본 연구에서는 자료수집과 적용에 상당한 시간과 노력이 요구되는 기존의 수치모형들 대신에 최소한의 유역정보를 이용해 오염물질의 이동시간과 확산을 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 즉, 하천에서 오염물질의 이동속도, 시간에 따른 오염물질의 첨두농도, 오염물질이 하천의 한 점을 통과하는데 소요되는 시간장경 등의 요소들을 이용한 단위오염도의 개념을 도입하였으며, 이들 요소들의 추정을 위해서는 미국 내의 수많은 하천을 대상으로 개발된 회귀방정식을 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 본류 성서공단에서 1994년 6월 30일에 발생한 디클로로메탄 누출사고에 대해 회귀방정식으로 단위오염도의 요소들을 추정하고, 이를 적용하여 오염물질의 이동시간과 확산을 예측하였으며, QUAL2E모형을 이용해 얻은 결과와 비교분석하였다. 회귀방정식과 QUAL2E 모형으로 모의한 결과, 두 모형 모두 모의치가 관측치와 비교적 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 간편하게 오염물질의 이동시간과 농도를 예측할 수 있는 회귀방정식에 의한 단위오염도는 유역정보가 부족한 유역에서 적용성이 뛰어날 것으로 사료된다.

연안해역의 부영양화, 빈산수괴 형성 그리고 유해적조류 출현과 같은 수질오염은 하계 담수의 대량유입에 의해 빈번하게 발생한다. 따라서 연안해역의 수질오염 현상을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 담수가 해수유동에 의해 이송-확산되어 해역수질 및 생태계에 미치는 영향범위에 대한 예측 및 분석기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 GUI(Graphic User Interface)를 이용하여 연안해역 해수유동과 담수 확산을 쉽게 예측하고, 그 결과를 효과적으로 검토할 수 있는 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 3차원 유한요소모형을 사용하여 조석에 의한 해수유동을 계산하였고, 담수 확산 계산에는 통계학적인 개념을 이용하여 담수 입자의 운동을 묘사하는 2차원 Random-Walk 모형을 사용하였다. 개발된 시스템을 이용하여 목포해역의 2차원 조류 분포와 담수 확산을 모의하였다. 사용한 입자추적모형의 검증을 위해 다른 이송확산 수치해석 방법에 의한 결과 및 1, 2차원 해석해와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 예측시스템은 GUI 환경에서 작동되므로 누구나 쉽게 자료의 입력 및 수정이 가능하며, 계산된 모형결과를 그래픽을 이용해 효과적으로 가시화 하여 계산결과를 누구나 쉽고 정확하게 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 시스템을 이용하여 연안해역으로 유입되는 담수의 확산 범위를 수시로 예측하여 신속하게 대책을 수립한다면, 오염된 담수유입으로 인한 인근해역의 환경피해를 줄일 수 있을 것이다.

The air quality modeling was carried out to assess the impact of air quality for large scale urban development. The site for the assessment is Multi-fuctional Administrative City which locates in Yeongi-gun, Chungcheongnam-do and estimated population in 2030 is 500,000. Two automatic weather monitoring stations were installed to monitor the meteorological variables for a year and upper air meteorological parameters were measured using radiosonde for 5 days with 4 hours interval in every season. The air quality of standard air pollutants were also measured for 5 days continuously in every season. The results of wind field analysis based on the site measurements and CALMET modeling showed that the valley and mountain winds were prevailed when the sypnotic wind was weak. It also showed that wind speed and directions were highly space-variable within the site basin. The variable wind characteristics implies that the Gaussian dispersion model such ISC3 and AERMOD are not appropriate and the unsteady-sate Lagrangian model such as CALPUFF is preferable. CALPUFF model was applied to assess air quality impact of new sources. The new sources were those for individual and group heating facilities as well as the traffic increases. The results showed that the estimated concentrations of CO and $SO_2$ pollutants by summing the impact concentration of new sources by the dispersion model and the ambient air concentrations by the site measurements were acceptable but those of PM-10 and $NO_2$ would violate ambient air quality standards at several locations due to high ambient air concentrations. It is recommended that the emission reductions near the site should be enforced to improve the ambient air quality.

In this study, the environmental behavior of malodor pollutants (MPs: $H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, and DMDS) was investigated around areas influenced by strong anthropogenic processes based on observations and modeling study (a CALPUFF dispersion model). The MP emission concentrations were measured from 8 industrial source regions (tire plants (S1-S3), waste water disposal plant (S4), and oil refinery (S5) in an urban center area and paper mill/incineration plant (S6) and livestock feedlots (S7-S8) in Ungsang area) in Yangsan city during a fall period in 2008 (21 October 2008). Overall, the most MPs emitted from the urban center area were found to affect the malodor pollution in their downwind areas during early morning (06:00 LST) and nighttime (18:00 and 21:00 LST), compared with those in the Ungsang area. For malodor intensity, the most MPs in the urban center area (especially S1 and S2) were found to be a significant contributor, whereas $CH_3SH$ and $H_2S$ in the Ungsnag area (especially S6) were the dominant contributor. The model study showed agreement in the spatial distributions of simulated MPs with those of the observations. The largest impact of MPs in the urban center area on the malodor pollution in its residential areas occurred at S1, S2, and S3 sites during nighttime, while that of MPs in the Ungsang area occurred at S6 and S8 sites. This may be caused mainly by the high MP emissions and in part by wind conditions (prevailing northeasterly winds with low wind speeds of 2-3 m/s).

In this study, the effects of trees on flow and scalar dispersion in an urban street canyon were investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. For this, we implemented the drag terms of trees to the CFD model, and compared the CFD-simulated results to the wind-tunnel results. For comparison, we considered the same building configuration as the wind-tunnel experiment. The trees were located at the center of street canyon with the aspect ratio (defined as the ratio of the street width to the building height) of 1. First, the flow characteristics were analyzed in the tree-free and high-density tree cases and the results showed that the CFD model reproduced well the flow pattern of the wind-tunnel experiment and reflected the drag effect of trees in the street canyon. Then, the dispersion characteristics of scalar pollutants were investigated for the tree-free, low-density tree and medium-density tree cases. In the tree-free case, the nondimensionalized concentration distribution simulated by the CFD model was quite similar to that in the wind-tunnel experiment in magnitude and pattern. The correlation coefficients between the measured and simulated concentrations are more than 0.9 in all the cases. As the tree density increased, nondimensionalized concentration increased (decreased) near the wall of the upwind (downwind) building, which resulted from the decrease in wind speed case by the drag effect of trees. However, the CFD model underestimated (overestimated) the concentration near the wall of upwind (downwind) building.

A Lagrangian dispersion model has been developed to study the transport of atmospheric pollutants over the southern Korean peninsula on sunny summer days. A mesoscale atmospheric model has been employed to provide the wind fields and information for turbulent diffusion for the calculation of trajectories using a conditioned particle technique. The model has been applied to the simulation of the transport of atmospheric pollutants emitted from five sources in the coastal locations under various synoptic scale winds. Under calm synoptic scale condition, the particles emitted during daytime are mixed vertically and transported toward inland by sea-breeze, according to the model simulation. The particles are then transported upward at she sea-breeze front or by the upward motion over the mountain, and some particles show tendency of returning toward the coast by the return flow of the sea-breeze circulation. The particles are found to remain over the peninsula throughout the integration period under calm synoptic scale condition. When there is westerly synoptic scale winds the particles emitted in the west coast can reach the east coast within a day of faster depending on the speed. With a synoptic scale southerly wind of 5 m/s, most of the particles from the fine sources are advected toward inland during daytime. During nighttime, significant portion of particles released in the west coast remains over the land, while most particles released in the east coast move toward the sea to the east of the middle peninsula.

Selecting Daechung Dam as a sample study site, this study simulates virtual water quality incident which can be occurred using EFDC maintained by USEPA. In order to predict the behavior and diffusion of leaked conservative pollutant within dam under the worst condition, the hydrological data and information from 2008 were used. EFDC was successfully calibrated for observed water level obtained from the above sources. From the results of simulations, even though the concentrations (500 ppm, 1,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm) of leaked pollutant were different with each other at the same sources, the travel time of each peak concentration appeared similar. Also, changing the leak source point from dam gate(0 km) to 7 km, it was found that as leak source point was nearer to the dam gate, the travel time of each peak concentration showed up sooner. It was simulated to take 1 day to 15 days for initial appearance of the leaked pollutant according to the leaked points, and 3 days to 25 days for the reach of the peak concentration, respectively.

This study investigated characteristics of rainfall and water quality in Saemangeum area with attention to temporal and spatial distributions. A high variability in rainfall was noted during July and August. The temporal analysis of water quality data indicated that DO and TN as well as BOD, COD and SS were within national standards except for increased concentrations during spring and summer, unlike TP values that indicated poor water quality. Standard deviation showed a high variability in SS among the seasons most especially during summer. The high dispersion indicated variability in the chemical composition of pollutants where the temporal and spatial variations caused by polluting sources and/or seasonal changes were most evident for BOD and COD during winter and spring. The box plots and bar charts showed steadily low concentrations of BOD, COD, TN and TP except within Iksan and notable significant variations in SS concentrations among the monitoring stations. Thus, high pollution levels requiring intervention were identified in Mangyeong river basin with particular concern for areas represented by Iksan station. It was noted that Iksan received a considerable amount of rainfall which meant high runoff which could explain the significant pollution levels revealed in the water quality spatial distribution. Major pollution contributing pollutants within Saemangeum area were identified as SS, BOD, COD and TN. Therefore the present results could be used as a guideline for the temporal and spatial distributions analysis of both rainfall and water quality in Saemangeum watershed.

A field tracer experiment using a radioisotope was conducted to analyze the transport and dispersion characteristics of pollutants in the coastal area near a Wolsung. A rod float including GPS was released to track the paths of radioisotope. NaI detector was installed to measure the released radioisotope from the boat, and measurements were performed with the real time. The measured tracer data by a field experiment can be used as the basic data for understanding the transport characteristics of pollutants and verifying numerical models near the offshore.

사고 등으로 인해 하천에 순간적으로 주입되는 오염물질의 2차원 이송-확산을 모의하기 위하여 SUPG법에 의한 2차원 유한요소 모형을 개발하고 주입된 질량과 모의 질량간의 오차를 산정하였다. 지배방정식으로부터 질량 오차 산정식을 유도하고 이를 간단한 예제에 적용하였다. 적용 예제로는 단순 직선수로에서 선원을 통한 질량주입과 일방향의 등질 유속장을 가지는 2차원 공간에서 점원을 통한 질량주입 문제를 가정하였으며, 기존의 Galerkin법과의 비교를 위하여 두가지 수치기법에 대한 모의 검증을 실시하였다. 검증결과 기존의 Galerkin법에 의한 모의 결과에 비하여 SUPG법을 통한 수치모형의 구성이 모의의 정확성뿐만 아니라 주입 질량의 보존에 있어서도 보다 정확한 방법임을 확인하였다.
