  • Phenomena induced by waves, such as overtopping, sediment transport, vibration/fluctuation and destruction of structures are highly influenced by the directionality of wave propagation. These phenomena are often dominated by non-linearity, and so hydraulic model experiments are widely adopted for stability analysis rather than numerical modeling, Thus, stability ofrubblc mound breakwaters(RMB) due to wavc directionality was experimentally investigated in this study. The incident wave angle $30^{\circ}$ was found more risky on the damage rate of RMB under directional regular waves, and the incident wave angle $40^{\circ}$ was found relatively risky under directional irregular waves. These results clarified the wave directionality effect on the stability ofRMB, These facts were found correspondent to the occurrence of the peak between $20^{\circ}$-$40^{\circ}$ with the directional frequency distribution of lIlO maximum water particle velocity.

  • Environmental monitoring was conducted to identify the characteristics and patterns of sedimentary environments of tidal flats in 12 areas on the west coast of Korea. The habitat of the mud shrimp Upogebia major contained higher organic and mud contents compared to the habitat of the manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. In particular, the mud content increased from 84.38% to 89.18% in the Seongam-4 area, where the mud shrimp and manila clam coexist, and the mean grain size exhibited a finer particle size, from 5.48 Φ to 5.80 Φ. In the mud shrimp habitat, the sediment mud content was > 60% and the mean grain size was > 5 Φ. Additionally, the mud shrimp only inhabited open coast tidal flat areas. The management of shellfish aquaculture farms by physical methods should be continued based on comparison of the sedimentary environments in the Boryeong and Seongam areas in response to the damage to the mud shrimp habitat.

  • In February,2004, at International Maritime Organization (IMO), LONDON, a new international convention 'International Convention fur the Control and Management of Ship's Ballast Water and Sediment 2004' was adopted. It is called 'Ballast Water Management Convention (BWM)'. Ballast water means charged seawater or fresh water in ship's special tanks (ballast tank) to keep safety navigation and ship's maneuverability. However, from 1980, it was point out the serious problem for marine ecosystem and human life that ballast water includes harmful marine species (and small organisms) and these species are also discharged along with ballast water. These species were released with discharged ballast water in water areas, where species are different from discharged ballast water. The problem is that released species increase when released species are more powerful than native species and consequently, marine ecological system is destroyed in released water area. Authors have inspected the validity of the ballast water exchange using pumping-through method that is one of the methods of ballast water management. In this paper, the numerical simulation of the motion and density of the fluid at the time of exchange of the fluid in a 2-dimensional tank using the pumping-through method was carried out by using two different type numerical methods. One method is MPS method that is one of the particle methods. Other one is Finite Different Method (FDM). Authors were compared with result of two numerical method calculations and experiment result and reported some knowledge from these results.

  • Rain events are extremely important for phosphorus (P) dynamics in rivers since large portions of annual river P loads can be transported in particulate forms during only a few major events. Despite their importance, a precise estimation of P contribution in river sediments after rainy seasons has rarely been reported. This study estimated the longitudinal variation in the concentrations of different inorganic P fractions in bed sediments of the South Han River over a rainy season, through using the sequential extraction method. Non-apatite P was the dominant form, representing more than 60% of total inorganic P (TIP) content in sediments. Although no significant variation of TIP contents was observed, the proportion of bioavailable P in TIP pools decreased after the rainy season. The concentrations of individual inorganic P fractions ($NH_4Cl-P$, $NH_4F-P$, NaOH-P, and $H_2SO_4-P$) were significantly different across sites and after the rainy season (p < 0.05, two-way ANOVA). $NH_4F-P$ and NaOH-P concentrations in sediments increased in a downstream direction. After the rainy season, $NH_4Cl-P$ concentrations in sediments decreased whereas $NH_4F-P$ and $H_2SO_4-P$ concentrations increased. The redistribution of individual P fractions in sediments observed after rainy seasons were possibly due to the changing contribution of various sources of runoff and the variation in flow related particle size. Current estimation of P in bed sediments of the South Han River suggests a lower potential of internal P loading from sediments after the rainy season.

  • 유수동역학적인 요소와 유사의 부유는 서로 상호작용을 주고받으며 다양한 현상을 만들어낸다. 많은 선행연구를 통해 유사 농도 등의 특성이 난류 구조 등의 변화를 야기하며, 변화한 난류 구조 역시 유사의 부유 등에 2차적인 영향을 준다는 점이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 가는 유사에 보다 집중하여 유사 부유와 이에 따른 연직구조 특성의 변화를 살펴본다. 본 연구에서는 1차원 연직 모형을 이용하여 수치실험을 수행한다. 본 연구에 이용된 모형은 가는 유사의 특성인 빠른 입자 반응 시간(Particle Response Time)이 가정되는 모형으로 선행연구를 통해 적용성이 검증된 것으로 판단한다. 주요 분석대상은 유사의 농도와 속도경사 간의 관계 등이며, 분석하는 유사 농도 종류는 일반적인 비점착성 유사의 경우에 관심을 가지는 질량 농도에 집중하여 결정된다. 수치실험 수행을 위해서는 정류 흐름, 진동파 흐름 등이 적용되었고 다양한 경우의 가는 유사를 고려하기 위한 실험조건의 변경이 이루어졌다. 수치실험 결과 진동파의 다양한 위상에서 조금씩 달라지는 연직구조가 확인되었다. 이는 보정되는 Schmidt 수의 값과도 연관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 가는 유사의 경우에도 입자의 크기에 따라 다른 연직구조의 특성이 모의되었으며 이를 통해 수치실험의 경우에도 입자 크기의 고려 하에 매개변수의 보정이 이루어져야 한다는 점을 알 수 있다. 스토크스 수는 입자 반응 시간과 유체 난류 시간규모(Fluid Turbulence Ttime Scale)의 비율을 의미한다. 본 연구를 통해 스토크스 수가 유사의 확산강도 결정과 큰 상관 관계를 가지는 것을 알 수 있다. 이때 유사의 크기와 보정되는 Schmidt 수의 값은 고정되었다. 수치 계산시에 확산계수의 값이 부유 및 이에 따른 연직구조의 특성을 결정하는 중요한 변수라는 점을 고려할 때, 가는 유사의 부유를 모의할 때에는 세심한 주의가 요구된다는 점을 이해할 수 있다. 선행 연구사례를 통해 볼 때 부유하는 입자의 관성력이 Schmidt 수의 결정과 이에 따른 연직 구조의 계산에 큰 영향을 준다는 점을 알 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 스토크스 수를 관성력을 나타낼 수 있는 지표로서 계산하였지만 보다 정량적이고 효율적인 입자 관성력 지표가 제시될 때 효율적인 연구결과의 제시가 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • The characteristics and burial ages of sand sediments on the Jiduri coast in Daechung-myeon, Ongjin-gun, Incheon were investigated. Daecheong Island is the area where the characteristics of the rocky coast and sand coast are shown. Various studies have been conducted on the Okjukdong sand dune that appears in the north of the island. However, there has been no study on the sandy sedimentary topography of the Jiduri and Moraewul area in the south. The sandy sedimentary terrain of Jiduri is divided into sandy beaches, sand dunes and sand deposits along the slope including climbing dune. Overall, the depth of sandy sediments in Jiduri is not deep. The characteristics of sandy sediments and burial ages were investigated at an elevation of about 23 m above sea level at the back of Jiduli Beach and 46 m above sea level at the ridge line between Jiduri and Moraewol. From the Jiduri coast to the hillside behind, the average grain size decreases and the sorting becomes better as it moves from the intertidal zone to the beach and the foredune. This indicates the selective sand transport by the wind and can be judged by the terrain formed under the current sedimentation environment. The average grain size at the upper part of the section of JD-1 (elevation of about 23m MSL) was $1.6918{\varphi}$ of medium sand. The sorting was $0.4584{\varphi}$, skewness was -1.0491 and kurtosis was -1.2411, respectively. Particularly, the average particle size of the crosssection issomewhat uniform, but the color of the constituent material changes from brown to black. In the case of JD-2 (about 46 m MSL), the mean grain size of the section was $1.7943{\varphi}$, the sorting was 0.4931, the skewness was -1.1163, and the kurtosis was 1.2133. On the other hand, the brown and black layers of JD-1 exhibited a burial age of $0.1{\pm}0.0ka$ and the JD-2 had a burial age of $0.7{\pm}0.0ka$.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the benthic polychaetous community and benthic ecosystem quality status on the adjacent continental shelf of Jeju Island, and field surveys were conducted at 31 stations in July and August, 2020. The surface sediment was generally composed of muddy sand facies and sandy mud facies, and the average particle size was medium silt (6.1±1.6∅). The benthic polychaetous community revealed a total of 73 species with a mean density of 242 ind./m2. The major dominant species were Notomastus latericeus, Ampharete arctica and Onuphis shirikishinaiensis. By the cluster analysis and nMDS results based on species composition of the benthic polychaetous community, the study area was divided into three station groups arranged from east to west by the water depth and sedimentary facies. The station group located in the west was subdivided into two station groups from south to north. From results of correlation analysis and PCA, it was found that the benthic polychaetous community in the study area had a strong correlation with the sedimentary environment and water depth. The benthic faunal community (or ecosystem) on the adjacent continental shelf of Jeju Island was assessed to be in a healthy state by biotic indices such as AMBI and BPI.

  • 최근 기존의 전통적인 부유사채집기를 활용한 유사량 측정방법의 대안으로 지속적인 유량측정을 목적으로 활용되고 있는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도를 측정에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만, 하천에서 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계를 활용한 유사량 측정 연구는 현장에서 측정된 자료를 기반으로 분석이 수행되기 때문에 통제된 유사 조건에서의 유사의 농도 및 입도분포에 대한 사전 정보를 바탕으로 정밀한 분석의 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안동하천실험센터 순환수로에서 균일한 입도를 가지고 있는 황토를 활용하여 주입량에 따른 초음파산란도의 변화와 동시에 측정된 LISST(laser in-situ scattering and transmissometry)의 부유사 농도와 입도 자료를 활용하여 유사공급에 따른 3Mhz의 단일 주파수를 사용하는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 및 평균입경의 측정에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 측정결과, 유사공급에 따라서 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계로부터 측정된 셀별 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도의 공간적인 분포의 분석이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 유사감쇄계수를 활용하여 LISST로부터 측정된 평균입경과의 관계식을 개발하여 유사공급에 따른 평균입경의 변화를 측정할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 추후, 통제된 조건에서의 다양한 입도분포에 따른 실험을 통해 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 정확도를 개선과 유사감쇄계수를 통해 평균입경을 측정하는데 활용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

  • In recent years, soil erosion has come to be regarded as an essential environmental problem in human life. Soil erosion causes various on- and off-site problems such as ecosystem destruction, decreased agricultural productivity, increased riverbed deposition, and deterioration of water quality in streams. To solve these problems caused by soil erosion, it is necessary to quantify where, when, how much soil erosion occurs. Empirical erosion models such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) family models have been widely used to make spatially distributed soil erosion vulnerability maps. Even if the models detect vulnerable sites relatively well by utilizing big data related to climate, geography, geology, land use, etc. within study domains, they do not adequately describe the physical process of soil erosion on the ground surface caused by rainfall or overland flow. In other words, such models remain powerful tools to distinguish erosion-prone areas at the macro scale but physics-based models are necessary to better analyze soil erosion and deposition and eroded particle transport. In this study, the physics-based Surface Soil Erosion Model (SSEM) was upgraded based on field survey information to produce sediment yield at the watershed scale. The modified model (hereafter MoSE) adopted new algorithms on rainfall kinematic energy and surface flow transport capacity to simulate soil erosion more reliably. For model validation, we applied the model to the Doam dam watershed in Gangwon-do and compared the simulation results with the USLE outputs. The results showed that the revised physics-based soil erosion model provided more improved and reliable simulation results than the USLE in terms of the spatial distribution of soil erosion and deposition.

  • 자연하천 바닥 경계층 내에서는 복잡한 난류 구조가 형성되며 이들은 하상에 강한 모멘텀을 전달한다. 바닥 부근에 분포하는 유사 입자들은 경계층 내에서 발생한 난류 흐름으로부터 모멘텀을 전달받아 소류사 혹은 부유사 형태로 이송되게 되며, 이러한 유사 이송 과정을 역학적으로 설명하기 위해서는 경계층 내 유체 흐름에 대한 이해가 선행되어야한다. 경계층 내 난류 흐름 특성이 유사 입자의 움직임에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하기 위해서는 바닥 경계층 내 고해상도 유속 자료와 유사 움직임을 동시에 포착할 수 있는 기술이 요구된다. 하지만 현재까지 수행된 대부분의 선행 연구들은 점 유속을 측정할 수 있는 음파 도플러 유속계 (Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry) 혹은 2차원 입자 영상 유속계를 활용하였으며, 이들은 복잡한 3차원 난류 흐름 특성을 분석하기에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 실험실 실험을 통해 바닥 경계층 내 3차원 난류 흐름이 유사 이송에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 유사 주변에서의 고해상도 3차원 흐름 유동장 및 순간적인 유사 움직임에 대해서는 합성 개구 (synthetic aperture) 기반의 3차원 입자 영상 유속계 및 입자 추적 유속계를 활용하여 취득하였다. 취득된 흐름 유동장을 기반으로 레이놀즈 전단응력을 산정하였으며 이를 통해 유체가 하상에 미치는 모멘텀의 크기를 파악하였다. 복잡한 난류 흐름 구조에 대해서는 팔분원 분석 (octant analysis)을 통해 구분했으며, 유사가 움직이는 순간의 유속장을 기반으로 유사 이송을 발생시키는 지배적인 난류 흐름 특성에 대해 규명하였다. 본 연구는 바닥 경계층 내 복잡한 3차원 난류 흐름과 유사 입자의 움직임을 동시에 분석함으로써 기존에 수행되어왔던 선행 연구들의 한계점을 극복하고 보다 명확한 유사 이송의 발생 원인에 대해 분석했다는 점에 의의가 있다.
