Tidal power generation plays a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It uses a tidal force generated by gravitational force between the moon, the earth, and the sun. The change of seawater height generates the tide-generating force, and the magnitude of the change is the tide level. The tide level change has the same period as the tide-generating force twice a day, every 29.5 days, every year, and every 18.6 years. Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station is Korea's first tidal power plant that began commercial power generation in August 2011 and has been accumulating a large volume of data on electricity production, power generation sales, sluice displacement, and tide levels. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the impact of the inefficiency factors affecting production and the tidal level change on tidal power generation and their characteristics using Sihwa Lake Tidal Power's operational performance data. Throughout this paper we show that tidal power generating operation is accurately predicting the trends of magnitude of tidal force to be periodical for each day. determining the drop to initiate the water turbine generator factoring the constraints on the operation of Sihwa Lake, and reflecting the water discharge through the floodgate and water turbine during the standby mode in the power generation plan to be in the optimal condition until the initiation of the next power generation can maximize power generation.

This paper described the results of the characteristics of the near-bottom flow and field analysis of the tidal flats sediment. It was the aim of this paper to grasp current flow of tidal flat's environment and influence factor for environmental change forecast of tidal flats. Field measurement of water velocity, water elevation, bed materials test, and temperature distribution of tidal flat were conducted. Thereafter, current flow, turbidity and temperature distribution of tidal flat sediment have been discussed. The field research results showed that the fluctuating velocity near the seabed before and after its appearance at low tide was strongly affected by the wind wave. The resuspension of the sea-bottom sediment took place with great intensity before and after the appearance of the seabed at low tide. Both the sea water level and the weather condition were a significant influential factors. Such as, temperature and turbidity just on the surface and the shallow layer of seabed sediments were varied largely with time and weather conditions, but that its deeper layers was almost constant. Temperature on the seabed sediments was strongly influenced by irradiance and water depth. The temperature variation of the tidal flat and the variation characteristics of the current flow and turbidity depend greatly on the inhabiting environment of the tidal flat benthic organism.

Numerical Analysis for exchanging seawater experiment is carried out in Do-Jang fish port. The change of tidal velocity and water level is derived by the two-dimensional nonlinear shallow-water numerical model. To calculate exchange rate of seawater with the change of tidal velocity and water level, a two-dimensional numerical model is employed which governing equations are Fokker-Plank equations. The calculated exchange rates of each time are described in tables and figures.

Seapage condition by sea water may appears on sea dike due to the gap of tidal, which generated by the sealevel repeatedly moves up and down result of the change of tidal level. In this study, apparatus was developed to apply similitude after setting the critical section. It was found that the soil loss was dramatically increased by increasing hydraulic gradient step by step. Also, to understand the change of seadike which considered the changes of the change of tidal level and inside sealevel, it was executed the experiments which divided the sea level condition of inside by continually changes the sealevel difference which is outside of the high tide and ebb tide.

이산화탄소의 배출 증가와 지구온난화, 엘리뇨 현상, 라니냐 현상 등과 같은 이상기후 현상의 발생빈도 증가로 인하여 전 세계적으로 내륙과 해안의 온도가 상승하고 있다. 지구온난화로 인한 바닷물의 열팽창 그리고 빙하의 해빙 등으로 인한 지구의 해수면은 매년 2.0mm/yr(전 세계 평균값)의 속도로 상승하고 있다. 그러나 해안에 인접한 수리구조물 혹은 해안 수리구조물을 설계할 시 기준이 되는 설계조위는 과거 관측된 조위 값으로부터 4대 분조 및 조화상수를 분석하거나 수치모형 실험에 의해 결정된다. 따라서, 설계조위는 구조물의 설계빈도에 상응하는 해수면의 상승속도를 감안해야 할 필요가 있다고 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 국립해양조사원(Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Administration; KHOA)에서 운영하고 있는 46개소의 조위관측소를 대상으로 관측개시일부터 2015년까지 시단위로 조위자료를 수집하였다. 우리나라를 크게 남해동부, 남해서부, 동해남부, 동해중부, 서해남부, 서해중부, 제주로 총 7개의 해역으로 구분하여 월별, 연별 변동추이 및 연평균 상승률 분석을 수행하였다. 향후 국지적 해수면상승의 원인규명 및 설계조위 고려 시 기초자료로 활용가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

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 from accumulation of drifting sand in a small fishing harbor with a wide tidal range. We also made model test for the case of a narrow tidal range at Nakdong river's estuary area to understand the effect of water level variation on the littoral drift. Simulations are conducted in terms of incident wave direction and tidal level. Characteristics of wave transformation, nearshore current, sediment transport, and bottom change are shown and analyzed. We found from the simulation that the tidal level impact to the sediment transport is very important and we should apply the numerical model with different water level to analyze sediment transport mechanism correctly. 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.

최근water front나 자연형 하천의 개발이 많아지는 가운데 해안에 인접한 하천설계에 있어 일반적으로 기점 홍수위가 만조 시 수위보다 높게 계산되면 조석의 영향을 고려하지 않고 기점 홍수위만으로 수리해석을 하는 경우가 대부분이다. 그러나 본 연구는 기점 홍수위가 만조 시 수위 보다 높더라도 밀려오는 조류의 영향으로 하천 기점 홍수위의 변화를 야기시킬 수 있을 것이라 판단하여 부산의 지방하천인 온천천이 조석현상에 의해 어떤 흐름의 변화가 발생하는지를 Delft-3D를 이용하여 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과 하류 경계조건에 조석영향을 고려하였을 경우 하천의 일정범위까지 수위가 조석의 주기성을 나타내었고 하천 상류방향으로 수위 변동범위가 확대되었다.

The change of water level at Mokpo Harbour and its adjacent coastal area due to the construction of the Youngsan Estuary Barrage and the Third Land Reclamation Work of estuary barren had been roughly expected. Periodical floods, which occur 2 times per month, are also being observed at the low lying commercial areas near the Mokpo Old Harbor. Although it is said that the highest tidal current component among the tidal current records at the approaching channel to Mokpo Harbor is reduced to 6 kts, because of the esturary barrage, they do not give any precise statement or a deep analysis for the flooding and periodical water level change under certain environmental conditions. Moreover, they never tried the analysis of development plan considering the natural disaster such as typhoon or other extreme conditions. Thus, it is necessary to collect and analyze the data related to floodings, harbor oscillations, currents, and water quality , etc. because of the development considering the extreme condition. Thus, it is necessary to collect and analyze the data related to floodings, harbor oscillations, currents, and water quality, etc. because of the development considering the extreme condition and to evaluate the field observation and measurement, including the numerical model simulation based on the scientific approaches. This study deals the problem of the water level change among the integrated analyses of the coastal area changes. The result can be used for the integrated planning to give a strong foundation and it will contribute to the development of local area.

The architecture of macrofaunal burrows and the total area of the sediment-water interface created by biogenic structure were investigated in the Donggeomdo tidal flat on the west coast of Korea. Resin casting methods were applied to recover burrows of four dominant species, Macrophthalmus japonicus, Cleistostoma dilatatum, Perinereis aibuhitensis, and Periserrula leucophryna, and whole burrows within the casting area at three sites in different tidal levels. P. leucophryna excavated the largest burrow in terms of a surface area among them. In the case of whole burrow casting, the space occupied by the biogenic structure was extended into deeper and expanded more greatly at the higher tidal level. In the uppermost flat, the burrow wall surface area within sediment was more extensive than the sediment surface area. Increased oxygen supply through the extended interface could enhance the degradation rates of organic carbon and also change the pathways of degradation. Quantifying the relationship between the extended interface and mineralization rate and pathway requires more extensive study.

일반적으로 해수위 변동은 조석, 기상, 수온, 염분, 파랑, 지형 등 다양한 요인에 의해 영향을 받는다. 비조석 외력 조건 중 대기압 변화는 수위 변화를 유발하는 큰 요인 중 하나이다. 수위 변동을 예측함에 있어 서해와 달리 조차가 작은 동해 연안은 조석 성분만을 외력 조건으로 고려하여 관측 수위를 재현하기는 현실적으로 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 동해 연안의 수위 예측 및 재현 시 대기압의 시간적 변화가 수위의 변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하고자 Telemac-2D 모형에 역기압 효과(IBE, Inverted Barometer Effect)를 반영하여 수치 모의를 실시하고 그 결과를 검토하였다. 역기압 효과와 조석을 동시에 반영한 예측 결과는 조석만을 반영한 예측결과보다 관측 자료와의 상관도가 크게 증가함으로 동해 연안 관측 수위의 수치 재현에 역기압 효과가 반드시 반영되어야함을 확인하였다.
