Abstract

Fishways are constructed to ensure the fish migration because river-crossing structures such as dams and weirs cut off the stream longitudinal connectivity and influence on aquatic ecosystems. However, the passage efficiency of fishes varies depending on flow characteristics in the fishway and fish species. In this study, three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out using a RANS model and the volume of fluid method for resolving free surface fluctuations to calculate the turbulent flow in the pool and weir type fishway. The Flow velocity and turbulent kinetic energy in the pool of fishway are analyzed according to variation of the upstream water level and the length of pool. The present numerical simulations reasonably well reproduce the stream flow and plunging flow characteristics in the pool. The simulation results show that the stream flow changes to the plunging flow as the length of the pool increases. When the upstream level increases, the stream flow becomes more evident. Key parameters related to the fish migration within the fishway such as the flow velocity and the turbulent kinetic energy are examined to assess the ascending possibility of fishes.

하천에 설치된 댐, 보 등과 같은 횡단구조물은 수생태계에 영향을 미치며 종적 연결성을 단절하기 때문에 어류의 이동을 확보하기 위하여 어도가 설치된다. 그러나 어도 내부의 흐름 특성 및 어종에 따라 어류의 통과효율의 차이가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 RANS 모형과 자유수면 해석을 위한 VOF (volume of fluid)기법을 적용한 수치모형을 활용하여 계단식 어도에서 발생하는 난류흐름을 수치모의 하였다. 계단식 어도의 pool의 길이 변화 및 상류 수위 변동을 고려하였으며 이들의 변화에 따라 평균유속 및 난류운동에너지 분포를 분석하였다. 표면류 및 잠입류 특성을 잘 재현하였으며 pool의 길이가 증가하면서 표면류에서 잠입류로 변화하였고 상류 수위가 증가함에 따라 표면류 특성이 명확하게 나타났다. 어도 내 어류의 이동과 관련된 수리학적 인자는 유속 및 난류운동에너지 등이 있으며 이를 바탕으로 어류의 소상 가능성을 검토하였다.
