본 연구에서는 성층화된 수로에서 3차원 hill과 같은 해저지형이 유동장에 미치는 효과를 수치실험을 통해 밝히고자 하였다. 계산결과 hill 주위의 유동장은 지형과 성층의 효과를 복합적으로 받는 것으로 나타났다. hill 배후에서 형성된 칼만와류는 성층효과로 인해 저층에서만 나타났다. 이러한 와류는 hill 중심의 밀도를 감소시켜 성층화된 열염구조를 불안정하게 하는 역할을 하였고 이로 인하여 등밀도선을 따라 흐르는 흐름은 hill 전면의 경우 깊어지는 등밀도선을 따라 하강한 뒤, 그 후면에서는 다시 등밀도선을 따라 상승하는 패턴을 나타내었다. 그 결과 연직유속은 hill의 전면에서는 침강류, 그 후면에서는 용승류가 형성되는 특징을 나타냄과 동시에 수평적으로 보았을 때 hill의 측면을 통해 가장 활발하게 용승이 발생하지만 표층까지 영향을 크게 미치지는 않는 것으로 나타났다.

While the assessment of mean flow field is very important to characterize the hydrodynamic aspect of the flow regime in river, the conventional methodologies have required very time-consuming efforts and cost to obtain the mean flow field. The paper provides an efficient technique to quickly assess mean flow field by developing and applying spatial averaging method utilizing repeatedly surveyed acoustic Doppler current profiler(ADCP)’s cross-sectional measurements. ADCP has been widely used in measuring the detailed velocity and discharge in the last two decades. In order to validate the proposed spatial averaging method, the averaged velocity filed using the spatial averaging was compared with the bench-mark data computed by the time-averaging of the consistent fix-point ADCP measurement, which has been known as a valid but a bit inefficient way to obtain mean velocity field. The comparison showed a good agreement between two methods, which indicates that the spatial averaging method is able to be used as a surrogate way to assess the mean flow field. Bed shear stress distribution, which is a derived hydrodynamic quantity from the mean velocity field, was additionally computed by using both spatial and time-averaging methods, and they were compared each other so as to validate the spatial averaging method. This comparison also gave a good agreement. Therefore, such comparisons proved the validity of the spatial averaging to quickly assess mean flow field. The mean velocity field and its derived riverine quantities can be actively used for characterizing the flow dynamics as well as potentially applicable for validating numerical simulations.
