The objective of this study is to develop the accurate, robust and high resolution two-dimensional numerical model that solves the computationally difficult hydraulic problems, including the wave front propagation over dry bed and abrupt change in bathymetry. The developed model in this study solves the conservative form of the two-dimensional shallow water equations using an unsplit finite volume scheme and HLLC approximate Riemann solvers to compute the interface fluxes. Bed-slope term is discretized by the divergence theorem in the framework of FVM for application of unsplit scheme. Accurate and stable SGM, in conjunction with the MUSCL which is second-order-accurate both in space and time, is adopted to balance with fluxes and source terms. The exact C-property is shown to be satisfied for balancing the fluxes and the source terms. Since the spurious oscillations in second-order schemes are inherent, an efficient slope limiting technique is used to supply TVD property. The accuracy, conservation property and application of developed model are verified by comparing numerical solution with analytical solution and experimental data through the simulations of one-dimensional dam break flow without bed slope, steady transcritical flow over a hump and two-dimensional dam break flow with a constriction.

Naeseong Stream is a natural sand-bed river that flows through mountainous and cultivated area in northern part of Gyeongbuk province. It had maintained its inherent landscape characterized by white sandbars before 2010s. However, since then changes occurred, which include construction of Yeongju Dam and the extensive vegetation development around 2015. In this study, long-term monitoring was carried out on Naeseong Stream to analyze these changes objectively. This paper aims to provide a dataset of the investigation on channel morphology and vegetation for the period 2012-2018. Methods of investigation include drone/terrestrial photography, LiDAR aerial survey and on-site fieldwork. The main findings are as follows. Vegetation development in the channel of Naeseong Stream began around 1987. Before 2013 it occurred along the downstream reach and since then in the entire reach. Some of the sites where riverbed is covered with vegetation during 2014~2015 were rejuvenated to bare bars due to the floods afterwards, but woody vegetation was established in many sites. Bed changes occurred due to deposition of sediment on the vegetated surfaces. Though Naeseong Stream has maintained its substantial sand-bed characteristics, there has been a slight tendency in bed material coarsening. Riverbed degradation at the thalweg was observed in the surveyed cross sections. Considering all the results together with the hydrological characteristics mentioned in the precedent paper (I), it is thought that the change in vegetation and landscape along Naeseong Stream was mainly due to decrease of flow. The effect of Yeongju Dam on the change of the riverbed degradation was briefly discussed as well.

The objective of this study was to introduce the current status and development strategy for the environmental restoration of stream side in Japan, and to consider the methodology which could be effectively applied to the environmental restoration of stream side in Korea. 1. We should establish a new paradigm of forest conservation and erosion control which can emphasize the restoration of the stream side ecosystem and reduce soil movement in the areas. Also, in the past, the objective of forest conservation and erosion control was to fix soil by constructing permanent structures. The direction of future forest conservation and erosion control needs to be new forest conservation and erosion control technology to prevent large scale soil movement but allow small scale soil movement to conserve sound ecosystem and biotic habitats. 2. In the past, the goal of forest conservation and erosion control planning was to fix the amount of soil movement by constructing permanent facilities. Forest conservation and erosion control planning in the future needs to change the techniques which could prevent soil movement from large scale of soil disasters, but allow soil movement effectively to a small and middle scale's soil movement. Also, it is considered to change erosion control dams from non passing type to passing type. 3. In the point of ecological conservation aspects, we should evaluate the effects of new forest conservation and erosion control methods which are emphasized on the restoration of the stream side ecosystem. Also, forest conservation and erosion control construction projects for restoring stream and river ecosystem should be planned for perfectly restorating their ecosystems by the way of sustainable maintenance and management. 4. The restoration direction of stream and river ecosystems needs to be restoring the diversity of small geographies such as waterway, shoal and puddles rather than flattening stream bed. And the restoration of the stream side ecosystem should provide continuity of the stream side environment which allows desirable biological habitats, and environmentally sound facilities to harmonize with the environment.

Sediment exchange in river has been affected by artificial changes such as dredging and abnormal climate changes like intense rainfall. Over last decades in Korea, there were many constructions, restoration or rehabilitation in rivers. Therefore, deposition and erosion become more actively occurred than before, which may threaten the river safety such as flood defense. For safety's sake, the dredging of river bed, which is considered as the most typical measure, has been increased to extend hydraulic conveyance compared with previous conditions. However, since it might change the sediment mechanism, there would be another risk at which unexpected side effects such as headward erosion could be occurred. Particularly, sedimentation at abrupt expansion region is able to lead to hydraulic characteristics like water elevation in the upstream region in the beginning of dredging, which, however, has been barely studied in this field. Therefore in this study, the relationship between sediment mechanism at dredging section and hydraulic characteristics in upstream region were presented through numerical simulations in the idealized abruptly widen channel using Delft3D. The ideal channel of 2,000 m length with each side angle of 45 degrees at abruptly widen expansion region was employed to consider the sediment angle of repose. The sensitivity analysis was performed on the dimensionless factors consisted of upstream and downstream depths($h_u$, $h_d$), width($w_u$, $w_d$), water level(H), flow rate(Q) and discharge of sediment($Q_s$). And the sedimentation amount at dredging and the upstream hydraulic characteristics were investigated through that analysis. It showed that $h_d/h_u$, $H/h_u$ and $w_d/w_u$ were more influential in sequence of effect on sedimentation amount, while $h_d/h_u$, $w_d/w_u$ and $H/h_u$ on upstream region. It means that $h_d/h_u$ was revealed as the most significant factors on sedimentation, also it would most highly affect the rising of water level upstream.

Recently, the concern of groynes that provide us with various ecological environment and improvement of scenary near river as well as hydraulic improvement has greatly increased for naturalized river and ecological river restoration. However there is no adequate design guidelines in Korea. Furthermore there is lack of research for installation of groynes in Korea. Thus, in this study, we have conducted hydraulic modeling test for kinds of groyne and changes of permeability and made a study of the analysis for installation factor of groyne. Experimental conditions were the fixed bed model for flow pattern of groyne tip and separation length about changes of groyne length and permeability. The Experiments were conducted to measure velocity and drift angle at groyne tip. The main study kas measured the groyne tip velocity for a factor of scour and drift angle for velocity increase at center of channel. We have suggested the equation about groyne tip velocity rate(tip velocity/ approach velocity) and area rate(groyne area/ flow area). And In recirculation zone of groyne downstream, To study the basic data of groyne about installation interval has analyzed the change of separation length and incidence angle. We have suggested the equation about separation length rate(separation length/ groyne length), changes of permeability and installation angle.

Unlike in the past, the world is facing water shortages due to climate change and difficulties in simultaneously managing the risks of flooding. The Four Major Rivers project was carried out with the aim of realizing a powerful nation of water by managing water resources and fostering the water industry, and the construction period was relatively short compared to the unprecedented scale. Therefore, the prediction and analysis of how the river environment changes after the Four Major Rivers Project is insufficient. Currently, part of the construction section of the Four Major Rivers Project is caused by repeated erosion and sedimentation due to the effects of sandification caused by large dredging and flood-time reservoirs, and the head erosion of the tributaries occurs. In order to solve these problems, the riverbed maintenance work was installed, but it resulted in erosion of both sides of the river and the development of new approaches and techniques to keep the river bed stable, such as erosion and excessive sedimentation, is required. The water agent plays a role of securing a certain depth of water for the main stream by concentrating the flow so much in the center and preventing levee erosion by controlling the flow direction and flow velocity. In addition, Groyne products provide various ecological environments by forming a natural form of riverbeds by inducing local erosion and deposition in addition to the protection functions of the river bank and embankment. Therefore, after reviewing the method of determining the shape of the Groyne structure currently in use by utilizing the mobile limit flow rate and marginal reflux force, a new Critical Movement Velocity(${\bar{U}}_d$) and a new resistance coefficient formula considering the mathematical factors applicable to the actual domestic stream were developed and the measures applicable to Groyne installation were proposed.

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.

자연하천은 자연적 인위적인 환경의 변화에 대해서 하천 고유의 특성을 조절하는 능력을 가지고 있으며, 하상은 하천의 변화에 끊임없이 반응하며 그 응답의 특성에 의해 복잡한 형태의 안정화를 구현하고 있다. 하지만 하천 내에 하폭 급변구간 같은 특이하도 구간이 산재하게 되면 하폭 급변구간의 직 상류 구간에서는 배수영향으로 인해 홍수위가 증가하게 되며, 직 하류 구간에서는 소류력의 증가로 하상 및 하안 침식을 야기 시키고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 하류의 일정구간에서는 유사의 국지적인 퇴적이 발생하여 하천범람의 원인으로 작용하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하폭 급변구간 직 상 하류 및 하류구간에서 발생하는 하상변동 특성을 규명하고자 하도특성 조사 방법에 따라 하폭 급변구간에서의 하도특성을 조사 분석하였으며, 이를 2차원 수치모형인 SMS 모형을 이용하여 분석 및 검증 하고자 한다. 감천 및 낙동강선산지구의 하폭 급변구간을 대상유역으로 선정하였으며, 하상재료의 이동성에 대한 평가 지표로 입증된 무차원소류력(${\tau}{\ast}$)의 분석결과 감천 및 낙동강선산지구의 직 상류 및 직 하류 구간에서는 하상의 세굴현상, 하류 구간에서는 유사의 국지적인 퇴적현상이 일어나는 것으로 분석 되었다. 또한, 2차원 수치모형인 SMS 모형 모의결과 전체 구간에 대해서 세굴 지향적으로 모의 되었으며, 하폭 급변부 하류 구간에 퇴적이 발생하는 것으로 모의되었다. 하지만 하폭 급변구간 상류에서의 국지적인 유사 퇴적양상은 수치모의 결과 확인 할 수 없었다. 이는 수치모형의 한계로 판단된다. 하도특성 및 수치모의 결과 하폭 급변구간 하류에서 유사의 국지적인 퇴적이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 실제 하천에서의 하폭 급변부 하류구간에서의 하상미지형 변화에 의한 국지적 유사퇴적 현상을 입증된 거라 할 수 있다.

자연 상태의 하천의 하상은 흐름에 의해 끊임없이 변하지만 기록적인 홍수 등 특별한 자연 현상이 없는 한 유사이송에 평형을 이룬 상태라 할 수 있다. 하지만 유역 토지이용의 변화와 골재 채취, 댐과 저수지의 건설 등과 같은 인위적인 요인들은 하천의 평형 상태를 파괴하고 유사이송문제 및 하상변화 등과 같은 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 따라서 홍수피해를 경감시키고 홍수조절을 목적으로 계획하는 홍수조절댐의 경우 홍수 발생 기간 외에는 상류와 하류 하천 간의 흐름 차단을 최대한 억제하고 상류로부터 유입되는 유사가 댐 상류부에 퇴적되는 것을 방지하기 위해 댐에 상시 개방되어 있는 배사관과 생태통로를 설치하도록 계획되기도 한다. 국내에서는 임진강 유역에서 홍수피해 저감을 위한 한탄강댐의 건설이 계획되었으며 유사이송문제와 생태환경 문제를 고려하여 배사관과 생태통로를 설치하도록 설계하였다. 본 연구에서는 1차원 HEC-6모형을 이용하여 대상 유역인 한탄강 홍수조절댐 상류하천에 대해 댐 건설 전과 후의 수위변화 및 하상변동 모의를 수행하였으며 지속 기간별 평수량과 연평균유량에 대한 장기하상변동을 분석하였다. 또한 과거유량수문자료를 이용하여 산출된 1년 동안의 대표 유량수문곡선을 HEC-6 모의에 적용하여 유량변화가 연속적으로 발생했을 경우의 하상변화를 1년과 100년 기간에 대해 각각 분석하였다. 그 결과 지속 기간이 길어짐에 따라 상류 7.8 km에서는 퇴적과 침식 작용이 활발히 일어남을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 댐 건설 전과 후의 하상 변화의 차이가 크지 않았다. 또한 연평균 유량 조건을 복합적으로 적용했을 때가 지속적인 연평균유량을 적용했을 때보다 하상변화가 더 크게 발생하였다.

하천유황, 하상재료, 하도지형의 자연적 또는 인위적 변화에 의한 장 단기적 하상변동의 해석 및 예측은 하천계획 및 관리를 위해 필수적이다. 특히, 제방 축조 등의 인위적 정비로 충적층 발달이 미약한 우리나라 하천은 상대적으로 종단형의 변화가 중요한 문제로 등장하였다. 하천의 이수, 치수 및 환경기능에 복합적으로 영향을 미치는 장기적인 하상변동 예측을 국가하천 형산강에 대해여 HEC6 모형과 GSTARS 모형을 이용하여 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 $2006{\sim}2007$년 동안 형산강에서 직접 실측한 유량-유사량, 하상토, 하천측량자료를 GSTARS와 HEC6 모형에 적용하여 장기 하상변동을 모의하고 그 결과 값을 비교 분석하였다. 수위표 지점인 형산교(모아), 강동대교(안강), 국당2교(부조), 신형산교(대송)를 내부경계조건으로, HEC-RAS를 통하여 조도계수 값을 보정하였으며 유량 값은 유황곡선을 통하여 연간유입량을 각 날짜별로 구성하였다. 모형의 검증은 Laursen (1963), Laursen (Modified by Maddden, 1985), Laursen (Modified by Copeland, 1990), Yang (1973) 공식을 이용하여 최심하상고 변화량 제곱근 오차가 가장 작은 공식을 선정하였다. 2006년 형산강에서 실측된 하천측량자료를 이용하여 14년간 장기하상을 모의해 본 결과 형산강 유역에서는 Laursen (Modified by Copeland, 1990, HEC6)와 Laursen (1958, GSTARS)공식이 가장 작은 오차를 나타내었으며 HEC6와 GSTARS는 하상변동의 경향을 잘 나타내었다. 형산강의 전반적인 하상변동 경향은 상류지역은 전반적으로 하상이 저하하였고 하류지역은 하상이 상승하였다. 또한 하류부는 하상이 안정화를 이루고 있어 변화가 적은 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 검증 기간 동안의 골재채취와 보의 설치 등의 외부 여건과 신뢰성 있는 유입유량을 반영하지 못하였기 때문에 보다 나은 결과를 얻기 위해서는 지속적인 유량-유사량의 관측과 자료의 보완 및 정밀 조사 분석이 필요하다.
