In this paper, dispersion scenarios concerning various meteorological conditions and real urban structures were made to estimate the impacts of hazardous substance leakage accidents and to reduce damages. Based on the scenario of the hazardous substance dispersion, the characteristics of the risk in the pedestrian environment were analyzed in Gangnam, Seoul. The scenarios are composed of 48 cases according to the meteorological conditions of wind direction and wind speed. In order to analyze the dispersion characteristics of the hazardous substances, simulations were conducted using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model with hydrogen fluoride releases. The validation for the simulated wind was conducted at a specific period, and all the calculated verification indices were within the valid range. As a result of simulated dispersion field at pedestrian level, it was found that the dispersion pattern was influenced by the flow, which was affected by the artificial obstacles. Also, in the case of the weakest wind speed of the inflow, the dispersion of the hazardous substance appeared in the direction of the windward side at the pedestrian level due to the reverse flow occurred at lower layers. Through this study, it can be seen that the artificial structures forming the city have a major impact on the flow formed in urban areas. The proposed approach can be used to simulate the dispersion of the hazardous substances and to assess the risk to pedestrians in the industrial complexes dealing with actual hazardous substances in the future.

해상으로 운송되는 위험유해물질(HNS, Hazardous and Noxious Substance)은 6,000여종 이상으로 많은 종류를 포함하고 있으므로, 유출시 대응전략 수립을 위한 HNS 거동 및 위험반경 예측을 결정론적으로 제시하기 어렵다. HNS 거동예측에서는 예측의 신속성과 효율성을 고려하여 차이가 미미한 모든 종류의 HNS 특성을 모두 고려하는 대신에 거동에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있는 특성들에 초점을 맞쳐 대표적인 거동예측 모델을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 HNS를 기체상, 액체상, 고체상 등 크게 3분류로 구분하고, 각각의 분류별 거동특성 모델링을 연구하였다. 물질 특성별 거동특성은 증기압, 용해도, 밀도 등을 고려하였으며, 각각의 변수에 따른 증발, 혼?, 침강 등의 거동을 모델링하였다. 물질의 거동특성 모델링은 대기 해양 확산모델의 계산에서 대기중 확산, 수중 확산, 해저면 침적 등을 결정하는 과정으로 활용된다.
