Mixing zone characteristics of the wastewater effluents discharged from an ocean outfall have been investigated using an outfall mixing zone analysis method. This analysis was applied to Sokcho ocean outfall case and was used to simulate the concentration distribution of wastewater effluents. Hourly concentration distributions of outfall effluent discharges were averaged for the period of 15 days. The results show that near-field dilution was relatively high with the dilution of 130 for the winter season.

1922년 R. L. Parshall이 고안한 파샬플륨은 현재 사용되고 있는 개수로 유량계로서는 가장 많은 실험자료를 보유하고 있다. 위어에 비해 설치가 어렵고 경제성이 떨어지는 단점도 있지만 설치 후에는 상대적으로 다른 시설보다 토사이동이 원활하다는 장점이 있어 하수 및 폐수 등의 유량측정에 많이 적용되고 있다. 용담저수지의 주요 지천인 금강본류와 구량천 2곳에는 국가가 관리하는 수위관측소가 있다. 설치지점의 지명을 따 동향수위관측소와 천천수위관측소로 운용되고 있으며, 동향수위관측소 약 170 m 하류와 천천수위관측소 약 2.5 km 상류 2곳에 갈수기 유량조사를 위한 파샬플륨이 설치되었다. 동향파샬프륨과 천천파샬플륨은 갈수기 유량을 고려하여 Iso 9826의 파샬플륨 번호 10(Parshall flume No. 10)과 유사한 규격(설치당시 목부(Throat)폭 5ft))으로 설계되었으며, 플륨으로 흐름을 유도하는 유입부(Entrance section) 좌 우 횡단방향에 보를 연결하여 상대적으로 하폭이 넓은 자연하천에 적용하였다. 수년간의 현장운용 결과, 파샬플륨의 가장 큰 장점이었던 원활한 토사이동이 보로 인해 차단되고, 누적된 토사가 흐름을 왜곡시킴으로서 플륨내 수위로부터 환산한 유량값에 비교적 큰 오차를 발생시 킬 수 있음을 알게 되었다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제의 원인이 상류에 누적된 토사에 있음을 규명하고 대처방안을 제시하기위해 동향파샬플륨을 대상으로 수행되었다. 플륨을 통한 유량자료의 신뢰도는 (1) 플륨내 정밀유량측정, (2) 50 m 하류에서의 도섭법에 의한 유량측정 그리고 (3) 130 m 하류에서의 도섭법에 의한 유량측정을 통하여 비교 및 검증하였다. 조사결과 플륨내 수위는 상류에 퇴적된 토사로 인해 일정하지 않으며 이로 인해 유량에 오차가 발생하고 있음이 확인되었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 자연하천에서의 파샬플륨 적용을 위해 토사이동을 고려한 설비의 구조개량을 병행하였다. 새로운 형태의 파샬플륨은 '에코플륨'이라 명명하였으며 원활한 토사이동과 인공구조물에 의한 자연경관 훼손을 방지할 수 있는 두 가지의 효과가 기대된다. 현재 실물모형의 제작이 완료되어 실내실험을 수행하고 있으며, 머지않은 장래에 현장설치가 가능하다고 판단된다.

The winter case of the near-field dilution at the Masan outfalls has been studied by field measurements and CORMIX model simulations. Dilution rates of the wastewater discharge in winter were obtained by a salinity deficit method using the field data observed in the neap tidal period of February, 1999. The observed dilution rates in winter season were found to be very high in the range of 90～130 due to the isopycnal mixing of ambient density compared with the summer range of 30～40 under weak neap tidal currents. The results of CORMIX model simulations also show that the winter dilution rates under a weak ambient current(Ua=6.0ms/s) were increased by 3-fold of the summer dilution rates. However, the difference between two seasons becomes small by 30% under a strong current(Ua=15.5cm/s). This result indicates that the dilution and hydrodynamic mixing process of the effluents are more influenced by ambient crossflow condition than by ambient density stratification at the outfalls site.

The temporal variability in near-field mixing characteristics of discharging plumes in oceanic environment was investigated using the time series data of the buoyant jet parameters. Based on the currents and density profiles observed in Masan outfall site and effluent discharge flowrates for 63days of summer season, the temporal variabilities and those occurrence frequency were obtained by line plume equations. The results show that wide range of variability in Masan outfall's mixing characteristics was found due to the temporal changes of effluent flowrates and ambient oceanic conditions. The near-field dilution was in the range of 30~71 with the averaged dilution of 34, which was a good agreement with field measurements of salinity deficit. The length of mixing zone was in the range of 5.4~36.2 m with the average of 9.5 m, and the plume rise height was in the range of 8.1~10.2 m with the average of 8.9 m. However, only the 30~44% of the whole results are higher than the averages, which indicates the necessity of this frequency analysis with the continuously measured data for designing and managing the ocean outfall system.

In this paper, we have obtained the initial and near-field dilution rates of wastewaters discharged from the ocean outfall of Masan-Changwon municipal wastewater treatment plant from both of field measurements and CORMIX model simulations. In the summer of 1998, water temperature and salinity profiles was measured at 16 stations in the vicinity of the Masan outfall and the dilution rates were analyzed by salinity deficit method. The transport of the wastefields and their initial dilution rates were calculated by CORMIX model using field data as model input. Both of observed and predicted results are shown In very low dilutions with the range of 32～48 from the field data analysis and 29～43 from the model prediction, respectively. This indicates that the water quality in the Masan outfall area can be worsening due to the low dilution rates of diswastewaters, especially, when the ambient currents are very weak in a neap tide and ambient water density is highly stratified in summer.
