Abstract

The ADCP is an instrument based on Doppler effect, which measures discharge of a river in a short time while crossing it. In this study we aim to make a comparison of the discharge results from a moving-vessel ADCP with those measured by velocity-area method at the same cross-section, and to investigate the characteristics of velocity and discharge data using ADCP. Bathymetry measured by ADCP almost coincides with that by direct depth measurements. Because velocity data from ADCP are essentially instantaneous, individual velocity profiles obtained by ADCP are rather different from time-averaged velocity profiles. But spatially averaged velocity profiles of the individual ADCP data near the comparable verticals have similar vertical velocity pattern with the time-averaged ones. The average velocity profile from repeatedly crossed data is also similar with the time-averaged one. In case of the velocity distribution, individual and spatially averaged data for the sub-width of mid-section method Have good agreement with those by velocity-area method. Discharge data determined by averaging several ADCP measurement transects have $0.1\%{\~}9.3\%$ of difference with those from velocity-area method, and as the number of measurement increases, the relative difference to the velocity-area method decreases.

ADCP는 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 하천을 횡단하면서 단시간에 유속과 유량을 측정할 수 있는 장비이다. 본 연구는 현장 하천에서 ADCP를 이동식으로 운용하여 측정한 유속, 유량 자료를 동일한 지점에서 측정한 유속-면적법과 비교하여 ADCP를 이용한 유속, 유량 자료의 특성을 살펴볼 목적으로 수행되었다. ADCP에 의해 측정된 수심 분포는 직접 측심에 의해 측정한 수심 분포와 거의 일치하였다. ADCP로 측정한 유속은 순간적이므로 개별 연직유속분포는 시간평균한 유속-면적법 자료와 차이가 있었으나 유속 측선의 좌우에 근접한 자료를 공간적으로 평균할 경우 그 차이는 감소하고 유사한 유속 패턴을 나타내었으며, 왕복하여 반복한 측정 자료를 평균할 경우에도 시간평균한 자료와 비슷한 연직유속분포를 나타내었다. 수평유속분포의 경우 ADCP의 개별 자료 및 이를 중간단면적법에 해당하는 구간 하폭만큼 평균한 자료 역시 유속-면적법 자료와 잘 일치하는 양상을 나타내었다. 유량의 경우 한 지점에서 수 회 이상 평균한 값은 유속-면적법과 비교하여 $0.1\%{\~}9.3\%$의 차이가 나는 것으로 조사되었으며, 반복 측정 횟수를 늘릴 경우 유속-면적법 대비 오차가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.
