Abstract

Distribution of surface and suspended sediments was studied to understand sedimentary processes of finegrained sediment near the cooling water intake of Pyongtaek power plant on the west coast of Korea. The grainsize of surface sediment during the winter was coarser in the opened northern area than sheltered southern area. During the summer, finer sediment was found in the east (landward) than west due under dominantly the influence of tidal current. The concentration of suspended sediments was higher in the winter than summer and in the mid- to deep waters than surface waters. Asymmetry of tidal current induced net landward transport of suspended sediments. Landward transport of suspended sediments was most significant at the beginning of flood time when water level is low. Net suspended sediment fluxes ranged from 3.4$\times$10$^{-3}$ kg.m$^{-2}$ .s$^{-1}$ to 5.7$\times$10$^{-3}$ kg.m$^{-2}$ .s$^{-1}$ This large landward transport of suspended sediments is attributable to combination of enhanced flow induced by intake of cooling water and artificial structures near the water intake.

평택화력발전소 취수구 주변 해역에서 세립질퇴적물의 운반양상을 규명하기 위하여 표층퇴적물과 부유퇴적물에 대한 모니터링을 실시하였다. 표층퇴적물은 동계에는 상대적으로 개방된 북측해역에서 조립하고 남측해역에서 세립한 반면. 하계에는 조석의 영향에 따라 서측해역에서 조립하고 동측해역에서 세립한 퇴적상의 변화를 보인다. 부유퇴적물의 농도는 동계에 높고 하계에 낮았으며, 표층수보다는 중.저층수에서 높은 농도를 보였다. 또한 조석에 따라서는, 조류의 비대칭성에 따라 육지 방향으로 이동되는 양이 바다 방향으로 이동되는 양에 비해 뚜렷하게 많았으며, 낙조에서 창조로 바뀌는 수심이 낮은 창조 초반에 급격히 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 장.단기간에 걸쳐 관측된 부유퇴적물의 순이동률은 3.4$\times$$10^{-3}$ kg.m$^{-2}$ .s$^{-1}$~5.7$\times$$10^{-3}$ kg.m$^{-2}$ .s$^{-1}$범위로 육지쪽 취수구 방향으로 이동되었다. 이와 같은 현상은 취수구 주변에서 육지쪽으로 발생되는 인위적인 흐름과 주변의 인공구조물에 의해 조류의 순환양상이 변화되었기 때문으로 해석된다.
