하천에서 물 흐름이 보와 댐과 같은 수공구조물을 지날 때 일반적으로 흐름상태에 다양하고 급진적인 변화가 발생한다. 특히 흐름이 구조물을 지나면서 사류(supercritical flow)로 변하고 다시 상류(subcritical flow)로 복원되면서 일어나는 도수(hydraulic jump) 현상은 수위의 급변화, 흐름 에너지 소산, 변동성이 강한 압력 분포 등이 특징이다. 이러한 흐름 특성들은 보나 여수로와 같은 수공구조물 자체의 성능뿐만 아니라 이들 수공구조물의 하류에서 발생하는 국부세굴로 인해 구조물의 안정성에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 수공구조물을 설계할 때는 이들 구조물을 통과하는 흐름의 비정상 난류 흐름 특성을 정확하게 해석하여 반영하여야 한다. 이 연구에서는 k-omega SST 난류 모형과 자유수면의 급격한 변동을 해석하기 위한 하이브리드-VOF(hybrid volume of fluid)기법을 이용하여 도수현상을 수치적으로 재현하고자 한다. 기존 CFD(computational fluid Dynamics) 모델링에서는 자유수면 변동의 영향을 고려하기 위해 VOF 기법을 많이 사용하였다. 하지면 전통적인 VOF 기법은 다상흐름(multiphase flow)을 오직 부피분율(volume fraction)의 함수로만 고려하며 모의함으로써 강한 수면변동뿐만 아니라 공기연행(air entrainment)를 동반하는 난류 흐름을 모의하는데는 한계가 있다. 이 연구에서 이용하는 Eulerian 기법인 하이브리드 VOF 기법은 물과 공기의 각 상에 대하여 흐름 특성들을 개별적으로 계산하기 때문에 공기연행을 포함한 급변류 흐름에서 전통적인 VOF 기법보다 적용성이 우수하다. 이와 같은 난류모형과 자유수면 포착기법을 이용하여 3차원 비정상 난류 흐름 수치모형을 구축하여 수공구조물 주변에서 발생하는 강한 공기연행과 난류 특성를 보이는 급변류를 수치적으로 재현한다. 이 연구는 계산된 수치해석 결과를 기존 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 수치모형의 적용성을 평가하고 도수 현상에서 발생하는 독특한 흐름 특성을 제시한다.

우리나라의 자연하천은 대부분 사행하천으로 이루어져 있다. 특히 사행하천의 만곡부에서는 2차류가 발생할 수 있으며, 이는 만곡부의 흐름에 비선형적인 영향을 미치게 되어 흐름과 유사이송에 대해 복잡한 상호작용을 하게 된다. 하천에 서식하고 있는 식생 또한 흐름에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 더군다나, 댐으로 인한 유사의 차단과 방류량 통제는 댐 하류 구간에 영향을 주게 되어 식생활착을 야기할 수 있으며 활착 이후에는 통제가 어려울 정도로 식생밀도가 증가하며 번성하기도 한다. 이러한 현상이 지속되면 식생으로 인해 통수능이 저하되기도 하며, 홍수범람이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 만곡부 하도식생에 의한 흐름변화를 연구하는 것은 치수적인 측면에서 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 필요성을 고려하여, 2차원 흐름모형인 Nays2D를 활용하여 식생대의 밀도변화에 따른 흐름변화 예측모의를 위한 수치실험을 수행하였다. 연구지역은 사행하천으로서 식생대가 발달한 대청댐 하류 구간이다. 본 연구에서는 현장조사를 통해 구축한 식생특성을 반영하여 예측모의를 수행하였으며, 이를 위해 부등류를 기반으로 식생밀도에 따라 2021년의 식생현황, 전체벌채(식생없음), 솎아베기(2021년 식생밀도의 0.5배), 존치(2021년 식생밀도의 2배)로 가정하여 모형을 구축하였다. 모의결과, 전체벌채의 경우, 2차류에 의해 흐름이 만곡부 외측으로 집중되었기 때문에 만곡부 외측에서 수심과 유속이 증가하였다. 2021년 식생현황과 솎아베기, 그리고 존치의 경우, 공통적으로 만곡부 외측에 식생이 존재하고 있기 때문에 전체벌채보다 수심이 증가하고 유속이 감소하였으며 식생대 주변과 하도중앙으로 흐름이 집중되는 경향을 나타났다. 이를 통해, 전체벌채의 경우 치수적으로 만곡부 외측에서 2차류의 발달로 세굴을 야기할 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며 식생이 존재하는 경우에는 만곡부 외측에 퇴적이 발생할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 식생과 흐름만을 고려하여 수치모의를 수행하였으나 추후 연구에서는 흐름과 하상변동을 모두 고려하여 수치모의를 수행한다면 보다 세부적으로 식생밀도가 하천환경에 미치는 영향 이해할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

하천의 합류부는 두 개 이상의 하천이 하나로 합쳐지는 구간으로 서로 다른 특성으로 인해 급격한 흐름의 변화와 수리학적 지형변화가 발생하는 구간이다. 하천의 합류부에서는 유체의 물리화학적인 특성과 흐름 구조의 변화가 발생할 수 있다. 흐름 구조의 변화로 인한 유사 이송으로 세굴과 같은 지형적인 변화가 발생할 수 있다. 합류부의 혼합을 이해하기 위해서는 본류와 지류의 다양한 유입조건에 따른 공간적인 패턴을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 대부분의 합류부 연구들은 실측에 기반한 공간적인 패턴 분석의 어려움으로 인해 실내실험 또는 수치모형에 의존하여 연구가 수행되어, 실측자료에 기반한 공간적인 수체혼합의 분석은 매우 제한적이었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 하천 합류부의 혼합 현상을 규명하는 인자로 흐름 방향 유속, 2차류와 수심 등 기본적인 수리학적 인자들 외에 연직, 수평 방향으로 측정한 수질 자료와 드론 영상을 활용하여 합류부의 혼합 특성을 해석하고자 하였다. 수질 자료 중 하천의 혼합을 가장 잘 확인할 수 있는 인자로써 전기전도도와 온도를 활용하였다. SonTek ADCP를 이동식으로 횡단하여 측정해 흐름 방향 유속과 2차류, 수심을 확인하였다. ADCP를 운용함과 동시에 YSI의 수질센서를 활용하여 연직, 수평 방향으로의 전기전도도와 온도의 분포를 확인하였다. 또한, 합류부의 2차원 공간적인 분포를 확인하기 위해 드론 영상을 촬영하였다. ADCP, YSI, 드론의 계측자료는 한국의 낙동강과 남강 합류부에서 측정되었고, 분석 결과 계측장비 간의 경향성이 일치하였다. 또한, 이전에 진행된 해외의 합류부 연구 결과와 유사한 결과가 관측되었으나, 일부 부분에서는 다른 결과를 보였다.

Most of the reservoirs in South Korea are fill dam, and overflow and piping phenomena have been detected as the main causes of failure of fill dam. In this study, an operating ◯◯ reservoir located in Gongju-si is modeled in centrifuge model test to study the behavior of reservoir during water level rise and overflow conditions. In order to simulate seepage and overflow in the real reservoir, the model was constructed in 1/50 scale, and deteriorated and reinforced conduits were installed. After modeling the reinforced and deteriorated conditions of the conduits, LVDTs, pore pressure gauges were installed and centrifuge model tests were carried out with water level rise and overflow conditions in order to analyze the reservoir behavior according to the reinforcement methods. The results of centrifuge model test in water level rise condition show that deteriorated conduit has adverse effects in the stability of the reservoir body, and the conduit which is reinforced by the inverse lining method has enhanced stability of the reservoir body. Moreover, installation of water spillway is seen to prevent the scour and erosion of the reservoir body. The study provides a basic data required for the reinforcement of conduit and water spillway in the reservoir.

In planning the disaster prevention by the erosion control facilities, it is essential to focus on the microtopography of the channel bed and the chronological process of sedimental movement in the torrential streams. For this purpose, the microtopographical change of the channel bed and the effects of the erosion control facilities in the mountain torrents were analyzed by the experimental channel and the field survey of the torrents where low-dam series had been constructed in the channel. The results of this experiment showed that the effects of construction of the low-dam series on the channel bed fixiation were the prevention of the local scouring in the experimental channel and the expansion of flow channel width and deposit space. The results are summarized as follows : 1. When the low-dam series were constructed over the whole channel bed (L'/L=1), the conning water and the sediment were seperated, simultaneously resulting in deposition of sediment and reduction of the tractive force for the running water. Therefore, the F.A. (Fluctuation area in cross-section: value was decreased to about 65% compared with that of non-work (L'/L=0). 2. The efficiencies of the low-dam series on the channel width were increased with an increment in length of working space. After the construction of low-dam series on the whole channel bed (L'/L=1), flow channel width was increased to about 1.53 times compared with that of non-work (L'/L=0). 3. It needs a deposition area to store the sediment with decrease in tractive force. The low-dam series in the experimental channel widened the deposition area about 2.10 times compared with that of non-work.

Riverbank revetments are installed to increase the stability, while preventing scouring, and utilize the rivers; their construction is prioritized to secure dimensional safety that can withstand flooding. Existing revetment technologies employ use of rocks, gabions, and concrete. However, stone and gabions are easily erosion and destroyed by extensive flooding. Though the materials used in concrete technology possess strength and stability, the strong base adversely affects the aquatic ecosystem as components leach and remain in water for a long time. This serves as an environmental and ecological issue as vegetation does not grow on the concrete surface. This study introduces multi-layer porous riverbank revetment technology using biopolymer materials extracted from castor oil. Results obtained from this study suggest that this technology provides greater dimensional stability as compared to existing technologies. Moreover. it does not release toxic substances into the rivers. Multiple experiments conducted to review the application of this technology to diverse river environments confirm that stability is achieved at a flow velocity of 8.0 m/s and maximum tractive force of 67.25 kg_f/m² (659.05 N/m²).

The weirs built so far are mainly overflow type weirs overflowing to the upstream. Main advantages of overflow type weirs are, effective water resources management and easy design, construction and maintenance due to many accumulated studies. However, due to the special feature of the overflow type weir where water overflows through the upstream of the weir, the silt coming from the upstream is not discharged to the downstream of the weir. This increases the river bed and reduces the reservoir capacity, and as a result, the weir loses its function. A underflow type weir with a water gate has been implemented in order to solve such sediment deposit and weir maintenance problems. However due to the design problem of recently constructed underflow type weirs, the river bed of the downstream of a weir has been scoured. And this leds to a structural problem. In this study, the flow characteristics of overflow type weirs and underflow type weir, hydraulic jump length analysis depending on change of water depth and the amount of specific energy loss generated per unit length depending on a weir type have been compared and analyzed, for the effective design and management of the weirs. The experiment results show that, when identical upstream conditions of underflow type weir and an overflow type weir were maintained, the hydraulic jump length was up to twice longer with Fr(Froude number) 3.5 of the hydraulic jump length at the underflow type weir, and the hydraulic jump length gradually decreased as the downstream water depth increased. The comparative analysis result of the amount of specific energy loss generated per unit length showed that the amount of energy loss per unit length was twice higher for an overlfow type weir than a underflow type weir. Therefore, in case of a underflow type facility, an additional energy reduction facility is determined to be necessary for safety of water construction structures.

Typical flow regime of overflow at barrier or weir constructed in mid and small streams becomes as the submerged flow during most flood events. One of major causes of barrier failure has been reported as the levee-scour near the conjuction node between barrier and levee. However, most related design guidelines in Korea have not mentioned about the protection of levee around barrier or weir in detail. Furthermore, most previous researches have focused on the flow characteristics of overflow around several types of weirs but they did not have considered the material properties of levee itself. In this study, local scour near barrier was investigated with different material properties of levee under the submerged overflow condition which is assumed to reenact a flood event. Based on results from Fritz et al. and Mavis et al., a theoretical formula was also proposed in initial stage of laboratory experiments. And hydraulic experiments were carried out for the verification of the proposed formula. Levee was installed in the prismetic trapezoidal open channel and most parts were made of concrete except for movable section in which scour was expected to occur for the efficiency of experimental procedure. Each compaction of movable section in levee was followed by the basis of the KS F 2312. Further, after performing the experiments to find the optimum water content for each sediment, the specific amount of water was injected before flowing water. The difference between the proposed theoretical formula and experiment results was not much but considerable, which might be caused by the effect of compaction. For theoretical approach, it seemed that the formula did not take into account the compaction of levee, thus the correction coefficient for levee compaction determined in the literature was considered. Finally, the formula for the length of scour around barrier or weir was proposed, which can be useful to predict a levee in the reference design of revetment in mid and small streams. As shortly future study, scour length of levee around barrier or weir under different flow conditions such as perfect overflow condition will be studied and it will be able to contribute to suggest the design formula or criteria under all overflow conditions near barrier or weir.

In order to predict the seabed topography change due to the construction of offshore wind power structures in the west-southern sea of Korea, field observations for tides, tidal currents, suspended sediment concentrations and seabed sediments were carried out at the same time. These data could be used for numerical simulation. In numerical experiments, the empirical constants for the suspended sediment flux were determined by the trial and error method. When a concentration distribution factor was 0.1 and a proportional constant was 0.05 in the suspended sediment equilibrium concentration formulae, the calculated suspended sediment concentrations were reasonably similar with the observed ones. Also, it was appropriate for the open boundary conditions of the suspended sediment when the south-east boundary corner was 11.0 times, the south-west was 0.5 times, the westnorth 1.0 times, the north-west was 1.0 times and the north-east was 1.0 times, respectively, using the time series of the observed suspended sediment concentrations. In this case, the depth change was smooth and not intermittent around the open boundaries. From these calibrations, the annual water depth change before and after construction of the offshore wind power structures was shown under 1 cm. The reason was that the used numerical model for the large scale grid could not reproduce a local scour phenomenon and they showed almost no significant velocity change over ± 2 cm/s because the jacket structures with small size diameter, about 1 m, were a water-permeable. Therefore, it was natural that there was a slight change on seabed topography in the study area.

Groyne to control the direction and velocity of flow in rivers is generally installed for the purpose of protecting riverbanks or embankments from erosion caused by running water. In particular, as interest in river restoration and natural river improvement increases, groynes are proposed as a key hydraulic structure for local flow control and riparian habitat establishment. Groynes are installed mainly in groups rather than as individual structures. In case of groynes installed as a group, flow around the groynes change according to spacing in between the groynes. Therefore, groyne spacing is regarded as the most important factor in groyne design. This study aimed at examining changes of flows around and within the area of groynes that take place according to the spacing of groynes installed in order to propose the optimal spacing for upward groynes. To examine flow characteristics around groynes, this study looked at flows in main flow area and recirculation flow area separately. In main flow area, it examined the impact of flow velocity increasing as a result of conveyance reduction that is exerted on river bed stability in relation to changes in the maximum flow velocity according to installation spacing. As a factor causing impacts on scouring and sedimentation within the area of groynes, recirculation flow in the groyne area can lead problems concerning flow within the area and stability of embankment. As for recirculation area, an analysis was conducted on the scale of rotational flow and the flow around embankment that exerts impacts on stability of the embankment. In addition, a comparative analysis was carried with reference to changes of the central point of rotational flow that occur within the area of groynes. As a result of compositely examining the results, the appropriate installation spacing is proposed as min. four times-max. six times considering a decrease in flow velocity according to the installation of upward groynes, river bed stability and stability of embankments against counterflow within the area of groynes.
