Ocean circulation in the Northeast Pacific Ocean is simulated using a high-resolution primitive equation numerical model with realistic bottom topography. The goal is to explain better the details of observed interannual variability of the circulation in the Gulf of Alaska. Our numerical model suggests that there is no seasonal shift in the Alaska gyre and that the interannual variability. reported earlier, is most likely the result of embedded mesoscale eddies in the dynamic topography. Such eddies have been observed in hydrographic. satellite-tracked drifters and altimeter data from the Gulf of Alaska.

Numerical models have been widely used to understand the structure of coastal currents and the transport mechanisms in regard to the fate of pollutants. This study focuses on the development of a three-dimensional model of coastal circulation and mass transport. The model was used to calculate coastal currents and temperature distributions of the thermal plume discharged from a power plant. The model results were compared with field-observed data. They showed the relatively good agreements with the data. The model can be used to estimate the currents and its mass transport in coastal waters.

The dominant source of noise in a sea-connected piping system is usually due to a seawater cooling pump which circulates seawater to operate onboard equipments normally, and so its water-borne noise with some tonal frequencies should be reduced using proper silencers. In order to obtain the transmission loss of water-borne noise silencers experimentally the present paper suggests a transfer function technique that acoustic wave in the piping system is decomposed into its incident and transmitted components when the reflection at the termination of the system exists. Good agreement in the interested frequency range with theory and the proposed technique shows the validity of the technique.

복수기의 원활한 열교환에 필요한 냉각수를 공급하기 위해 순환수펌프는 해수를 끌어들이는 역할을 한다. 각종 해양생물이나 이물질 등으로 인해 순환수펌프의 작동이 멈추는 경우가 간헐적으로 발생하고 있는 데, 이렇게 되면 복수기 튜브 쪽으로 유입되는 순환수 유량은 정상상태보다 줄어들게 된다. 이를 무시하고 원전터빈을 계속 고출력으로 가동시키면 복수기 내부의 전공도가 악화되어 작동이 정지되는 상황을 맞을 수 있으므로 터빈출력을 적정한 수준으로 낮추는 작업이 필요하다. 본 연구는 순환수펌프의 작동수 및 해수온도를 고려하여 터빈의 적정출력을 산정하고 이를 도표화하여 제시하였다. 분석결과를 기존의 운전데이터와 비교검토한 결과 대체로 일치하고 있어 운전조건을 안정적으로 유지하는 데 도움이 될 전망이다.

Due to the impermeability of outer wall facilities such as Breakwaters which dissipates the wave energy and keeps harbor tranquility, the enclosed area of harbor becomes partially blocked and the water exchange can be reduced. Recent trends of port development protect water quality and emphasize Water-Front, so the method which enhances the circulation of harbor waters and the dilution of the water pollutants are studied. The best improvement of water quality is a remove of pollutant source on land, but an enclosed port must be enhanced the tidal exchange. For this end, the best improvement may be made a drain-route on the existing outer wall facilities. In this study, the numerical computations were carried out to predict the circulation of harbor waters and the tidal exchange through the drain-rout in the polluted harbor(Samchonpo-guhang) located at the east coast of South Sea. Computational models adopting FDM(Finite Difference Method) were used here and were already verified from the previous studies und ocean survey. As a result of this study, circulation and the tidal exchange at the harbor before and after introduction of drain-route were assessed.

It has been demonstrated for the finite-difference ocean circulation model that the problem of uncertain forcing and input data can be tackled with an optimization techniques. The uncertainty problem in interesting flow properties is exploring a finite difference ocean circulation model due to the uncertainty in the driving boundary conditions. The mathematical procedure is based upon optimization method by the conjugate gradient method using the simulated data and a simple barotropic model. An example for the ocean circulation model is discussed in which wind forcing and the steady-state circulation are determined from a simulated stream function.

Using the hydraulic and numerical model of semi-enclosed bay (Chinhae Bay), the efficiencies of flow-control structures on the seawater-circulation in the inner bay were investigated. Expecially, this study was confirmed the effectiveness of the flow-control structures at the mouth and narrow channel of Chinhae Bay through the experiments. The system of flow-control structures could enhance the water exchange improvement appropriately. The results of this study can be used as the long-term and integrated environmental impact assessment model in the inner bay.

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.
