Real-time Discharge Measurement of the River Using Fixed-type Surface Image Velocimetry

Surface Image Velocimetry (SIV) is a recently-developed discharge measurement instrument. It uses image processing techniques to measure the water surface velocity and estimate water discharge with given cross section. The present study aims to implement a FSIV (Fixed-type Surface Image Velocimetry) at Soojeon Bridge in the Dalcheon. The hardware system consists of two digital cameras, a computer, and a pressure-type water stage gauge. The images taken with the hardware system are sent to a server computer via a wireless internet, and analyzed with a image processing software (SIV software). The estimated discharges were compared with the observed discharges through Goesan dam spillway and index velocity method using ADVM. The computed results showed a good agreement with the observed one, except for the night time. The results compared with discharges through Goesan dam spillway reached around 5~10% in the case of discharge over 30 m3/s, and the results compared with discharges through index velocity method using ADVM reached around 5% in the case of discharge over 200 . Considering the low cost of the system and the visual inspection of the site situation with the images, the SIV would be fairly good way to measure water discharge in real time.

A review of scour conditions and scour-estimation difficulties for bridge abutments

This paper is a review of the scour conditions, and scour-estimation difficulties, associated with scour at abutments of bridges over rivers and streams. A recent survey of abutment-scour problems in the U.S., Korea, and abroad, shows that several scour conditions can occur, and that existing relationships for scour estimation, besides being inaccurate do not match the scour conditions. Moreover abutment scour is found to be primarily a concern for bridges over smaller rivers and streams than for larger rivers, because inadequate design and monitoring attention has been give to abutment scour at the many small bridges. This paper also discusses the difficulties confronting accurate estimation of abutment-scour depth. The difficulties, which include similitude aspects of laboratory experiments on scour at bridge abutments, complicate the development of reliable scour-estimation relationships. In a practical sense, the difficulties imply that design relationshipsfor scour-depth estimation inevitably have to be of approximate accuracy given the great variability of channel conditions at most abutments.

Feasibility Analysis of HEC-RAS for Unsteady Flow Simulation in the Stream Channel with a Side-Weir Detention Basin

하천에 설치되는 강변저류지의 효율적 설계를 위해서는 정확한 부정류 흐름 해석이 반드시 필요하다. 일반적으로 하천의 부정류 수치모의는 1차원 부정류 수치모형인 HEC-RAS를 많이 사용하고 있다. 하지만 강변저류지가 있는 하도에서의 부정류 흐름에 대한 수리실험과 현장 모니터링 자료가 거의 없기 때문에 HEC-RAS를 이용한 부정류 수치모의 결과의 신뢰도를 확신하기가 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부정류 수리실험을 수행하여 강변저류지가 있는 하도에서의 HECRAS를 이용한 부정류 수치모의 적용성을 검토하였다. HEC-RAS 적용성 검토는 직선수로에 강변저류지가 설치되어 있거나 그렇지 않은 경우에 대해 부정류 수리실험을 실시하여 측정된 결과와 비교하여 평가하였다. 특히, 강변저류지가 설치되어 있는 경우는 강변저류지의 저류용량이 충분하여 하도에서 강변저류지로 통하는 위어에 완전 횡월류 흐름만 발생하는 경우에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 강변저류지가 설치되지 않은 직선수로에 대한 HEC-RAS의 수위 계산 결과는 최대 3% 오차를 유량은 최대 1% 오차를 보였으며, 강변저류지가 설치된 경우의 HEC-RAS 수위 계산 결과는 최대 4% 오차를 유량은 최대 2% 오차를 나타냈다. 【It is necessary to perform the precise analysis of unsteady flow for effective design of the side-weir detention basin installed in the river. Generally, the HEC-RAS program, which is a 1D unsteady numerical model, is mostly used to simulate the unsteady flow for rivers. However, it is difficult to have confidence of unsteady flow results simulated by HEC-RAS due to the lack of experimental data and field monitoring data for the channel with a side-weir detention basin. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to validate or verify the simulation results calculated by HEC-RAS through the experiments for the open channel with a side-weir detention basin using specially-designed unsteady discharge-supply system. The experimental cases included unsteady flows in the straight channel with and without a side-weir detention basin. Especially, for the case with a detention basin, the experiment was performed to consider only the free flow condition over the side-weir. The study results showed that values of water level and discharge obtained from HEC-RAS coincided reasonably with experimental results with the maximum error of 3% for water level and 1% for discharge in the case of the flow without the side-weir detention basin and 4% for water level and 2% for discharge with the side-weir detention basin.】

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of a Side-Weir Detention Basin in Flood-Level Reduction in the Main Channel

AbstractTo design the off-stream detention basin by the sides of rivers or channels, flood-level reduction in main channels should be evaluated under unsteady flow. Flow discharge diverted to the side weir from the main stream can be calculated practically by the standard weir or lateral weir equations. In this study, experimental and numerical modeling with a side-weir detention basin was conducted for unsteady flow. The experimental results were compared with the numerical backwater profile calculation considering the water discharge overflowed into the basin from the channel. The overflowed discharge was estimated by the standard weir and lateral weir equations for various flow types at the side weir. The standard weir equation accurately predicted flow discharge diverted to the side weir for free overflow condition. The lateral weir equation calculated a precise flood level and time of peak flow for the condition modeled, especially when the various flows, including free and submerged overflows, were ...

Estimatation of Mean Velocity from Surface Velocity

LSIV은 표면유속을 측정하는 영상기반 유속측정법중의 하나이다. 이 방법은 기존 측정기법에 비해 측정이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 경제적이기 때문에 유량측정 등의 실제 하천의 유속 측정에 활용하려는 연구들이 시도되고 있다. 그러나 이 기법은 표면유속을 측정하기 때문에 유량 산정을 위해서는 측정된 표면유속을 평균유속으로 환산할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 하상 및 흐름조건에 대한 다양한 수리실험을 통해 개수로 난류 흐름에 대한 연직유속분포의 특성을 파악하였다. 수리실험결과 수표면 영역의 유속감소를 확인하였으며, 이러한 유속감소는 조도보다는 Froude 수의 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 실험 결과를 이용하여 표면유속으로부터 평균유속을 추정하는 두 가지 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법들은 표면유속 보정량을 이용하여 후류법칙의 유속분포를 보정하는 방법과 평균유속과 표면유속의 비를 이용한 방법이다. 제시된 방법들은 실제 하천의 유속 측정 자료들을 이용하여 검증하였다 검증결과 이 방법들은

Development and Accuracy Analysis of the Discharge-Supply System to Generate Hydrographs for Unsteady Flow in the Open Channel

이내의 오차를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 【LSIV (Large Scale Image Velcocimetry) Is one of the image-based velocity measurement techniques. Since it measures surface velocities, it gives simple and inexpensive way to measure velocity, compared to other methods. Because of these advantages, there have been many studies to apply LSIV to the river discharge measurement in the field. Measuring the discharge by using LSIV requires a method which converts a surface velocity to a mean velocity In the present study, experiments and analysis of vortical velocity profile of open-channel flow in various conditions were performed to develop methods which estimate a mean velocity from a surface velocity. The result of this experiment reveals that velocity-dip phenomena occur at free-surface layer in open channel flow and Froude number affects more than bed roughness does. Two methods for estimating the mean velocity were proposed. One is to correct the wake laws profiles by using the difference of surface velocity from the mean velocity, and the other is to use the ratio of mean and surface velocities. The result of applying these methods in an experiment shows that they are quite accurate having an error of approximately

Change in Stream Morphology after Gongneung Weir 2 Removal

A quasi-two-dimensional unsteady flow model was developed for simulating the flow in a river system including artificial storage pockets with side weirs. It is a multiply-connected network which combines channels and storage pockets. The channel flow is described by the one-dimensional Saint Venant equations, and the weir overflow flow by the cell continuity and stage-discharge relations. The model was applied to the Imjin river system including six artificial storage pockets. Design flood peak reduction due to storage pockets is not sensitive to the side weir discharge coefficient. Storage pockets downstream are less effective than upstream ones in reducing peak stage as the backwater effect becomes more dominant. Simulated flood control effect is highly sensitive to the roughness coefficient. The uncertainty due to the roughness coefficient increases as the weir crest elevation gets higher. Because the best design alternative varies with the roughness coefficient, proper estimation of it is essential to the design of side weirs. Moreover, uncertainty of the estimation needs to be considered in the design process.
