Abstract

Groynes are installed generally to protect the riverside or the river bank from the erosion caused by water flows by controlling the flow direction and velocity in rivers. In the past, groynes were used to secure enough depth of water in canals. As there has been a growing interest in river restoration and the natural river maintenance since 2000, groynes are proposed as a major environmental hydraulic structure because the flow control and various river bed conditions around the groyne can contribute to habitat functions. Groynes are typically installed in a series. In designing groyne series, groyne spacing is an important factor because the flow changes in the main canal and the flow inside the groyne area occurs variably depending on the groyne spacing. This study provide information to determine the groyne spacing suitable for the purpose of the groyne by examining the flows that variably changes according to the groyne spacing and angle in the recirculation zone of the groyne field. In particular, the formation of vortex, the location of vortex core and the water flow near the river bank, all of which occur in the recirculation zone inside the groyne area, were mainly analyzed to examine the flow characteristics near the river bank that influences the safety of the river bank area. The results of the experiment will serve as important basic data to examine changes in the river bed inside the groyne area as well as the safety of river banks following the installation of groyne series.

수제는 일반적으로 하천에서의 흐름 방향과 유속을 제어하여 하안 또는 제방을 유수에 의한 침식작용으로부터 보호하기 위한 목적으로 설치될 뿐만 아니라 과거에는 운하를 위한 충분한 수심 확보 목적으로 이용되었다. 2000년대 이후 하천복원 및 자연하천 정비에 대한 관심이 커지면서, 수제 설치로 인해 발생되는 수제주변 국부적인 흐름제어와 다양한 하상조건이 수중서식처 기능을 줄 수 있어 환경적 주요 수공구조물로 제시되고 있다. 수제는 주로 여러 개의 군수제로 설치되는데 설치간격에 따라 주수로에서 변화되는 흐름과 수제역내 흐름이 다양하게 발생하기 때문에 군수제 설계에 있어서 수제의 간격은 중요한 설계인자라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 수제간격 및 설치각도에 따라 다양하게 변화되는 수제역내 재순환구간의 흐름현상을 검토하여 수제목적에 따른 적정 수제간격을 결정하는데 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 특히 흐름분석은 수제역내 재순환영역에서 발생하는 와의 형성, 와 중심점의 위치 및 제방부 유속을 주로 분석하여 제방부의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 제방주변에서의 흐름특성을 검토하였다. 실험의 결과는 군수제 설치에 따른 수제역 내의 하상변화와 제방안정성 검토를 위한 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이다.
