The EFDC model has been simplified to enhance the computing performance in hydrodynamic modeling. Water quality module and unnecessary conditional statements were deleted in subroutine list and memory allocation. The performance of the enhanced model (EFDC-E) was checked by applying EFDC and EFDC-E models to simulating the tidal flow in Mokpo coastal zone. Both two-dimensional models and threedimensional models have been applied and compared. Three-dimensional models showed better simulation results agreeing with observed currents than two-dimensional models. The simulation results of EFDC-E model gave good results agreeing with the simulation results of EFDC model and the observed data. The computing speed of EFDC-E model is improved 3 times faster than that of EFDC model in modeling hydrodynamic flow for real time of 3 days in both 2-dimensional modeling and 3-dimensional modeling. The EFDC-E model can be used widely for hydrodynamic modeling because of improved simulation speed.

EFDC model, which is capable of handling both hydrodynamic and water quality analysis has come to use for many recent studies. In order to assess the applicability of the EFDC model, it was applied to Nakdong river. Hydrodynamic and water quality analysis were carried out for Nakbon GH and HI sections chosen as the area of study with gaged data from 2008 to 2009. The comparison was made between water quality simulation results and observed data over water temperature, COD, TOC, DO, TN and TP. On the contrary, a conversion formula was derived to calculate BOD which the EFDC model cannot directly calculates and it was compared to measured data. In this study, it was determined that the EFDC model well represents the behavior of both hydrodynamics and water quality. However, further research on COD, TOC and accurate conversion of BOD needs to be conducted for efficient application to domestic water quality analysis.

The Yeongsan river estuary has a serious water quality problem due to the water stagnation and it is imperative to predict the changes of water quality for mitigating water pollution. EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) model was mainly utilized to predict the changes of water quality for the estuary. The EFDC modeling normally accompanies the large volume of modeling output. For checking the spatial distribution of the modeling results, post-processing for converting of the output is prerequisite and mainly post-processing program is EFDC_Explorer. However, EFDC_Explorer only shows the spatial distribution of the time series and this doesn't support overlay function with other thematic maps. This means the impossible to the connection analysis with a various GIS data and high dimensional analysis. Therefore, this study aims to develop a post-processing system of a EFDC output to use them as GIS layers. For achieving this purpose, a editing module for main input files, and a module for converting binary format into an ASCII format, and a module for converting it into a layer format to use in a GIS based environment, and a module for visualizing the reconfigured model result efficiently were developed. Using the developed system, result file is possible to automatically convert the GIS based layer and it is possible to utilize for water quality management.

EFDC, ESCORT and MIKE21 models are applied at the Gomso Bay to investigate each models' facilities of tidal flat simulation. Comparisons with observation data show that all models simulate hydrodynamic phenomena and tidal flat well. CPU time and WCM are examined to evaluate the efficiency of the models, and the effects of flooding/drying depth and bottom friction are examined to analyze models' facilities of simulating tidal flat. The EFDC model is considered to be fairly good in accuracy, stability and applicability, it is, however, poor in efficiency and its complexity. While the ESCORT model is superior to the EFDC in simulation of tidal flat, it is inferior to the EFDC in CPU time and simulation of bottom friction. The MIKE21 model is excellent in efficiency, but some numerical noise would be detected at low water, not permitting correction of the model.

과거 하천의 흐름과 수질 모의를 위해서는 정상상태 모델인 QUAL2E 가 널리 사용되어 왔지만, 여름철에 강우가 집중되고, 댐과 보에 의하여 지체현상이 발생하는 등 우리나라 특유의 사정을 고려한다면 최적의 대안으로 보기 힘들다. 이에 따라 비정상상태의 흐름 및 수질모델의 적용이 요구되고 있으며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 수행 되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 금강수계의 중류에 위치한 세종보 주변에 3차원 동역학적 수리해석 모델인 EFDC를 구축하고 모델을 보정한 후, 대청댐의 유량 변화에 대하여 흐름 및 수질을 모의하였다.

This study analyzed a hydrodynamic behavior using the EFDC model (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) in the downstream of the Nakdong River in the case of a storm surge and a localized torrential rainfall caused by a major typhoon, and the sea level rise caused by global warming. The study area is selected Gaduk island with the lower boundary and Jindong with the upper boundary, to investigate the total river hydrodynamic behavior including the estuary. In order to verify this numerical model, the calculated results was compared with the observed stage at each gauging point in case of the storm rainfall in 2003 and 2006. From the results, it was shown that the numerical model(EFDC) has high accuracy and is useful in simulating more various cases.

The flow of the middle and downstream of the Yeongsan River is stagnant by two weirs of Seungchon and Juksan and the estuary dam and maintained in freshwater. In this study, the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code-National Institute of Environment Research(EFDC-NIER) model was applied to the Yeongsan River to simulate water flow, temperature, and salinity stratification. The EFDC-NIER model is an improved model which can simulate multi-functional weirs operation, multiple algal species, and the vertical movement mechanism of algal based on the EFDC model. The simulation results for the water level, water temperature, velocity, and salinity reproduced the observed values well. The mean absolute error(MAE) of the model calibration in the annual variations of the water level was 0.1-0.3 m, water temperature was 0.8-1.7 ℃, velocity was 4.5-7.1 cm/sec, and salinity was 1.5 psu, respectively. In the case of scenario simulation for the full opening of the estuary dam, the water level of the estuary dam was directly impacted by the tide so it was predicted to rise - 1.35 m to 0.2 m on average sea level. The velocity was also predicted to increase from 2.7 cm/sec to 50.8 cm/sec, and the flow rate to increase from 53 ㎥/sec to 5,322 ㎥/sec.

Even if a small amount of arsenic (As) is entering to small agricultural reservoir from upper streams, small agricultural reservoir becomes sensitive to changes in arsenic concentration depending on the water level in case of accumulation continuously because of its scale. If we want to manage arsenic concentration in small agricultural reservoir, it is very important to understand arsenic changes in agricultural reservoir. In spite of the fact that modeling is the most accurate method for analyzing arsenic concentration changes in small agricultural reservoirs, but, it is difficult to monitor arsenic change everyday. So, if data is prepared for modeling arsenic changes, water quality modeling is more effective than monitoring. Therefore, in this study, arsenic concentration changes was simulated and arsenic concentration change mechanism in small reservoir was analyzed using hydrological and water quality monitoring data and by conducting EFDC (Environment Fluid Dynamics Code)-WASP (Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program) linkage. EFDC-WASP coupling technique was very useful for modeling arsenic changes because EFDC can consider hydrodynamic and WASP can perform arsenic concentration simulation, separately. As a results of this study, during dry season, As concentration was maintained relatively high arsenic concentrations. Therefore, water level control will be needed for managing As concentration of reservoir.

지금까지 국내 연구에서 EFDC 모형의 활용은 WASP 모형과 연계하여 저수지 수리해석에 주로 이용되었으며, 하천의 수리해석에서도 많이 활용되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 EFDC 모형의 Full 버전을 이용하여 하천 수질모델링을 수행하고 적용성과 수질해석의 재현성을 검토하고자 한다. 국립환경과학원의 8일 간격 실측자료를 사용하기 위하여 대상구간을 낙동강 본류 C에서 낙동강 본류 K까지를 선정하였고, 2차원 수리해석과 수질해석을 수행하였다. 수리해석의 결과를 확인하기 위하여 유량을 실측자료와 비교하였으며, 수질인자는 수온, COD, TOC, DO, TN, TP에 대해 모의하였으며, 모형에서 직접 계산되지 않는 BOD는 COD와 환산을 통해 간접적인 방법으로 산정하여 실측자료와 비교하였다. EFDC 모형의 하천에서의 수질해석 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 모의 결과와 실측자료를 이용하여 통계분석을 수행하여 수리 수질해석의 재현성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 수행한 EFDC를 이용한 수리 및 수질 모델링의 모의의 예측결과는 우수한 것으로 판단되나, BOD의 경우 다른 인자들의 모의결과에 비해 다소 낮게 나타나고 있는데, 이는 COD나 TOC와 관련된 BOD의 환산에 대한 연구의 부족으로 인한 결과로 보이며, 향후 보다 향상된 기법을 이용한다면 이러한 문제는 개선될 것으로 판단된다. 검증을 위한 실측치로 8일 간격 실측치를 이용하였는데 이 자료의 경우 8일 간격이므로 실제로 결측치가 많이 발생을 하고, 또한 유량이 많이 발생하는 홍수기시에는 관측을 하지 않는 문제가 있어 실제로 자료의 변동이 큰 경우에는 모의 결과가 실측치의 경향을 잘 쫓아가지 못하는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 모의결과 신뢰도 향상을 위해 일간격의 실측치를 확보하거나 또는 결측치를 보완할 수 있는 기법에 대한 선행 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
