음향 도플러 유속계(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, ADCPs)는 하천의 유량측정에 널리 사용되고 있으나, 유량 측정성과의 불확도를 평가하는 방 법에 대하여 진행된 연구는 부족한 현실이며, 이는 실제 하천에서 유속 및 유량 등의 수리량을 조절하는 것이 현실적으로 불가능하여 ADCP의 불확도 요인 별 실험 및 분석이 어렵기 때문이다. 유량 및 수리량의 측정 불확도를 평가하기 위하여 과학 및 공학 분야에서는 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 왔으며, 그 중 국 제적으로 공인받고 있는 방법 중 하나가 GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty Measurement)이다. 본 연구에서는 GUM 표준안을 기반으로 ADCP의 유량 측정 불확도를 평가하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. ADCP의 유량 측정 불확도 요인별 분석을 수행하기 위하여 유량 공급의 조절이 가능한 실 규모 수로를 보유하고 있는 하천실험센터에서 실험을 진행하였으며, ADCP의 측정 정확도에 영향을 미치는 수심, 측정 지점에서 하안까지의 거리, ADCP 의 잠김 깊이, 유속 오차, 측정 시간, 반복 횟수, 하상 조건 등에 대한 측정 정확도 평가 실험을 수행하였다. ADCP로 유량을 측정하는 방법은 지점측정방식 을 기반으로 유속-면적법을 통해 산정하는 방법과 일반적으로 사용되는 이동측정방식이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 ADCP의 지점측정방식을 통해 유량을 산정 하는 Section-by-Section 방법으로 산정된 유량의 불확도를 평가하였다. 모든 측정 결과는 요인별 불확도 평가를 수행하기 위하여 유속은 ADV, 수심은 광 파기로 측정된 결과와 비교하였다.

In the mountain streams in Jeju Island, strong turbulence and roughness usually made it nearly impossible to utilize most of intrusive instrumentation for streamflow discharge measurements. Instead, a non-intrusive fixed electro-magnetic wave surface velocimetry (fixed EWSV: Kalesto) became alternatively popular in many representative streams to measure stream discharge seamlessly. Currently, Kalesto has shown noteworthy performance with little loss in flood discharge measurements and also has successfully provided discharge for every minute. However, Kalesto has been operated to regard its measured one-point velocity as the representative mean velocity for the given cross-section. Therefore, it could be highly possible to potentially encompass discharge measurements errors. In this study, we analyzed the difference between such Kalesto discharge measurements and other alternative concurrent discharge measurements such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and mobile EWSV which were able to measure velocity in multi-points in the cross-section. Consequently, Kalesto discharge deviated from ADCP discharge in amount of 48% for relatively low flow, and more than 20% difference for high flow compared with mobile EWSV discharge measurements. These results indicated that the one-point velocity measured by Kalesto should be used as a cross-sectional mean velocity, rather it should be accounted for as an index-velocity in conjunction with directly measured cross-sectional mean velocity by using more reliable instrumentations. After inducing Kalesto Discharge Correction Coefficient (KDCC) that actually means relationship between index velocity and cross-sectional mean velocity, the corrected discharge from Kalesto was significantly improved. Therefore, we found that index velocity method should be applied to obtain better accuracy of discharge measurement in case of Kalesto operation.

The water resources system of Jeju-do Island entirely depends on groundwater. This study is making a precision observation of baseflow, surface water, water shortage that might be vulnerable to climate change and drought in future. The field observation of baseflow discharges in Akgeuncheon stream has regularly been made with ADCP and ADC and Flowmate every two weeks for twenty-two (22) months (July 8, 2011 to April 27, 2013). This paper represent the results of calculating discharge of a number of hydraulic structures (broad-crested weirs) with comparing and has been calculated more accurate discharges with suitability of different observation methods. The average discharge has been observed 0.851 m3/s, whereas the average ADC and Flowmate is 0.709 m3/s. Meanwhile, stream discharge has been calculated 0.709 m3/s through the broad-crested weir equation. The discharge has calculated with the weir equation greatly changed according to even a small change in the water level. However, it showed a similar trend to one of the observed discharge. Although, in past there were generating errors caused by observers’ strides, vertical and horizontal flow velocity distribution when the average flow velocity had been measured, non-prismatic flow, turbulent flow and others in ADC. This study comes up with the weir equation is more suitable for the characteristics of Jeju-do could be presented through an observations of baseflow discharge.
