Abstract

Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) have been widely utilized for assessing streamflow discharge, yet few comprehensive studies were conducted to evaluate discharge uncertainty in consideration of individual uncertainty components. It could be mostly because it was not easy to determine which uncertainty framework can be appropriate to rigorously analyze streamflow discharge driven by ADCPs. In this regard, considerable efforts have been made by scientific and engineering societies to develop a standardized theoretical framework for uncertainty analysis in hydrometry. One of the well-established UA methodology based on sound statistical and engineering concepts is Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty Measurement (GUM) adopted widely by various scientific and research communities. This research fundamentally adapted the GUM framework to assess individual uncertainty components of ADCP discharge measurements, and subsequently provided results of a customized experiment in a controllable real-scale artificial river channel. We focused particularly upon sensitivities of uncertainty components in the GUM framework driven by ADCPs direct measurements such as depths, edge distance, submerged depth, velocity gap, sampling time, repeatability, bed roughness and so on. Section-by-Section method for ADCP discharge measurement was applied for uncertainty analysis for this study. All of measurements were carefully compared with data using other instrumentations such as ADV to evaluate individual uncertainty components.

음향 도플러 유속계(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, ADCPs)는 하천의 유량측정에 널리 사용되고 있으나, 유량 측정성과의 불확도를 평가하는 방법에 대하여 진행된 연구는 부족한 현실이며, 이는 실제 하천에서 유속 및 유량 등의 수리량을 조절하는 것이 현실적으로 불가능하여 ADCP의 불확도 요인별 실험 및 분석이 어렵기 때문이다. 유량 및 수리량의 측정 불확도를 평가하기 위하여 과학 및 공학 분야에서는 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 왔으며, 그 중 국제적으로 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 실규모 수로를 보유하고 있는 하천실험센터에서 실험을 진행하였으며, ADCP의 측정 정확도에 영향을 미치는 수심, 측정 지점에서 하안까지의 거리, ADCP의 잠김 깊이, 유속 오차, 측정 시간, 반복 횟수, 하상 조건 등에 대한 측정 정확도 평가 실험을 수행하였다. ADCP로 유량을 측정하는 방법은 지점측정방식을 기반으로 유속-면적법을 통해 산정하는 방법과 일반적으로 사용되는 이동측정방식이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 ADCP의 지점측정방식을 통해 유량을 산정하는 Section-by-Section 방법으로 산정된 유량의 불확도를 평가하였다. 모든 측정 결과는 요인별 불확도 평가를 수행하기 위하여 유속은 ADV, 수심은 광파기로 측정된 결과와 비교하였다.
