Evaluating Attraction and Passage Efficiencies of Pool-Weir Type Fishways Based on Hydraulic Analysis

In this study, a hydraulic analysis technique is presented for evaluating the efficiency of a pool-weir type fishway. The River-2D model with the fish physical habitat module was used for the analysis of the attraction efficiency, and the weighted usable area proposed as an index of the efficiency....

description In this study, a hydraulic analysis technique is presented for evaluating the efficiency of a pool-weir type fishway. The River-2D model with the fish physical habitat module was used for the analysis of the attraction efficiency, and the weighted usable area proposed as an index of the efficiency. For the analysis of passage efficiency, the three-dimensional model, FLOW-3D, was used as an evaluating tool to describe the fluid behavior on a hydraulic structure with a free surface. The ice-harbor type fishway at Dalseong weir in the Nakdong River of Korea was selected as a test-site, and the efficiency was estimated using the hydraulic analysis. The results of River-2D analysis showed that the location of the fishway near the right bank now was not appropriate for attracting the target fish to the fishway due to the deep water depth. The 3D analysis results presented that the flow velocity field inside the fishway showed a similar plunging flow in each pool, but various flow patterns appeared locally.
