The Hwanggang Dam in North Korea is located upstream of the Imjin River which is a shared river in the border area. It is known to have a reservoir capacity of 350 million cubic meters and releases a discharge primarily for generating hydroelectric power and partly for transferring to the Yesung River basin. Due to the supply of water from the Hwanggang Dam to another basin, the flow of the Imjin River has decreased, which has a negative impact on the water supply, river maintenance flow, water quality, and ecological environment in Korea. However, due to the special national security issue of the South and North Korea border region, the hydrological data is not shared, and the operation method of the Hwanggang Dam is unknown, so there is a risk of damage to the southern part of the downstream area. In this study, the monthly diversion as the long-term runoff concept was derived through the calibrated hydrological model based on optical remotely sensed Images and water balance analysis. As a result of the water balance analysis from January 2019 to September 2021, the average diversion of the Hwanggang Dam was 29.2m³/s, which is equivalent to 922 million tons per year and 45.6% of the annual inflow of 2.02 million tons into the Hwanggang Dam.

This study investigates variation of flow characteristics due to variation of branch channel width and discharge ratio at bifurcation channel using 2D numerical model. The calculated result considering secondary flow is more accurate and stable than without considering one. The diversion flow rate ($Q_3/Q_1$) is reduced by flow stagnation effect according to the interaction of the secondary flow and flow separation zone in branch channel. The less upstream inflow or the lower upstream velocity, the bigger variation of diversion flow rate by changing branch channel width. At uniform downstream boundary condition, the rate of change in Froude number of downstream of main channel($Fr_2$)-diversion flow rate ($Q_3/Q_1$) relations is similar about -2.4843~-2.6675 when branch channel width ratio (b/B) is decreased. At uniform diversion flow rate ($Q_3/Q_1$) condition, the width of recirculation zone in branch channel is decreased when branch channel width ratio (b/B) is decreased. The less upstream inflow in the case of increasing branch channel width or the narrower branch channel width in the case of increasing upstream inflow, the bigger reduction ratio of recirculation zone width. At uniform inflow discharge ($Q_1$) condition, diversion flow rate, the width and length of recirculation zone in branch channel are decreased when branch channel width ratio (b/B) is decreased.

Strength anisotropy is a typical feature of thin-bedded rock masses and their strength will be degraded subjected to water immersion effect. Such effect is crucial for the operation of hydropower plant because the impoundment lifts the water level of upstream reservoir and causes the rock mass of nearby slopes saturated. So far, researches regarding mechanical property of natural thin-bedded rock masses and their strength variation under water immersion based on field test method are rarely reported. This paper focuses on a thin-bedded stratified rock mass and carries out field test to investigate the mechanical property and strength variation characteristics. The field test is highlighted by samples which have a large shear dimension of 0.5 m*0.5 m, representing a more realistic in-situ situation than small size specimen. The test results confirm the anisotropic nature of the concerned rock mass, whose shear strength of host rocks is significantly larger than that of bedding planes. Further, the comparison of shear strength parameters of the thin-bedded rock mass under natural and saturated conditions show that for both host rocks and bedding planes, the decreasing extent of cohesion values are larger than friction values. The quantitative results are then adopted to analyze the influence of reservoir impoundment of a hydropower plant on the surrounding rock mass stability of diversion tunnels which are located in the nearby slope bank. It is evaluated that after reservoir impoundment, the strength degradation induced incremental deformations of surrounding rock mass of diversion tunnels are small and the stresses in lining structure are acceptable. It is therefore concluded that the influences of impoundment are small and the stability of diversion tunnels can be still achieved. The finings regarding field test method and its results, as well as the numerical evaluation conclusions are hoped to provide references for rock projects with similar concerns.

The completion of the Bakun Diversion Tunnel is subsequently to the Main Dam construction. Therefore, the completion date is very important for the Bakun Hydroelectric Project. Generally, the tunnel lining work as a finishing phase of the tunnelling project occupies a important portion as well as an excavation and a support work of the tunnels in respect to the construction cost and period. Internal section of Bakun Diversion Tunnel is designed circular shape to reduce the roughness of the water flow with 12 meters in diameter of total length 4314.6 meters of 3 tunnels. The lining thickness is varied between 500 mm and 700 mm depending on the structural condition. From the original Tender design of the Bakun tunnels, the required quantity of steel bars was 5,985 ton designed by Reinforced Concrete (RC) through the entire tunnel linings. During the detail design stage by the consideration of the rock conditions and various load conditions, we could suggest five kinds of RC lining type including plain concrete lining type. Through the detail design modification, we could reduce the required amount of steel bars to 2,178 ton, as a half of original Bill of Quantity. Finally, this design modification give us the time and cost saving effect to catch up the construction progress in time.

To secure instream flow at the Yudeung urban stream reach of Daejeon city in South Korea, Yudeung upstream diversion was designed with total water storage of $59{\times}10^4m^3$, and the upstream Seongol reservoir was planned to raise the bank with various sizes. Downstream streamflows were simulated by considering outflows from upstream diversion and reservoir, and after then flow durations were analyzed and compared with flows of no reservoir condition. In case of no diversion or reservoir upstream, flow durations were $1^{st}$ flow of $84.72m^3/s$, $95^{th}$ flow of $2.10m^3/s$, $185^{th}$ flow of $0.92m^3/s$, $275^{th}$ flow of $0.42m^3/s$, and $355^{th}$ flow of $0.31m^3/s$. In case of upstream diversion, flow durations were $1^{st}$ flow of $94.38m^3/s$, $95^{th}$ flow of $2.96m^3/s$, $185^{th}$ flow of $1.22m^3/s$, $275^{th}$ flow of $0.50m^3/s$, and $355^{th}$ flow of $0.35m^3/s$. The increase flow rates were $0.04m^3/s$ in $355^{th}$ flow, $0.08m^3/s$ in $275^{th}$, and $0.30m^3/s$ in 185th. In case of Seongol reservoir with effective storage capacities of $365{\times}10^4m^3$, $544{\times}10^4m^3$, $750{\times}10^4m^3$, and $992{\times}10^4m^3$, flow durations were $85.5{\sim}83.9m^3/s$ on $1^{st}$ flow, $2.85{\sim}2.57m^3/s$ on $95^{th}$ flow, $1.16{\sim}1.27m^3/s$ on $185^{th}$ flow, $0.64{\sim}0.99m^3/s$ on $275^{th}$ flow, and $0.56{\sim}0.94m^3/s$ on $355^{th}$ flow. The increase flow rates were $0.25{\sim}0.63m^3/s$ in $355^{th}$ flow, $0.22{\sim}0.57m^3/s$ in $275^{th}$, and $0.24{\sim}0.35m^3/s$ in $185^{th}$. The more the sizes of upstream reservoirs increased, the $1^{st}$ and $95^{th}$ flows decreased in which coefficients of determination were 0.92, 0.99, respectively and the $185^{th}$, $275^{th}$, and $355^{th}$ flows increased in which coefficients of determination were 0.93 to 0.99.

The ice damage occurs frequently in cold and dry region of western China in winter ice period and spring thaw period. In the drift ice condition, it is easy to form different extrusion force or impact force to damage tunnel lining, causing project failure. The failure project could not arrive the original planning and construction goal, giving rise to the water allocation pressure which influences diversion irrigation and farming production in spring. This study conducts the theoretical study on contact-impact algorithm of drift ices crashing diversion tunnel based on the symmetric penalty function in finite element theory. ANSYS/LS-DYNA is adopted as the platform to establish tunnel model and drift ice model. LS-DYNA SOLVER is used as the solver and LS-PREPOST is used to do post-processing, analyzing the damage degrees of drift ices on tunnel. Constructing physical model in the experiment to verify and reveal the impact damage mechanism of drift ices on diversion tunnel. The software simulation results and the experiment results show that tunnel lining surface will form varying degree deformation and failure when drift ices crash tunnel lining on different velocity, different plan size and different thickness of drift ice. The researches also show that there are damages of drift ice impact force on tunnel lining in the thawing period in cold and dry region. By long time water scouring, the tunnel lining surfaces are broken and falling off which breaks the strength and stability of the structure.

본 연구에서는 최근 기후변화에 따른 가뭄으로 어려움을 겪고 있는 충청남도 서부권의 물 부족을 해결하기 위하여 금강 본류로부터 보령댐으로 일정 유량을 도수(diversion)하는 계획이 금강 본류에 미치는 수리적 영향을 검토하였으며 특히 금강 본류의 농공용수 취수에 제한을 초래할 수 도 있는 수위에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 공간적 범위는 금강 하굿둑으로부터 하류 외해 방향으로 약 9km 지점에 위치한 금강 하구로부터 상류 방향으로는 금강 하굿둑으로부터 약 76km 지점에 위치한 공주시 반포면 검상동의 검상천 합류지점까지 총 85km에 이르는 구간에 대한 1차원 수리 모형을 구축하였으며, 시간적 범위는 보령댐으로의 도수가 갈수기에 이루어지는 것으로 가정하여 2015년 2월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 진두수위표의 시간별 유량과 8개 지천의 유입 유량, 장항검조소의 시간별 조위, 농공용수 취수시설 취수량 및 회귀수, 금강 배수갑문 운영 등을 고려하여 모형의 보정을 실시하였고, 유황분석에 따른 2016년 갈수기 예측 유량을 추정하여 보령댐으로의 도수에 따라 금강 본류 내 주요 구간의 수위에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였으며, 서해안 조위에 따른 금강하굿둑 배수갑문의 운영에 직접적인 영향을 받는 배수위 구간임을 감안하여 비정상류 해석(unsteady flow analysis)을 수행하였다. 갈수기 예측 유량 추정 결과 2015년과 같은 가뭄이 지속될 경우, 2016년의 유황은 2015년 대비 21%로 분석되었으며 이는 보령댐 도수 여부에 관계없이 물 부족이 발생할 수 있는 상태인 것으로 분석되었고, 하천유지유량 정도의 유황이 유지되는 상태에서 보령댐으로 도수를 실시할 경우, 도수시 금강호 최저 수위는 각각 EL(+)0.94m와 EL(+)0.72m로 모의되어 농업용수를 비롯한 기존 취수시설 뿐만 아니라 보령댐 도수시설의 운영에도 어려움이 생길 것으로 예상되었다. 2016년 갈수기 동안 과업 대상 구간인 금강 하류부의 유황은 농업용수 취수가 본격화되기 이전인 2월에는 하천유지유량 정도의 유황을 유지하는데 별 어려움이 없지만 3월 이후농업용수 취수가 본격화되면 농업용수 취수시설이 집중된 입포수위표 ~ 금강 하굿둑 사이 구간은 하천유지유량 이하로 유량이 크게 감소할 것으로 예상되었다.

Shihmen reservoir was started in May 1963. The main purposes of Shihmen reservoir are for agriculture, power supply, flood control and tourism. Shihme Asn dam is an earth dam. Its crown height is 133m above mean sea level, with length 360 m, watershed 763.4 km², and maximum volume 309 million cms. Turbidity in Shihmen dam was severely affected by typhoons Aere (2004) and Masa (2005). Increased deposition after Aere was 28 million cms. Turbidity at Shihmen Canal Inlet is 3000 NTU (Nephelometry Turbidity Unit). Sediment sluicing strategies for downstream channel are demanded. Therefore, diversionary sediment preventing channel is planned in the upstream of Shihmen reservoir. Finally, turbid flow in tunnel channel is bypassed and diverted its flow down to downstream.

The object of this study is the safety insurance of the dam to provide for the extraordinary flood. The safety insurance of the reservoir was taken by the preparatory discharge using the temporary division tunnel used during the reservoir construction. In this study, the Sungju reservoir was simulated. The existing discharge facilities of the intake tower of the Sungju reservoir could nat have influence on the flood control. When the Sungju reservoir operated to begin preparatory discharge for 48 hrs by the temporary diversion tunnel that have discharge of an 20-years frequency, the water level was lowered about 20 cm. When the Sungju reservoir operated to begin the continuous discharge after the preparatory discharge, the water level was lowered over 1m but the downstream at risk was caused by the resulted. If it is possible to operate to begin the preparatory discharge of the reservoir for 24 hrs by the temporary diversion tunnel, that will improve the flood control faculty of the reservoir without other hydraulic structure and safety of the Sungju reservoir will be higher.
