Among the various causes of the vibration problem of the radial sluice gate used in Saemangeum, the effect of flow-induced vibration was studied by the method of computational fluid analysis. In this study, the effect on the flow-induced vibration of the Saemangeum radial sluice gate was evaluated by 2D unsteady flow numerical analysis using ANSYS Fluent. Gate opening cases of 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.4m, 0.5m, and 1.0m were analyzed. As a result, the flow-induced vibration characteristics due to the instability of turbulent flow were observed through FFT analysis. As the gate opening increases, the frequency of the maximum amplitude moves gradually to a lower frequency region with the reduction of the magnitude. Therefore the flow-induced vibration effects can be considered as small with the gate opening increase.
