이 거의 발생하지 않고 배출된 농축수는 해양의 알칼리도를 높여 해양산성화를 방지할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 금회 연구는 AWL에 의한 방법 중 중탄산이온 농축수의 해양방류 시 이산화탄소 등을 포함하는 용존 무기탄소(DIC, Dissolved Inorganic Carbon)의 거동특성을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 연구대상 해역은 충분한 수심과 작업효율성이 확보되는 울릉도 부근으로 설정하였으며, 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 표층방류(surface discharge)와 수중방류(submerged discharge)에 의한 물질확산을 계산할 수 있는 CORMIX모형을 채택하였다. 실험결과, 방류 시점으로부터의 희석률을 고려했을 때, 표층방류 시나리오가 농축수 방류에 가장 적합한 방식이라고 사료된다.

Efforts are concentrated onto effective simulation of surface discharged heat water in two-dimensional depth-averaged finite element model using Gaussian puff algorithm incorporating near-field characteristics as patches computed from CORMIX3 with ambient flow variations. Concise analyses of horizontal and vertical temperature distributions are made for real coastal power plant discharges through four field observations and the results from this proposed method are in good agreements with observations in far-field as well as near-field. Thus, this method can simulate the heat dispersion effectively for the whole region since the complex jet momentum characteristics and ambient flows are easily represented in 10 meters of finite element discretization around a discharging point.

본 실험에서는 부력 조건이 달라질 때 단공방류구에서 정체수역으로 수평방류되는 부력제트의 거동을 규명하였다. LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) 시스템을 이용하여 수행하였는데, LIF 시스템은 고해상도의 이미지를 취득할 수 있어 데이터의 정확도가 높으며, 동시에 한 평면상의 농도장을 일시에 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있는 기술이다. LIF 시스템은 크게 세부분으로 구성되어 있는데 방출시스템, 포착시스템, 처리시스템이 그것이다. 실험 조건을 고려해서 온수를 이용하여 주변수와의 밀도차를 재현하였으며, LIF 시스템의 추적입자로 형광염료 Rhodamine B를 사용하였다. 또한, 실험 데이터 취득과정에서 필요한 검정과정을 수행하였는데, LIF 시스템에서 검정과정은 레이저 입사광의 강도가 불균등한 분포를 가지는 점과 주변수의 매질에 의한 근의 감쇠가 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위한 것이다. LIF 시스템은 부력제트의 농도장을 매우 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는데, 방류밀도 Froude 수가 변함에 따라 측정된 순간이미지를 통해 제트의 진화과정을 상세하고 가시적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 검정과정을 거친 농도 종단면에서 중심선의 연장선이 LIF 시스템에 의해 측정된 순간이미지의 중심선 궤적과 거의 일치하는 것도 알 수 있었다. 또한 LIF 시스템을 통해서 취득된 단일수평부력제트의 궤적과 중심선 희석률을 기존의 상용모형인 VISJET과 CORMIX1에 의해 예측된 결과와 비교$\cdot$분석한 결과, 제트 중심선 궤적의 경우, LIF 시스템을 이용한 측정값은 대체로 VISJET 모형의 결과와 일치하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 중심선 희석률의 경우, LIF 측정값은 대체로 CORMIX1 모형, Cederwall(1968)의 경험식과 일치하는 경향을 보였다.0\%$일 때가 밸브를 $60\%$와 $80\%$ 개폐시켰을 때보다 $0.3kg/cm^2,\;0.29kg/cm^2$ 낮게 나타나 밸브를 전체 개방 했을 때 관로내의 수압이 상수설계기준에 적합한 수압을 유지함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.8R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\%)}$로 나타났다.천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심각한 선천성 심질환이다. 그러나 진단 즉시 직접 좌관상동맥-대동맥 이식술로 수술적 교정을 해줌으로써 좋은 성적을 기대할 수 있음을 보여주었다.특히

There has been a growing interest in the elimination of anoxic layer in the Youngsan River Estuarybecause the anoxic water mass caused mainly by the inflow of fresh water from the sea wall might cause the mass reduction of benthos during summer. An ocean outfall system to discharge treated wastewater into sea water may be used as one of the effective and economical ways to eliminate the anoxic layer. The suitable ocean outfall design is generally proposed for the prediction of the buoyant jet behavior in the near field. The parameters including CTD and current data are taken into account f3r more reliable buoyant jet behavior calculation. One of the numerical models, CORMIX 1, approved by EPA is used herein for the prediction of the trajectorial variation of the cross-sectional salinity and DO concentration distribution on the calculated buoyant jet boundary according to the tidal periods. On the basis of the results, it is suggested that the single port outfall is a useful system to eliminate the anoxic layer. Proper strategies are also proposed for achieving desirable ambient conditions.
