Abstract¡¡A high resolution difference model for 2-D shallow water flow equations is presented in this paper.The second order hybrid TVD scheme with Van Leer's MUSCL limiters is applied along x and y direction splitted from shallow flow equations.To verify its validity,the scheme is applied to solve 1-D and 2-D dam-break problems.The numerical results are compared with the theoretical exact solution and other numerical methods.It demonstrates that the method is successful.The propagation and diffraction of dam-break wave a round a rectangular cylinder is also simulated in the case of the dam either fully or partly broken.It gives very satisfactory results and reveals the complicated flow characteristics of the wave.

and United Research center for Water Problems, CAS)

Abstract¡¡The large-scale weighing lysimeter and micro lysimeter are employed to determine the daily alteration processes of evapotranspiration and soil evaporation of winter wheat in its growth stages. According to the observation data, the authors found that about 30% of the total field evapotranspiration is consumed by the soil evaporation under canopy. Furthermore, the water-saving farming can be expressed as increasing leaf area index (LAI) in the early stage of growth and controlling topsoil moisture under the canopy. Based on the evapotranspiration determination the dimensionless crop coefficient can be calculated.

Abstract¡¡A 2-D mathematical model of water and sediment movement at the river estuary is established. Because of the complicated boundary conditions at the confluence, the goveming equations and numerical simulation of total sediment load are given in the boundary-fitting orthogonal coordinate systems. By using this model, the characteristics of water and sediment as well as the cause of shoal at the confluence of Jialingjiang estuary on the upstream reach of the Yangtze River are analyzed. The velocity field and the erosion and deposition distribution are numerically simulated. The calculated results are in fair agreement with the field data.
