본 연구의 목적은 3차원 수리 모델인 ELCOM(Estuary, Lake and Coastal Ocean Model)과 물질 전달모델인 CAEDYM(Computational Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamic Model)을 이용하여 성층화된 저수지로 밀도류 형태로 유입한 부유사의 이송과 확산 그리고 침강특성을 해석하는데 있다. ELCOM은 3차원 수리동력학 모델로써 시공간적인 유속과 수온변화를 예측하는데 사용되었으며, CAEDYM과 매 계산시간 마다 동적으로 연결(Dynamic coupling)되어 부유입자의 이송, 확산, 침강 과정을 모의하였다. 개발된 3차원 모델의 예측 성능은 2004년 홍수기 동안 대청호에서 실측한 자료를 사용하여 검증하였다. 모델의 모의변수는 입자크기별로 구분된 부유물질(SS) 그룹이며, 현장 실측자료인 탁도($C_T$)와 모델 변수인 SS간의 변환을 위해 저수지 지점 별로 측정한 SS-$C_T$ 상관관계를 사용함으로써 부유 입자의 크기분포의 공간적 변동 특성을 반영하였다. 모델은 탁수가 유입하는 환경에서 저수지 성층구조의 변화와 유입 탁수의 밀도류 거동특성, 유입한 부유사의 이송과 확산 그리고 침강특성을 비교적 잘 모의하였다. 저수지로 유입한 부유입자 중 입경이 $20{\mu}m$ 이상인 입자는 매우 빠른 속도로 저수지 바닥에 퇴적된 반면, $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 입자들은 중층에 오랜 시간 부유하며 장기탁수문제를 유발하는 원인이 되었다.

The study was aimed to evaluate the applicability of a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic and water quality model, ELCOM-CAEDYM for Yongdam Reservoir, Korea. The model was applied for the simulations of hydrodynamics, thermal stratification processes, stream density flow propagation, and water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, nutrients, organic materials, and algal biomass (chl-a) for the period of June to December, 2006. The field data observed at four monitoring stations (ST1~ST4) within the reservoir were used to validate the models performance. The model showed reasonable performance nevertheless low frequency boundary forcing data were provided, and well replicated the physical, chemical, and biological processes of the system. Simulated spatial and temporal variations of water temperature, nutrients, and chl-a concentrations were moderately consistent with the field observations. In particular, the model rationally reproduced the succession of different algal species; i.e., diatom dominant during spring and early summer, after then cyanobacteria dominant under warm and stratified conditions. ELCOM-CAEDYM is recommendable as a suitable coupled 3D hydrodynamic and water quality model that can be effectively used for the advanced water quality management of large stratified reservoirs in Korea.

An abnormal mono-specific bloom of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa had developed at a specific location (transitional zone, monitoring station of Hoenam) in Daecheong Reservoir from middle of July to early August, 2001. The maximum cell counts during the peak bloom reached 1,477,500 cells/mL, which was more than 6~10 times greater than those at other monitoring sites. The hypothesis of this study is that the timing and location of the algal bloom was highly correlated with the local environmental niche that was controled by physical processes such as hydrodynamic mixing and pollutant transport in the reservoir. A three-dimensional, coupled hydrodynamic and ecological model, ELCOM-CAEDYM, was applied to the period of development and subsequent decline of the bloom. The model was calibrated against observed water temperature profiles and water quality variables for different locations, and applied to reproduce the algal bloom event and justify the limiting factor that controled the Microcystis bloom at R3. The simulation results supported the hypothesis that the phosphorus loading induced from a contaminated tributary during several runoff events are closely related to the rapid growth of Microcystis during the period of bloom. Also the physical environments of the reservoir such as a strong thermal stratification and weak wind velocity conditions provided competitive advantage to Microcystis given its light adaptation capability. The results show how the ELCOM-CAEDYM captures the complex interactions between the hydrodynamic and biogeochemical processes, and the local environmental niche that is preferable for cyanobacterial species growth.

Many reservoirs in Korea and their downstream environments are under increased pressure for water utilization and ecosystem management from longer discharge of turbid flood runoff compared to a natural river system. Turbidity($C_T$) is an indirect measurement of water 'cloudiness' and has been widely used as an important indicator of water quality and environmental "health". However, $C_T$ modeling studies have been rare due to lack of experimental data that are necessary for model validation. The objective of this study is to validate a coupled three-dimensional(3D) hydrodynamic and particle dynamics model (ELCOM-CAEDYM) for the simulation of turbid density flows in stratified Daecheong Reservoir using extensive field data. Three different groups of suspended solids (SS) classified by the particle size were used as model state variables, and their site-specific SS-$C_T$ relationships were used for the conversion between field measurements ($C_T$) and state variables (SS). The simulation results were validated by comparing vertical profiles of temperature and turbidity measured at monitoring stations of Haenam(R3) and Dam(R4) in 2004. The model showed good performance in reproducing the reservoir thermal structure and propagation of stream density flow, and the magnitude and distribution of turbidity in the reservoir were consistent with the field data. The 3D model and turbidity modeling framework suggested in this study can be used as a supportive tool for the best management of turbidity flow in other reservoirs that have similar turbidity problems.

The purpose of this study was to model the effect of flushing discharge on algae removal by multi-purpose weir operation in Yeongsan River (Seungchon Weir) using a 3-dimensional (3D) model. The chlorophyceae Eudorina sp. formed bloom in May 2013. Flushing discharge was conducted in two different ways for algal bloom reduction. To elucidate the spatial variability, a high-resolution 3D model, ELCOM-CAEDYM, was used to simulate the spatial variations of water quality and chl-a over a month. The results showed that ELCOM-CAEDYM could reproduce highly spatially resolved field data at low cost, and showed very good performance in simulating the pattern of algal bloom occurrence. The effect of each flushing discharge operation was analyzed with the results of modeling. The results of case 1, flushing discharge using an open movable weir, showed that the algal bloom between the Seochang Bridge and the Hwangryong River junction is rapidly flushed after operating the movable weir, but the residual algae remained in the weir pool as the discharge decreased. However, the results of case 2, fixed weir overflow with a small hydropower stop, showed that most of the algae was removed after flushing discharge and the effect of algae removal was much bigger than that in case 1, as per modeling results and observed data.

In this study, the plausible grid size was estimated to increase for efficiency of reservoir management using 3 dimensional water quality model. To validate utilization of a real time water quality management tool, ELCOM-CAEDYM model was applied to Soyang reservoir in korea. 100m grid size can represent the real topography and take out exact analysis results. $400{\times}400m$ grid can be easily used to analysis because of data capacity. Consequently, the grid size of 200m or 300m was recommended to establish 3D model considering the required simulation time and the irrelevance between horizontal grid size and vertical distribution for temperature and turbidity analysis.

최근 발생하고 있는 기후변화로 인하여 하천 및 저수지의 수질문제가 커지고 있다. 특히 여름철 부영양화로 인해 발생하는 녹조현상은 사회적인 문제로 과학적인 수질사고에 대한 예측과 관리가 필요한 실정이다. 수질예보는 정기적으로 하천 및 저수지의 수질을 예측하여 사용자에게 제공하는 분석기법으로 수질현황을 파악하고 수질을 관리하고 의사결정을 하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 수질예보에 사용되는 모형은 유역모형, 하천모형, 저수지모형이 있으며, 이중 하천 및 저수지에 주로 적용되고 있는 3차원 수리수질모형의 경우 격자의 개수가 많아 모의시간이 길어지게 되고 이로 인해 일일 수질 예보가 어렵게 된다. 3차원 수리수질모형의 모의속도를 개선하는 방법에는 하드웨어의 성능을 높이는 방법과 병렬화를 이용한 소프트웨어적인 방법이 있다. 이중 하드웨어의 성능을 높이는 방법은 컴퓨터의 사양을 높이는 방법으로 높은 비용이 소요된다. 하지만 병렬화 방법은 컴퓨팅 기술의 발전으로 멀티코어가 대중화가 된 최근에 코드의 적용만으로 모의속도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 모형은 서호주대학에서 개발한 3차원 수리 수질모형인 ELCOM-CAEDYM 모형으로 적용된 병렬화 기법은 OpenMP(Open Multi-Processing)방법이다. 기존 직렬 컴퓨팅 방식으로 구성되어 한번에 한 개의 명령어 밖에 처리할 수 없었던 작업방법을 동시에 여러 개의 처리요소를 이용하여 명령을 실행할 수 있게 하는 방식이다. 하지만 CPU의 개수는 제한되어 있으며, Amdahl's law에 따르면 OpenMP방식의 병렬화시 속도개선효과는 95% 병렬화 프로그램에서 최대 CPU 개수의 제한이 없다면 20배 까지 속도향상이 가능하다고 하였다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 수리 수질예측 모형인 ELCOM-CAEDYM에 적용된 병렬화 기법을 적용하는데 있어 최적 CPU사용 개수를 파악 하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 수질예보시스템을 운영하는데 가장 효율적인 방법을 찾아 적용하고자 하고자 한다.
