Abstract

The numerous investments have been introduced to design and assess mixing zone characteristics of wastewater discharges to the ocean. Specially It strive to meet water quality standard for persistent and bio-accumulative chemical contaminants at the point of discharge through continual improvement pollution prevention measures and other voluntary measures in the developed country. The goals that of this paper are to emphasize the regulatory mixing zone is defined as an allocated impact zone where the numeric water quality criteria may be exceeded as long as acutely toxic conditions are prevent. Furthermore, mixing zones be limited to an area or volume as small as practicable that with not interfere with the designated uses or the established community of aquatic life in the segment for which the uses are designated and the shape be a simple configuration that is easy to locate in the body of water and avoids impingement on biologically important areas and the shore hugging plumes should be avoided This results should be used with caution in evaluation the mixing zone characteristics of a discharge and only in conjunction with information from the effective marine outfall design as well as for the sound harbour design. Thus the numerical investigation using CORMIX has been performed to show the regulatory mixing zone in the near and far field of the marine outfall.

해양에 방류되는 오폐수의 흐름형태 즉 흔합특성을 제어하고 설계하기 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근 들어 선진국을 중심으로 바람직한 수질관리를 목표로 법적혼합역과 관련한 수질기준을 정하여 오염무의 방류로 인한 해양수질환경의 오염을 최소화하고자 하는 노력이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 근역 및 원역에서의 법적혼합역을 CORMIX 모델로 구현하고 법적혼합역의 필요성을 강조하며 이를 효율적으로 규제하기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이는 보다 개선된 방류수 모델링을 제안하고 나아가 효율적인 해양방류관 설계뿐 아니라 건전한 항만의 설계 및 개발에 기여할 것이다.
