Abstract
A numerical model was developed to predict the stage-discharge curve and lateral distribution of unit discharge in open channels with nonuniform cross section or compound open-channels. The governing equation is the one-dimensional momentum equation based on assumptions of the steady and uniform flow conditions in the longitudinal direction and the uniform water surface elevation in a cross section. Vegetative drag force term was included in governing equation in order to reflect the effect of floodplain vegetation on the flow characteristics. Finite element method was applied to obtain the numerical solution of the governing equation. Stage-discharge curve and lateral distribution of unit discharge for a given water surface are calculated based on input data, such as the cross sectional geometry, Manning's roughness coefficient, vegetative information and longitudinal slope of channel bed. The developed model was verified by comparing the calculated results with the observed data and the results of Darby and Thorne's(1996) model and the nonlinear k-$\epsilon$ model. The verified model was applied to estimate the upstream boundary conditions in two-dimensional flow model. The numerical results using laterally distributed unit discharge were compared with those obtained using uniformly distributed unit discharge in two-dimensional flow model.
본 연구에서는 복단면개수로및 불규칙한 하상을보이는 횡단면 상에서의 수위-유량곡선 및단위유량횡분포예측을 위한 유한요소모형을 개발하였다. 지배방정식은 정상류와 종방향 등류를 가정한 운동량방정식을 이용하며, 수면은 횡단면에 걸쳐 일정하다고 가정한다. 홍수터 식생의 영향을 반영하기 위해 식생항력이 지배방정식에 포함되었으며, 수치해를 구하기 위해 유한요소법을 적용하였다. 단면형상과 Manning의 조도계수, 식생정보, 종방향 하상경사를 입력자료로 수위-유량 곡선을 예측 가능하며, 주어진 수위에서의 흐름방향 단위유량의 횡방향 분포를 예측할 수 있다. 개발된 모형의 검증을 위해 실측자료 및 Darby and Thorne (1996)의 모형 결과, 그리고 비선형 k-$\epsilon$ 모형의 결과와도 비교하였다. 검증된 모형의 알고리즘을 2차원 모형의 상류단 경계조건 설정에 활용하여, 유입유량을 절점별 단위유량으로 분배시켰을 때와 그렇지 않았을 때의 결과를 비교하였다.
