Recent researches on debris flow is focused on understanding its movement mechanism and building a numerical simulator to predict its behavior. However, previous simulators emulating fluid-like debris flow have limitations in numerical stability, geometric modeling and application of various boundary conditions. In this study, depth integration is applied to continuity equation and force equilibrium for debris flow. Thickness of sediment, and average velocities in x and y flow direction are chosen for main variables in the analysis, which improve numerical stability in the area with zero thickness. Petrov-Galerkin formulation uses a discontinuous test function of the weighted matrix from DG scheme. Presented mechanical constitutive model combines fluid and granular behaviors for debris flow. Effects on slope angle, inducing debris height, and bottom friction resistance are investigated for a simple slope. Numerical results also show the effect of embankment at the bottom of the slope. Developed numerical simulator can assess various risk factors for the expected area of debris flow, and facilitate embankment design in order to minimize damage.

A two-dimensional water quality management model, Unsteady/Uncertainty Water Quality Model(UUWQM), is developed for a hydrodynamic analysis, an advection-diffusion analysis, and a reliability analysis by using uncertainty technique. The model is applied to the 35 km reach of Sungju to Hyunpoong in the midstream of Nakdong River. 2-D hydrodynamic and water quality analyses are peformed in this reach. Important input variables are decided by sensitivity analysis and verified by Monte Carlo method. Frequency distributions of water quality concentrations are computed from MFOSM method and Monte Carlo method at several locations in this study area. A water quality management system is constructed by calculating the violation probabilities of existing water quality standards.

The objective of this study is to develop an accurate and robust two-dimensional finite element method for turbulence simulation in open channels. The model is based on Streamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin finite element method and Boussinesq's eddy viscosity theory. The method developed in the study is depth-averaged mixing length model which assumes anisotropic and local equilibrium state of turbulence. The model calibration and validation were performed by comparing with analytical solutions and observed data. Several numerical simulations were carried out, which examined the performance of the turbulence model for the purpose of sensitivity analysis. The uniform channels that appear horizontal flow and vertical flow were carried out. The model was also applied to the Han river was in for the applicability test. The results were compared with the observed data. The suggested model displayed reasonable flow distribution compare to the observed data in natural river flow. As a result of this study, the two-dimensional finite element model provides a reliable results for flow distribution based on the turbulence simulation in open channels.

천수방정식을 사용하는 초기 수치모형은 프로드수($F_4$)가 변화하는 흐름 즉, 상류방향과 하류방향으로 전파하는 홍수파를 동시에 해석하기 위해 중앙 차분기법이 필요한 상류(sub-critical flow)와 흐름방향에 따른 상류이송(upwinding)기법이 필요한 사류(super-critical flow)가 나타나는 흐름해석에서 어려움이 있었다. 하지만, 근사 Riemann 해법의 등장으로 흐름방향에 관계없이 특성선을 따라 정확한 상향가중기법의 적용이 가능하게 되어, 천수방정식을 지배방정식으로 하는 수치모형이 더욱 실용적으로 적용될 수 있도록 하였다. 따라서, 현재 근사 Riemann 해법은 Godunov 형 유한체적 기법, 불연속 Galerkin 혹은 Petrov-Galerkin 유한요소기법 그리고 Boussinesq 기법에도 적용되고 있으며, 특히 Godunov 형 유한체적기법과 결합한 근사 Riemann 해법은 댐 붕괴, 하천 범람 그리고 도시 및 해안지역 침수에 이르기까지 여러 가지 문제에 폭넓게 적용되고 있다. 지금까지 홍수 모델링에 적용된 Godunov형 유한체적모형은 정형 사각격자나 비정형 삼각격자 중에서 한가지의 격자 종류만을 적용한 연구가 주로 수행되었으며, 유한요소모형과 같이 이 두 가지 격자를 동시에 적용한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 일반적으로, 삼각격자는 사각격자와 는 달리 연구유역의 경계나 지형이 복잡한 경우에도 큰 노력없이 격자의 생성이 가능하나, 격자와 노드의 수가 사각격자보다 많아 계산시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 반면, 사각격자는 하천과 같이 선형으로 변하는 지형에 대해서는 표현하기가 용이하며 계산시간의 효율성도 뛰어나다. 본 연구에서는 하천, 도시 그리고 해안지역에서의 효율적이고 정확한 홍수 모델링을 위해 삼각 및 사각격자 그리고 이 두 격자를 동시에 고려한 하이브리드 격자의 적용이 가능한 Godunov형 2차원 유한체적 모형을 개발하였다. 그리고 개발모형을 정확해가 있는 댐 붕괴 문제, 실측치가 존재하는 실험하도 및 실제하도에 삼각, 사각 그리고 혼합격자를 생성하여 모의를 수행하고, 각 적용 격자에 따른 정확성과 효율성 및 장점과 단점을 연구하였다.

유한요소법으로 공학적 문제를 해결할 때에는 적절한 모델링을 통하여 가장 빠르고 정확한 해를 얻도록 해야 한다. 유체 흐름의 기본 변수인 속도는 그 공간 도함수가 요소간에 불연속을 이루게 된다. 속도의 공간 도함수는 기본적으로 유체에서의 응력, 압력, 및 와도 등과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 또한 이러한 요소간의 속도의 공간 도함수에서 발생하는 불연속의 크기는 요소망이 세분화되어 감에 따라 감소하면서 정확한 해에 수렴하게 된다. 즉 속도의 공간 도함수를 대상으로 오차에 정도를 판단하는 것이 기존의 유한요소 모델의 타당성을 판단하는 기준으로 적합함을 알 수 있다.

Numerical simulation of fluid flow with moving free surface has been carried out. For the free surface flow, a VOF(Volume of Fluid)-based algorithm utilizing a fixed grid system has been investigated. In order to reduce numerical smearing at the free surface represented on a fixed grid system, a new free surface tracking algorithm based on the donor-acceptor scheme has been presented. Novel features of the proposed algorithm are characterized as two numerical tools; the orientation vector to represent the free surface orientation in each cell and the baby-cell to determine the fluid volume flux at each cell boundary. The proposed algorithm can be easily implemented in any irregular non-uniform grid systems that are usual in finite element method (FEM). Moreover, the proposed algorithm can be extended and applied to the 3-D free surface flow problem without additional efforts. For computation of unsteady incompressible flow, a finite element approximation based on the explicit fractional step method has been adopted. In addition, the SUPG(streamline upwind/Petrov-Galerkin) method has been implemented to deal with convection dominated flows. Combination of the proposed free surface tracking scheme and explicit fractional step formulation resulted in an efficient solution algorithm. Validity of the present solution algorithm was demonstrated from its application to the broken dam and the solitary wave propagation problems.

A numerical model has been developed by employing a finite element method to simulate the depth-averaged 2-D dispersion of the heat pollutant, which is an important pollutant material in natural streams. Among the finite element methods, the Streamline Upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) method was applied. Also both linear and quadratic elements can be applied so that irregular river boundaries can be easily represented. To show the movement of heat pollutants, the reaction term describing heat transfer was represented as an equation in which sink/source term is proportional to the difference between the equilibrium temperature and water surface temperature. The equation was expressed so that the water surface temperature changes according to the temperature transfer coefficient and the equilibrium temperature. For the calibration of the model developed, analytic and numerical results from a case of rectangular channel with full width continuous injection have been compared in a steady state. The comparisons showed that the numerical results were in good agreement with analytical solutions. The application site was selected from the downstream of Paldang dam to Jamsil submerged weir, and overall length of this site is about 22.5 km. The change of water temperature caused by the discharge from the Guri sewage treatment plant has been simulated, and results were similar to the observed data. Overall it is concluded that the developed model can represent the water temperature changes due to heat transport accurately. But the verification using observed data will further enhance the validity of the model.
