The serious problem facing two-dimensional finite element hydraulic model is the treatment of wet and dry areas. This situation is encountered in most practical river and coastal engineering problems, such as flood propagation, dam break analysis and so on. Especially, dry areas result in mathematical complications and require special treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the wet and dry parameters that have direct relevance to model performance in situations where inundation of initially dry areas occurs. Several numerical simulations were carried out, which examined the performance of the marsh porosity method of RMA-2 model to investigate for application of parameters. Experimental channel with partly dry side slopes, straight channel with irregular geometry and Han river were performed for tests. As a result of this study, effectively applied marsh porosity method provide a reliable results for flow distribution of wet and dry area, it could be further developed to basis for extending to water quality and sediment transport analysis.

In this paper, three-dimensional free-surface flows are simulated by using two different numerical methods, the constrained interpolation profile (CIP)-based and finite volume (FV)-based methods. In the CIP-based method, the governing equations are solved on stationary staggered Cartesian grids by a finite difference method, and an immersed boundary technique is applied to deal with wave-body interactions. In the FV-based method, the governing equations are solved by applying collocated finite volume discretization, and body-fitted meshes are used. A free-surface boundary is considered as the interface of the multi-phase flow with air and water, and a volumeof-fluid (VOF) approach is applied to trace the free surface. Among many variations of the VOF-type method, the tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) and the compressive interface capturing scheme for arbitrary meshes (CICSAM) techniques are used in the CIP-based method and FV-based method, respectively. Numerical simulations have been carried out for dam-breaking and wave-body interaction problems. The computational results of the two methods are compared with experimental data and their differences are observed.

The filling pattern and an adaptive grid refinement based on the finite element method and Eulerian mesh advancement approach have been developed to analyze incompressible transient viscous flow with free surfaces. The governing equation fur flow analysis is Navier-Stokes equation including inertia and gravity effects. The mixed FE formulation and predictor-corrector method are used effectively for unsteady numerical simulation. The flow front surface and the volume inflow rate are calculated using the filling pattern technique to select an adequate pattern among seven filling patterns at each tetrahedral control volume. By adaptive grid refinement, the new flow field that renders better prediction in flow surface shape is generated and the velocity field at the flow front part is calculated more exactly. In this domain the elements in the surface region are made finer than those in the remaining regions for more efficient computation. The collapse of a water dam and the filling of a fluidity spiral have been analyzed. The numerical results have been in good agreement with the experimental results and the efficiency of the adaptive grid refinement and filling pattern techniques have been verified.

In this study, the effects of urban areas against flood waves due to a dam failure were numerically investigated based on the two laboratory experiments and the predicted water surface elevations at specific points showed good agreement with available measurements. In the first experiment, a relatively high water depth and the delay effect of flow at the front of urban areas are observed. The urban areas may become a large obstacle against smooth propagation of flood wave. In the second one, as the inflow increases, moreover, the water surface elevations can be classified into abruptly decreasing portion and slowly decreasing portion, and the first arrival time to the front of urban area is decreasing with the increasing inflow.

1982년 10월 21일 스페인에서 발생한 Tous 댐 붕괴 시 발생한 유출로 인하여 댐에서 5km 하류에 위치한 도시지역을 홍수파가 관통하면서 시간에 따라 변화되는 홍수파의 특성을 수치모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석에 적용된 수치모형은 비구조적 2차원 유한체적법과 불연속 흐름을 모의하기 위해 시간과 공간상으로 1차 정확도를 가진 HLLC 기법을 적용한 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역의 침수현상을 두 가지 Case에 대해 구성하였으며, 모의결과를 침수흔적 자료 및 기존의 수치모의 결과와 비교하였다. 첫 번째 Case는 Mulet and Alcrudo(2004)에 의한 수치모의결과와의 비교를 통해 모형의 적용성 검증을 하였으며, 두 번째 Case는 도시 지역에서의 건물 투수여부에 따라 변화되는 홍수파의 흐름특성 및 지점별 최대 침수심을 모의하였을 경우이다. Case 1에서 모형의 검증결과 수치모형을 통해 계산된 지점별 수심변화는 비교적 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻었으며, Case 2의 경우 지점별 수심은 Case 1에 비해 다소 과소산정 되는 경향을 나타내었다.

The safety problems of giant hydraulic structures such as dams caused by terrorist attacks, earthquakes, and wars often have an important impact on a country's economy and people's livelihood. For the national defense department, timely and effective assessment of damage to or impending damage to dams and other structures is an important issue related to the safety of people's lives and property. In the field of damage assessment and vulnerability analysis, it is usually necessary to give the damage assessment results within a few minutes to determine the physical damage (crack length, crater size, etc.) and functional damage (decreased power generation capacity, dam stability descent, etc.), so that other defense and security departments can take corresponding measures to control potential other hazards. Although traditional numerical calculation methods can accurately calculate the crack length and crater size under certain combat conditions, it usually takes a long time and is not suitable for rapid damage assessment. In order to solve similar problems, this article combines simulation calculation methods with machine learning technology interdisciplinary. First, the common concrete gravity dam shape was selected as the simulation calculation object, and XFEM (Extended Finite Element Method) was used to simulate and calculate 19 cracks with different initial positions. Then, an LSTM (Long-Short Term Memory) machine learning model was established. 15 crack paths were selected as the training set and others were set for test. At last, the LSTM model was trained by the training set, and the prediction results on the crack path were compared with the test set. The results show that this method can be used to predict the crack propagation path rapidly and accurately. In general, this article explores the application of machine learning related technologies in the field of mechanics. It has broad application prospects in the fields of damage assessment and vulnerability analysis.

국내외 발생하는 재난 중 70% 이상이 물과 관련된 재해로 분류되며, 집중호우와 태풍으로 인한 하천범람 및 내수침수 등으로 많은 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 특히 최근 발생하는 피해 양상은 과거에 발생하지 않았던 극한 강우로 인해 돌발적으로 발생하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있어 이에 따라 사전에 예측하여 미리 대비하는 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템의 구축 여부는 정확한 하천 흐름 예측을 필요로 한다. 하지만 하천의 흐름은 댐붕괴, 제방붕괴, 하천 하상의 변동 등 다양한 상황에서 급격한 흐름의 변동이 발생하며, 이는 하천 흐름 예측에 장애물로 작용하여 정확도를 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 특히 국내에는 산악지형과 수공구조물에 의한 불연속 단면이 다수 존재하고 있어 그 예측 결과에 대한 정확성에 대한 요구가 더욱 부각되고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 해당 문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 기법들이 개발되어 실무에 적용되고 있으나 어떤 기법이 국내 하천특성에 적합한지 파악할 수 없으며, 그 정확성과 안정성에 측면에서 여전히 많은 문제점을 가지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 불연속 흐름이 빈번하게 발생하는 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 확인하고자 유량보존특성을 만족하는 유한체적기법 중 국내외적으로 다수 사용되었던 기법들을 비교 및 평가하였다. 불연속 흐름의 대표적인 예제로서 'Dam-break problem'과 충격파 해석 및 홍수기와 갈수기에 따른 하천 하상의 마름/젖음에 대한 평가를 할 수 있는 Toro's Riemann problems에 적용하여 비교하였으며 그 결과 값을 정량적인 수치로 나타내었다. 이를 통해 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 선정하였으며. 향후 국내하천 환경을 만족할 뿐만 아니라 하천 종사자들의 요구에도 부합한 하천흐름해석 모형의 개발 시 많은 기여가 될 것이라 판단된다.

The wireless sensor network system has the advantage of confirming the behavior of the entire facility by improving the disadvantages of conventional monitoring system. As a result, it is widely proposed as safety diagnosis and measurement of structures, water management systems, and management systems for dam structures. However, there is a lack of research that can evaluate the condition of facilities such as safety at the same time as monitoring. In this study, it is proposed a wireless sensor network system which can evaluate the behavior characteristics of facilities and evaluate the safety status for improving the technical disadvantages on conventional monitoring system. The geotechnical risk factors for the reservoir dam facility were evaluated and the limit values for the risk factors causing the failure of the facility were set. In other words, the system was set up so that the risk factors can be measured and the limit status can be evaluated immediately for each factor. In this study, numerical analysis is carried out for seepage and slope stability analysis using the typical cross section for reservoir dams. The stress-porewater coupling finite difference numerical analysis is performed for establishing the limit displacement for reservoir dam structures. It is developed a system that can estimate the time to reach the critical value by regression analysis using the measured datas.

The Soyanggang Dam completed in 1973 was well instrumented during construction period. The measured results for stresses and movements of the embankment have already been published elsewhere, but theoretical analyses have not been made until now. This study intends to analyze the stress and deformation behavior of the embankment numerically which have been subjected to the load of materials during construction and water load during impounding. The constitutive law used for the analyses is hyperbolic model developed by Duncan et al., and a nonlinear incremental finite element analysis simulating its contruction steps is. used in this study. Hyperbolic parameters for each Zone are estimated from literature. The results obtained from the theoretical analyses clearly show deformation characteristics and stress vectors in arbitrary section of the dam. The analytical results ate well agreed with the measured deformations at the maximum cross section, however, there are some discrepancy in horizontal movements and in stresses generated in the core zone. From the numerical analyses and its comparison with the measured values, it is charaterized that relatively large construction settlements occurred in core zone, overburden pressure in the core zone was considerably reduced by arching effect, and tension zones might occur near both abutments because of the large horizontal displacement.

In this paper, we present a numerical model for fluid-structure interaction between structure built of porous media and acoustic fluid, which provides both pore pressure inside porous media and hydrodynamic pressures and hydrodynamic forces exerted on the upstream face of the structure in an unified manner and simplifies fluid-structure interaction problems. The first original feature of the proposed model concerns the structure built of saturated porous medium whose response is obtained with coupled discrete beam lattice model, which is based on Voronoi cell representation with cohesive links as linear elastic Timoshenko beam finite elements. The motion of the pore fluid is governed by Darcy's law, and the coupling between the solid phase and the pore fluid is introduced in the model through Biot's porous media theory. The pore pressure field is discretized with CST (Constant Strain Triangle) finite elements, which coincide with Delaunay triangles. By exploiting Hammer quadrature rule for numerical integration on CST elements, and duality property between Voronoi diagram and Delaunay triangulation, the numerical implementation of the coupling results with an additional pore pressure degree of freedom placed at each node of a Timoshenko beam finite element. The second original point of the model concerns the motion of the outside fluid which is modeled with mixed displacement/pressure based formulation. The chosen finite element representations of the structure response and the outside fluid motion ensures for the structure and fluid finite elements to be connected directly at the common nodes at the fluid-structure interface, because they share both the displacement and the pressure degrees of freedom. Numerical simulations presented in this paper show an excellent agreement between the numerically obtained results and the analytical solutions.
