하천의 수위와 유량에 대한 정확한 정보는 이수, 치수와 같은 수자원 관리에 있어서 가장 기본 물리량이며, 각종 물이용 분쟁 해결, 수공구조물의 설계, 하천의 유사량 산정 및 수리 수문모형의 개발, 검증을 위한 기초자료로 이용된다. 그러나 유량의 직접 계측은 많은 비용이 소요되며, 홍수시에는 계측이 불가능하다. 지속적인 유량자료의 실측은 얻는 것은 매우 어렵다. 따라서 최근 수치 모형을 이용하여 수위-유량 곡선을 예측하고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 복단면 및 불규칙한 하상을 갖는 개수로의 수위-유량 곡선 및 단위유량 예측모형을 개발하고자 한다. 수심 적분된 2차원 운동량 방정식으로부터 정상류와 등류 조건을 가정하여 지배방정식을 구성하였으며, Manning 조도계수를 사용하여 자갈 및 모래와 같은 하상재료에 의한 전단력을 산정한다. 또한 식생항력을 이용하여 홍수터 및 제방의 식생이 수위-유량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

하천에서 식생은 하도내 흐름저항과 항력을 증가시켜 유속과 유사이동을 감소시킨다. 유속의 감소로 인해 유사가 퇴적되어 사주 발생이 증가하며 이는 하도 지형변화의 중요한 요인이 된다. 하천내 식생은 하천생물의 서식과 밀접한 관련이 있는 물리적인 서식환경을 변화시키게 된다. 이러한 물리적인 서식환경 변화는 수중음향으로 표현되는 하천의 음환경(Soundscape) 변화로 연결된다. 본 연구는 하천 식생대에서의 수중 음향변화를 식생유무, 수온, 수심에 따라 분석하고 수리학적 특성과의 상관관계를 파악하고자 한다. 실규모 하천 수로에 식생 38 주/$m^2$를 식재하고 1 m정도 성장시킨 후 식생을 완전 침수시켜 $3.2m^3/s$의 유량을 공급하여 유속의 변화와 수중음향을 측정하였다. 오후시간대와 새벽시간대를 이용하여 수온이 다른 조건에서 측정하였고, 수심은 표면 3 cm, 40 cm, 80 cm 깊이에서 각각 측정하였다. 측정지점은 식생구간의 상류지점(A), 식생구간(B), 식생구간의 하류지점(C) 세 곳을 선정하였고, 유속은 micro-ADV, 수중 음향은 Hydrophone을 사용하여 5분간 측정하였다. 측정 주파수 spectrum은 1/3 Octave band로 처리하여 음압을 비교분석하였다. 주파수에 따른 음압을 분석한 결과 측정지점에 관계없이 주로 125 Hz, 315 Hz에서 높게 나타났다. 수심에 따른 음향을 분석한 결과 식생이 없는 상류(A)지점에서는 수중음향의 차이가 크게 나타났으며, 식생지점(B)과 식생이 없는 하류(C)지점에서는 수중음향이 유사하게 나타났다. 이는 식생에 의한 유속의 저하로 인해 흐름이 안정화되어 나타나는 현상으로 판단된다. 수온에 따라서는 식생구간(B)과 하류(C)지점에서 대체로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 상류(A)지점에서는 수온이 높을 때 음압이 더 크게 나타났다. 이는 온도가 높을수록 소리의 전달속도가 더 빨라지기 때문으로 판단된다. 이처럼 식생의 유무와 수심, 온도에 따라 하천의 수리학적 특성이 달라지고 이에 따른 수중음향도 달라지므로 하천의 물리적 서식환경을 평가하기 위한 인자로 수중음향을 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The present study numerically investigated the influence of the waveform distribution on the tsunami-vegetation interaction using a non-reflected wave generation system for various tsunami waveforms in a two-dimensional numerical wave tank. First, it was possible to determine the wave attenuation mechanism due to the tsunami-vegetation interaction from the spatial waveform, flow field, vorticity field, and wave height distribution. The combination of fluid resistance in the vegetation and a large gap and creates a vortex according to the flow velocity difference in and out of the vegetation zone. Thus, the energy of a tsunami was increasingly reduced, resulting in a gradual reduction in wave height. Compared to existing approximation theories, the double volumetric ratio of the waveform increased the reflection coefficient of the tsunami-vegetation interaction by 34%, while decreasing the transfer coefficient and energy attenuation coefficient by 25% and 13%, respectively. Therefore, the hydraulic characteristics of a tsunami is highly likely to be underestimated if the solitary wave of the approximation theory is applied for the tsunami.

This study presents a numerical modeling of mean flow and turbulence structures of partly-vegetated open-channel flows. For this, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with vegetation drag terms are solved numerically using the non-linear k-${\varepsilon}$ model. The numerical model is applied to laboratory experiments of Nezu and Onitsuka (2001), and simulated results are compared with data from measurement and computations by Kang and Choi's (2006) Reynolds stress model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed numerical model simulates the mean flow well. Twin vortices are found to be generated at the interface between vegetated and non-vegetated zones, where turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress show their maximums. The model simulates the pattern of the Reynolds stress well but under-predicts the intensity of Reynolds stress slightly.

This paper presents numerical simulations of flow around a circular patch of vegetation using a depth-averaged two-dimensional numerical model which is capable of simulating flow structure in vegetated open channel. In order to account for vegetation effect, drag force terms are included in governing equations. Numerical simulations are conducted with various solid volume fractions (SVF). Flow passes through a circular patch and low velocity region, which is called wake region, is formed downstream of the patch. When SVF is larger than 0.08, a recirculation is observed. The location of the recirculation is moved further downstream as SVF decreases. Von-$K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ vortex street is developed beyond the wake region due to interaction between two shear layers induced by a circular patch of vegetation. The vortex is developed as SVF is larger than 0.08, and the location of the vortex is consistent with the maximum of turbulence kinetic energy. The location of the peak of turbulence kinetic energy is moved further downstream as SVF decreases.

Turbulence structure and suspended sediment transport capacity in vegetated open-channel flows are investigated numerically in the present paper. The $\textsc{k}-\;\varepsilon$ model is employed for the turbulence closure. Mean velocity and turbulence characteristics including turbulence intensity, Reynolds stress, and production and dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy are evaluated and compared with measurement data available in the literature. The numerical results show that mean velocity is diminished due to the drag provided by vegetation, which results in the reduction of turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress. For submerged vegetation, the shear at the top of vegetation dominates turbulence production, and the turbulence production within vegetation is characterized by wakes. For emergent condition, it is observed that the turbulence generation is dominated by wakes within vegetation. In general, simulated profiles compares favorably to measured data. Computed values of eddy viscosity are used to solve the conservation equation for suspended sediment, yielding sediment concentration more uniform over the depth compared with the one in the plain channel. The simulation reveals that the suspended load decreases as the vegetation density increases and the suspended load increases as the particle diameter decreases for the same vegetation density.

River vegetation has important functions such as providing a habitat for the river ecosystem and physical stability of the river bank. It also has adverse effects such as aggravating flood damages due to the increase in roughness coefficient and drag forces. River vegetation management is very important in finding a balance between flood and ecological management. There are still many uncertainties about the effect of vegetation on rivers. In this study, in order to analyze the effect of vegetated flow, the flow patterns according to the vegetation roughness are analyzed through a two-dimensional unsteady flow model for Chopyeong island of the Imjin River. According to the results of the 2D flow analysis using the HEC-RAS 2D model, the velocity distribution in the bend of the Imjin River was greatly affected by the vegetation roughness of Chopyeong Island. The formation of the main flow outside the bend of Chopyeong Island during flooding is presumed due to the influence of tree and grass on Chopyeong Island. If tree are distributed throughout Chopyeong Island, the velocity outside the bend is expected to be higher. River vegetation causes the effect of raising the water level, and could cause a change in the velocity distribution.

A numerical model was developed to predict the stage-discharge curve and lateral distribution of unit discharge in open channels with nonuniform cross section or compound open-channels. The governing equation is the one-dimensional momentum equation based on assumptions of the steady and uniform flow conditions in the longitudinal direction and the uniform water surface elevation in a cross section. Vegetative drag force term was included in governing equation in order to reflect the effect of floodplain vegetation on the flow characteristics. Finite element method was applied to obtain the numerical solution of the governing equation. Stage-discharge curve and lateral distribution of unit discharge for a given water surface are calculated based on input data, such as the cross sectional geometry, Manning's roughness coefficient, vegetative information and longitudinal slope of channel bed. The developed model was verified by comparing the calculated results with the observed data and the results of Darby and Thorne's(1996) model and the nonlinear k-$\epsilon$ model. The verified model was applied to estimate the upstream boundary conditions in two-dimensional flow model. The numerical results using laterally distributed unit discharge were compared with those obtained using uniformly distributed unit discharge in two-dimensional flow model.

The influence of unsubmerged resistance bodies in a channel turbulence flow on energy loss was investigated by hydraulic experiments. Square-shaped multi-piers were used for unsubmerged structure or rigid vegetation in an open channel. In experimental channel flows multi-piers were arranged in double or single row along the channel direction, and mean-concept uniform elevations were attained and measured with a set of discharges and channel slopes. Applying the experimental results to the Manning equation, the equivalent resistance coefficient n, which implicates flow resistance and energy loss due to bottom friction as well as drag, was evaluated with varying the interval of piers and the uniform water depth. And the experimentally evaluated n values were compared with the semi-theoretical formula of the equivalent resistance coefficient derived from momentum analysis including a drag interaction coefficient. From the comparisons it was found that the interaction effect of piers on flow resistance was significant for the overall energy losses in a channel flow. The n values decrease when the interval of piers in flow-direction is less than about 2.2 times of the pier width. And it was also found that the n values increase with the 2/3 power of water depth in the theoretical formula, since the drag interaction coefficient was found to be mostly dependent on the interval of piers.
