Recently in Korea, a marine ranching project has continued to grow with the increasing needs of sea development. Management techniques, including settlement reduction and scour protection, have been required for constructing and maintaining the artificial reefs of this marine ranching project. The generation of settlement and scour can be influenced by ground characteristics. In this study, various laboratory tests (penetration test, two-dimensional water tank test) were performed to determine the settlement and scour characteristics of artificial reefs under various ground conditions. Three kinds of ground reinforcement were prepared: unreinforced, geogrid, and hybrid bamboo mat. Penetration test results showed that the normalized settlement ratio of ground reinforced with a hybrid bamboo mat was smaller than those of unreinforced ground and geogrid-reinforced ground. Two-dimensional water tank test results showed that the scour characteristics of ground reinforced with a geogrid were more reduced and stable than unreinforced ground. The amount of scour and ground settlement also decreased with increasing reinforced area.

Deep Ocean Water is formed within restricted area including polar sea (high latitude) by cooling of surface seawater and globally circulated in the state of insolation with surface seawater. Although not as obvious as estuaries mixing, Brine groundwater is mixture of recirculated seawater and groundwater. Seawater having high osmotic pressure infiltrate into unconfined aquifer where is connected to the sea. The ions dissolved in seawater are present in constant proportions to each other and to the total salt content of seawater. However deviation in ion proportions have been observed in some brine groundwater. Some causes of these exception to the Rule of constant proportions are due to many chemical reactions between periphery soil and groundwater. While Deep Ocean Water (DOW) have a large quantity of functional trace metals and biological affinity relative to brine groundwater, DOW have relatively small amount of harmful bacteria and artificial pollutants.

Tidal artificial lake capable of inflow and outflow of seawater is planned for waterfront and eco-friendly space at Songdo, Incheon, Korea. This study for hydrodynamic behaviors of tidal artificial lake was carried out and predicted about water level and velocity within the lake corresponding to width of channel or waterway using by 1 dimensional numerical model(CEA) and 2 dimensional numerical model(FLOW2DH). As a result, the proper width, 100.0m of the channel between the lake and the open sea was calculated reasonable conclusions such as tidal phase lag and maximum velocity from CEA. Also, water level and velocity of each point within the lake was predicted and compared to the measured data from FLOW2DH. FLOW2DH was added to the gate control case for maintenance and administration purpose of the lake and obtained the results that the velocity was decreased by approximately 20% at flood and 50% at ebb than the case without gate control.

The structures exposed to marine environment do not show long-term durability due to corrosion of steel and deterioration of concrete by the attack of various salts dissolved in sea water. In this study, Partial substitution of cement with fly ash(20%) or blast furnace slag(40%) was made together with the addition of 4 different corrosion-inhibitors, as a protective measure of concrete structures against chemical attack of salts. Combined effects of mineral and corrosion-inhibiting admixtures were tested by measuring the resistance and compressive strength of concretes under the simulated tidal condition, which consists of alternating 12 hour periods of immersion in artificial sea water and drying in air. Both the strength and concrete resistance were found to decrease in following order, regardless of the corrosion inhibitors the concretes with blast furnace slag, those with fly ash and those without any mineral admixtures. The interrelation between compressive strength of concrete and resistance was investigated.

Mulletts, Mugil cephalus were exposed to artificial sea water containing $50{\mu}g/\iota\;of\;^{14}C-la-belled$ di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP) during 15 days and returned to the DEHP free sea water in order to know bioconcentration and depuration of DEHP in the fish. Bioaccumulative process of DEHP in the fish was rather fast, and bioconcentration level of $9.7\~14{\mu}g/g$ and a bioconcentration factor of $220\~270$ were reached after one any of exposure. The biological half-life of DEHP in fish was 1.8 days. Five intermediate metabolites of DEHP were detected in the benzene and ethyl acetate fraction of fish by TLC.

The creation of the hydraulic turbine flow factor map will undoubtedly benefit its design by decreasing both the design cycle time and product cost. In this paper, the geometry and flow variables, which effectively affect the flow factor, are proposed, analyzed and determined. These flow variables are further used to create the operating condition maps by using different model approaches categorized into Response Surface Method (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The accuracies of models created by different approaches are compared and the performances of model approaches are analyzed. The influences of chosen variables and the combination of Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and model approaches are also studied. The comparison results between predicted and actual flow factors suggest that two-hidden-layer Feed-forward Neural Network (FFNN), and one.hidden-layer FFNN with PCA has the best performance on forming this mapping, and are accurate sufficiently for hydraulic turbine design.

The Nakdong Estuary is complex water system, where sea water and fresh water meet each other. It has undergone the significant change of its environmental conditions since the construction of the Nakdong River Barrier in 1987. Prior to its construction, mixing and circulation processes in the Nakdong Estuary was dominated by tidal current. However, after the dam construction, those processes were greatly altered by the artificial control of the fresh river water discharge. In this paper, the influence of opening and closing the floodgate of Nakdong River on the outflow behavior of estuarine water from the Nakdong Estuary is analyzed in detail.

In order to preserve the quality of fresh water in the artificial lake after the reclamation of an intertidal flat at the mouth of a river, we suggest two novel methods of water purification by using tidal potential energy and an enclosed permeable embankment called an utsuro (Akai et al., 1990) in the reclaimed region. One method uses an inflatable bag on the seabed within an utsuro, while the other uses a moored floating barge out of a dyke. Each case employs a subsea pipe to allow flow between the inside and outside of the utsuro. The change in water level in the utsuro, which is pushed through the pipe by the potential energy outside, caused circulation in the artificial lake. In this paper, we analyzed the inflatable bag and floating barge motion as well as the pipe flow characteristics and drafts as given by a harmonic sea level, and compared the theoretical value with an experimental value with a simple small model basin. The numerical calculation based on theory showed good agreement with experimental values.

Performance analyses of vertical breakwaters were conducted for fictitiously designed breakwaters for various water depths to analyze the influence of climate change on the structures. The performance-based design method considering sea level rise and wave height increase due to climate change was used for the performance analysis. One of the problems of the performance-based design method is the large calculation time of wave transformation. To overcome this problem, the SWAN model combined with artificial neural network was used. The significant wave height and principal wave direction at the breakwater site are quickly calculated by using a trained neural network with inputs of deepwater significant wave height and principal wave direction, and tidal level. In general, structural stability becomes low due to climate change impacts, but the trend of stability is different depending on water depth. Outside surf zone, the influence of wave height increase becomes more significant, while that of sea level rise becomes negligible, as water depth increases. Inside surf zone, the influence of both wave height increase and sea level rise diminishes as water depth decreases, but the influence of wave height increase is greater than that of sea level rise. Reinforcement and maintenance policies for vertical breakwaters should be established with consideration of these results.
