조석이 크게 작용하는 서해안 지역에서 천해조 성장에 기인하여 조위곡선에 비대칭 현상이 발생하는 경우를 볼 수 있다. 특히 목포해역의 낙조우세는 국내에서 가장 두드러지기에 국내 연구자들에 의해 낙조우세 현상과 관련된 다양한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 목포해역 낙조우세의 근원은 무안만의 드넓은 조간대에 기인한다고 알려져 있는데 이러한 조석비대칭의 정량적 해석을 위해 진폭비 및 상대지각, 조위 및 조류속 곡선의 왜도 등을 고찰하였다. 또한 무안만에서 보름 동안 조위를 관측함으로써 목포항과의 진폭 및 조시차를 파악할 수 있었으며 무안만의 낙조시간이 목포항보다 40분 정도 짧음을 확인하였다. 이와 함께 목포북항과 목포구 조류예보자료 역시 분석하여 결과 도출에 활용하였다. 한편, 대소조 주기별 조석비대칭의 정량적 변화를 PCA 및 SWA 지표를 통해 검토함으로써 소류사와 부유사 거동의 정성적 해석의 토대를 제공하였다. 이와 함께 목포해역 낙조우세의 장기적 변화를 고찰함으로써 조석비대칭과 관련된 이 해역의 과거-현재-미래를 아우르는 조석특성 규명의 기초를 마련하였다.

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.

When the costal zone surrounded by a breakwater has a narrow vertical opening, currents in the vicinity of a narrow entrance can result in a jet flow, coinciding with the tide. Such a Tidal-Jet Generator(TJG) can change the water mass distribution and transport processes in the domain of influence of the jet. Also, it can decrease the residual time of them. In the present study, the water purification utilizing tidal jets in the coastal zone over constant bathymetry are estimated numerically, using a finite-difference numerical scheme, named the NS-MAC-TIDE method, which isbased on the fully 3D Navier-stokes(NS) equations. The shear velocity near the inlet of the TJG are predicted from the flow field simulation, and are assessed qualitatively with the development of scouring or sediment that is caused by the change of diffusion or sweeping flowup from the seabed of sediment particles. Finally, through solving a transport equation of concentration, the residual time related on mass transport processes and the flushing mechanism for water purification are investigated.

서해 개야수로 인근의 파랑전파, 해수유동, 퇴적물이동을 분석하기 위해서 각종 인공구조물 설치 전(CASE1W)과 후(CASE2W)로 분류하고, CASE1W와 CASE2W에 대한 계산결과를 비교하였다. 파랑전파에 대해서는 SWAN 수치모형을 이용하여 입사파와 반사파의 결과를 도출하였고, 해수유동에 대해서는 FLOW2DH 수치모형을 이용하여 해수유동에 따른 유속 결과를 도출하였다. SWAN 수치모형과 FLOW2DH 수치모형의 결과는 퇴적물이동을 예측하는 SEDTRAN 수치모형의 입력조건이 되어 개야수로 인근의 최대 저면전단응력과 부유사 농도분포를 계산하였다. SWAN 수치모형 계산결과, CASE2W의 경우 약 7 km 길이의 북측 도류제에 의해서 입사파가 회절 및 중첩되고, 반사파가 생성되어 개야수로 인근의 파고를 CASE1W에 비해 40~50 % 증가시켰다. FLOW2DH 수치모형 계산결과, 북방파제, 북측 도류제 및 금란도에 의해서 개야수로의 유속이 CASE1W과 대비하여 CASE2W가 10~30 % 빠르게 계산되었다. SEDTRAN 수침모형의 계산결과, 복합 파랑장(입사파, 반사파, 조석)에 따른 해양환경과 각종 인공구조물의 설치에 의해서 개야수로의 최대 저면전단응력이 1.0 N/m² 이상인 구간과 부유사농도가 80 mg/L 이상인 구간이 넓게 분포되었다는 것은 개야수로에 퇴적현상이 발생한 것이라고 판단된다.

Most countries in the world are trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the production of electricity and replace them with renewable energy technologies. In Korea, there are abundant ocean renewable energy sources that will play an important role in power generation in the future. This paper introduces a new tidal energy converter utilizing flow induced vibration (FIV), which can work efficiently, even in the currents slower than 1.0m/s. All tests were conducted at the Marine Renewable Energy Laboratory at the University of Michigan to examine the effects of the damping ratio of the electric generators on the power outputs and power efficiencies. In these tests, two identical circular cylinders were used, and passive turbulence controllers were applied to the surface of the cylinders to enhance the FIV. The experimental results showed that by using the two cylinders in the FIV, the power output and efficiency reached up to 31 W and 36%, respectively. In particular, the results showed that the power efficiency was higher at the relatively low flow speed (4

Due to global warming, the need to secure an alternative resource has become more important nationally. Due to the high tidal range of up to 9.7m on the west coast of Korea, numerous tidal current projects are being planned and constructed. To extract a significant quantity of power, a tidal current farm with a multi-arrangement is necessary in the ocean. The rotor, which initially converts the energy, is a very important component because it affects the efficiency of the entire system, and its performance is determined by various design variables. The power generation is strongly dependent on the size of the rotor and the incoming flow velocity. However, the interactions between devices also contribute significantly to the total power capacity. Therefore, rotor performance considering the interaction problems needs to be investigated for generating maximum power in a specific field. This paper documents the characteristics of wake induced by horizontal axis tidal current power turbine.

Tidal power can use conventional technology to extract energy from the tides. It is usually best deployed in areas where there i s a high tical range which includes Western and Southern coastal areas in Korea. However, to extract tical energy, a barrage across an estuary or a bay is to be constructed that is now very hard due to severe environmental impact on local estuary. The recent technology of application of tidal stream provides a new window to extract power minimizing the adverse environmental impact Tidal stream technology which directly exploits these currents is relatively new but is presently generating considerable interest Turbine rotors can be used to extract energy from the flows. Prototype devices currently on test in the UK include the 300kW SeaFlow turbine. In this paper, the recent technology and research on ocean tical stream power are addressed

The Shiwhaho is an artificial lake located in Yellow sea of Korea where the ocean tidal current is significantly strong, and the tidal power plant is currently being under construction to generate electric power from the ocean tidal current. In addition to the tidal power plant under construction, an ocean current power park was proposed to maximize the power generation by utilizing the ocean current generated by the tidal power plant. To evaluate the feasibility of such combined power plant, the flow characteristics in the ocean current power parks connected with the tidal power plants were investigated numerically in the present study. When two different type of generations are operating together as a system, their interference may occur, which affects their efficiency. Therefore, the minimum distances between the tidal power plants and the ocean current power generators are studied in the present study to minimize such interference. The feasible region to generate power around the Shiwha tide embankment is also predicted by considering predicted ocean current speed distribution. Various arrangements of the ocean current generators are examined and an optimal arrangement is also discussed.

In the modern age, as man's demand of energy is continuously grew, tidal becomes one of the sustainable energy sources that have been investigating thoroughly recently. Tidal turbine has proved high potential as a future power-generating device. To effectively capture tidal energy on site, a group of tidal turbines should be used and positioned in some formation with proper size and space so that energy can be absorbed from multiple point. Thus, the turbines together with the flow filed becomes a huge domain, a tidal farm. So, it becomes more convenient if a whole turbine farm is simulated by means of actuator discs since the time and cost for analysis can be reduced. This paper aims to evaluate the operating performance (power efficiency and energy restoration rate), mutual influence (for different longitudinal and lateral spaces), the influence of velocity profiles, turbulence intensity and the far wake characteristic of tidal turbines operating in farm formation. The results of this study help contributing to the present development of tidal turbine as the future potential energy conversion machinery.

Tidal currents and tidal residual currents in Chinhae Bay are investigated by the field observations and hydraulic experiments during the spring tide and neap tide. The horizontal and vertical scales of the model are l/2,000 and 1/159, respectively. The hydraulic model results roughly coincide with the field data. Maximum tidal currents during the spring tide and neap tide in the central channel of Chinhae Bay are strong as about 90 and 30cm/s respectively, and strong tidal residual currents take place. Maximum tidal currents during the spring tide and neap tide in the western and northern part of the bay are weak as below 30 and 10cm/s respectively, and also tidal residual currents are weak. Tidal residual currents rotating clockwise occur in the central part of the bay. Northward tidal residual currents in the northern part of Kajo-do are predominant, whereas southward ones in the southern part of Kajo-do are remarkable. The surface currents in the bay depend strongly on the wind and river flow, and it seems to be remarkable during the neap tide.
