In order to understand the tidal current and mean flow at the west channel of Yeoja Bay in the South Sea of Korea, numerical model experiments and vorticity analysis were carried out. The currents flow north at flood and south at ebb respectively and have the reversing form in the west channel. Topographical eddies are found in the surroundings of Dunbyong Island in the east of the channel. The flood currents flow from the waters near Naro Islands through the west channel and the coastal waters near Geumo Islands through the east channel. The ebb currents from the Yeoja Bay flow out along the west and the east channels separately. The south of Nang Island have weak flows because the island is located in the rear of main tidal stream. Currents are converged at ebb and diverged at flood in the northwest of Jeokgum Island. Tidal current ellipses show reversing form in the west channel but a kind of rotational form in the east channel. As the results of tide induced mean flows, cyclonic and anticyclonic topographical eddies at the northern tip but eddies with opposite spin at the southern tip are found in the west channel of Yeoja Bay. The topographical eddies around the islands and narrow channels are created from the vorticity formed at the land shore by the friction between tidal currents and the west channel.

조류가 강한 만경강-동진강 부근의 연안역에는 많은 사주들이 잘 발달하여 있다. 그 중 한 사주에서 측정된 조류는 그 최대유속이 밀물과 절물 사이에 심한 비대칭 현상을 나타낸다. 사주의 남쪽 측면에서는 밀물이 우세하고 북쪽 측면에서는 썰물이 우세한 이러한 비대칭성은 대조시 유속이 강할 때 더욱 뚜렷이 나타난다. 또한 남쪽의 밀물 우세 현상은 북쪽의 썰물 우세 현상 보다 더욱 강하게 나타나고 있어 사주는 전체적으로 밀물에 의하여 더 큰 영향을 받고 있다. 모래로 이루어진 이 지역의 해저 퇴적물들은 대부분 조류에 의해 밑짐으로 이동되고 있으며, 이러한 조류의 비대칭성으로 인하여 모래는 어느 한 방향으로 순 이동이 일어나게 된다. 이러한 모래의 순 이동은 남쪽에서는 해안쪽으로 북쪽에서는 외해쪽으로 이동하여 바닥의 모래는 사주를 반시계 방향으로 순환하는 양상을 띄게 될 것이며 전체적으로는 강한 밀물의 영향으로 사주가 해안쪽으로 이동하는 결과를 가능하게 할 것이다. 사주의 남쪽부분의 형태가 불규칙적이고 V자 모양을 나타내는 것도 이러한 강한 밀물의 영향을 반영하는 것으로 해석된다.

To investigate the characteristics of tidal currents and water circulation in the coastal waters off the Taean Peninsula, tidal currents and sea levels were measured at the study area from 1998 to 2004. In the central waterway to the south of Changan Sand Ridge, mean speed of tidal currents and residual currents were 74.0cm/s, 17.8cm/s respectively; the dominant residual currents flowed northeastward, and the amplitudes of semi-diurnal components $(M_2,\;S_2)$ were larger than diurnal components $(O_1,\;K_1)$. The flood and ebb tidal currents were northeastward and southwestward, respectively, and each period was about 6 hours for them, which was consistent with the period of sea levels at the study area. In the coastal region near Hakampo, Taean, mean velocities of tidal currents and residual currents were 46.1cm/s, 30.8cm/s respectively, and the dominant residual currents flowed southwestward. The amplitudes of shallow water constituents $(M_4,\;MS_4)$ were relatively laige, which were weaker to the northeastern coastal region off Mineodo. The northeastward flow continued for about $2{\sim}3$ hours, while the southwestward flow continued for about $9{\sim}10$ hours near Hakampo during the tidal period. Tidal currents flowed northeastward in the central area of the waterway during the period from the Low Water Level (LWL) to the High Water Level (HWL). While the currents in the coastal region flowed northeastward for the first 3 hours after the LWL, southwestward counter-currents flowed between 3 and 6 hours after the LWL. During the period from the HWL to the LWL, the dominant currents flowed southwestward in the study area except to the northeastern coastal region off Mineodo. Along the shorelines, the counter-currents flowed northward between 4 and 6 hours after the HWL. It seems that the counter-currents near the coastal region are caused by the topography and the geography of the shorelines at the study area.

In order to understand the currents around Hampyung Bay and Haeje Peninsula, 2D numerical simulations for tidal currents and tide-induced residual currents were carried out. Dominant semidiurnal tidal currents have reversing form and flow NNE-SSW from northern Haeje Peninsula to Songi Island, E-S at northern Haeje Peninsula and NNW-SSE in Hampyung Bay. In flood, a part of currents from Imja Island~Nakwhol Island flow along the main stream flowing northeast at offshore region and the rest flow into Hampyung Bay flowing east along the northern coast of Haeje Peninsula. In ebb, currents from Hampyung Bay flow west along the northern coast of Haeje Peninsula and run together with the main stream flowing southeast at offshore region. The currents create an anticyclonic circulation in flood and a cyclonic circulation in ebb around Haeje Peninsula including Hampyung Bay. Tidal currents are accumulated on Doripo which located at the entrance of Hampyung Bay and show high current velocities. Tidal currents and tide induced residual currents are weak at the inside of Hampyung Bay which has narrow entrance, shallow water depth and wide intertidal zone. An anticyclonic eddy is formed around Gaksi Island as a result of tide induced residual currents. In northern coast of Haeje Peninsula, slow constant currents flow east. It is expected that a gradual change of sediment and an increase of flushing time for suspended materials are carried by tidal currents occurring in Hampyung Bay.

The tides, tidal currents and tidal prisms at Inchon Harbor are studied with recent data. The tides at Inchon Harbor is of semi-diurnal type having a spring range of 798cm and a phase age of 2 days. The monthly mean sea level at Inchon has a maximum at August and a minimum at January with a annual range of about 40cm. the tidal currents at Inchon Outer Harbor are of semi-diurnal type same as tides and nearly reversing type. The flood and ebb currents set north and south with a velocity of about 90-175 cm/sec and 120-225 cm/sec at spring tide and begin 0.2 hours after L.W. and 0.7 hours after H. W., respectively. Non-tidal currents flow southward with 10-20 cm/sec at west side of the stream and northward with 15-20 cm/sec at east side of the stream at Inchon Outer Harbor. The flood volume through the Inchon Outer Harbor fluctuates fortnightly from 590 10$\^$6/㎥ spring tide to 260 $10^6/m^3$ at neap tide and ebb volume changes from 470 $10^6/m^3$ at spring tide to 200 $10^6/m^3$ at neap tide, respectively. The flow area along the channel to the Estuary of Yeomha is controlled by the tidal prism as expressed by $A=1.14{\times}10^{-4}P^{0.966}$

A large subtidal sand ridge (Jungang Satoe) in Asan Bay, on the west coast of Korea, was studied in order to understand the morphology and sediment transport trend in a macrotidal setting, by means of analyzing sediment samples, current data, side-scan sonographs and seismic profiles. The ridge is about 15 km long and 2-5 km wide, with a relief of about 15 m. It is elongated in the flow direction of flood (SE) and ebb (NW) tidal currents, but asymmetrical in cross section. The western and southwestern side of the ridge is characterized by relatively gentle slopes averaging 0.4$^{\circ}$, whereas on the northeastern side, relatively steep slopes were mapped with 1.6$^{\circ}$ slope angles. Tidal currents associated with the ridge are very strong; maximum surface velo-cities range from neap values of 50 cm/s to spring values of 130 cm/s. The shear velocities during flood and ebb are strong enough to erode and transport sands on the ridge. Sand waves and megaripples (dunes) are the most common bedforms produced by the tidal currents, which show regional differences in shape and size on the ridge. The distribution pattern of these bedforms in-dicates that the flood tidal currents are dominant on the offshore (northwest) side of the ridge, whereas the onsho.e (southeast) side of the ridge is ebb-dominated. The sand transport path as inferred from bedform orientations is directed toward the ridge crest on the flanks, whereas on the crest, it is near-longitudinal to the ridge axis. The convergent, upslope movement of sands on the ridge flanks appears to be important in sand ridge building and maintenance. A significant ridge migration toward the northeast can be suspected on the basis of the ridge morphology, which may cause offshore hazards for navigation.

This study is focused to analyze the movement of thermal effluent dischargeed from nuclear power plant by season, ebb and flow, and before and after foundation of tide embankment using thermal infrared band image of 28 scenes observed from Landsat from 1987 to 2004, which is the early stage of operation of young-kwang nuclear power plant. In diffusion of thermal effluent discharge by seasons, spring and summer is spreading further than autumn and winter. It is considered to distribute widely mixed with thermal effluent discharge and hot water, which is distributed naturally along the seaside. It is known the fact that tidal currents control the direction of diffusion of thermal effluent discharge by the change of ebb and flow. Namely, it is distributed widely on the Southwest direction along the seaside by tidal currents when ebb and, it is moved widely on the Northeast direction along the seaside by tidal current when flood. However, in the early stage of flood current, the mainstream of thermal effluent discharge is spread on Southwest direction and, the direction is changed on North­east way when the latter period of flood current. Similarly, in the early stage of ebb current, the mainstream of thermal effluent discharge is spread on Northeast direction and, the direction is changed on Southwest direction when the latter period of ebb current. As the result of comparing to the diffusion pattern of thermal effluent discharge before and after the foundation of seawall, discharged thermal effluent from the drain of plant by the foundation of dike is shown as curved circle pattern on Northeast to West direction from the ending portion of the seawall.

목포해역에서 조위와 조류 관측자료를 분석하여, 낙조류 우세 조류특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였으며 낙조류 우세를 발생하는 물리적 요인에 대해 검토하였다. 노출한계수심, 바닥마찰응력 산정방법, 해안 매립, 조석의 진폭, 비선형 조석, 와점성계수와 목포해역의 낙조류 우세현상의 관련성에 대해서 2차원 해수유동 모형을 적용하여 자세히 조사하였다. 다양한 조건에 대한 모의결과로부터 노출한계수심과 와점성계수는 모의결과에 거의 영향을 주지 않으며, 바닥마찰응력이 증가함에 따라 조류의 비선형성이 증가하여 낙조류 우세현상이 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 간사지가 미치는 영향은 간사지가 육지로 바뀌면 낙조류 우세가 심해지고, 간사지가 바다로 바뀌면 낙조류 우세가 사라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그동안 목포해역에서 진행되어온 해안매립사업은 낙조우세현상을 심화시켜 왔음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 비선형 조석은 비대칭 조류를 생성하는 데 결정적인 역할을 하여 조류의 비대칭성인 강한 목포해역에서 조류를 모의할 때는 개방경계 조위에 비선형조석을 포함해야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

To investigate the flow pattern and mixing process in Suyoung Bay, field observations and data analyses of tidal current, salinity and suspended sediment (SS) were carried out. Ebb flow is stronger than flood flow, and duration of ebb tide is longer than that of flood tide. Semi-diurnal component of tidal current is predominant, and current rotating clockwise occurs in the central part of the bay. The direction of the residual currents in the central part of the bay and offshore is almost N to WNW, and the speed is 4-14cm/s. Eulerian diffusion coefficients estimated from the current data have the range of $6.2\times10^4-4.2\times10^6\;cm^2/s,$ Salinity structure in Suyoung River estuary during flood tide is of partially mixed type, but is of stratified type during ebb tide. Salinity fluctuation is large at the surface, and the fluctuation decreases with depth. SS concentration in Suyoung River estuary has a higher value during ebb tide than that during flood tide. Salinity and 55 concentrations in the estuary appeared to be very sensitive to the change of river flow.

여수해만 광양만 입구의 조류 및 부유 퇴적물 함량 분석을 통하여 광양만 내의 부유 퇴적물 수지 균형을 조사하였다. 만 입구의 부유 퇴적물 함량은 바닥이 평균 약 17.80mg/l로 표층의 평균 약 4.75mg/l에 비해 상당히 높으며, 조류도 표층 부근에서는 썰물이 강하나 저층에서는 오히려 밀물이 강하여 유속의 비대칭 현상을 보이고 있다. 이러한 저층의 높은 부유 퇴적물 함량과 밀물우세 조류로 인하여 이 지역의 부유 퇴적물 이동은 저층을 통한 이동이 큰 중요성을 갖으며, 따라서 광양만의 내부 특히 서쪽 부분은 전체적으로 세립 퇴적물의 순수 퇴적이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 조류에 의한 세립 퇴적물의 순수 유입량은 약 $5.66\times10^8g/day$로 계산되며, 이 순수 유입량이 만의 서부에 퇴적된다면 그 퇴적율은 약 1.15m/1,000years 정도가 될 것이다.
