The adjustment processes and responses of a series of mining pits by sand or gravel mining were investigated by laboratory experiments. The filling processes of the two pits were affected by the bars developed in the upstream of the channel. However, the bars were not developed and the bed was degradated in the downstream of the pits due to little sediment flow, which was trapped in the pits. The submerged angle of repose in the pits was nearly constant when the pits were being filled. After the filling processes of the pits were finished, the pit was speedily filled with sediment, and the bed was aggradated and migrated with speed. However, the angle of repose decreased. As the distance between the upstream pit and the downstream pit increased, the bed of the pit downstream was tailcutted and degradated. The migration speed of the pit decreased. However, the dimensionless pit depth increased as the distance between the pits increased. The dimensionless pit depth increased with time.

울산광역시 울주군 온산읍에 위치한 회야강의 하구폐색은 1990년대 중반부터 주목을 받아서 연구 되어오고 있다. 하천의 하구에서는 일반적으로 파랑류, 취송류와 하천류 뿐 아니라 해류나 조류 등의 영향도 받는다. 회야강 하구는 이러한 흐름과 더불어 독특한 지형이 영향을 주어서 더욱 복잡한 흐름특성을 보인다. 이러한 복잡한 흐름의 영향으로 회야강 하구에서 사주가 강하게 발생하고 이로 인해서 하구폐색이 나타나고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 1997년부터 2004년 진하 방사제를 설치하였으나 이후에도 하구폐색이 계속 진행되었기 때문에 정기적인 준설로 하구폐색을 막고 있는 실정이다. 근본적으로 하구폐색을 막기 위해서 장기적인 관점에서 하상변동특성과 표사 및 유사의 이동 특성에 대한 과학적인 해석이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대상해역에 가장 큰 영향인자로 예상되는 하천류와 해빈류에 대해서 검토하였다. 하천류 검토를 위해서는 회야강에서 유출하는 유사량을 혼합입경의 관점에서 실험하였고, 도류제 설치 유무에 따른 하구역에서의 지형변동 및 하구폐색현상을 해석하였다. 해빈류 검토에서는 파랑에 의한 회야강 하구인근에서의 흐름장과 침퇴적 해석을 통해 하구 인근해역의 지형변동특성을 고찰하였다. 회야강 하구에서 혼합입경($d_{10}$, $d_{50}$, $d_{90}$)을 고려하여 하천류의 수치실험을 수행한 결과 유출시간의 경과에 따라 하구역의 하상고가 점차 상승하여 하구사주가 발달하고 이로인하여 하구폐색이 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 또 유송토사량에 대한 해석결과 홍수량 증가에 비례하여 유송토사량이 점차 증가하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 평수시에는 하천의 유출량이 미소하여 하구폐색현상의 주외력은 파랑에 의한 해빈류인 것으로 판단되며 이같은 외력조건에 의해 하구에서 연안사주 발생이 강하게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 파랑에 의한 해빈류가 회야강 하구에서 순환류의 형태로 나타나고 있으며, 이의 결과로 도류제 설치 후에도 하구부 인근해역에서 퇴적이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, a two-dimensional numerical model (Nays2DH) was applied to analyze the process of morphological changes in the river channel bed depending on the changes in the amount of flooding after fully opening the Sejong weir, which was constructed upstream of the Geum River. For this, numerical simulations were performed by assuming the flow conditions, such as a non-uniform flow (NF), unsteady flows (single flood event, SF), and a continuous flood event (CF). Here, in the cases of the SF and CF, the normalized hydrograph was calculated from real flood events, and then the hydrograph was reconfigured by the peak flow discharge according to the scenario, and then it was employed as the flow discharge at the upstream boundary condition. In this study, to quantitatively evaluate the morphological changes, we analyzed the time changes in the bed deformation the bed relief index (BRI), and we compared the aerial photographs of the study area and the numerical simulation results. As simulation results of the NF, when the steady flow discharge increases, the ratio of lower width to depth decreases and the speed of bar migration increases. The BRI initially increases, but the amount of change decreased with time. In addition, when the steady flow discharge increases, the BRI increased. In the case of SF, the speed of bar migration decreased with the change of the flow discharge. In terms of the morphological response to the peak flood discharge, the time lag also indicated. In other words, in the SF, the change of channel bed indicates a phase lag with respect to the hydraulic condition. In the result of numerical simulation of CF, the speed of bar migration depending on the peak flood discharges decreased exponentially despite the repeated flood occurrences. In addition, as in the result of SF, the phase lag indicated, and the speed of bar migration decreased exponentially. The BRI increased with time changes, but the rate of increase in the BRI was modest despite the continuous peak flooding. Through this study, the morphological changes based on the hydrological characteristics of the river were analyzed numerically, and the methodology suggested that a quantitative prediction for the river bed change according to the flow characteristic can be applied to the field.

Recently, most of the rivers in Korea are experiencing various problems in dimension and river environment, such as expansion of stable area where disturbance does not occur during flood, increase of excessive trees in river channel, fixation of river channel, reduction of sand bar. When the soil supplied by the flood is deposited in the river, the plant is settled in the formed terrain, and when another disturbance of the scale that does not erode there occurs after the plant is settled, the river gradually grows and the vegetation zone is formed there. In particular, in terms of river management, river forestation and river aggradation are objects that must be managed because they are disadvantageous in terms of flood control by lowering the flow rate and raising the water level. Therefore, in this study, the area of vegetation occupied by the year of sandbar was analyzed in the process of river aggradation in Jang-Hang wetland. In addition, the correlation between the growth of Jang-Hang wetland was analyzed through the analysis of the flow rate and the flooding frequency that directly affect the growth of Jang-Hang wetland. Through this, the management plan of Jang-Hang wetland, which is registered in Ramsar Wetland but has been river forestation and is undergoing river aggradation, was proposed.

중소하천에 기능을 상실한 하천 횡단 수리구조물이 많이 설치되어 있으며, 수리구조물 상류와 하류에 흐름 및 유사의 이송에 대한 연속성을 차단하고, 하천 교란의 원인이 되고 있다. 또한 사회적으로 수리구조물의 기능을 개선하거나 철거하여 하천복원의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내실험을 통해 하천횡단 수리구조물에 의하여 형성된 상류의 지형이 하류에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 흐름이 하천횡단 수리구조물을 월류하면서 직하류에 세굴이 발생하고, 상류에서 델타를 형성하면서 퇴적되었다. 상류에서는 사주가 형성되었으며, 하류의 지형변화에 영향을 주었다. 하천횡단 수리구조물의 상류에 형성된 델타는 하류로 일정하게 이동하고 있으며, 델타가 구조물에 도달하기 바로 직전에서 수리구조물하류의 세굴이 가장 깊게 나타났다. 수리구조물 철거 후, 상류에 퇴적된 토사는 흐름에 의하여 급격하게 하류로 유실되었다. 천급점은 상류로 이동하며, 두부침식을 일으켰다. 일정한 시간이 지난 후에 상류에서 유입되는 유사에 의하여 침식은 감소되었다. 시간이 지나면서 하류에서 교호사주의 형상을 유지하며, 평형상태를 유지하였다.

The present study aims to investigate the long-term channel morphological changes derived from channelization, embankment and levee construction works in unregulated fluvial channel of the Jiseock River. Analyses of aerial photographs taken past (Year 1966) and recent (Year 2002) showed the temporally remarkable changes in channel planform such as channel shape, bar migration, vegetation encroachment in bar. During the period, the natural single threading changed into braided types together with decreasing sinuosity by 9.2%, increasing vegetation occupied bar ranged 97% of total bars area. Because such channel morphological changes are closely similar to those in dam downstream channels, we assume that both/either flow regime alteration and/or sediment transport discontinuity may be critical for the fixed channel and spread of vegetated bars even in unregulated river without dam reservoir upstream. We found more reduced frequency and magnitude of flooding water level comparing with past, but no significant alteration of inter annual water level variation. Bed material has been coarsened by 4~5 times and the riverbed has been degraded in overall channel but aggraded locally in conjunction reach of tributaries. The results indicates that reduced sediment dynamics in fluvial channel which derived by bed material coarsening, river bed degradation and unbalanced sediment transport capacity between tributary and mainstem can be a causal factor to trigger channel morphological changes even in unregulated rivers.

Estuary is unique habitat ground under substantial changes of water quality, river side, bed material, and micro topography. Construction of SinGok underwater weir with excessive dredging for downstream of weir has changed hydraulic conditions of Han River. This study investigates spatial changes of estuary and expansion process of vegetation on sandbar for JangHang estuary in Han River through analysis of physical and ecological characteristics. As a result of investigation, we found that area of sandbar in JangHang estuary is expanded six times compared between 1985 and 2006, and area of Phragmites australis is gradually decreased while area of Salix subfragilis Anderson. is increased. Also the analysis result of soil layer shows that the Jang-Hang wetlands are created by effect from river, and woody plants are settled from middle part of wetlands, then spread to upper and lower part of wetlands.

Two-dimensional trend-vector model of sediment transport is first tested in the tidal flat of Garolim Bay, mid-western coast of the Korean Peninsula. Three major parameters of surface sediment, i.e., mean grain size, sorting and skewness, are used for defining the best-fitting transport trend-vector on the sand ridge and muddy sand flat. These trend vectors are compared with the real transport directions determined from morphology, field observation and bedforms. The 15 possible cases of trend vectors are calculated from total sediments. In order to find the role of coarse sediments, trend vectors from sediments coarser than < 4.5 ${\phi}$, (sand size) are separately calculated from those of total sediments. As compared with the real directions, the best-fitting transport-vector model is the "case M" of coarse sediments which is the combined trend vectors of two cases: (1) finer, better sorted and more negatively skewed and (2) coarser, better sorted and more positively skewed. This indicates sand-size grains are formed by simpler hydrodynamic processes than total sediments. Transported sediment grains are better sorted than the source sediment grains. This indicates that consistent hydrodynamic energy can make sediment grains better sorted, regardless of complicated mechanisms of sediment transport. Consequently, both transported vector model and real transported direction show that the source of sediments are located outside of bay (offshore Yellow Sea) and in the baymouth. These source sediments are transported through the East Main Tidal Channel adjacent the baymouth. Some are transported from the subtidal zone to the upper tidal flat, but others are transported farther to the south, reaching the south tidal channel in the study area. Also, coarse sediment grains on the sand ridge are originally from the baymouth, and transported through the subtidal zone to the south tidal channel. These coarse sediments are moved to the northeast, but could not pass the small north tidal channel. It is interpreted that the great amount of coarse sediments is returned back to the outside of the bay (Yellow Sea) again through the baymouth during the ebb tide. The distribution of muddy sand in the northeastern part of study area may result from the mixing of two sediment transport mechanisms, i.e., suspension and bedload processes. The landward movement of sand ridge and the formation of the north tidal channel are formed either by the supply of coarse sediments originating from the baymouth and outside of the bay (subaqueous sand ridges including Jang-An-Tae) or by the recent relative sea-level rise.

쇄파대 내외에서 흐름양의 연직구조는 소유사 및 부유사의 이동과 지형변동 등의 표사이동문제에 있어서 중요하다 특히 지면 근방에서 유속분포예측은 노면마찰력의 평가와 관련하여 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 해안에서 표사이동과 지형변화의 계산에 있어서는 수심평균된 흐름속도를 이용하는 것으로 충분하지만, 사주 또는 사연의 형성문제에 있어서는 3차원적인 유동구조의 파악이 필요하다. (중략)

It is important to understand the complex, various migration features of the alluvial channels for river engineering. In this study, the morphological changes and migration features of alluvial channels were investigated by analyzing the aerial photographs of active channels between 1972 and 2004 in Hapyeong Intake Station, Nakdong river. The lower channels were migrated from left bank to right bank and showed the features of braided channel in 2004. The instability of lower channels was increased due to the increased channel slope and width. The sinuosity of lower channels was decreased with time. As time increased, the increasing rate of lower channel and lateral migration rate were decreased. As a result of meso-scale regime analysis by using bankfull discharge, multiple row bars were developed, and suspended sediment load was governed in the flow as a sand bed channel.
