현행 중등학교 과학 및 지구과학 교과서에 제시되어 있는 대부분의 해류도는 1930년대 일본 과학자에 의한 대규모 해양 관측을 기반으로 제작된 것이다. 현재 해양학자들의 과학적인 관점으로 보았을 때 이 해류도들은 상당한 오류를 가지고 있고 학생들에게 오개념을 유발할 가능성이 높아 새로운 해류도 제작이 필요하였다. 그러나 황해와 동중국해의 해류는 상대적으로 얕은 수심과 복잡한 지형, 바람, 조류의 영향으로 계절적으로 복잡한 양상을 나타내기 때문에 하나의 해류도로 표현하는 것은 간단하지 않다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 황해 및 동중국해의 해류도 작성에 유의해야 할 주요 항목으로 쿠로시오해류의 동중국해로의 유출입과 북상 경로, 대마난류의 기원과 대한해협으로의 유입, 대만난류의 경로, 제주난류, 양쯔강 유출류의 흐름 양상, 황해 난류의 북상 범위와 경로, 그 외 중국연안류, 한반도 서해안의 서한연안류, 보하이해 해류 등 16가지를 선정하여 이에 기반을 두고 학회의 의견을 수렴하였다. 2014년부터 3년 동안 학회, 전문가 토론회, 자문회의를 통하여 해양학계 과학자들의 오랜 기간 동안 심도 있는 논의와 여러 차례 수정을 통하여 황해와 동중국해에 대한 최종 해류도를 제작하였다. 최종 해류도는 이 해역 해류의 복잡성을 고려하여 여름과 겨울을 대표하는 해류도, 여름과 겨울의 표층과 저층 해류도, 그리고 계절과 깊이에 상관없이 황해 및 동중국해를 대표할 수 있는 하나의 표층해류도 등 총 7개로 제작되었다. 이 해류도들은 향후 동해와 북서태평양 해류도와 연결하여 중등학교 교과서 및 고등교육, 나아가서는 과학 전문가를 위한 해류도로서 널리 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Ocean energy is one of the most promising renewable energy resources. In particular, South Korea is one of the countries where it is economically and technically feasible to develop tidal current power plants to use tidal current energy. In this study, based on the design code for HARP_Opt (Horizontal axis rotor performance optimizer) developed by NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) in the United States, and applying the BEMT (Blade element momentum theory) and GA (Genetic algorithm), the optimal shape design and performance evaluation of the horizontal axis rotor for a 200-kW-class tidal current turbine were performed using different numbers of blades (two or three) and a pitch control method (variable pitch or fixed pitch). As a result, the VSFP (Variable Speed Fixed Pitch) turbine with three blades showed the best performance. However, the performances of four different cases did not show significant differences. Hence, it is necessary when selecting the final design to consider the structural integrity related to the fatigue, along with the economic feasibility of manufacturing the blades.

해양음향 토모그래피에 의한 유속측정의 유효성을 검증하기 위하여 1997년 4월 거제도 남쪽해역에서 쌍방향 음파전파 토모그래피 실험을 실시하였다. 이 실험은 해양음향 토모그래피에 의한 실시간 유속관측 시스템을 구축하기 위한 현장 기초실험으로 시도되었다. 실험 당시의 해양물리 환경을 고려하면서 음파 전파시간 차이에 의한 유속측정 결과를 초음파 유속계(ADCP)에 의한 실측유속과 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 두 실측치는 상관계수 0.943으로써 매우 양호한 상관관계를 보였으며, 해양음향 토모그래피에 의한 방법이 연안해역에서 유속측정 방법으로서 향후 크게 활용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

The turbine is one of the most important components in the tidal current power device which can convert current flow to rotational energy. Generally, a tidal turbine has two or three blades that are subjected to hydrodynamic loads. The blades are continuously deformed by various incoming flow velocities. Depending on the velocities, blade size, and material, the deformation rates would be different that could affect the power production rate as well as turbine performance. Surely deformed blades would decrease the performance of the turbine. However, most studies of turbine performance have been carried out without considerations on the blade deformation. The power estimation and analysis should consider the deformed blade shape for accurate output power. This paper describes a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis conducted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the finite element method (FEM) to estimate practical turbine performance. The loss of turbine efficiency was calculated for a deformed blade that decreased by 2.2% with maximum deformation of 216mm at the blade tip. As a result of the study, principal causes of power loss induced by blade deformation were analysed and summarised in this paper.

The use of a tidal-current power system is one source of renewable energy that can minimize the environmental impact of power production and offer many other advantages compared to conventional energy sources. Unlike other energy production approaches, rate of energy production can be precisely predicted and the operational rate is very high. The performance of the rotor, which has a vital role in energy production using tidal currents, is determined by various design factors, and it should be optimized for the specific ocean environment in the field. The horizontal-axis turbine is very sensitive to the direction of flow, and flow direction changes due to rise and fall of the tides. To investigate the performance of the rotor considering the interaction problems with incidence angle of flow, a series of experiments were conducted, and a 3D CFD model was designed and analyzed by ANSYS CFX. The results and findings are summarized in the paper.

The prediction of ocean currents in real time over the warning times of a few hours or days is required in planning many operation-related activities in the ocean. Traditionally this is done through numerical models which are targeted toward producing spatially distributed information. This paper discusses a complementary method to do so when site-specific predictions are desired. It is based on the use of a recurrent type of neural network as well as the statistical tool of model tree. The measurements made at a site in Indian Ocean over a period of 4 years were used. The predictions were made over 72 time steps in advance. The models developed were found to be fairly accurate in terms of the selected error statistics. Among the two modeling techniques the model tree performed better showing the necessity of using distributed models for different sub-domains of data rather than a unique one over the entire input domain. Typically such predictions were associated with average errors of less than 2.0 cm/s. Although the prediction accuracy declined over longer intervals, it was still very satisfactory in terms of theselected error criteria. Similarly prediction of extreme values matched with that of the rest of predictions. Unlike past studies both east-west and north-south current components were predicted fairly well.

Flow prediction was carried out through observational survey and three dimensional multi-layered numerical diagnostic model experiment to clarify the time and spatial structure of tidal current and residual flow dominant in the sea exchange and material circulation of the waters around Geumo Islands in the southern waters of Korea. The horizontal variation of tidal current is so large that it causes asymmetric tidal mixing due to horizontal eddies and the topographical effect creating convergence and dispersion of flow direction and velocity. Due to strong tidal currents flowing northwest-southeast, counterclockwise and clockwise eddies are formed on the left and right sides of the south of Sori Island. These topographical eddies are created by horizontal turbulence and bottom friction causing nonlinear effects. Baroclinic density flows are less than 5 cm/s at coastal area in summer and the entire sea area in winter. The wind driven currents assuming summer and winter seasonal winds are also less than 5 cm/s and the current flow rate is high in winter. Density current in summer and wind driven current in winter have a relatively greater effect on the net residual flows (tidal residual current + density current + density driven current) around Geumo Islands Sea area.

Ocean surface current data in Korea was collected using sets of High-Frequency Ocean Surface Radars (HFOSRs) with 25 radial sites in the frequency range of 5~43 MHz. Site selection and the correct installation of HFOSR are very important considerations in order to secure continuous and reliable results. The installation procedures of HFOSR are summarized as follows: 1. Survey area selection; 2. Investigation of ambient radio waves and installation environment; 3. Domestic license of radio station; 4. Installation of antenna and housing of electrical and communication devices. The current work describes the entire processes of HFOSR installation within Korea.

Observations were made to validate ocean color algorithms in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea in May 2000. Small scale and meso-scale surveys were conducted for the validation of ocean color products (nLw: normalized water-leaving radiance and chlorophyll concentration). There were discrepancies between SeaWiFS and in situ nLw showing the current aerosol models of standard SeaWiFS processing software are less than adequate (Gordon and Wang, 1994). Applying the standard SeaWiFS in-water algorithm resulted in an overestimation of chlorophyll concentration. This is because that CDOM absorption was higher than the estimated chlorophyll absorption. TSS concentration was also high. Therefore, the study region deviated from Case 1 waters. The source of these materials seems to be the entrainment of coastal water by the Tsushima Warm Current. Study of the bio-optical properties in other season is desirable.
