A Study on the Maximum Velocity and the Surface Velocity

최대유속과 표면유속에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient and useful equation of discharge measurement which can calculate easily discharge using only the surface velocity in both channels and rivers. The research results show: (1) Natural river have a propensity to establish and maintain an equilibrium state the corresponds to a value of the entropy parameter M; (2) Velocity distribution estimated by the method using surface velocity was compared with that of actual survey. It shows fairly close agreements between the estimated and the observed; (3) Developed equations for calculating the discharge using the surface velocity at the spot of the maximum velocity in a river section were established and show that the method of using fairly acceptable. An entropy based method for determining the discharge using only surface velocity in the rivers has been developed. The method presented is also efficient and applicable in estimating the discharge in high flows during the flood season that are very difficult or impossible to measure before, due to technical or theoretical reasons.

본 연구의 목적은 모든 하천에서 표면유속만을 이용하여 유량측정을 용이하게 할 수 있는 효과적이고 유용한 측정방법을 개발하는데 있다. 본 연구로 다음과 같은 중요한 결과를 얻었다. 1) 자연하천은 엔트로피 M값에 대응하여 평형상태를 유지하는 경향이 있으며, 2) 표면유속을 이용하여 산정된 계산치와 실측을 비교한 결과 상당히 좋은 일치를 보여주었으며, 3) 하천단면에서 최대유속이 발생하는 지점에서의 표면유속을 이용하여 유량을 산정하는 공식을 개발하였으며, 실측치와 비교한 결과 그 적용성을 확인하였다.
