Distribution Characteristics on the Parameters of Vertical Tidal Current Profile at Uldolmok,Jindo,Korea

摘要

In general,the power law and logarithmic profile are commonly used as flow vertical velocity profile model.However,since the parameters of profile vary with characteristics of coastal environment,it is necessary to estimate these values from measured data using regression analysis.In this paper,we estimated the power law exponent (n),friction velocity (u*) and roughness length (z0) of logarithmic profile by analyzing measured tidal current data that are averaged at a interval of 30 min.In the results of analysis,power law exponent (n) was estimated to be about 10.75 during flood and about 9.3 during ebb.Meanwhile,u* of logarithmic profile was estimated to be about 0.084 m/s,0.105 m/s during flood and ebb,respectively.Also,z0 was estimated to be 0.004 m and 0.006 m,respectively.
