지난 몇 년 동안, 해안지역에서 산업의 발달과 인구증가로 인해서 육지에서 방출되는 오폐수의 정화 처리 방법이 중요한 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 처리방법으로는, 1차 처리 또는 2차 처리된 것을 수중 방류관을 통해 해안이나 심해 또는, 그 중간지점에서 방출되는데, 오폐수가 방출되면 주변의 해수를 연행하여 플룸, 제트 또는 부양성 제트의 형태로 해수면까지 상승하면서 많이 희석된다. 본 연구는 해양환경관리 및 오폐수 처리에 관한 의사결정과정에서 중요한 해양방류관 설계를 다룬다. Cormix 모델에 조위의 변화와 계절변화에 의한 몇가지 요소를 고려하여 방류수의 궤적과 희석을 다룬다. 본 연구는 방류수의 효과석인 관리를 위한 기본 데이터와 일반배치에 매우 유용하게 활용될 것이다.

A demand of marine outfall system has been much increased for the effective disposal of the wastewater due to population and industrial development at the coastal areas. The outfall system discharges primary or secondary treated effluent into the coastline, or at the deep water, or between these two. The discharge is carried out by constructing a pipeline on the sea bed with a diffuser or with a tunnel, risers and appropriate. The effluent, which has a density similar to that of fresh water, rises to the sea surface forming plume or jet, together with entraining the surrounding salt water and becomes very dilute. Thus there have been growing interests about plume behaviour around the outfall system. Plume or jet discharged from single-port or multi-port diffuser might cause certain impacts on coastal environment. Near field mixing characteristics of discharged water field using CORMIX model have been studied for effective outfall design various conditions on ambient current, depth, flow rate, effluent concentration, diffuser specification, port specification etc.. This kind of analysis is necessary to deal with water quality problems caused by the ocean discharge. The analyzed result was applied to the Pusan Jungang effluent outfall system plan.

The amount of municipal water has been increased rapidly up to now and it is necessary to treat and dispose the wastewater effectively. The recent trend of the effluent disposal system, after treatment, show a nearshore discharge which has an outfall with length somewhere between the shoreline discharge and an extended deepwater outfall. There is no universal solution to municipal water treatment and disposal and each case must be examined on its merits and on economic, technical and environmental bases. In this study we focused mostly on the scientific and engineering aspects of ocean disposal through the outfall. For this purpose, we made an investigation to the near-field characteristics of discharged water and made some comparison with the existing experimental results. We also applied it to the Pusan Jungang Effluent Outfall System, which is planned to build in the Gamchun harbour and will be completed in 2011. The model output showed the trajectoral variation of dilution and mixing behavior for three cases of outfall system. Dilution differences have been simulated and found the highest dilution condition under the different displacement of outfall system. On the basis of these outputs it will be proposed the optimum outfall system type and location.

One of the main purposes for studying waves and their resulting phenomena in a harbor is the prediction of harbor tranquility which gives the workable limit of a harbor. Ship activities within a harbor consists of entering the harbor, mooring, and cargo handling. In cases where cargo handling is not possible, the shipping expenditure becomes a large waste of money. And also the development of a harbor causes the circulation reduced inside the harbor and the unbalanced sediment budget of beach results in an alteration of beach topography. Therefore it is needed to predict the effect of the environmental change because of development and so the prediction of wave transformations does. In this study, we will show a numerical method using the time-stepping hyperbolic mild- slope equation involving refraction, diffraction and reflection, and the surfzone energy dissipation term due to wave breaking is included in the basic equation. Numerical model is established by a finite difference method and applied to the port development plan, Ilgwang harbor, at the east coast of Pusan.

The wind generated circulation model describes the phenomenon based on the following physical assumptions: a) As the horizontal dimension of the flow domain is several orders of magnitude larger than vertical dimension, nearly horizontal flow is realistic. b) The time taken for circulation to develop may effect on the flow domain of the earth's rotation, the contribution of the Coriolis force. c) A flow domain of large dimension results in quite large Reynolds number and the Reynolds stresses are approximated by the turbulent mean velocity gradient. d) The circulation is forced by the shear stresses on the water surface exercised by the wind. Modification made to the depth average approximation of the convective terms and the bed shear stress terms by adopting a certain distribution of current over the depth and laboratory measurements for the bed shear expression. Modification circulation patterns, energy evolution and surface profile gave the significant differences comparing with the classical model results. The modified model results in higher free surface gradients balancing both the free surface shear and the bed shear and consequently to higher surface profiles along the coast.
