Tidal channel development is influenced by sediment type, grain size, composition and tidal current. Tidal channels are usually characterized by channel development, density and shape. Quantitative analysis of tidal channels using remotely sensed data have rarely been studied. The objective of this study is to quantify tidal channels in terms of fractal dimension and compare different inter-tidal channel patterns. For the fractal analysis, we used Box counting method which had been successfully applied to streams, coastlines and others linear features. For a study, the southern part of Ganghwado tidal flats was selected where is famous for high dynamics of tidal currents and vast tidal flats. This area has different widths and lengths of tidal channels. IKONOS and Komsat-2 MSC images were used for extracting tidal channels, and the Box counting method was applied to obtain fractal dimensions (D) for each tidal channel. Yeochari area possesses channels with linear pattern and less dense development and accordingly show low D values ranging from 1.037 to 1.038. On other hands, area (near Donggumdo and Yeongjongdo ) of dendrites channel pattern and dense development resulted in high D values from 1.2057 to 1.2667. Also, area possesses channels with linear pattern had low density about $18{\sim}24%$. Area of dendritic channel pattern had high density about $34{\sim}69%$. The difference of fractal dimensions about 0.2 according to channel development in tidal flats is relatively large enough to use as an index for tidal channel classification. Also, area where channels showed linear pattern had low density about $18{\sim}24%$. Area of dendritic channel pattern had high density about $34{\sim}69%$. Using fractal dimension and density, it would be possible to quantify the tidal channel development in association with surface characteristics.

The distribution of tidal current and tidal induced residual current, topographical eddies and tidal residual circulation in the waters surrounding the Geumo Island-An Island channel were identified through numerical model experiments and vorticity balance analysis. Tidal current flows southwest at flood and northeast at ebb along the channel. The maximum flow velocity was about 100-150 cm/s in neap and spring tide. During the flood current in the neap tide, clockwise small eddies were formed in the waters west of Sobu Island and southwest of Daebu Island, and a more grown eddy was formed in the southern waters of Geumo Island in the spring tide. A small eddy that existed in the western waters of Chosam Island during the ebb in neap tide appeared to be a more grown topographical eddy in the northeastern waters of Chosam Island in spring tide. Tidal ellipses were generally reciprocating and were almost straight in the channel. These topographical eddies are made of vorticity caused by coastal friction when tidal flow passes through the channel. They gradually grow in size as they are transported and accumulated at the end of the channel. When the current becomes stronger, the topographic eddies move, settle, spread to the outer sea and grow as a counterclockwise or clockwise tidal residual circulation depending on the surrounding terrain. In the waters surrounding the channel, there were counterclockwise small tidal residual circulations in the central part of the channel, clockwise from the northeast end of the channel to northwest inner bay of An Island, and clockwise and counterclockwise between Daebu Island and An Island. The circulation flow rate was up to 20-30 cm/s. In the future, it is necessary to conduct an experimental study to understand the growth process of the tidal residual circulation in more detail due to the convergence and divergence of seawater around the channel.

조간대의 조류로 발달은 조간대 퇴적물 종류, 입도, 조성 및 조류의 세기 등에 많은 영향을 받는다. 조류로의 발달 특성, 밀도, 형태 등은 조간대의 특징을 분석하는데 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 조류로에 대한 정량적 분석은 시도되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 이번 연구의 목적은 고해상도 위성 영상 자료를 이용하여 조류로에 대한 프랙털 차원 결과와 조류로 발달에 영향을 주는 지형(DEM : Digital Elevation Model)을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 이번 연구에서는 프랙털 분석 중에서 하천 해안 등 선형의 특징에 많은 적용을 하는 box counting 방법을 이용하였다. 연구 지역은 조차가 심한 강화도 남단의 조간대이다. 연구 방법은 IKONOS 영상으로부터 조류로를 추출한 뒤 프랙털 차원을 구하였다. 그 결과 프랙털 차원은 약 $1.0{\sim}1.35$ 정도의 결과 값을 얻었다. 지형이 낮으며 채널의 발달이 미비한 지역(강화도 남단 여차리 부근)에서는 프랙털 차원이 약 $1.0{\sim}1.2$ 정도의 낮은 값을 가지는 반면에 지형이 높고 채널 발달이 수지상으로 잘 발달된 지역(영종도 북단)의 프랙털 차원은 약 $1.20{\sim}1.35$ 정도의 높은 값을 가진다. 이 분석으로부터 프랙털 분석으로 인하여 조류로의 정량적 분류가 가능하며 지역의 지형에 따라서 조류로의 발달 형태가 달라 프랙털 차원 값이 다르다는 결론을 얻었다.

In order to understand the tidal current and mean flow at the west channel of Yeoja Bay in the South Sea of Korea, numerical model experiments and vorticity analysis were carried out. The currents flow north at flood and south at ebb respectively and have the reversing form in the west channel. Topographical eddies are found in the surroundings of Dunbyong Island in the east of the channel. The flood currents flow from the waters near Naro Islands through the west channel and the coastal waters near Geumo Islands through the east channel. The ebb currents from the Yeoja Bay flow out along the west and the east channels separately. The south of Nang Island have weak flows because the island is located in the rear of main tidal stream. Currents are converged at ebb and diverged at flood in the northwest of Jeokgum Island. Tidal current ellipses show reversing form in the west channel but a kind of rotational form in the east channel. As the results of tide induced mean flows, cyclonic and anticyclonic topographical eddies at the northern tip but eddies with opposite spin at the southern tip are found in the west channel of Yeoja Bay. The topographical eddies around the islands and narrow channels are created from the vorticity formed at the land shore by the friction between tidal currents and the west channel.

조간대의 조류로 발달은 조간대 퇴적물종류, 입도, 조성 및 조류의 세기 등 에 많은 영향을 받는다. 따라서 조류로의 발달 특성, 밀도, 형태 등은 조간대의 특징을 분석하는데 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 아직 갯벌의 조류로에 대한 정량적 분석은 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 조류로의 정량적 분류기준으로 프랙탈 분석방법을 제시하고, 발달 정도가 다른 두 지역의 조류로에 대한 적용결과에 대한 정량적 비교를 제시한다. 시험 적용지역인 강화도 남단 조간대에서 얻어진 IKONOS 영상으로부터 조류로를 추출한 뒤, 프랙탈 분석방법 중 2차원 분석에 많이 사용되는 box counting 방법을 적용하여 프랙탈 차원을 구하였다. 분석 결과 강화도 남단 전체 조간대 지역에 대한 프랙탈 차원 값은 약 1.31로 나타났다. 조류로의 지선이 단순하며 남북으로 수직방향으로 발달한 지역은 프랙탈 차원 값이 $1.0563\sim1.0672$로 비교적 적은 값을 나타내는 반면, 조류로의 지선이 발달하고 매우 복잡한 형태를 보이는 곳은 프랙탈 차원 값이 $1.2550\sim1.3016$로 나타났다. 즉, 조류로의 발달정도에 따라 프랙탈 차원 값이 약 0.2 정도로 매우 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내며, 따라서 조류로의 정량적 구분이 프랙탈 분석에 의하여 가능하다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 향후 다른 특성을 갖는 다양한 조간대 지역에 적용하면 조류로의 발달정도와 환경 인자에 대한 정량적 분석이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Tidal Flushing at the entrance channels of tidal bay or estuary in the central western coast of Korea; Gum River Estuary, Garorim Bay, Asan Bay, and Yeomha Estuary were studied with the recent data of current surveys measured by curret meter at three or five anchored stations along the section for one or two tidal periods at mean spring tide. Equilibrium relationship between tidal prism at mean spring tide and minimum flow area below the mean sea level of the channel in alluvial material was found as of O'Brien's (1931, 1969) study. Bed load transport in the tidal channel is balanced with the tidal flushing ability having a mean velocity of about 0.75m/sec or maximum velocity of about 1.25m/sec for a half tidal cycle over the section at mean spring tide which fairly agree with Brunn's study(1955, 1957). flushing actions for different hydraulic depth( mean depth) and bed material size in the channel were reviewed and found that it depend to a minor extent on the factors.

This paper outlines extraction potential of tidal stream resources from the simplified channel in which flow is driven by a head difference between inlet and outlet. Energy extraction alters the flow within a simple channel, and extraction of 10% energy flux in a natural channel would give rise to a flow speed reduction of about 5.7%.

The flow pattern and water mass structure in the Chungmu channel were investigated using the field observations during June and July, 2001. The currents in the channel may be regarded as a hydraulic current decided by difference of tide levels between two sides in the channel. The strongest current in the channel occurs around in high water and low water. The coefficient C to be determined the characteristics of velocity in the channel was obtained from an equation, $u=C{\sqrt{2gh}}$ and ranges from 0.37 to 0.65 in the Chungmu Channel at the spring tide and from 0.23 to 0.37 at the neap tide. Eastward tidal transport is usually larger than that of westward transport in Chungmu the Channel. Sea water exchange rates are 39.2% in spring tide and 20.5% in neap tide respectively. The water mass structure in the channel is changed by the speed of the tidal current. The water mass is well mixed at the high water when the current is strong and is stratified at slack water when the current is weak.

A numerical simulation of a 2-dimensional tidal flow in a shallow sea was performed using the frequency domain finite element method. In this study, to overcome the inherent problems of a time domain model which requires high eddy viscosity and small time steps to insure numerical stability, the harmonic function incorporated with the linearized function of governing equations was applied. Calculations were carried out using the developed tidal model(TIDE) in a rectangular channel of lOm(depth) X 4km (width) X 25km(length) under the condition of tidal waves entering the channel closed at one end for both with and without bottom friction damping. The predicted velocities and water levels at different points of the channel were in close agreement with less than 1 % error between the numerical and analytical solutions. The results showed that the characteristics of the tidal flow were greatly affected by the magnitude of tidal elevation forcing, and not by on surface friction, wind, or the linear bottom friction when the value was less than 0.01. For the optimum size of grid to obtain a consistent solution, the ratio between the length of the maximum grid and the tidal wave length should be less than 0.0018. It was concluded that the finite element tidal model(TIDE) developed in this study could handle the numerical simulation of tidal flows for more complex geometrical conditions.
