In coastal region, tidal harmonic constants of semi-diurnal tides and nonlinear tides were collected. The observed tide data of KHOA were analyzed by a tide harmonic analysis method. In the southwestern coasts and Han river estuary, nonlinear tides are clearly generated. The generation of tide non-linearity and tide asymmetry is closely related with tide form factor in Korean coastal zone. Tide non-linearity and asymmetry in Mokpo harbour have increased by a series of coastal development projects. The increase has caused rise of high water level and drop of low water level, and increase of tidal range. In Kunsan Outport, tidal range has been declined due to inter-annual change of nonlinear tides after completion of Samangeum sea-dyke.

In the southeast coastal zone of Yellow Sea, the tide characteristics showing ebb-dominant tide and tidal flow were confirmed by analysis of observed tide and tidal currents. Physical factors generating asymmetric tide were reviewed. Influence of bottom shear stress, tidal flat, and nonlinear terms in shallow water equations was investigated by two-dimensional tide modeling. The model results gave good agreements with observed tides, but the amplitude of simulated $M_4$ tide was less than that of observed tide. The tidal flats existing in the study area widely have great effect on the generation of nonlinear tide. The M4 tide is mainly generated near the tidal flats. The deletion of tidal flats prevents the production of the M4 tide. We can conclude that the wide tidal flats is a primary cause of tide asymmetry in the study area.

The TIDE, nonlinear finite element model for the simulation of tidal analysis in a shal- low ooastal area was tested for its applicability at the Saemankeum day. Calibration of the TIDE model has been carried out using the six observed field data collected at five locations within the region for tidal velocity. Verification tests have been done using the six observed field data and four data o- tained from the hydraulic model test for the tidal velocity and elevation. Since the simula- tion results for the tidal elevation at Kunsan outer port by the TIDE model are well agreed with the results from the tidal table for one month, it is proved that the TIDE model may be used effectively to predict the tidal movement in the Saemankeum bay for a longer period.

IIn this study, a wave-surge-tide coupling numerical model was developed to consider nonlinear interaction. Then, this model was applied and calculations were made for a storm surge on the southeast coast. The southeast coast was damaged by typhoon "Maemi" in 2003. In this study, we used a nearshore wind wave model called SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore). In addition, the Meyer model was used for the typhoon model, along with an ocean circulation model called POM (Princeton Ocean Model). The wave-surge-tide coupling numerical model could calculate exact parameters when each model was changed to consider the nonlinear interaction.

The influence of vertical eddy viscosity to the nonlinear interaction of tidal current and wind-induced current is examined using a point model. A zero-equation turbulence model is derived by simplifying the q$^2$-q$^2$1 turbulence model under the assumption that the generation of turbulence kinetic energy is balanced with its dissipation and is further modified to include the depth of frictional influence properly The zero-equation turbulence model is derived and the possibility of resonance in the presence of Coriolis effect is suggested. The amplitudes of tidal currents remain the same regardless of the applied wind stress, but the over-tide component is generated due to the nonlinear interaction of tidal current and wind-induced current. Significant changes in the vertical profile of wind-induced currents can occur according to tide-induced background turbulence. The turbulence model can give rise to misleading results when applied to the wind-driven circulation in the tide-dominated sea such as Yellow Sea unless the tide-induced background turbulence is adequately included in the parameterization of vertical eddy viscosity.

Effects of nonlinear terms on the generation of M$_2$ tide residual elevation and M$_4$ tide in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are investigated using a depth-integrated two-dimensional nonlinear M$_2$tidal model. The model domain (117$^{\circ}$E-130$^{\circ}$E, 24$^{\circ}$N-41$^{\circ}$N) covers the whole region of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea with grid resolution of 1/6$^{\circ}$ in longitude and 1/8$^{\circ}$in latitude. A radiational boundary condition is used along the open boundaries. Calculations show that advection terms yield negative residual elevation, while shallow-water terms in continuity equation yield positive residual elevation. The contribution of both advection terms and shallow-water terms to tile generation of the M$_4$ constituent is more than 90 percents, but that of quadratic bottom friction terms to the M$_4$ constituent is comparatively small.

An efficient tidal model, TIDE which is an iterative type, nonlinear finite element model has developed for the analysis of the tidal movement in the coastal area which is characterized by irregular boundaries and bottom topography. Traditional time domain finite element models have been in difficulties with requirement for high eddy viscosity coefficients and small time steps to insure numerical instability. These problems are overcome by operating in the frequency domain with an elaborate grid system by combining the triangular and quadrilateral shape grids. Furthermore, in order to handle non-linearity which will be more significant in the shallow region, an iterative scheme with least square error minimization algorithm has been implemented in the model. The results of TIDE model are agreed with the analytical solutions in a rectangular channel under the condition of tidal waves entering the channel closed at one end.

The mass transport is very complicated at the area which has the macro tide and complex geometry such as Gyeonggi bay. Especially, the long period current has a strong influence on the estuarine ecosystem and the long-term distribution of substances. The long period current is caused by several external forcing, whose unique characteristic varies spatially and temporally. The variation characteristics of long period current is analysed and its generation mechanism is studied. The tidal nonlinear constituents such as overtide and compound tide are generated due to nonlinear interaction and it causes mean sea level setup. The tidal wave propagating up into estuary is transformed rapidly by decrease of cross-sectional area and depth. Therefore the mean sea level is getting rise toward upriver. The high and low tide level is similar between down-river(Incheon) and up-river(Ganghwa) during neap tide when the tidal deformation is decreased. The tidal phase difference between two tidal stations causes a periodic fluctuation of sea level difference. The low water level of Ganghwa station during spring tide does not descend under EL(-)2.5 m, but the low water level of Incheon fall down under EL(-)4.0 m. The variation of tidal range and its sea level are increased during spring tide. It is found that the long period current $M_{sf}$ is quite similar to that of sea level difference between the two tidal stations. It means that the sea surface inclination caused by the spatial difference of tidal deformation is important forcing for the generation of long period current.

Abstract [] The prediction of changes in the tidal regime due to the sea dike closure in the Saemankum area was performed using the nonlinear finite element model, TIDE. Based upon an overall comparison of calibrated model results with available field data, the TIDE model behaves well and is good representation of the hydrodynamic of the Saemankum tidal project area. It is shown that the TIDE model does an excellent job of computing the changes of tidal characteristics resulting in sea dike closure in an estuary area.

For investigation of the interaction of tide and river flow, the derived equations are solved analytically using the approximation method of perturbation. The convective inertia and nonlinear bottom friction terms are included in the derivations. The harmonic analysis is applied to decompose the complicated interaction of the freshwater discharge with various constituents of tide into its individual interaction with each constituent. In this study, four main constituents(M2, S2, Kl, 01) are included. The relations of dimensionless parameters of the tide, especially the dimensionless damping modulus, are then determined for each solution. The results show that analytical solution of dimensionless damping modulus underestimates the measured value obtained from harmonic analysis. Results of water level obtained by applying the analytical model to a tidal reach of the Keum River in the years 1981 and 1982 show very good agreement with those obtained from the harmonic analysis.
