To describe the behavior of suspended-sediment particles in turbulent open-channel flows, the advection-diffusion equation or its simplified form has been used. Though this equation was derived upon several assumptions, only a few studies tried to evaluate the limit of the assumptions. The reason is that it is very difficult to measure turbulence in open-channel flows and to discriminate the velocities of water and sediment particles. The present study aims to measure the velocity profiles of water and sediment particles in open-channel flows by using PTV (Particle Tracking Velocimetry), a kind of PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry). The measured results showed that sediment particles moved slower than water tracers did in the outer region. In the present study, the amount of velocity-lag reached about $5\%$ of the mom flow velocity and the position of the maximum velocity-lag was $g/h\approx0.05\;(g^{+}=30\~50)$ The main cause of the velocity-lag of sediment particles seems that the sediment particles have larger density than water has. On the other hand, in the viscous sublayer, sediment particle has a larger velocity than water tracers. The reason of the inversion of velocity-lag may be due to the no-sleep condition of water at the solid boundaries.

하천의 합류부는 서로 다른 지형학적 특성과 수리학적 특성을 가지는 두 개의 하천이 하나로 합쳐지는 구간으로 급격한 흐름의 변화 및 퇴적물의 유입과 수리학적 지형변화가 발생하는 구간이다. 이러한 합류부에서는 흐름구조와 물의 물리 화학적인 특성이 지속적으로 변화할 수 있고, 침식과 퇴적으로 인한 하상변동과 같은 하도 변화가 발생할 수 있다. 또한, 하천의 합류부는 두 지류가 만나 형성되는 지역으로 하천생태계에서 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 구간이다. 이러한 합류부 구간의 혼합 매커니즘을 이해하기 위해서는 지류의 다양한 유입조건에 따른 본류와의 수체혼합의 공간적인 패턴을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 대부분의 합류부 연구들은 실측에 기반한 공간적인 수체혼합의 패턴 분석의 어려움으로 인해 수리 및 수질 수치모형에 의존하여, 실측자료에 기반하여 지류의 유입에 따른 수체혼합을 공간적으로 분석하는 연구는 매우 제한적이었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 ADCP를 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 현상을 규명하는 인자로 유속과 수심 등 기본적인 수리학적 인자들뿐만 아니라 최근 활발하게 연구되고 있는 ADCP의 초음파반사율을 활용하여 상이한 농도의 유사가 혼합되는 양상을 측정하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 공간적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 초음파반사율은 부유사와 관련되는 인자로 SonTek ADCP 이동식으로 측정된 SNR자료를 확산, 물에 의한 흡수를 고려하여 보정한 후 3차원 혼합거동의 공간적인 분포를 도출하였다. 그리고 초음파반사율을 활용한 방식을 검증하고 지류와 본류의 유입 전후 입도분포를 확인하기 위해 LISST 측정을 수행하였고, 드론 영상을 활용하여 유입 유사의 2차원 공간적인 분포를 확보하여 초음파반사율을 활용한 방법과 비교하였다. ADCP, LISST, 드론의 계측자료는 낙동강과 남강 합류부에서 측정되었고, ADCP로부터 제공되는 유속, 수심자료의 공간적인 분포를 분석하여 합류부의 수리특성을 분석할 수 있었고, 초음파반사율을 유사 혼합의 공간적 특성을 규명하는 인자로 활용하여 본류와 지류의 유입량에 따른 다양한 유사 혼합의 3차원 공간적인 패턴을 분석할 수 있었다.

Seawater intake systems have significant problems due to seawater pollution, suspended solids, unstable intake and maintenance etc. An underground type seawater intake system was newly developed to overcome the existing weaknesses and was facilitated in Gyukpo port. In this study, to check the performance of the new system, the samples for water quality and the 3-D numerical modeling test were conducted. The five times test included the COD, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, pH, and suspended solid for the intake system. The analyses show that the COD, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, PH showedminor changes before and after. On the other hand, the change in suspended solids was significant and water was purified below 5 mg/l, first level fisheries water, after. The numerical model adopted the RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ algorithm and the CFX model based on the finite volume method. The porosity algorithm was used to reproduce filtered-sand, outer diameter, and thickness. The numerical results showed that the double pipe is advantageous in that it provides a uniform pressure between the inner and outer pipe for the flow to be stable. In addition, the use of multiple intake pipes did not interfere with the discharge reduction of 0.98 at the both intake pipes compared with the central intake pipe.

Tidal asymmetry would occur owing to shallow water tides at the Western Coast of macro tidal area. Especially, as ebb dominance of Mokpo coastal zone is known as the most prominent in Korea, it had been studied by domestic researchers. The cause of ebb dominance in Mokpo area is considered due to extensive inter-tidal zone in Muan Bay, and this has been studied based on amplification ratio, relative phase and skewness of tide/tidal flow curves in order to analyze qualitative tidal asymmetry. Furthermore, it was possible to figure out tidal characteristics with the difference of tidal amplitude and phase with Mokpo Harbor by observing the tide for 15 days in Muan Bay, which showed 40 minutes shorter ebbing time than at Mokpo Harbor. In addition, tidal flow prediction data in Mokpo North Harbor and Mokpo-Gu were analyzed. Meanwhile, the basis regarding qualitative interpretation of bed sediment and suspended sediment was provided by examining the qualitative changes in tidal asymmetry for spring-neap tidal cycle through the PCA/SWA indices. In addition, by examining long-term changes of ebb dominance in Mokpo Port, tidal characteristics of the past, present and future in this area, which is related to tidal asymmetry, is also provided.
