Waterline extraction is the one of widely used methods for studying changes in tidal flat environment and coastlines using multi-temporal optical images such as Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+. High dynamics of tidal currents and land reclamation which accelerate sedimentation and/or erosion cause waterline change in tidal flats. The amount of sediment deposited or eroded can be evaluated by precisely estimating waterline changes in tidal flats. The objective of this study is to detect the change of waterlines during 17 years and analyze the trends of erosion and sedimentation in the study areas. The Ganghwado tidal flat on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula was selected. The study area is famous for high dynamics of tidal currents and vast tidal flats. Land reclamation which has been carried out on a large scale is also considered as one of elements that have accelerated the environmental changes in this tidal flat. In this study, we acquired 26 waterlines from Landsat TM and Landsat ETM+ images. We extracted the waterline from each satellite image to generate a digital elevation map (DEM) which was used for reference and to compare with the other waterline which was extracted from DEM having a same tide. The result of comparison well depicted the areas of dominant sedimentation and erosion, and general trends of sedimentation and erosion according to sub-regions are also revealed during the investigation time. Results showed that erosion during a decade was dominant at the west of the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat, while sedimentation was dominant at the wide channel between the Southern Ganghwado tidal flat and the Yeongjongdo tidal flat. This area has been commonly affected by high currents and sedimentation energy. Although we were not able to verify the accuracy of the waterline changes, this result clearly showed the waterline change and therefore, the waterline extraction method used in this study has proven as an effective tool for long term tidal change estimation.

본 연구는 인천 북항과 염하수로 사이의 해역을 대상으로 인천 영종도 준설토투기장건설과 향후 인천만조력발전소 동측방조제 건설시 흐름차폐로 인한 이 해역의 해수유동변화에 대해 연구를 하였다. 이 해역의 해수유동에 대한 예측은 인천북항 영종도 준설토투기장 건설전, 후 상태와 인천만조력발전소 동측방조제를 건설한 경우를 예상하여 3가지 경우에 대해서 수리모형실험을 수행하고, 현장관측치와 비교하여 흐름을 분석하였다. 수치실험결과 영종도 준설투기장건설전, 후 상태에서는 유향과 유속이 비슷한 양상으로 나타나고 있으며, 인천만조력발전소 건설시 동측방조제를 건설한 경우에는 경기만과 흐름차폐로 인하여 흐름 양상이 크게 변화되고 있음을 알았다. 즉, 흐름은 남북방향이 되고, 하류인 경인아라뱃길 주 항로가 되는 호도 하류부인 A, B, C지점에서는 유속이 다소 증가되고 있고, 염하수로 하류부(D)에서는 오히려 유속이 감소되고 있다. 그리고, 세어도 서쪽해역과 방조제 동측해역에서는 유속이 완만한 선회류가 발생하고 있음을 알았다. 본 연구는 인천만조력발전소 건설계획과 향후 경인아라뱃길 운영을 위한 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Because a change in the natural frequencies of a structure indicates structural health problems, monitoring the natural frequencies crucial. Long-term measurement for the Uldolmok tidal current power plant structure has shown that its natural frequencies fluctuate with a constant cycle twice a day. In this study, lab-scale tests to investigate the causes of these natural frequency fluctuations were carried out in a circulating water channel. Three independent variables in the tests that could affect the fluctuation of the natural frequencies were the water level, current velocity, and boundary condition between the specimen and the bottom of the circulating water channel. The experimental results were verified with numerical ones using ABAQUS. It was found that the fluctuation of the natural frequencies was governed by a decrease in stiffness due to the boundary condition much more than the effect of added mass. In addition, it was found that the natural frequency would decrease with an increase in the tidal current velocity because of its nonlinearity when the boundary condition was severely deteriorated due to damage.

The changes of tidal characteristics of Kyonggi-Bay Region after the Large Reclamations in the Inchon Coastal Area have been studied by the numerical modelling. The constructions of Inchon International Airport and Sihwa Seadike were considered as the main reclaimation projects in this region. A two dimensional hydrodynamic model was used for this study, and it was composed in relatively high resolution with curvilinear orthogonal coordinate. As the results, at the Inchon harbor and Palmido, where a deep channel is developed, the semi tidal ranges(Z$_0$) were decreased in 8 cm after the two reclamations. However, the Z$_0$ values in the outside of the deep channel were decreased only in 2~4 cm, so that the tidal changes in the deep channel were greater than in the outside of it. After the reclamations, the maxmum velocity was increased 17% at the Inchon harbor, however it was decreased from 1. 55 m/s to 1.10 m/s at the Palmido. This is because the available area in which the stream may spread out was largely reduced after the reclamations. An Asan-bay region, the Z$_0$ was decreased in 5 cm at the Punyang-man and Asan-man stations located after the reclamations in Inchon coastal area. However the changes of Z$_0$ were very little at the outside of Asan-bay. In Asan-bay, the current velocity and direction were little influenced by the reclamations in Inchon coastal area.

The Saemangeum tidal flat with an area of approxirnately $233km^2$ is one of the biggest estuarine tidal flats on the west coast of Korea. Because of its location in the estuary of Mangyeong and Dongjin Rivers, the tidal flat receives large amount of sediments. A 33-km long sea dyke, enclosing a coastal zone of $401km^2$, was constructed to reclaim tidal flat in the Saemangeum area. The dyke construction radically changes the local tidal current regime and estuarine circulation. These have an effect on sedimentary environments in the tidal flat. On the tidal flats of the study area net deposition occurred, but net erosion occurred near tidal channel in 2004. The comparison of topography and surface sediments in summer 2004 with those in summer 1988 before the dyke construction showed that elevation increased with maximum 80cm and mean grain sizes were fining at Gwanghwal tidal flats. Sedimentary facies of two cores from Gwanghwal tidal flat revealed homogeneous layers in the upper part suggesting rapid deposition after the dyke construction. The sedimentation rate in Gwanghwal tidal flat(GW 6) using $^{210}Pb$ analysis was about 5.4cm/yr which is well matched with the sedimentation pattern revealed by change in topography.

The tides, tidal currents and tidal prisms at Inchon Harbor are studied with recent data. The tides at Inchon Harbor is of semi-diurnal type having a spring range of 798cm and a phase age of 2 days. The monthly mean sea level at Inchon has a maximum at August and a minimum at January with a annual range of about 40cm. the tidal currents at Inchon Outer Harbor are of semi-diurnal type same as tides and nearly reversing type. The flood and ebb currents set north and south with a velocity of about 90-175 cm/sec and 120-225 cm/sec at spring tide and begin 0.2 hours after L.W. and 0.7 hours after H. W., respectively. Non-tidal currents flow southward with 10-20 cm/sec at west side of the stream and northward with 15-20 cm/sec at east side of the stream at Inchon Outer Harbor. The flood volume through the Inchon Outer Harbor fluctuates fortnightly from 590 10$\^$6/㎥ spring tide to 260 $10^6/m^3$ at neap tide and ebb volume changes from 470 $10^6/m^3$ at spring tide to 200 $10^6/m^3$ at neap tide, respectively. The flow area along the channel to the Estuary of Yeomha is controlled by the tidal prism as expressed by $A=1.14{\times}10^{-4}P^{0.966}$

Korean shipbuilding companies have sometimes carried out sea trials to measure a vessel's speed performance around the western channel of the Straits of Korea, where the flow fields are very complicated because of the effect of various flows such as sea, tidal, geostrophic, and wind-driven currents. Because these flows seem to present significant interference to a ship, the numerical reproduction of the flow-fields in the vicinity of the target sites could provide a better understanding of the sea environments while performing sea trials. In this study, we used the MEC ocean model to simulate the tidal currents around Tsushima Island and compared the simulated tidal amplitudes and currents with the measurements of Teague et al. (2001). The tidal amplitudes of the present simulation results agreed well with the observations. Based on the numerical simulation, the optimal direction and proper sites for a speed trial are described.

Due to the global warming, the need to secure the alternative resources has become more important worldwide. Having very strong current on the west coast with up to 10 m tidal range, there are many suitable sites for the application of TCP(Tidal current power) in Korea. Not only from the current produced from the high tidal range, but also it can be widely applied to the offshore jetties and piers. The VAT(Vertical axis turbine) system could be very effective tidal device to extract the energies from the attacking flow to the structures. For the relatively slow current speed, the VAT system could be more effective application than HAT(Horizontal axis turbine) device. The performance of VAT can be evaluated by various parameters including number of blades, shape, sectional size, diameters and etc. The paper introduces the multi-layer vertical axis tidal current power system with savonius turbine. The turbine was designed with consideration of optimal blade numbers and the performance was simulated by CFD analysis.

경기만 한강 하구역에 대한 지속적인 연안개발에 따른 해양 환경변화의 예측 및 평가에 수치모델이 사용되어 왔지만 기존의 연구들은 조간대의 불규칙한 지형 재현의 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비정규 격자체계의 수치모델을 적용하여 강화남단 조간대에서 조수로 지형에 따른 해상도의 조절이 한강 하구역의 조석과 잔차 수송량 변화특성 산정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악하였다. 이를 위하여 격자 구성 시 조수로의 해상도를 주변 해상도와 동일하게 재현한 실험 A와 조수로의 해상도를 주변의 해상도에 비해 높게 재현한 실험 B를 수행하였다. 각 실험 별 관측치와 모델치의 $M_2$ 분조의 진폭에 대해 평균제곱근오차와 절대상대오차를 계산해본 결과, 두 평균제곱근오차의 차이와 절대상대오차의 차이가 한강 상류와 석모수로 해역에서 약 40% 이상으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 격자 구성 시 조수로의 지형에 따라 해상도를 조절하는 것이 한강 하구역에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 잔차 수송량의 변화특성을 파악하기 위하여 염하수로 입구(초지대교 인근: Line 1)와 염하수로 남단(영종대교 남단: Line 2)에서 관측한 단면유속자료로부터 계산된 잔차 수송량을 모델 별로 비교하였다. 각 실험 별로 산정된 Lagrangian 순 질량 수송량은 각 항마다 정도의 차이는 보이지만 전반적으로 조수로의 지형에 따라 해상도를 조절하지 않은 실험 A가 해상도를 조절한 실험 B보다 약 2배 이상 과다산정 된 경향을 볼 수 있었다. 이 연구를 통하여 조간대의 조수로 지형이 조간대 모의 뿐만 아니라 수치모델의 전반적인 해수 유동장에도 큰 영향을 미치고 넓은 조간대 및 수심경사가 큰 조수로 지형을 가진 지역에서의 잔차 수송량 특성을 이해하기 위해서는 수치모의 시 조간대의 조수로 지형을 충분히 반영할 수 있도록 격자를 구성해야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
