In this study, a finite element model based on the SU/PG scheme was developed to solve shallow-water equations and the influences of parameters and internal boundary conditions on depth-averaged flow behavior were investigated. To analyze the effect of roughness coefficient and eddy viscosity on flow characteristics, the developed model was applied to rectangular meandering channel with two bends, and transverse velocities and water depth distributions were examined. As the roughness coefficient adjacent to wall increased, the velocities near the wall decreased, and the reduced velocities were compensated by the expanding mid-channel velocities. In addition, the flow characteristics around a circular cylinder were analyzed by varying the internal boundary conditions as free slip and no slip. The assignment of slip condition changed the velocity distribution on the cylinder surface and reduced the magnitude of the shear stress up to one third.

A depth-averaged two dimensional model TIFS was developed from simplified basic flow equations. The model was applied to tidal computations for the Biin Bay area near the Gunsan port. Vertical tides and tidal velocities for the tested was simulated for neap and spring tides. The simulation results were in good agreement with the obserbed data. This paper also attempts to evaluate model sensitivity from different initial conditions, roughness coefficient, time increments, and water depths. Among the selected input parameters, water depth and roughness coefficient were found to significantly affect vertical and horizontal tides.

This paper deals with a numerical study of flow-guider applied to controlling current in a bay. Two dimensional numerical model for tidal currents based on the depth averaged equation is developed and standard k-.epsilon. model is adopted to determine the turbulence diffusion. Equations are described in a generalized coordinate system to be implemented by non-staggered grid system and discretized by using finite volume method. Unsteady flow is simulated by fully implicit scheme. Hybrid scheme and central differencing are used to compute the convective terms and source terms, respectively. The tidal current in a rectangular bay is simulated and it gives satisfactory results. The realistic and distinct models of a large structure placed in bay are also exemplified with or without flow-guiders. The simulation results show that the flow-guider gives the residual tidal current in the bay by the different flux with respect to the direction of tidal current.

In this paper, a depth-averaged two-dimensional transport model is introduced, and its error bound is presented as the results of sensitivity analysis. The results show that the calculated SS concentration is highly dependant on Manning roughness coefficient, mixing coefficient. fall velocity. and critical shear stress. On the other hand, water level and dispersion coefficient are proved to be less significant in the variation of SS concentration.

A two-dimensional turbulence model for the surface discharge of heated water into cross-flow field has been developed. The depth-averaged continuity, momentum and temperature equations, are solved by an efficient finite-difference procedure known as SIMPLE. Turbulent stresses and heat fluxes are determined from a depth-averaged version of the $textsc{k}$-$\varepsilon$ equation. Results of test run clearly demonstrate its effectiveness in handling strong turbulent phenomena in very shallow near-field region.

The unproper development of the nearshore zone can enhance the diffusion of pollutant in the nearshore zone resulting in unbalanced sediment budget of beach which causes alteration of beach topography. Therefore, it is required to predict the effects of the envirnmental change quantitatively. In this paper, the depth-averaged and time-averaged energy balance equation is selected to acount for the wave transformation such as refraction, shoaling effect, the surf zone energy disipation, wave breaking index and bore, due to wave breaking in the shore region.(Numerical solutions are obtained by a finite difference method, ADI and Upwind. For the calculation of the wave-induced current, the unsteady nonlinear depth-averaged and time-averaged governing equation is derived based on the continuity and momentum equation for imcompressible fluid.) Numerical solutions are obtained by finite difference method considering influences of factors such as lateral mixing coefficient, bed shear stress, wave direction angle, wave steepness, wave period and bottom slope. The model is applied to the computation of wave transformation, wave-induced current and variation of mean water leel on a uniformly sloping beach.

Wave-induced currents drive nearshore transport processes, and hence an accurate understanding of wave-current interaction is required for proper management of coastal zone. This paper presents details of an adaptive quadtree grid based numerical model of the coupled wave climate and depth-averaged current field. The model accounts for wave breaking, shoaling, refraction, diffraction, wave-current interaction, set-up and set-down, mixing processes, bottom friction effects, and movement of land-water interface at the shoreline. The wave period- and depth-averaged governing equations arc discrctized explicitly by means of an Adarns¬Bashforth second-order finite difference technique on adaptive hierarchical staggered quadtree grids. Results from the numerical model are in reasonable agreement with the laboratory data of longshore current generated by oblique waves on a plane beach (Visser 1980, 1991).

The MOSU model, a depth-averaged two-dimensional sediment transport model, is applied to simulate the bed level changes before and after dock construction in Daemyung site. The model is a semi¬coupled finite difference model that can be applied to a river, a reservoir, a lake, estuaries, or coastal regions, The model is able to simulate the transport of fine sand, silt, and clay. The model parameters are estimated by qualitative calibration. A prediction result of the numerical model shows that the bed level changes due to dock construction are little.

The objective of this study is to develop an accurate and robust two-dimensional finite element method for turbulence simulation in open channels. The model is based on Streamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin finite element method and Boussinesq's eddy viscosity theory. The method developed in the study is depth-averaged mixing length model which assumes anisotropic and local equilibrium state of turbulence. The model calibration and validation were performed by comparing with analytical solutions and observed data. Several numerical simulations were carried out, which examined the performance of the turbulence model for the purpose of sensitivity analysis. The uniform channels that appear horizontal flow and vertical flow were carried out. The model was also applied to the Han river was in for the applicability test. The results were compared with the observed data. The suggested model displayed reasonable flow distribution compare to the observed data in natural river flow. As a result of this study, the two-dimensional finite element model provides a reliable results for flow distribution based on the turbulence simulation in open channels.
