A horizontally curvilinear non-hydrostatic free surface model that was applicable to three-dimensional viscous flows was developed. The proposed model employed a top-layer equation to close kinematic free-surface boundary condition, and an isotropic k-${\varepsilon}$ model to close turbulence viscosity in the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation. The model solved the governing equations with a fractional step method, which solved intermediate velocities in the advection-diffusion step, and corrects these provisional velocities by accounting for source terms including pressure gradient and gravity acceleration. Numerical applications were implemented to the wind-driven currents in a two-dimensional closed basin, the flow in a steep-sided trench, and the flow in a strongly-curved channel accounting for secondary current by the centrifugal force. Through the numerical simulations, the model showed its capability that were in good agreement with experimental data with respect to free surface elevation, velocity, and turbulence characteristics.

This paper presents a quasi-steady model for numerical simulations of reservoir sedimentation and reservoir flushing. The quasi-steady model is based on the assumption that the flow is steady with time-dependent stream morphology change. This is reasonable because stream morphology changes over a long period, while the flow changes rapidly. The proposed model is first applied to two laboratory experiments for reservoir sedimentation. The channel is shown to be adjusted to new sediment supply at the upstream by changing both the flow depth and slope. Simulated water surface and bed profiles compare favorably to measured data. The model is also applied to reservoir flushing. Good agreement between simulated and measured data is not obtained due to time variation of outflow generated to facilitate the flushing in the experiment. Finally, relationships for equilibrium flow depth and bed slope are proposed and tested through numerical experiments.

In this study, FESWMS FST2DH model was used to analyze the change of flow characteristics after making the riparian forest. The additional flow resistance is calculated based on the drag-force concept acting on each tree and the lateral momentum transfer between planted and non-planted zone could be satisfactorily reproduced by parabolic turbulence model in this depth-averaged 2-D numerical model. For model validation, the simulated velocities were compared with the measured data, showing good agreement in both tree density cases of experiments. The previous method using a proper Manning's n coefficient gives reasonable solutions only to evaluate the conveyance, but the calculated approach velocity at each tree was different from realistic value. The proposed procedure could be widely used to evaluate hydraulic effects of riparian trees in practical engineering.

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.

In this paper a numerical model and two analytical models in the hydraulically connected stream-aquifer system were analyzed to compare the induced infiltration rate curves derived from each model. And we also examined the effects of anisotropy of hydraulic conductivity and the direction of the ambient ground water flow on the quantification of the induced infiltration rate. The induced infiltration rate curve determined by models is very simple and useful for estimating the induced infiltration rate since it contains only four physical variables such as the induced infiltration rate, the pumping rate, the distance between the pumping well and the stream, and the ambient ground water flow rate. Under the conditions tested in this paper the induced infiltration rate curves resulted from the Wilson's analytical model and FEWA numerical model were in good agreement, and the anisotropic ratio of hydraulic conductivity was evaluated as a physical factor which influences the behaviour of the induced infiltration rate curve. The methods and results of the paper might Icad to improve the understanding of the induced infiltration phenomenon and can be applied to the planning and disign of pumping well and the optimal determination of the induced infiltration rate and pumping rate for water quality management of the water supply wells.

This paper is concerned with the development of a three-dimensional numerical model for coastal circulation and heat transport with improved prediction ability. The model uses fully nonlinear, time-dependent three-dimensional, $\sigma$-transformed equations of motion and equation of heat transport The model was verified with experimental data for wind-driven current in a one-dimensional channel and thermal jets flowing into stagnant waters and applied for unsteady flow induced by tide and thermal jets in coastal waters around Kori nuclear power plant. The model results were in good agreements with experimental data sets for wind-driven current and thermal jet, and field observed data sets in coastal waters. This study has shown that the $\kappa$-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model is applicable to various coastal conditions without any modification of turbulence constants.

This paper describes a finite volume, two-dimensional model. It adopts a recently developed essentially non-oscillatory(ENO) schemes based on the Lax-Friedrichs solver, which was modified for a finite volume grid, and employs a modified MUSCL(Monotonic Upstream centered Scheme for Conservation Law) for second-order accuracy in space. To demonstrate the applications of the model, it is applied to solve the 1-D and 2-D dam-break problems. The model in conjunction with the modified MUSCL showed a better agreement with analytical solutions than the minmod function in 1-D dam-break problems and is satisfactorily validated with documented published data in 2-D dam-break problems. The model was applied to tidal wane entering channel at one end, and the results showed a good agreement with analytical solutions. In the channel with reflective boundary conditions specified at the extremities, the model was capable of accurately simulating the wave propagation.

수심평균 2차원 혼합모형은 하천환경에서 다양한 용존성 오염물질의 혼합현상을 모의하기 위해 널리 활용되어왔다. 2차원 혼합모형에서 분산계수는 하천의 전단 흐름에 의해 야기되는 오염물질의 퍼짐 현상을 표현하는 중요한 인자로서 작용하기 때문에 정교한 오염물질 혼합거동을 모의하기 위해서는 적합한 분산계수를 산정하는 것이 필수적이다. 분산계수를 실험적으로 산정하는 방법으로는 크게 모멘트법과 추적법으로 나뉘며, 비정상상태의 혼합거동에 대해 종방향 및 횡방향 분산계수를 동시에 산정할 수 있는 방법은 추적법 계열의 2차원 유관추적법(2D STRP)이 유일하다. 본 연구에서는 하천에 유입된 오염물질의 2차원 혼합해석을 위한 수치모형을 개발하였으며, 개발된 모형의 수치해를 바탕으로 다양한 Peclet 수의 범위에 대해 기존연구에서 제시된 2D STRP의 적용범위 및 성능을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석된 정보를 바탕으로 기존 2D STRP의 한계를 극복하기 위한 개선된 2차원 유관추적법(2D STRP-i)을 개발하고, 사행하천을 모형화한 실규모 하천실험시설에서 검증하였다. 기존 2D STRP의 성능평가 결과, Peclet 수가 낮은 조건일수록 농도분포의 예측 정확도가 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 하안 경계에 도달하는 농도가 증가할수록 부정확한 결과를 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 기존 2D STRP의 한계를 보완하여 더욱 정확한 분산계수를 산정하고자 하안 경계면 조건을 고려한 2차원 유관추적법(2D STRP-i)을 개발하였다. 2D STRP-i는 직교-곡선좌표계 기반의 2차원 이송-분산 방정식을 바탕으로 횡방향 유속분포 및 하안 경계조건을 고려할 수 있도록 개선되었다. 2D STRP-i는 공간적으로 상이한 이송효과 및 하안경계 조건을 적절히 반영함으로써 농도분포의 예측 정확도를 개선 시키는 것으로 평가되었으며, 하안경계면에서 농도가 증가하는 구간에서 기존 2D STRP의 결과와 비교하여 더욱 정확한 농도분포 및 분산계수를 제공하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The finite element model based on the 2-D advection-dispersion equation incorporating the dispersion tensor that is calculated using velocity field data was developed in order to analyze more accurately 2-D mixing of pollutants for meandering streams. The proposed model was tested using the straight channel that inclined at 45o in the Cartesian coordinate system. The simulation results showed that dispersion tensor model using velocity field data gives an accurate solution. The suitability of the proposed model in analyzing actual pollutant mixing in meandering channels was demonstrated by comparing the simulation results with experimental data obtained from the tracer tests in the laboratory flume. Comparison results showed that the proposed model with dispersion tensor can represents more accurately the mixing phenomena of the pollutants in the meandering channels in which the direction of the primary flow is varying periodically along the channel.

This study aims to provide a better understanding of the turbulent flow characteristics in swash zone. A double dam-break method is employed to generate the swash zone flow. Comparing with the conventional single dam-break method, a delay between two gate opening can be controlled to reproduce various interactions between uprush and backwash. For numerical simulations, overInterDyMFoam based on OpenFOAM is adopted. Using overInterDyMFoam, interface between two immiscible fluids having different densities (i.e., air and water phases) can be tracked in a moving mesh with multiple layers. Two-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a standard 𝜅-𝜖 turbulence model for momentum and continuity. Numerical model results are validated with laboratory experiment data for the time series of water depth and streamwise velocity. Turbulent kinetic energy distribution is further investigated to identify the turbulence evolution for each flow regime (i.e., uprush, backwash, and swash-swash interaction).
