The propagation and associated run-up process of nearshore tsunamis in the vicinity of shorelines have been analyzed by using a two-dimensional numerical model. The governing equations of the model are the nonlinear shallow-water equations. They are discretized explicitly by using a finite volume method and the numerical fluxes are reconstructed with a HLLC approximate Riemann solver and weighted averaged flux method. The model is applied to two problems; The first problem deals with water surface oscillations, while the second one simulates the propagation and subsequent run-up process of nearshore tsunamis. Predicted results have been compared to available analytical solutions and laboratory measurements. A very good agreement has been observed.

A transcritical flow occurs when the width and slope of a channel are varying abruptly. In this study, the transcritical flow in a two-dimensional open channel is analyzed by using the shallow-water equations. A weighted average flux scheme that has flux limiter with a total variation diminishing condition is introduced for a second-order accuracy in time and space, and non- spurious oscillations at discontinuous points. A HLLC method with three wane speeds is employed to calculate the Riemann problem. To overcome difficulties resulting from variation of channel sections in a two-dimensional analysis of transcritical flow, the numerical model is developed based on a generalized grid system.

A numerical model for the solution of two-dimensional free surface flow is developed on unstructured grid. By using fractional step method, the two-dimensional shallow water equations (SWE) are treated as two one-dimensional problems. Thus, it is possible to simulate computational hydraulic problems with higher computational efficiency. The one-dimensional problems are solved using upwind TVD version of second-order Weighted Averaged Flux (WAF) scheme with HLLC approximate Riemann solver. The numerical oscillations which are common with second-order numerical scheme are controlled by exploiting WAF flux limiter, Some idealized test problems are solved using this model and very accurate and stable solutions are obtained. It can be concluded as an efficient implement for the computation of SWE including dam break problems that concerning discontinuities, subcritical and supercritical flows and complex domain.

A compressible multiphase flow was investigated using a DIM consisting of seven equations, including the fifth-order MLP and a modified HLLC Riemann solver to achieve a precise interface structure of liquid and gas. The numerical methods were verified by comparing the flow structures of the high-pressure water and low-pressure air in the shock tube. A 2D air-helium shock-bubble interaction at the incident shock wave condition (Mach number 1.22) was numerically solved and verified using the experimental results.

Numerical implementation with a Cartesian cut-cell method is conducted in this study. A Cartesian cut-cell method is an easy and efficient mesh generation methodology for complex geometries. In this method, a background Cartesian grid is employed for most of computational domain and a cut-cell grid is applied for the peculiar grids where the flow characteristics are changed such as solid boundary to enhance the accuracy, applicability and efficiency. Accurate representation of complex geometries can be obtained by using the cut-cell method. The cut-cell grids are constructed with irregular meshes which have various shape and size. Therefore, the finite volume method is applied to numerical discretization on a irregular domain. The HLLC approximate Riemann solver, a Godunov-type finite volume method, is employed to discretize the advection terms in the governing equations. The weighted average flux method applied on the Cartesian cut cell grid for stabilization of the numerical results. To validate the numerical model using the Cartesian cut-cell grids, the model is applied to the rectangular tank problem of which the exact solutions exist. As a comparison of numerical results with the analytical solutions, the numerical scheme well represents flow characteristics such as free surface elevation and velocities in x-and y-directions in a rectangular tank with the Cartesian and cut-cell grids.

In this study, a time-dependent aspect of an embankment failure is considered to simulate a flood inundation map and calculate overtopping discharge induced by an embankment failure. A numerical model has been developed by solving the two dimensional nonlinear shallow water equations with a finite volume method on unstructured grids. To analyze a Riemann problem, the HLLC approximate Riemann solver and the Weighted Averaged Flux method are employed by using a TVD limiter and the source term treatment is also employed by using the operator splitting method. Firstly, the numerical model is applied to a dam break problem and a sloping seawall. Obtained numerical results show good agreements with experimental data. Secondly, the model is applied to a flow induced by an embankment failure by assuming that the width and elevation of embankment are varied with time-dependent functions. As a result of the comparison with each numerical overtopping discharge, established flood inundation discharges in the previous studies are overestimated than the result of the present numerical model.

In this study, 2D finite volume model, which can apply to the mixed meshes that is effective to treat the complicated topography such as a natural river, is developed. To do so, an algorithm for finding the neighbouring cell of a computational cell is introduced, and fluxes are computed using the HLLC approximate Riemann solver at each interface between a computational cell and it's neighbouring cells. Moreover, in order to numerically treat the bed slope which has important effect on the balance between flux gradients and sourte terms, different formula to compute the bed slope for rectangular and triangular mesh are applied. The developed model is applied to analyze dam-break in an experimental channel with $90^{\circ}$ bend and Malpasset dam-break in France. The two cases consist of mixed meshes and the suggested method is validated for the experimental channel and natural channel by comparison with the experimental data, field data and computed results.

본 연구에서는 임의로 변화하는 지형상에 적용시에 보존 특성이 성립하는 쌍곡선형 천수방정식 해석 기법을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 쌍곡선형의 천수방정식은 상류와 사류를 쉽고 정확하게 해석할 수 있고, 또한 Euler 방정식 해석기법을 이용한 다양한 해석기법이 개발되어 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 바닥지형이 변화하는 경우, 생성항과 플럭스항 사이에 수치적 해석기법 차이에서 발생하는 수치적 불균형이 발생하여 수치모형의 적용성이 현저하게 저하된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 현상을 개선하기 위하여, 기존의 표면경사법을 개선한 기법을 제시하였다. MUSCL-Hancock 기법과 HLLC 근사 Riemann 기법을 이용하였으며, 플럭스항과 수치적 균형을 이루기 위한 이산화기법을 제안하였다. 모형의 검증을 위하여 정상류 상태의 상류와 사류 해석을 수행하였고, 마른바닥에서의 댐붕괴파와 수직한 지형 변화를 갖는 수로상의 서지의 진행 등과 같은 부정류에 대하여 적용하였다. 적용결과, 매우 정확하고 수치적으로 안정된 계산결과를 얻었다.

홍수범람은 무제부에서의 하천수위 상승으로 인해 제내로 서서히 침수해가는 것과 월류로 인한 제방의 파괴를 동반하는 급격한 범람의 두 가지 형태가 있다. 기존연구들은 대부분이 월류에 의한 제방붕괴를 고려할 경우, 제방붕괴가 점진적으로 발생함에도 불구하고 이를 수치모형에 적용할 경우 갑작스럽게 지형을 낮추거나 초기지형으로써 제방붕괴를 가정하여 이를 고려해왔다. 본 연구에서는 제방붕괴를 시간의존적인 함수로 가정하고 이를 고려할 수 있는 서브프로그램의 개발을 통해 기존의 방법과 비교하여 그 영향을 검토하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 수치모형은 비선형의 2차원 천수방정식을 비구조적 격자계가 적용된 유한체적법을 이용하였으며, Riemann 해를 계산하기 위하여 approximate HLLC Riemann solver를 이용하였다. 기연구된 제방붕괴 고려방법과 본 연구의 시간의존적인 제방붕괴 고려방법을 통해 월류량을 비교하였을 때, 기존연구들의 홍수범람 해석결과가 과다예측 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 추후의 이루어질 연구들에서는 시간의존적인 제방붕괴를 반드시 고려해야됨과 동시에 이를 자연현상과 좀더 가깝고 효과적으로 고려할 수 있도록 연구가 필요하다.

In this study, dam-break flows are simulated numerically by using an efficient and accurate Cartesian cut-cell mesh system. In the system, most of the computational domain is discretized by the Cartesian mesh, while peculiar grids are done by a cutcell mesh system. The governing equations are then solved by the finite volume method. An HLLC approximate Riemann solver and TVD-WAF method are employed to calculation of advection flux of the shallow-water equations. To validate the numerical model, the model is applied to some problems such as a steady flow convergence on an ideal bed, a steady flow over an irregular bathymetry, and a rectangular tank problem. The present model is finally applied to a simulation of dam-break flow on an experimental channel. The predicted water surface elevations are compared with available laboratory measurements. A very reasonable agreement is observed.
