Abstract

The particle filtration mechanisms in an infiltration trench should be varying due to the different hydraulic conditions during stormwater runoff. The understanding of these variations associated with different filtration mechanisms and their effect on the particle removal efficiency is of vital importance. Therefore, a LID (Low Impact Development) system comprising of an infiltration trench packed with gravel and woodchip was investigated during the monitoring of several independent rainfall events. A typical rainfall event was divided into separate regimes and their corresponding flow conditions as well as filtration mechanisms in the trench were analyzed. According to hydraulic conditions, it was found out that filtration changes between vertical and horizontal flows as well as between unsaturated, saturated, and partially-saturated flows. Particle separation efficiency was high (55-76%) and was mainly governed by physical straining during the unsaturated period. It was then enhanced by diffusion during the saturated period (75-95%). When the trench became partially saturated at the end of the rainfall event, the efficiency decreased which was believed to be due to the existence of a negatively charged air-water interface which limited the removal to positively charged particles.

강우유출 조건에서 침투도랑의 여과기작은 수리학적 조건에 따라 변화할 수밖에 없다. 침투도랑에서 유출시간에 따른 다양한 여과조건이 입자상 물질의 제거에 미치는 영향을 이해하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 도로강우 유출수 처리를 위해 설치된 우드칩 충진 침투도랑에서 일어나는 여과기작을 조사 분석하였다. 유출수문곡선을 몇 개의 영역으로 분리하고 각 영역에서의 여과 메커니즘을 분석한 결과 여과는 수직흐름과 수평흐름, 그리고 불포화 흐름, 부분 포화흐름, 그리고 포화흐름을 거치면서 진행되는 것으로 나타났다. 불포화 흐름조건에서는 입자상 물질의 제거효율은 55-76%를 나타냈으며 주요 기작은 물리적인 억류(trapping)로 나타났으며 유출유량이 크게 증가하여 침투도랑에서 포화흐름이 조성되었을 때 제거효율은 75-95%로 크게 증가하였는데 이는 확산기작의 작용 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 강우 중단 후 유출량 감소로 침투도랑이 부분 포화흐름으로 전환되는 시점에는 음으로 하전된 공기와 물의 경계면의 존재로 여과효율이 감소한 것으로 추정된다. 강우시 급격히 변화하는 수리학적 조건에서 발생하는 흐름조건 및 여과 메커니즘과 이와 같은 인자가 여과효율에 미치는 영향을 도출하기 위하여 변수통제가 비교적 용이한 실험실 규모의 침투도랑에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
