Abstract

In this study, field measurements were conducted in the section about 7 km from sea dike to westward. The observations of along channel current were carried out, and water temperature and salinity were measured simultaneously at 10 stations during one tidal cycle, and sampling interval is 1 hour. The maximum ebb current is about 1.5 m/s at the surface layer but flood current is 0.4 m/s at the bottom layer during discharge period. Residual current during river discharge shows two layer structures which is typical characteristic of the estuary system. On the other hand, residual current during a period with no discharge has shown multi-layer structure different from general estuarine systems. The distribution of high salinity can be seen at the bottom layer as the effect of discharge does not reach down to the bottom layer during discharge. As a result, freshwater is not effected at the bottom layer during observation, and mixing of surface layer to bottom layer is reduced by stratification.

방류 유무에 따른 유속, 잔차류 그리고 염분의 시공간적인 분포를 파악하기 위해서 영산강 하구둑에서 서쪽방향으로 7.5 km의 구간까지 방류 시와 미방류 시에 종단면의 유속, 수온 그리고 염분을 한 조석 주기 동안 1시간 간격으로 동시에 관측하였다. 미방류 시에 연구지역의 유속 형태는 창조지속 시간이 길고 낙조류가 강한 낙조우세 특성을 보인다. 방류 시에 표층 최대 유속은 최대 1.5 m/s의 제트류 형태로 방류되지만, 저층 유속은 미방류 시와 비교해보면 0.4 m/s로 크게 변하지 않는다. 방류 시의 수직 잔차류 분포는 담수의 영향으로 일반적인 하구에서 보이는 2층 흐름 구조를 가지는 반면에, 미방류 시에는 다층 흐름 구조가 나타난다. 일반적으로 방류로 인하여 하구둑 외측에서 강한 연직 혼합이 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 본 연구조사에서는 방류에 의해서 염분 성층이 발달하고, 표층과 저층간의 연직 혼합에 크게 기여하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 방류가 강하게 일어남에도 불구하고 하구둑 전면의 지형적 효과와 밀도 차에 의한 해수 흐름 특성에 의한 것으로 판단되며, 이를 통해 하구둑 방향의 물질수송은 수직 방향보다는 수평 방향으로 나타남을 알 수 있다.
