Respiration is induced by muscular contraction of the chest and abdomen, resulting in the abdominal volume change. Thus, continuous measurement of the abdominal dimension enables to monitor breathing activity. Conductive rubber cord has been previously introduced and tested to develop wearable application for respiratory measurements. This study implemented respiratory monitoring system with the conductive rubber cord in the patient's pants in purpose of quantitative estimation of tidal volume. Air mixed with $0{\sim}5%$ $CO_2$ was inhaled and the respiratory air flow rate, abdominal dimension change, and end tidal $CO_2$ concentration were simultaneously measured in steady state. $CO_2$ inhalation significantly increased the tidal volume in normal physiological state with the subject unawared. The tidal volume estimated from the abdominal dimension change linearly correlated with the tidal volume measured by a pneumotachometer with a correlation coefficient of 0.88. Customized calibration for each subject resulted in relative errors less than 10%. Therefore, the tidal volume was accurately estimated by measuring the abdominal dimension change.

Water pollution in a semi-enclosed sea area such as a bay due to stagnancy of water has been a serious water environmental problem. Recently, some kinds of new methods to activate the tidal exchange between an inner bay and an outer sea area by control of a tidal residual current have been proposed. However, these methods have several problems, that is, I). deterioration in a natural view due to building of huge structures, II). increase of risk of navigation in case of a submerged structure, III). limition of sea area where a tidal current can be controlled and IV). difficulty in removing those structures in case of occurrence of an unexpected impact on water environment. In this paper, a new method is proposed, which can solve all the above problems, to purify water quality in a semi-enclosed bay by creation and control of a pattern of a tidal residual current. The tidal residual current is controlled by unsymmetric structures, which change the properties of resistance according to the direction of flow, arranged on the sea bottom. In this study, several numerical and hydraulic experiments of tidal current and particle-tracking for various arrangements of bottom roughness in a semi-enclosed model bay were carried out. As a result of experiments, it becomes clear that it is possible to generate a new tidal residual current and to activate a tidal exchange by only operation of bottom roughness arrangement.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of wind on the circulation of seawater in Gamak Bay, which contains numerous farms for fish and shellfish but suffers a significant loss by fisheries nearly annually from harmful algal blooms. In numerical experiments with a simplified bathymetry for Gamak Bay, the wind in summer appeared to more strongly influence the east-westward flow than the south-northward flow. In winter, this trend was nearly similar to the summer but seemed to have a greater effect on the flow at the north-west of the bay than the flow at the south mouth of the bay. On the other hand, in numerical experiments with a realistic bathymetry for Gamak Bay, the wind in summer appeared to more strongly influence the east-westward flow than the south-northward flow. Furthermore, the effect of the wind was stronger at the south mouth of the bay than at the north-west of the bay. In contrast, the wind in winter affected the east-westward flow more strongly and its effect appeared stronger at the north-west of the bay than at the south mouth of the bay. In addition, the effect of the wind tended to increase with distance from the east to the west. Therefore, the tidal currents in Gamak Bay proved to be strongly influenced by the wind, in particular east-westward. However, some measures are urgently required to improve the water quality of the bay, since the south-northward flow turned out to be obstructed by an east-westward shoal located in the middle of the bay.

The horizontal heat-pulse flowmeter was used to measure grounwater flow in volcanic rocks at sites in eastern part of Jeju Island, Korea. Three boreholes, Handong-1, Jongdal-1, and Susan-1, which are located at close distance from the coastline, were selected from the sea water intrusion monitoring wells. To evaluate the direction and velocity of the groundwater flow, 6 to 8 measuring points for each borehole were chosen. There are two major flow directions at Handong-1, which are toward north-east and south-east directions and velocity ranges from $2.2{\sim}3.0cm/hr\;and\;0.6{\sim}1.0cm/hr$, respectively. For Jongdal-1, two major flow directions were detected that are east and north-west and velocity ranges from $1.2{\sim}2.0cm/hr$. For Susan-1, major flow is toward east direction and the ,velocity ranges from $2.2{\sim}2.7cm/hr$ at depth $60{\sim}70m$,\;and\;0.8{\sim}0.9cm/hr$ at depth $70{\sim}80m$. In order to evaluate the tidal effect on groundwater flow, direction and velocity were measured at specific depth with time, At depth 57m of Susan-1, the velocity increased during the tidal variation, The flow direction and velocity varies with different depths, and they are also affected by tidal fluctuation. Thereafter, care must be taken when flow direction and velociy is estimated indirectly by using hydraulic head at monitoring wells.

The design methodology of the sluice caisson structure is one of important factor that is closely related to the efficiency in tidal power generation. When the sluice caisson is designed to maximize the water discharge capability, it is possible to minimize the number of sluice caissons for attaining the water amount required for achieving the target power generation, which results in reduction of the construction cost for the sluice caisson structure. The discharge capability of sluice caisson is dependent on the geometrical conditions of an apron structure which is placed in both sides of the sluice caisson. In this study, we investigated numerically the variation of water discharge capability of sluice caisson according to the geometrical conditions of apron. Flow fields are simulated with FLOW-3D software using VOF method.

천해역(shallow sea area)에서의 조류 형태(tidal flow regime)는 주로 만(bay)이나 해안선(shoreline)의 형태, 해저 지형(bottom topography), 수로(channel), 천퇴(sand bar)나 간석지(tidal flat) 등의 지형적인 요인에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구는 복잡한 지형적 변화 및 천해특성에 기인된 조석(tide)의 현상이 뚜렷이 나타나는 금강하구(Keum River Estuary)를 하구둑(Estuary Dike) 건설 전${\cdot}$후(Before and After Constructed)의 수심(depth)변화 및 유속(current)변화를 수치실험(numerical experiments)으로 고찰했다.

In order to see physical characteristics of water masses and tidal currents in Gamak Bay, some field surveys have been conducted using ADCP, Aanderaa current meter and CTD from May 17 to June 3, 2004. The northwest of the bay appeared to have a high temperature and a high salinity so that it coincided with the previous results. The distribution of temperature and salinity seemed to reflect the characteristics of water masses. At the south mouth of the bay, a northwestward-southeastward flow was dominant at the surface layer while a northeastward-southwestward flow was dominant at the bottom layer.

부산항(북항) 재개발사업은 노후화된 북항 일반부두를 해양관광의 중심지역 그리고 부산시민을 위한 친수공간으로 개발하기 위해 그동안 많은 연구와 노력이 진행되어 왔으며, 현재 구체적인 방안이 모색되는 실행단계로 진입하였다. 한편, 재개발로 인한 유동장 및 해수교환의 변화는 환경적인 측면에서 중요한 검토사항 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 북항 재개발에 따른 일반적인 자료를 수집 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 하여 재개발에 따른 유동장의 변화와 만 내 해수교환을 수치실험으로 검토하였다. 실험결과, 조류속 변화는 북항 및 내항에서 감소가 나타나고 주수로상에서 증가가 나타나고 있다. 해수교환 변화는 15일이 지난 준 정상상태에서 재개발 전후 공히 약 77% 내외에 달하는 것으로 나타났다.

한국 남서해 다도해역 주변의 조석 조류특성을 파악하기 위해 2차원 수치모델을 이용하여 다도협수로역, 섬과 육지사이 수로역, 섬 주변 개방해역 주변 4개 해역의 조석 조류 계산 결과를 비교하였다. 조류 최대유속은 다도협수로역에서 31.92 cm/s로 작았고, 섬주변 개방역에서 87.55 cm로 컸다. 조석잔차류는 협수로가 길고 수로 내 섬이 많은 해역에서 컸다. 조석에너지 분산과 조석진폭의 변동범위는 다도협수로역($392.6{\times}10^7$ erg/s, 99.0 cm)이 가장 크고 섬과 육지사이 수로역($125.7{\times}10^7$ erg/s, 11.6 cm), 섬 주변 개방역($23.1{\times}10^7$ erg/s, 8.1 cm) 순서로 작았다. 즉 다도해역 내 협수로와 수심의 급격한 변화가 조석에너지 분산에 큰 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
