Abstract
For the improvement of water quality in a harbor, several studies have been carried out on SEB (Seawater Exchange Breakwater) in recent years, but a problem has been shown whereby the water on the inside area far from the SEB cannot be easily exchanged. In order to solve the problem of the SEB, the Manifold channel, a new concept of the SEB, is introduced in this paper. By using the manifold channel, it is possible to exchange the water of the inside area for seawater from the outside. Here, to assess the outflow gates of the manifold channel governing flow behavior, a virtual manifold channel controlled the location, width and direction of outflow gates applied to the Jumunjin fishery port, where the SEB has been established. In addition, the desirable flow pattern of the port by utilizing the two layer current model is identified, and five general cases of the manifold channel are described in this paper. The model is verified by comparing with observation of the SEB model, and the results are in general agreement. From the results of the manifold channel, in the case of the Jumunjin fishery port, the small circulation of counter clockwise is necessary for the water exchange on the inside area, but it should be controlled by the outflow gates for other areas. Using the two layer current model, the desirable flow pattern of the port can be predicted, and the water exchange for the upper and lower layer can be examined. For the practical use of the manifold channel, further studies on the manifold channel will be necessary, and it may then be used broadly for the design of breakwater in the future.
최근 친환경항만(Eco-port)을 건설하려는 노력과 쾌적한 워터프론트 개발에 관한 관심이 고조되면서, 항만의 방파제를 중심으로 수질개선을 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 항 내의 수질개선을 위한 연구로서 최근 해수교환방파제가 주목받고 있지만, 여전히 항 내 안쪽의 영역에서는 해수교환방파제로부터 유입된 해수가 도달하지 못하여 해수의 순환이 잘 안 되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 해수교환방파제의 단점을 보완하고자, 다기수로라는 새로운 개념의 해수교환방파제를 도입하여, 항 내 안쪽 영역까지 해수의 순환을 촉진할 수 있는 방법을 모색하였다. 이를 위해서 현재 해수교환방파제가 설치된 주문진 항에 가상의 다기수로를 설치하고, 수중유출구의 위치, 크기, 방향을 제어하여 해수유입에 따른 항 내 유동패턴을 비교 검토하고, 해수순환을 촉진시킬 수 있는 방법을 모색하였다.
