Three aspects of morphological evolution Process
in the Lower Yellow River

Yin Xueliang Chen Jinrong Liu Xia
(China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research)

Abstract It is pointed out that the morphological evolution process of the lower Yellow River has three elementary aspects:shallow cross section,mild longitudinal slope and intensive amount of aggradation.One of the main characteristics of the River is frequently shifting of the main channel,resulted from more shallow cross section and more steep longitudinal slope.The other one is severe siltation due to the formation of the sediment transport capacity related to the geometric features of the longitudinal profile and cross section.The river's geometry depends on the relationship between sediment and water transport.The Lower Yellow River belongs to a shallow river with frequently shifting of the main channel.Siltation along the river has formed the mild riverbed slope thousands of years ago.The silt transport capacity generated by mild bed slope and shallow cross section is much smaller than the inflow sediment from the watershed.This is the cause of consistent serious siltation of the Lower Yellow River.
Key words
 the Yellow River,shallow cross section,meandering,siltation,flow and sediment transport.

Yang Kailin Dong Xinling
(China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower research)

Abstract In this paper the gas-liquid transient flow caused by emptying of surge tank is studied.The formula for computation of the air discharge from a surge tank into the down stream pressurized pipeline is proposed.A new concept of gas particle is introduced to determine the gas distribution in the pipeline with the help of Lagrange method.The discrete gas-liquid model is used to calculate the water pressure in the pipeling.The comparison of the calculation result with test data verifies that the mathematical model developed herein is applicable for estimating the water pressure in the gas-liquid transient flow.
Key words

Li Wenguang
(Gansu University of Technology)

Abstract Water flow in a centrifugal pump impeller with small blade outlet angle are measured by using 2-D laser Doppler velocimeter at the best efficiency and part-loading points respectively.The results show that the wake in the suction side of the blade is narrow and the jet does not exist in the pressure side,the flow in the impeller does not conform to the well known jet-wake flow model.
Key words
 centrifugal pump, impeller, flow.

Fei Xiangjun Shu Anping
(Tsinghua University)

Abstract In this paper, the typical formulas for sediment transport capacity which have been widely used are reviewed. Based on flume tests and theoretical anaysis, by establishing the relation between the complex index Yc and Sv(4R/d90), a new formula for sediment transport capacity, suitable for sediment laden flow with concentration of more than 40 kg/m3, is suggested. This formula has been satisfactorily verified by the measured data from lower reach of the Yellow River, Luohui Channel and other flume tests.
Key words
 hypoconcentrated flow, sediment transport capacity, flowing resistance.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the hydraulic properties of vortex which has a standing center and is enclosed by stream lines. The parameters such as velocity, pressure, vorticity, circulation and angular momentum are deduced. Furthermore, four connective conditions are discussion to connect the vortex to the main flow. The results are applied to some practical conditions such as post-step flow, hydraulic jump and channel junction. Some of the conclusions are very useful.

Abstract A quasi-3D model consisting of depth-averaged 2-D model, based on a two-fluid model of turbulent liquid-solid flows, is proposed to simulate sedimentation in estuary. Comparison of predictions with experiments shows that the proposed quasi-3D model is better than the depth-averaged 2-D model in predicting sediment flows.

Model test for dam breach of Gouhou concrete face sandy gravel dam

(China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research)

Abstract The cause of the dam breach are revealed by model test. The following conclusions have been drawn:1. if large amount of water leakage happened at the joint of concrete face and the bottom of wave wall, the seepage in dam can only be a vertical seepage so the seepage water cannot be drained out from downstream slope above EL. 3260; 2. only when the upper part of the concrete face is separated from the dam body and the separated section reaches EL. 3270, the leakage water from the joint can flow out at EL. 3260 of the downstream slope; 3. before the breach, the dam body was not totally saturated; 4. because there is a highly permeable piping layer, it causes piping and contacting erosion and the drained water will scour the downstream slope and cause sloughing. Under the action of piping, scouring and sloughing the wave wall collapsed and at last the breach happened.
Key words
 leakage of the joint, declutch of the concrete face, piping of the highly permeable layer, slope scouring, dam breach.

Abstract In this paper, the essential concept on the complexity in hydrological systems and its difference from the complexity in general physical systems are described. A method to quantify the complexity in hydrological systems from both the probabilistic macro-hierarchy of accessible states of the systems and micro-hierarchy inside the states is developed. The complexity in hydrological systems is quantified by a degree of hydrological complexity as a product of information entropy and hydrological dis-equilibrium. The degree of the complexity is a combination of probability, statistics and non-linear theory, and may be adopted as a statistical measure of the complexity in hydrological systems. The method can be effectively used to identify the complexity in hydrological systems and to describe fractal and chaotic features in the systems by traditional probabilistic and statistical methods due to the connection of the complexity and information dimension.
Key words
 hydrological system, complexity, statistical measure, degree of dis-equilibrium, degree of complexity, information entropy, macro-hierarchy, micro-hierarchy.
