A study on hydrodynamic characteristics of artificial upwelling structures

While upwelling regions account for only 0.1% of the ocean surface, they yield over 40% of world's fish catch. Thus it is vary important making upwelling region by various methods. This study was performed to find out basic hydrodynamic characteristics (function, stability..,) of artificial upwelling structures. The hydrodynamic characteristics of artificial upwelling structures can be summarized as follows: 1) The falling velocity of blocks was effected size($l_B$) of blocks than incident current velocity( $V_0$). 2) The falling horizontal distance was reduced as induce of stratification parameters and block' size. 3) Generation of artificial upwelling current was effected by size of structures and incident current. When stratification parameters was about 3.0 and relative height(hs/h) of structures was about $0.125{\sim}0.15$, stable artificial upwelling current was generated in the back-side of structures.
