Abstract

Simulation of local external forcing and its response in the rotation table experiment has been investigated. Spatially-uniform external forcings have been applied in many experimental studies, however, based on the fact that the north-south distribution of the wind-stress curl and the existence of local maximum of the sea surface heat loss in the northern part of the East Sea, new method of combined effects of local forcings has been employed in separate experiments. Carefully designed local source or sink at the bottom of the cylindrical container can produce horizontal pressure gradient within the Ekman layer, and consequently the interior also attains the same pressure gradient that produces geostrophic interior circulation. In order to keep free surface during the local-surface cooling, a side-wall cooling method is suggested. For the various type of local forcing including the effects local cooling and the periodic change of local wind-stress curl, western-boundary flow in terms of its strength, position of separation from the boundary have been observed.

회전반 유체실험을 이용하여 국지적 외력에 의한 순환특성을 모의하는 방법을 고찰하였다. 기존의 실험들은 균일한 외력에 의한 순환특성을 고려하였으나 한국 동해를 고려할 때 바람응력 컬의 남북 방향으로의 분포특성 및 해수면 열 손실의 북부해역에서의 존재를 근거로 공간적인 국지성 및 계절 변화를 염두에 둔 주기성을 복합적으로 모의할 수 있는 방법과 실험을 실시하였다. 바람응력 컬의 국지성은 에크만 층내 압력 경도력을 발생시켜 내부에도 같은 압력 경도력이 전달되어 지형류가 발생되게 하였으며 해수면 냉각을 위해서는 용기의 측면을 국지적으로 냉각시켜 자유표면을 유지할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 남북에 위치한 두 개의 서로 다른 방향을 갖는 폐쇄순환과 서안경계류의 크기 및 이안 위치 변화등을 냉각효과 첨부시 및 응력 컬의 주기성을 갖는 경우를 택하여 실험적으로 관찰하였다.
