Study on Training levee Dimension for Reduction of River Mouth Occlusion

Abstract

In this study, virtual confluence of 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° type flowing into main channel was designed to comprehend occlusion phenomenon of the mouth of river, then performed numerical analysis using the RMA-2 and SED2D model of SMS according to application of 40m, 60m, 80m, 100m Training levee corresponding to main channel width ratio. Results of simulations analysis are summarized as follows. Applying appropriate Training levee length determined by numerical analysis results, Training levee dimension for occlusion reduction was studied through the analysis of velocity, water level, bed variation at the Gamchen confluence and Wichen confluence.
