Vertical distribution of tidal currents in the Korea Strait is computed by a tree-dimensional tidal model. The results are presented in the from of tidal charts (coamplitude and cophase chart) and (tidal ellipses charts for eight tidal constituents (M$_2$, S$_2$, $N_2$, $K_2$, $K_1$, $O_1$, P$_1$, Q$_1$) and of harmonic constants for predictions of tides and tidal currents during specified duration in the region. The computed tides were in general agreement with coastal observations and observation-based tidal charts of Odamaki (1989). Comparison between model computation and current observation by RIAM were also presented.

With the increasing demand for improved marine environments and safety, greater ability to minimize damages to coastal areas from harmful organisms, ship accidents, oil spills, etc. is required. In this regard, an accurate assessment and understanding of current systems is a crucial step to improve forecasting ability. In this study, we examine spatial and temporal characteristics of current systems in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island using a high-resolution regional ocean circulation model. Our model successfully captures the features of tides and tidal currents observed around Jeju Island. The tide form number calculated from the model result ranges between 0.3 and 0.45 in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island, indicating that the dominant type of tides is a combination of diurnal and semidiurnal, but predominantly semidiurnal. The spatial pattern of tidal current ellipses show that the tidal currents oscillate in a northwest-southeast direction and the rotating direction is clockwise in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island and counterclockwise in the Jeju Strait. Compared to the mean kinetic energy, the contribution of tidal current energy prevails the most parts of the region, but largely decreases in the eastern seas of Jeju Island where the Tsushima Warm Current is dominant. In addition, a Lagrangian particle-tracking experiment conducted suggests that particle trajectories in tidal currents flowing along the coast may differ substantially from the mean current direction. Thus, improving our understanding of tidal currents is essential to forecast the transport of marine pollution and harmful organisms in the adjacent seas of Jeju Island.

Recently, an analysis method using machine learning for solving problems in coastal and ocean engineering has been highlighted. Machine learning models are effective modeling tools for predicting specific parameters by learning complex relationships based on a specified dataset. In coastal and ocean engineering, various studies have been conducted to predict dependent variables such as wave parameters, tides, storm surges, design parameters, and shoreline fluctuations. Herein, we introduce and describe the application trend of machine learning models in coastal and ocean engineering. Based on the results of various studies, machine learning models are an effective alternative to approaches involving data requirements, time-consuming fluid dynamics, and numerical models. In addition, machine learning can be successfully applied for solving various problems in coastal and ocean engineering. However, to achieve accurate predictions, model development should be conducted in addition to data preprocessing and cost calculation. Furthermore, applicability to various systems and quantifiable evaluations of uncertainty should be considered.

This paper is about the ocean current power generation using sea water incoming into the lake surrounded by barrages and sea water discharged from a dam made of artificial structures. In operation of a tidal power plant, the sea water discharged from a turbine structure and a gate structure of a tidal power plant is faster than the tidal current caused by tides in nature and has better characteristics than that to run ocean current turbines. It is shown that the sea water discharged after generating electricity through a turbine generator of a tidal power plant and the sea water discharged from a gate structure of a tidal dam still have kinetic energy high enough to run an ocean current turbine and produce valuable electricity.

Understanding the flow circulation is of primary importance for studies of marine ecology and Pollution protection etc. However the circulation in coastal area is complicated with various processes and can not be considered as forced only by tides. The coastal area off South China is now playing an important role in economic development in southeast Asia with Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou and other cities situated in its central part (Fig. 1).

New cotidal charts of the Tusima Strait has been edited by ODAMAKI (1989a) using tidal current observation data. For the semidiurnal tide as shown in Fig.1, two distinctive features are detected. One is an anti-amphidromic area located in the south coast of Korea. Another is the amplitude gap between west and east coasts of the Tusima.(omitted)

천해조와 조간대가 발달되어 있는 하구에서의 소류사 이동 특성을 규명한 선행 연구 (강 등, 2002)에 이어 본 논문에서는 해당하구에서의 부유사 이동 특성을 규명하였다. 한계소류력을 야기시키는 유속보다 큰 유속이 발생할 경우 즉각적인 유사의 이동을 유발하는 소류사 이동에 비해 부유사 이동은 좀 더 복잡한 거동을 보인다. (중략)

The necessary of predicting changes in tidal regime that would caused by large coastal engineering developments has been led to increased numerical modeling of tides on the continental shelf since 1970s (Flather, 1976; Choi, 1978; Greenberg, 1979). (omitted)
