Abstract: An optimized operation scheme called double flood control levels scheme is proposed to reduce the deposition and enhance the flood control capacity of the reservoir in the Three Gorges Project. It is suggested that the water level of the reservoir should be additionally lowered to 135m before the emergence of the flood higher than 45000 m3/s, on the basis of the reservoir is controlled at a certain level in the flood season. Thereby, the sediment transport capacity of the reservoir can be enhanced and the deposition can be reduced. In the meantime, the reservoir capacity for flood control is expanded.

Experimental study on saturation of diesel-water two-phase flow

WU Xiao-feng1, TANG Jie1, Yukihisa Fujima2
(1.Tsinghua University; 2.Nagoya University, Japan)

Abstract: The simulation study of diesel-water two-phase flow in 1-D sandy trough is presented. The experimental results show that residual diesel saturation is in proportion to the particle size of the medium, whereas water saturation is in inverse proportion to the size of medium. Because of the interfacial tension, a transition zone exists in the porous media(d>0.5mm) and obvious abrupt change occurs at the upper edge. Image analyzing technology is applied to measure the oil saturation by using a CCD camera. The measurement result is in good agreement with the observation.

Key words: non-aqueous phase liquids; two-phase flow; residual saturation; image analysis; transition one.

Study on hydraulic problems in reconstruction of diversion tunnels into permanent
vortex shaft spillways in condition of high tail water level

SUN Shuang-ke, LIU Zhi-ping, ZHOU Sheng
(China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research)

Abstract: Unfavorable hydraulic phenomena might occur to the diversion tunnel if being reconstructed as a permanent vortex shaft spillway, in case of high tail water level. The phenomena include flow pattern changing from free surface flow to pressure flow, hydraulic jump and unsteady air bags etc. To solve these problems a vertical plate followed by a perforated cover panel installed at the end of the tunnel is proposed to control the flow pattern and release the air entrained. The functions and the principle of this vertical plate are theoretically and experimentally studied.

Key words: diversion tunnel; reconstruction; permanent vortex shaft spillway; vertical plate; perforated cover.


The application of element free method to approximate calculation of arch dam crack propagation

KOU Xiao dong2, ZHOU Wei yuan1
(1.Tsinghua University)

AbstractAn approximate method for tackling the problem of arch dam fracture is presented. By this method the arch dam is divided into several sections in the arch dam direction. Nodes are distributed and the crack propagation is solely considered in each section. All sections are combined through interfaces to form the whole arch dam. In the example, the lateral constraint stiffness is estimated from the result obtained from FEM, then the crack propagation is simulated for the crest section of the arch dam and the failure length along the base of the dam is estimated. The result shows that element free method(EFM) is convenient and effective in simulation calculation of arch dam fracture.

HUANG Cai an, XI Bin
(Yangzhou University)

AbstractThe effective shear stress of sediment transport is analyzed theoretically and tested by experimental data. The result shows that the effective shear stress is neither the overall shear stress nor the sand grain shear stress, but the geometric mean of these two stresses. The effective shear stress not only generalizes the flow intensity but also summarizes the flow intensities of mean flow velocity, stream power and unit stream power.
