This study is to examine how well the hydrologic model reproduces the dam collapse. To do this, A hydrologic model FLO-2D is being operated to reproduce dam collapse with rainfall data and surface data in a small dam. In order to examine the performance of the model, the simulation was compared and reviewed with the data collected through the field survey. The results show that it takes about 2 hours to reach 1 km downstream. Inundation areas are about 188,640 m2 by the simulation and the difference from the field investigation is about 6.1%. Ten representative points were selected from the areas where the simulation and the field survey did not match. The discrepancy is less than about 0.08 m and does not appear to be significant. This study will present basic information on disaster preparedness operation and planning to minimize damage caused by sudden collapse of agricultural soil dams in the future.

Soil water enters the atmosphere via evapotranspiration, where it transforms into atmospheric water vapor and plays important role in the surface-atmosphere energy exchange. Soil conditions have a direct influence on the effective rainfall, and initial soil moisture conditions are important for quantitatively evaluating the effective rainfall in a watershed. To examine the sensitivity of the initial saturation to hydrologic outflow, a two-dimensional distributed FLO-2D hydrologic model was applied to a small watershed. The initial saturation was set to 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 and the obtained results were compared. The Green-ampt model was chosen to calculate the penetration loss. Depending on the initial soil moisture, the peak flow rate varied by up to 60%, and the total water volume in the watershed by approximately 40%.

The determination of soil characteristics is important in the simulation of rainfall runoff using a distributed FLO-2D model in catchment analysis. Digital maps acquired using remote sensing techniques have been widely used in modern hydrology. However, the determination of a representative parameter with spatial scaling mismatch is difficult. In this investigation, the FLO-2D rainfall-runoff model is utilized in the Yongdam catchment to test sensitivity based on three different methods (mosaic, arithmetic, and predominant) that describe soil surface characteristics in real systems. The results show that the mosaic method is costly, but provides a reasonably realistic description and exhibits superior performance compared to other methods in terms of both the amount and time to peak flow.

Two main sources of data, meteorological data and land surface characteristics, are essential to effectively run a distributed rainfall-runoff model. The specification and averaging of the land surface characteristics in a suitable way is crucial to obtaining accurate runoff output. Recent advances in remote sensing techniques are often being used to derive better representations of these land surface characteristics. Due to the mismatch in scale between digital land cover maps and numerical grid sizes, issues related to upscaling or downscaling occur regularly. A specific method is typically selected to average and represent the land surface characteristics. This paper examines the amount of flooding by applying the FLO-2D routing model, where vegetation heterogeneity is manipulated using the Manning’s roughness coefficient. Three different upscaling methods, arithmetic, dominant, and aggregation, were tested. To investigate further, the rainfall-runoff model with FLO-2D was facilitated in Yongdam catchment and heavy rainfall events during wet season were selected. The results show aggregation method provides better results, in terms of the amount of peak flow and the relative time taken to achieve it. These rwsults suggest that the aggregation method, which is a reasonably realistic description of area-averaged vegetation nature and characteristics, is more likely to occur in reality.

최근 번번히 발생하는 이상기후로 인해 산지의 비율이 높은 우리나라에서 발생빈도가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 토사재해 방재를 위해 다양한 방법으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 토사재해를 해석하는 프로그램으로 FLO-2D, RAMMS, DEBRIS-2D 등 다양한 프로그램이 개발되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 미연방재난관리청(FEMA)에서 토석류 해석에 권장하고 있는 프로그램인 FLO-2D를 이용하여 토석류 거동에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. FLO-2D는 정상류, 정수압 분포의 가정을 통해 유한차분법을 통해 토석류를 모의하는 2차원 해석 프로그램이다. 연구방법은 먼저 토석류 거동에 영향을 미치는 다양한 인자에 대한 토석류 흐름 특성을 분석하고 그 결과에 의한 통계적 추론 분석을 활용하여 주요 인자간의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 토석류 거동 영향인자로 흐름지형, 물성치, 전파면의 형상 등을 선정하였다. 흐름 지형은 실제 토석류 흐름 지형과 유사하게 나타낼 수 있도록 계곡형 형태로 구성하여 입력하여 모의하였고 물성치는 점성과 항복응력 값을 변화시켜 토석류의 물성에 따른 모의를 수행하고 전파면의 형상은 전파면의 경사를 변화시켜 도심지의 경사에 따른 흐름 분석을 수행하였다. FLO-2D를 이용하여 선정한 주요 인자에 대해 민감도 분석을 위한 수치모의를 수행한 결과, 토석류 흐름에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자의 변화에 따른 거동 특성을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 선정된 토사재해 거동의 유효 인자에 대해 심도있는 연구를 수행한다면, 토사재해 관련 방재활용 및 계획수립에 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 토사재해 발생 예상 지역의 지형, 토질분석 자료를 통해 토석류 거동 특성을 좀 더 정확히 분석할 수 있게 하여 토사재해로 인한 피해 저감에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
