Study on the Characteristic of Tidal Current at Uldolmok, Korea

Abstract

Uldolmok that is a typical site of the tidal current power in the peninsula is famous for its strong tidal current, with a maximum 5 minute mean current speed of about 6.3 m/s observed mean surface layer, above 23 m from. The channel was confirmed that the strong fluctuation created when the time period of 5~10 minutes to occur, which occurs in amplitude of around 2 m/s. For a short period at a flow rate variation is an important factor in the generation and utilization rate calculation and evaluation. But the method using the observation requires a supplement of studies using other means it is observed time and space constraints. So we want to clearly grasp the short-period oscillations of the flow rate by adding the numerical experiments and eco-buoy observations that Eco-buoys is a device capable of observing the flow rate and flow pattern in the space inside the small built-in GPS sensor buoy.nfirmed that the strong fluctuation created when the time period of 5~10 minutes to occur, which occurs in amplitude of around 2 m/s.
