Nakdong River was recently dredged with multi-functional weirs construction. Therefore, the depth was deepened and the lag time also increased. As a result, stratification occurred in some sections with deep water depth, and it also caused the increase of algal bloom phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate reproducibility of stratification in the Nakdong River by applying the EFDC model, which is a three-dimensional hydraulic and water quality analysis model proving the reproducibility of stratification phenomena in reservoirs and estuaries. In order to reproduce the Nakdong river water temperature and DO stratification, EFDC model was constructed in the downstream part of the Nakdong river and sensitivity analysis was performed on key parameters sensitive to stratification. Sensitivity analysis was used to reproduce stratification by selecting optimal parameters. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the analysis of various destratification scenarios.

This study reports the serial use of a 3-D hydrodynamic model, EFDC-Hydro and a dynamic water quality model WASP7.2 that are maintained by USEPA. The 48 km section of the Geum River downstream between Daechung Dam and Gongju was selected as a sample study site. Topographical information was used to accurately represent morphology of the study site and boundary conditions were derived from governmental databases including WAMIS by Ministry of Land and Ocean and WEIS by Ministry of Environment. EFDC-Hydro was successfully calibrated for observed water level and WASP was calibrated using monthly observed water quality data obtained from the above sources. It was found that the current water quality target of BOD for the Geum River-H point could not be met on monthly basis though every other tributary of the area would meet its own water quality target as assigned in Korean TMDL. This study proposed the new target BOD water quality for the Gabcheon and Mihocheon as 4.3 and 3.6 mg/l, respectively so that the Geum River-H point can meet the target. When Sejong City is constructed, it is estimated that effluent discharge limit of BOD must be less than 4.5 mg/l to meet water quality of the point. This study shows that it is possible to carry out more precise modeling considering both water movement and water kinetics by using EFDC and WASP simultaneously.

In this study, a methodology was devised to overcome that difficulty for thermal stratification modeling using EFDC. For the increase of reproductability for thermal stratification analysis, the effect of parameter such as distribution of solar radiation, depth of active bed temperature layer, heat transfer coefficients were analyzed. The simulation period was from June to December in 2005 and statistical index is used to analyze the model results. The results showed that distribution of solar radiation is zero and depth of active bed temperature layer is 10 m are suitable for simulation of thermal stratification in Yongdam Dam reservoir. This study results can be used for guideline to analyze the thermal stratification of large dam reservoir in Korea.

하천에서 수공구조물을 설계시 구조물의 규모, 형식, 운영방식, 안정성 등을 검토하기 위하여 일반적으로 수리모형실험과 수치모형실험을 이용한다. 수리모형실험은 자연현상의 왜곡을 최소화하여 검토결과를 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 많은 시간과 비용, 인력 및 공간이 필요하기 때문에 단기간에 다양한 검토가 필요한 경우에는 많은 제약이 따른다. 반면에 수치모형실험은 제한적인 조건에서 검토목적 및 용도에 따라 다양한 수치모의기법을 활용하여 상대적으로 낮은 비용과 신속하고 다양한 검토가 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 수치모형실험은 어디까지나 자연현상에 대한 수학적, 물리적 기법을 활용한 분석이기 때문에 결과에 대한 신뢰성 확보가 매우 중요하다. 최근에는 컴퓨터의 계산능력 향상과 유체의 복잡한 동수역학적 거동 해석 기법의 다양화, 그리고 많은 적용성 검토 연구결과로 인한 신뢰성 향상 등으로 인해 수치모형실험에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 현재 금강에 건설 중인 금강보에 대하여 다차원 수치모형인 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code)를 이용하여 하천 구조물 및 물리적 환경변화에 대한 정밀수리분석을 실시하기 위한 사전절차로, EFDC 모형을 하천수리해석에 적용할 경우 모형에 포함되어 있는 다양한 변수설정 및 제약조건들에 대하여 적용한계를 검토하고자 한다. 검토방법은 금강보가 건설되기 이전의 하천지형 상황에서 EFDC 모형과 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용한 수리분석을 수행하고, 수리거동 결과 들을 상호 비교 분석 한다. 수치모의 대상구간은 금강보 건설구간을 포함하여 약 20km 구간이고, 대상구간에 대하여 3차원 정밀지형자료를 구축하였으며, 과거 호우사상에 대한 구간 내 관측 수위 및 모형별 계산수위결과를 비교 검토하였다.

This study aims to test the feasibility of combined use of EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) hydrodynamic model and WASP7.3 (Water Quality Analysis Program) model to improve accuracy of water quality predictions of the Yongdam Lake, Korea. The orthogonal curvilinear grid system was used for EFDC model to represent riverine shape of the study area. Relationship between volume, surface and elevation results were checked to verify if the grid system represents morphology of the lake properly. Monthly average boundary water quality conditions were estimated using the monthly monitored water quality data from Korean Ministry of Environment DB system. Monthly tributary flow rates were back-routed using dam discharge data and allocated in proportion to each basin area as direct measurements were not available. The optimum number of grid system was determined to be 372 horizontal cells and 10 vertical layers of the site for 1 year simulation of hydrodynamics and water quality out of iterative trials. Monthly observed BOD, TN, TP and Chl-a concentrations inside the lake were used for calibration of WASP7.3 model. This study shows that EFDC and WASP can be used in series successfully to improve accuracy in water quality modeling. However, it was observed that the amount of data to develop inflow water quality and flow rate boundary conditions and water quality data inside lake for calibration were not enough for accurate modeling. It is suggested that object-oriented data collection systems would be necessary to ensure accuracy of EFDC-WASP model application and thus for efficient lake water quality management strategy development.

The downstream of the Nam River Dam is crucial region for long-term water resource planning for Busan and Gyeongnam Province. Thus, the analysis of flow behavior and water quality is necessary for the sustainable surface water management and the control of pollutant source. In this study, the flow field and BOD transport at the downstream of Nam River Dam were analyzed by incorporating 2-D water quality model, RAM4 and 3-D water quality model, WASP with the hydrodynamic model, RAM2 and EFDC, respectively. The application of 2-D flow analysis model, RAM2 showed that velocity distributions at the five transverse sections of the meandering part closely followed the measured values by ADCP, and the flow field and overflow characteristic at the submerged weir showed satisfactory performance compared with the result of 3-D EFDC model. In addition, the BOD concentration field obtained by RAM2-RAM4 coupled modeling was in good agreement with the result by EFDC-WASP model throughout the computational domain. The hydrodynamic characteristic and water quality at the downstream reach of Nam River Dam are mainly influenced by the Dam discharge, and the water quantity is closely related to the water quality control and fishery environment at the lower part of Nakdong River. Therefore, when further quantitative analysis is necessary regarding these issues, 2-D semi-coupled modeling is recommended in terms of computational effectiveness and model application aspect.

In this paper, observed water quality, algal blooms and flow rates in the Yeongsan River and its boundaries including 8 tributaries and 2 wastewater treatment plants for two years of 2018-2019 were analyzed. It seems effects of non-point source load inputs from basin areas to the river may be significant though the field data availability was limited. The EFDC model was calibrated against data collected from 6 water level monitoring stations and 6 water quality monitoring stations, respectively, in the study area. Water quality improvement scenarios were developed assuming 50% and 75% reductions of major pollution sources including treatment plants and tributaries. The developed scenarios were applied to the EFDC model to estimate effects on algal bloom occurrences in the Seungchon weir and Juksan weir. Improvement of the effluent of Gwangju 1 WWTP by 75% did not show any effect on algal blooms for two weir locations. The major tributary affecting algal blooms in the Seungchon weir was the Hwangryong River. The Jisuk stream was found as the most important tributary for the Juksan weir followed by the effect of the Hwangryong River. Though it seems other scattered small nonpoint source load input to the Yeongsan river also seem to be important, it was not possible to reflect their effects appropriately due to field data availability.

Due to the increasing demand to utilize water fronts and water resource effectively, a multi-dimensional model that provides detailed hydraulic characteristics is required in order to improve the decision making process. An EFDC model is a kind of multi-dimension model, and it requires detailed 3D (3-dimensional) terrain in order to simulate the hydraulic characteristics of stream flow. In the case of 3D terrain creation, especially river reaches, measurement resolution and spatial interpolation methods affect the detailed 3D topography which uses input data for EFDC simulation. Such results make hydraulic characteristics to be varied. This study aims to examine EFDC simulation results depending on the 3D topographies derived by separate measurement resolution and spatial interpolation methods. The study area is at the confluence of the Nakdong and Kuemho Rivers and the event rain implemented was Typhoon Ewiniar in 2006. As a result, in the case of the area-elevation curve, the difference by means of the interpolation methods was significant when applying the same measurement resolution, except at 160m resolution. Furthermore, when the measurement resolution was 80m or above, the difference in a cross-section was occurred. Meanwhile, the water level changes between interpolation methods were insignificant by the measurement resolution except when the Kriging method was used for the 160m measurement data. Velocity changes emerged according to the interpolation methods when measurement resolution was 80m or above and the Kriging method resulted in a velocity that had a considerable gap in relation to the results from other methods at a measurement resolution of 160m.
