급확대 구간에서 준설영향으로 인한 상류 수리특성 변화에 대한 민감도 분석

Abstract

Sediment exchange in river has been affected by artificial changes such as dredging and abnormal climate changes like intense rainfall. Over last decades in Korea, there were many constructions, restoration or rehabilitation in rivers. Therefore, deposition and erosion become more actively occurred than before, which may threaten the river safety such as flood defense. For safety's sake, the dredging of river bed, which is considered as the most typical measure, has been increased to extend hydraulic conveyance compared with previous conditions. However, since it might change the sediment mechanism, there would be another risk at which unexpected side effects such as headward erosion could be occurred. Particularly, sedimentation at abrupt expansion region is able to lead to hydraulic characteristics like water elevation in the upstream region in the beginning of dredging, which, however, has been barely studied in this field. Therefore in this study, the relationship between sediment mechanism at dredging section and hydraulic characteristics in upstream region were presented through numerical simulations in the idealized abruptly widen channel using Delft3D. The ideal channel of 2,000 m length with each side angle of 45 degrees at abruptly widen expansion region was employed to consider the sediment angle of repose. The sensitivity analysis was performed on the dimensionless factors consisted of upstream and downstream depths(, ), width(, ), water level(), flow rate() and discharge of sediment(). And the sedimentation amount at dredging and the upstream hydraulic characteristics were investigated through that analysis. It showed that , and were more influential in sequence of effect on sedimentation amount, while , and on upstream region. It means that was revealed as the most significant factors on sedimentation, also it would most highly affect the rising of water level upstream.
