유체의 특성을 나타내는 인자 중에 침강속도에 큰 영향을 미치는 인자 중 하나는 염도(salinity)이다. 염도는 부유사 입자의 응집을 촉진시키고, 입자의 응집은 더욱 큰 침강속도를 초래하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유체의 염도가 침강특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 서로 다른 염도조건(담수와 염수)에서 고령토 퇴적물에 대한 침강실험을 수행하고, 그 결과를 비교 분석하여 염도가 침강특성에 미치는 영향을 정성적 정량적으로 해석하였다.

본 연구는 호소내 오염된 퇴적물 처리를 위한 전처리 장치로 Hydrocyclone의 이용가능 성을 평가하는 실험이다. 외국의 선행 연구자인 Rietema의 표준 규격을 참고하여 제작된 Hydrocyclone을 이용하여 기흥저수지 퇴적물로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 입자에 따른 오염 도 평가에서는 입자가 작을수록 포함된 오염물의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 퇴적물을 이용한 장치특성 및 운전조건 변화에 따른 실험에서 공급속도가 빠르고, 공급시료의 농도가 낮으며, 장치의 크기가 작을수록 입자별 분리효율이 높았다.

A series of settling tests and physico-chemical property tests on Saemankeum fine-cohesive sediments has been conducted in order to investigate the correlation between settling properties and their physico-chemical properties which are represented as grain size distribution, mineralogical composition, and percentage of organic contents. Experimental results of physico-chemical property tests show that Saemankeum sediments are relatively large in average grain size(52${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), and contain very small organic materials(2%), and are dominantly composed of Quarts in mineralogical aspect which has relatively low cohesion. Thus, Saemankeum sediments might be specified as the sediments whose settling properties are more influenced by the gravity than the cohesion. This characteristics of Saemankeum sediments are found to lead to relatively small settling velocity in flocculated settling region in which increasing cohesion results in increasing settling velocity, while relatively large settling velocity in hindered settling region in which settling velocity decreases with increasing cohesion.

A 5∼12m thick tideland has been created in front of a new sea-dyke due to the rapid sedimentation occurring for 22 years. It is confirmed from theoretical analysis and soil tests that the deposit is in under-consolidation state. An analysis shows that when the average sedimentation rate is over 1-5cm/year for a soil with $c_v$=0.0005-0.001$cm^2$/s, excess pore water pressure exists in the deposit. It is known that the lower sedimentation rate than average in the initial deposition stage results in lower dissipation of excess pore pressure and vice versa. It is emphasized that under-consolidation behavior should be taken account in settlement analysis because structures founded on such deposits give higher settlements.

To investigate the in-situ sound velocity of sediment in the southwestern part of the East Sea, the laboratory sound velocity was measured using the pulse transmission technique. The sediment sound velocity measured in laboratory was corrected to in-situ sound velocity based on the seafloor temperature, seawater sound velocity, Kim et al. (2004) model, and Hamilton (1980) model. The distribution of the corrected in-situ sound velocity applying Kim et al. (2004) and Hamilton (1980) models reflects the characteristics of sediments of the study area and shows a similar distribution pattern. The correction for in-situ sound velocity was mostly influenced by seafloor temperature. Then, correction of sound velocity using seafloor sediment temperature data should be accomplished for conversion of laboratory data to in-situ sound velocity.

환형수조는 점착성 퇴적물의 이송특성 연구를 위해 가장 선호되는 실험 장치로 알려져 있다. 과거 많은 연구자들은 퇴적물의 이송특성, 특히 침식/퇴적 특성 조사를 위해 주로 수로를 이용한 실험적 연구를 수행하였는데, 최초의 실험적 연구들은 주로 직선수조에서 수행되었다. 그러나 입자간의 응집이 중요한 역할을 하는 점착성 퇴적물의 경우에, 직선수조 끝단에서의 자유낙하 및 재순환 펌프의 날개에 의해 응집된 토사가 쉽게 분리될 수 있어 그 타당성이 의문시 되어 왔으며, 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 환형수조가 고안되었다. 환형수조는 수면과 접하여 회전하는 상부링의 마찰력에 의해 흐름이 생성되기 때문에 시간의 제약 없이 흐름조건을 동일하게 만들 수 있다는 큰 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 환형수조는 원주유속의 속도차이 및 원심력으로 인한 2차 순환류를 형성시켜 반경 방향(radial direction)에서의 바닥전단응력을 불균일하게 하는 단점을 갖는다. 이러한 2차 순환류와 바닥전단응력의 불균일을 저감시키기 위하여 환형수조의 몸체를 상부링의 회전 방향과 역방향으로 직접 회전시키는 방법이 채택되어져 왔다. 한편, 환형수조의 상부링과 몸체를 서로 역방향으로 동시에 회전시키는 양방향 회전(counter-rotation)의 적용을 위해서는 2차 순환류가 최소가 되며 바닥전단응력이 균일해지는 최적 회전속도비에 대한 분석은 필수적 사항이다. 이를 위하여, 상부링과 몸체의 회전속도에 따라 변화하는 수조내부의 흐름특성 및 평균바닥전단응력에 대한 연구가 선행되어야만 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학을 이용하여 전북대에 설치된 환형수조의 상부링과 몸체의 회전속도에 따라 변화하는 수조내부에서의 흐름특성 및 바닥전단응력에 대한 분석이 수행되었다. 또한, 이를 기초로, 환형수조의 최적 회전속도비 산출을 위한 연구가 수행 중에 있다. 이러한 결과들은 추후 환형수조를 이용한 점착성 퇴적물의 침식/퇴적 등과 같은 이송특성 연구시, 퇴적물에 작용하는 흐름조건의 정밀산정을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Physical properties of mudbelt sediments in the southeastern inner shelf of Korea are studied from 14 cores. Physical properties, compressional wave velocity, and sediment texture for core sediments are analyzed. The major source of sediment in the study area is the Nakdong River. Fine-grained sediments from the river are transported northeastward by coastal circulation and the Tsushima Current, resulting in a gradual northeastward increase in porosity and a decrease in wet bulk density and velocity. The trend matches well with the bathymetry. The mean grain size appears to be the most important variable to determine the physical properties and velocity. The variations of physical properties with burial depth are dependent more strongly on sediment texture than compaction and/or consolidation. Correlations between the physical properties and the sediment texture show slight deviations from those of the continental terrace sediment in the North Pacific and inner shelf sediment in the South Sea of Korea. The velocity is higher than that of the North Pacific and the South Sea sediments between these areas. This is probably due to differences in sedimentary, environment and mineral compositions. The higher sediment velocity in the study area may also be attributed to the escape of gas from pore space which decreases void ratio.

Laboratory determination of acoustic property for unconsolidated sediment of Kwangyang Bay was carried out. The compressional wave velocity was correlated to other physical properties and sediment textures to establish a geoacoustic model of the bay. The model was compared to the North Pacific continental terrace sediment. Velocity of the bay is systematically lower(0.02-0.04km/s) than that of the North Pacific. Average velocity of the bay is 1.521km/s. The lowest velocity is measured at the southwestern part of the bay. This area coincides with high amount of fine-grained sediment related to slower circulation. The overall tendency is, however, similar to the North Pacific continental terrace sediment.

To predict the effects of nutrient releasing on the water quality of Namyang Reservoir, nutrient releasing rates from sediments in oxic and anoxic conditions were estimated in a small microcosm. Organics and nitrogens were not released. The releasing pattern of inorganic phosphate and total phosphorus was depend on the oxygen concentration. The releasing rate of inorganic phosphate and total phosphorus in oxic condition was $1.01\sim2.48$ and $2.14\sim3.54$ mg-P/$m^2$/day, respectively. It was high in the upstream sediments indicating the particles containing easily degradable organic compounds are flowed into the area. Because the depth of Namyang Reservoir at the downstream adjacent to the Dam is $7\sim14$ m, the condition of most area of sediment surface will be oxic. Based on these results, the appropriate counterplans are required to reduce phosphorus release in oxic conditions to control water pollution.
