초록

홍수기 하천에서 유량측정은 예산, 인력, 안전 및 측정 시 편의성 등의 이유로 측정에 제한이 많다. 특히, 태풍 등으로 인한 호우사상 발생 시 위와 같은 문제로 홍수량 측정에 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 연구에서는 드론(Drone)과 전자파표면유속계(Surface velocity doppler radar)의 기능을 조합하여 최소 인력으로 짧은 시간에 간편하고, 안전하게 홍수기에 하천유량을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 기존 드론을 이용한 유량측정 연구에서 도출된 바람, 강우 등 기상 요인에 의한 드론의 기계적인 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 IP56 등급의 방진·방수 성능, 최대 36 km/h의 풍속에서 안정적인 비행능력과 최대 10 kg을 탑재할 수 있는 드론을 개발하였다. 또한 전자파표면유속계 측정에 있어서 주요 제약 요소인 진동을 제거하기 위해 드론과 전자파표면유속계를 결합하는 댐퍼플레이트를 개발하였다. 이들 비행장비와 유속계를 결합시킨 유속계 DSVM (Dron and Surface Veloctity Meter using doppler radar)을 제작하였으며, 봉황천(금강 제1지류)에 위치한 금산군(황풍교)지점에서 DSVM을 운용하여 홍수량을 측정한 결과 ±3.5%의 오차가 발생하였다. 또한 측정된 표면유속으로부터 평균유속을 산정할 때 정확도 향상을 위해 ADCP를 이용하여 동시 측정하고, 평균유속을 비교하여 평균유속환산계수(0.92)를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서는 드론과 전자파표면유속계를 결합해 측정한 유량과 ADCP 및 봉부자를 이용해 측정한 유량을 비교하고, DSVM의 적용 및 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In the flood season, the measurement of the river discharge has many restrictions due to reasons such as budget, manpower, safety, convenience in measurement and so on. In particular, when heavy rain events occur due to typhoons, etc., it is difficult to measure the amount of flood due to the above problems. In order to improve this problem, in this study, a method was developed that can measure the river discharge in a flood season simply and safely in a short time with minimal manpower by combining the functions of a drone and a surface velocity doppler radar. To overcome the mechanical limitations of drones caused by weather issues such as wind and rainfall derived from the measurement of the river discharge using the conventional drone, we developed a drone with P56 grade dustproof and waterproof performance, stable flight capability at a wind speed of up to 36 km/h, and a payload weight of up to 10 kg. Further, to eliminate vibration which is the most important constraint factor in the measurement with a surface velocity doppler radar, a damper plate was developed as a device that combines a drone and a surface velocity Doppler radar. The velocity meter DSVM (Dron and Surface Veloctity Meter using doppler radar) that combines the flight equipment with the velocity meter was produced. The error of ±3.5% occurred as a result of measuring the river discharge using DSVM at the point of Geumsan-gun (Hwangpunggyo) located at Bonghwang stream (the first tributary stream of the Geum River). In addition, when calculating the mean velocity from the measured surface velocity, the measurement was performed using ADCP simultaneously to improve accuracy, and the mean velocity conversion factor (0.92) was calculated by comparing the mean velocity. In this study, the discharge measured by combining a drone and a surface velocity meter was compared with the discharge measured using ADCP and floats, so that the application and utility of DSVM was confirmed.
