This study examines the processes and the behaviour characteristics of forcing bars in channels with periodic variable width in the alternate and braided regimes by using a two dimensional numerical model. The wavelength and the migration speed decrease as the amplitude of variable width increases. The forcing effects of the width variation on the alternate bars is stronger than those on the braided bars. The bar migration speed increases as the dimensionless amplitude in the braided regime is 0.25. However, the migration speed is abruptly decreased as the amplitude in it was larger than 0.25. The bar migration speed increases in the alternates bar regime as the dimensionless wavelength increases. However, the migration speed decreases around 1 of the wavelength. As the bar wavelength and the variable width wavelength coincide, the bars don't migrate downstream by the strong forcing effects on the bars due to the suppression by the width variation.

교호사주의 기본적인 특성 중에서 하안 침식과 사행의 발달을 일으키는 기본적인 요소인 사주의 이동 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 사행에 따른 사주의 이동특성을 파악하였다. 본 2차원 수치모형의 특징으로는 직교좌표계를 변환하여, 하천의 형상에 적합하도록 일반좌표계를 사용하였으며, 하천의 만곡부에서 2차원 흐름특성을 계산하고, 하상변동을 모의하여 사주의 거동을 모의하였다. 사행수로의 사행파장과 하폭의 비가 사주의 이동특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였으며, Kinoshita와 Miwa(1974)에 의해 제시된 한계세굴각과 비교하였으며, 잘 일치하였다. 그 결과로는 사행하천에서 사행의 각도가 클수록 강한 강제효과(forcing effect)에 의해 사주의 이동이 정지되었다. 하폭이 클수록 사주의 이동에 대한 강제효과가 적어 이동한계각이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study analyzes the impact on geomorphic changes downstream due to alternate bars developed weir upstream through laboratory experiments. The disturbance, such as a spur in the side wall, of the flow at the inlet of the channel triggers the development of alternate bar upstream at the beginning of the experiment, and gradually moved downstream with keeping their shapes over time. The bed in the downstream of weir in the mid of channel scoured due to the scarcity of sediment inflow because weir upstream traps it. Moreover, bar migration speed decreases as the bars approaches to the weir with time. However, as time increases, the alternate bars upstream migrate over the weir, and sediment in the eroded bed of the weir downstream are deposited. The phase of the bar upstream changes oppositely after passing through the weir. The phase of the bar downstream changes rapidly as the shape of alternate bar is clear upstream, which is affected by the strong disturbance. The phase of bar changes, and the bar migration speed decreases gradually with time, and finally stopped due to forcing effects on the bar by the disturbance. The faster the reaction of alternate bar with a long spur, the larger the bar height formed downstream and the shorter the bar length. This means that the larger the forcing effect of bar, the more it affects the bar migration. In addition, although the size of the alternate bar increases over time, the bar doesn't migrate downstream and a forced bar is generated.

This study investigated the effects of a spur dike on the development processes, the migration, and the wave length of alternate bars with laboratory experiments. The bar wave length was shown to be shorter as the spur dikes got longer. The forcing effects of a long spur dike on the behavior of alternate bars were stronger than those of a shorter one. However, the bar height was not affected by the variation of the length of a spur dike. The bar migration speed was in inverse proportion to the bar wave length.

This study investigates the evolution processes of alternate bars in the channel with bank stability by vegetation by laboratory experiment. Laboratory experiments are conducted to elucidate the behavior of alternate bars by the influence of riparian vegetation on the rivers with erodible banks. To control bank stability of the channel, the actual vegetation, alfalfa, is grown by adjusting the density of alfalfa on the flood plain. As the vegetation density increases in the flood plain, the bank erosion rates and the channel widening rates decrease and the bank stability increases. The alternate bars migrate slow downstream over time. Moreover, the bars in a channel with strong banks migrate rapidly, which is related with the aspect ratio, that is, width to depth ratio. The bar wavelength decrease with vegetation density. Our laboratory experiments show that the behavior of bars differ according to bank strength.

This study is to analyse the characteristics of bar migration, which is important roles to bank erosion and meandering development, for the meandering channels with erodible bed by using a 2-D numerical model in the generalized coordinate systems. The results of the numerical experiments showed that the features of bar migration were affected by the meandering wavelength to the width ratio, and had a relatively good agreement with the criterion for bar migration through a bend suggested by Kinoshita and Miwa (1974). The bar migrated with speed in the channel with long wavelength and broad width, and the criterion for bar migration was increased. The bar celerity was decreased abruptly near the criterion.
