Study on flow movement and sediment transport in compound channel

Abstract¡¡In this paper,some characteristics of flow movement and sediment transport are analyzed by using the flume experiment data.The cross section of compound channel can be divided into four regions:the undisturbed region in main channel,the interactive region between channel and plain,the undisturbed region in flood plain and the boundary region.In the undisturbed regions,the distribution of longitudinal velocity along the depth has the feature of lograithmic.Whereas,in the interactive region,the longitudinal velocity does not obey the logarithmic distribution law,but it can expressed as a revised logarithmic function by using a wake function.On the basis of the kinematic equation the velocity distribution of transverse velocity is obtained.In the boundary region,the longitudinal velocity obeys the law of parabolic distribution.Furthermore,according to the simplified diffusion equation,the transverse distribution of sediment concentration in the interactive region is deduced.The analysis is in good agreement with the measured data.

Experiment of rheology of debris flow

Shen Shouchang
(South-west Research Institute of China Academy of Railway Sciences)

Abstract¡¡Experiment of two-phase mixtures consisting of neutrally buoyant grains and interstitial liquid are performed on a special designed rheometer in order to investigate the stress constitutive relation of debris flow.This rheometer is equipped with an annular cone-plate type shear cell in which shear-rates can be kept in uniform.Four types of grain and various liquids are used to mix the test mixtures.The shear stress and normal pressure are measured simultaneoursly.The results show that ,the granular stress occurred during shearing is not only caused by collision but also by supporting and friction.The ratios of shear stress to normal pressure are independent of grain concentration and liquid viscosity,roughly approach to a constant value.When the concentration becomes higher,the yield strenght of mixture becomes obvious even though the liquid medium of mixture are Newtonian fluids.In the initial part of flow curves,there exists a special section which has a property other than that of higher shear-rate region.Sometimes,a negative slope appears in initial section.This section can not be explained with a single rheological model.These phenomena may be important in study of debris flow mechanism.

Cavitation characteristics of weir gate slot

Chen Xia Li Zhongyi Wang Yongsheng
(China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research)

Abstract¡¡The cavitation characteristics of weir gate slots are quite different from that of two dimensional cavity.The flow over a curved weir not only causes the considerable low pressure at the bottom,but also changes the cavitation pattern of the gate slot.The vortex is not always limited in the slot as it is in two dimensional situation,but is frequently pushed out at the bottom,and then turns around the cant,where the separated flow takes place.At the intersection of the vortex,the curved weir and the region of separation,the pressure drops down sharply,which accounts for the vulnerability to cavitation damage of this area.The incipient cavitation numbers of weir gate slots are much higher than those of two dimensional cavitation

Abstract¡¡The behavior of the soft clay under the action of wave forces was studied in centrifugal tests.The soil profile and the wave characteristics were simulated in the model cell according ot the conditions of the oil fields in Bohai Gulf. Test results show that the soft clay layer will be seriously softened near the surface under the maximum height wave action. Whereas, the effect in the deeper layer was slight. No liquefaction was happened in the silty sand sublayer during tests. It is proved that the centrifugal test is a valid technique for study of the interaction between soil and wave.
