Most of the previous models for analysis of shallow water flow assumed the uniform velocity distributions over the flow depth so that they produced incorrect velocity prediction at meandering part due to the ignorance of secondary current. In this study, the vertical velocity profiles in longitudinal and transverse direction were decomposed as the mean and variation components, which resulted in additional dispersion stresses terms in momentum equations. The proposed model were applied at the channels with $30^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$ bends, and shallow water flow in curved channel was analyzed using dispersion stresses. The dispersion stresses acted as a sink or source in the momentum equations, which caused the transverse convection of momentum to shift from the inner bank to the outer bank.

Satae cheon, a tributary of the Suip cheon in Yanggu, Gangwon province, is an international river extended to North Korea. Most of drainage basin area of the river was the fierce battle field during the Korean War(1950-1953) and hard to access as it located between the MDL(Military Demarcation Line) and the CCZ(Civilian Control Zone: about 10km south from MDL). By the restriction of access to the sites, most of natural landscape have been well conserved except limited use for military activities. Even the landfoms in that area were not studied, except the government's heritage reports. Satae Cheon's channel follows the Imdang fault line(N-S) to Satae-ri and flow to west to the Dutayeon area. The river meanders along geological structure or weak line at the Dutayeon area. The meandering channel was shorten by the meander cut which linked the thalweg line of meander loop ant the meander neck. As a result of this cut, the river cliff formed by the Satae cheon became the part of newly formed channel bed and the S-forms are formed. After the channel route stabilized, channel incised the rock with large potholes and undulating walls were formed. The channel width changes from 1m to 10m with restriction of the undulating walls, so this part can be regarded as inner channel or inner gorge. From the point of planar forms it also can be slot-type canyon.

The development of the Hantan river basin can be divided into three stages. The first stage include the ancient Hantan channel system prior to the Chongokni basalt which yield dates of about 0.6 mya from the K/Ar dating method. During this period the Baekuyri formation was formed. The Baekuyri formation is widely observed under the Chongokni basalt along the current river system. The second stage is the period when stream channels stayed on the top of the basalt plateau. Aggradation and deggradation were continued by meandering and braiding channel systems until major stream channel was formed. The currently remaining deposit on the top of the basalt was formed by lacustrine and fluvial systems in this period. During this period Pleistocene hominid was present on edge of water and flood plain and left Paleolithic material. This period was begun at the time of the final basalt flow dated about 300,000 BP. The third stage is designed for the time when the Hantan river channel was dropped down to a level from which the channel could not influence the top of the basalt any more No more deposit could be formed but erosion by surface water has been continued on the top of the basalt since then. The dropping of the Hantan river channel was probably not very long after the final flow of the basalt. Because of frost action and heavy concentrated precipitation in the basin area along with blocky and clumnar joint structure of the basalt, erosional process of the basalt is believed to have been carried out within a relatively short time. The lowering of the Hantan river channel was probably completed in a cycle of major fluctuation of world cimate. Also, the redclay on the top of the basalt is believed to have been formed during a warm period around 200,000 BP, which accords with the climatic change suggested above fair1y well. The Paleolithic materials in tile deposits fell accordingly into approximately same time period.

In the present paper, turbulent open-channel flows with alternate vegetated zones are numerically simulated using threedimensional model. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes Equations are solved with the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model. The CFD code developed by Olsen(2004) is used for the present study. For model validation, the partly vegetated channel flows are simulated, and the computed depth-averaged mean velocity and Reynolds stress are compared with measured data in the literature. Comparisons reveal that the present model successfully predicts the mean flow and turbulent structures in vegetated open-channel. However, it is found that the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model cannot accurately predict the momentum transfer at the interface between the vegetated zone and the non-vegetated zone. It is because the ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ model is the isotropic turbulence model. Next, the open channel flows with alternate vegetated zones are simulated. The computed mean velocities are compared well with the previously reported measured data. Good agreement between the simulated results and the experimental data was found. Also, the turbulent flows are computed for different densities of vegetation. It is found that the vegetation curves the flow and the meandering flow pattern becomes more obvious with increasing vegetation density. When the vegetation density is 9.97%, the recirculation flows occur at the locations opposite to the vegetation zones. The impacts of vegetation on the flow velocity and the water surface elevation are also investigated.

In this study, the effects of sediment supply on the downstream of a large dam are investigated using a numerical model. The model simulation shows a good agreement with laboratory experiment results of sediment transport and diffusion from sediment pulses. The water surface changes from the various sediment bed elevations are also simulated using the model. The site which has a relatively stiff bed slope and meandering of a channel is selected as an appropriate location for sediment supply because of its shear stress enough to supply the sediment downstream. The model simulation shows the decrease of channel bed elevation through the simulation period with time. The well-deposition of sediment supplied from the downstream of dam is found in the location where the flow rate is relatively low. A bed relief index is increased with time and it is relatively greater in downstream compared to upstream. The channel bed variability increases as flow rate increases with a greater bed relief index. The results of this study demonstrate the importance of increasing water discharge of a large dam to increase the dynamic of channel bed and thus to enhance the efficiency of channel bed restoration by sediment supply.

The formative ages and processes of five natural abandoned channels in three types in Korea are studied. The former meandering channel in Seongsandong, Uljin-gun was abandoned due to the neck-cutoff of incised meander, Wangpi River in approximately 2.5~2.6ka and the abandoned channel in Bulyeong Temple, Uljin-gun was formed by the neck-cutoff of Wangpi River in approximately 90ka. Deduced from these results, it is judged to favorable for formation of abandoned channels by incised meander cutoff in interglacial or interstadial stages that had a better condition for meander cutoff because of active lateral erosion. Due to the corrosion of limestone joints in the underground of ridges between Hwangji River and Cheolam River, the channel in Gumumso, Taebaek-si was abandoned by the stream piracy connecting and combining the rivers into a limestone cave in approximately 40ka and higher lower reaches of Dong River than Banbyeon River in Seonbawi, Yeongyang-gun was turned to the abandoned channel throughout the stream piracy between the rivers in approximately 1.4ka. During Last Glacial Maximum in Jangcheon-ri, Chungju-si, Namhan River was divided into the eastern and western tributaries due to the alluvial island in approximately 10ka and then the western tributary was abandoned recently.

The understanding and prediction of the behavior of flow in open channels are important to the solution of a wide variety of practical flow problems in water resources engineering. Recently, frequent drought has increased the necessity of an effective water resources control and management of river flows for reserving instream flow. The objective of this study is to develop an efficient and accurate finite element model based on Streamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin(SU/PG) scheme for analyzing and predicting two dimensional flow features in complex natural rivers. Several tests were performed in developed all elements(4-Node, 6-Node, 8-Node elements) for the purpose of validation and verification of the developed model. The U-shaped channel of flow and natural river of flow were performed for tests. The results were compared with these of laboratory experiments and RMA-2 model. Such results showed that solutions of high order elements were better accurate and improved than those of linear elements. Also, the suggested model displayed reasonable velocity distribution compare to RMA-2 model in meandering domain for application of natural river flow. Accordingly, the developed finite element model is feasible and produces reliable results for simulation of two dimensional natural river flow. Also, One contribution of this study is to present that results can lead to significant gain in analyzing the accurate flow behavior associated with hydraulic structure such as weir and water intake station and flow of chute and pool.

최근 지구 환경변화에 따른 기후변화의 영향으로 이상홍수 발생의 위험성이 증가하고, 상습적으로 홍수피해가 반복되고 있다. 홍수피해의 원인 중 하나인 하천제방의 붕괴는 월류, 침식, 제체불안정, 구조물에 의한 파괴 등으로 구분되고 이 중 월류 및 침식은 제방 파괴의 주된 원인으로 최근 통계자료에 보고되고 있다. 제방붕괴의 주된 원인 중 하나인 침식파괴로부터 제방을 보호하기 위해 제내지 사면에 호안공을 설치하며, 하천설계기준 해설(2009)에서는 제방 또는 하안을 유수에 의한 파괴와 침식으로부터 직접 보호하기 위해 제방 앞비탈에 설치하는 구조물로 정의하고 있다. 특히 사행하천의 만곡부에서는 제방파괴의 위험성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 국부적으로 집중되는 유속분포는 제방의 안정성을 위협한다. 또한 원심력, 2차류(secondary flow) 등에 의한 수위상승 등에 의해 제방이 파괴되고 월류되어 홍수피해가 발생할 가능성이 큰 취약지점이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형을 이용하여 만곡부 흐름 특성을 분석하고 수리실험을 통해 측정된 유속 및 수위분포 결과와 비교하여 분석하였다. 또한 수리실험에서 도출된 호안 붕괴 시의 흐름을 구현하여 호안 붕괴 시 국부유속 및 전단응력을 계산하고 만곡부 호안의 안정성을 위한 설계인자를 분석하였다. 연구결과로 제시된 만곡부 안정성을 위한 설계인자는 국외 호안공 설계식과 비교하여 국부유속 및 전단응력의 설계인자의 적합성을 검토하고 국내 만곡부 호안의 안정성 설계기법개발에 도움이 될 수 있는 설계인자를 제시하고자 한다.

사행수로에서의 원심력은 비선형적인 압력분포를 야기하여 이차류, 편수위 등과 같은 불규칙하고 복잡한 흐름을 발생시킨다. 일반적으로 이들 흐름은 난류이고 매우 3차원적이며 자유수면과의 상호작용이 중요한 역할을 할 수도 있다. 환경, 유사이동, 지형 변화와 관련된 환경 수리학적 관점에서 사행수로에서의 흐름을 이해하고 설계하기 위해서는 이러한 복잡한 3차원 흐름을 정확하게 계산하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 유한차분법에 근거한 3차원 흐름해석 모형을 이용하여 사행수로에서의 난류 흐름을 모의하고자 한다. 지배방정식은 3차원 비정상 RANS(Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식이며, 난류 해석을 위해서 공학적으로 널리 이용되고 있는 난류 모형 중 k-omega 모형을 이용한다. 수치모형은 시간과 공간에 대해서 2차 정확도의 이산화 기법을 적용한다. 자유수면의 변동은 이상(two-phase) VOF (volume of fluid) 기법을 이용하여 계산한다. 수치모형의 적용 대상은 기존 문헌에서 제시되어 있는 키노시타 사인곡선을 이용하여 만든 폭 60cm의 사행수로에서 후르드수 0.23 그리고 레이놀즈수 41,700의 조건에서 발생시킨 난류 흐름이다. 적용한 난류모형들을 이용하여 해석한 결과들을 유속벡터분포와 수위의 항으로 비교분석하여 사행수로에서 발생되는 이차류와 편수위 변화 재현에 대한 수치모형의 적용성을 평가하고 각 난류모형들의 특성을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the meander charactericstics for the rivers in Korea..In this study, the new characteristics factors of meander are proposed, and the relationships among the factors proposed in this study and the existing factors are derived. An attempt is made to find considerable relation among meander characteristics, but width and meander belt did not show any defined trend and considerable scatter of points was observed. Relationships among the meander length, belt and flowrate, etc., which are factors of meander characteristics, are analyzed the 67 rivers above 30km in length. Channel shape factor which is the ratio of the length from the starting point to the end to the channel lenght, tortuosity which is the ratio of the curved channel length against the channel length are suggested for a new characteristics factor of meander. They are well correlated with channel length, Horton's shape facotr and meander gradient, consequently have to be important measures of river meander. The result of the detailed comparison and the analysis of degree of sinuosity, velocity and water surface slop are brought light on the fact show that the curved reach is morestable than the straight one. The ratio of the meander length to the meander belt and its accumulative frequency showed excellent correlationship when plotted on the semi-log paper. The results of regression analysis of meander belt and meander length show linear for the South Han river branches and power curve for the Geum river and the Nakdong river branches.
