An Experimental Study on the Sea Water Flow in Bay

만내의 해수유동에 관한 실험적 연구

Recently, the water pollution of coastal sea area including harbor, bay and inland sea has been very serious and it causes various environmental impacts. In this study, water flow system of Danghang Bay, which has the narrow and long topographical characteristics with the narrow bay mouth and its flow is influenced principally by the tidal current, is investigated experimentally and numerically. In order to understand the tidal system of Danghang Bay, harmonic analysis is performed based on measured tidal range and flow velocity In addition, numerical model for tidal exchange is developed considering conditions of Danghang Ray. Calculated results show good agreement with measurements. Lastly. based on the proposed numerical model, exchange ratio of seawater volume in Danghang Bay is predicted.
