Abstract

ADCPs have been highlighted so far for measuring steramflow discharge in terms of their high-order of accuracy, relatively low cost and less field operators driven by their easy in-situ operation. While ADCPs become increasingly dominant in hydrometric area, their actual measurement accuracy for velocity and bathymetry measurement has not been sufficiently validated due to the lack of reliable bench-mark data, and subsequently there are still many uncertain aspects for using ADCPs in the field. This research aimed at analyzing inter-comparison results between ADCP measurements with respect to the detailed ADV measurement in a specified field environment. Overall, 184 ADV points were collected for densely designed grids for the given cross-section that has 6 m of width, 1 m of depth, and 0.7 m/s of averaged mean flow velocity. Concurrently, ADCP fixed-points measurements were conducted for each 0.2m and 0.02m of horizontal and vertical spacing respectively. The inter-comparison results indicated that ADCP matched ADV velocity very accurately for 0.4~0.8 of relative depth (y/h), but noticeable deviation occurred between them in near surface and bottom region. For evaluating the capacity of measuring bathymetry of ADCPs, bottom tracking bathymetry based on oblique beams showed better performance than vertical beam approach, and similar results were shown for fixed and moving-boat method as well. Error analysis for velocity and bathymetry measurements of ADCP can be potentially able to be utilized for the more detailed uncertainty analysis of the ADCP discharge measurement.

최근 수문관측의 측정 인력과 비용의 절감과 측정 정확도를 높이기 위해 초음파를 이용한 ADCP 유량 측정 방법의 적용이 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며 점점 그 비중이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 ADCP의 유속 및 수심 측정 정확도에 대한 자료가 부족하여 ADCP 측정 결과에 대한 신뢰도를 확신하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 직선하천에서 체계적이고 정밀한 측정을 통해 ADCP의 유속 및 수심 정확도를 분석하였다. ADCP의 유속 측정 정확도를 분석하기 위해 횡단면에 184개의 측점에서 측정한 ADV 유속 측정 결과와 ADCP의 유속 측정 결과를 비교하여 오차를 계산하였다. 그 결과 바닥을 기준으로 수심비(y/h)가 0.4~0.8 범위에서는 ADCP가 정확하게 유속을 측정하는 것으로 나타났으나, 수면 근처에서는 유속을 작게 측정하였고, 하상 근처에서는 유속을 크게 측정하여 정확도가 떨어지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 ADCP의 수심 정확도를 분석한 결과 하상추적(bottom tracking) 방식이 약 6%의 오차를 보였고, 연직 빔(vertical beam) 방식이 약 9%의 오차를 보여 식생이 활착한 자연하천의 경우 하상추적 방식이 좀 더 정확하게 수심을 측정하는 것으로 확인하였다. 그리고 고정 측정 방법과 이동 측정 방법의 차이를 검토한 결과 두 방법 모두 유사한 정확도를 나타냈다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 향후 ADCP의 측정 불확도 평가를 위한 기초 자료로 활용한다면 ADCP를 하천에 적용함에 있어 좀 더 정확한 유속 및 수심 측정이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
