Wash load transport in alluvial river :Theory

ZHONG De-yu, WANG Shi-qiang, WANG Guang-qian
(Tsinghua University)

Abstract: Theoretical analysis shows that the fine material transported as wash load is not only determined by flow intensity and particle size, but also strongly influenced by its concentration. It is demonstrated in this paper that rivers have a maximum transport capacity for fine material at a certain flow intensity, under which fine material can keep its fraction in bed load composition as zero. Otherwise, it behaves as bed material load. A new criterion of differentiation for wash load and bed material load is also proposed based on the theory of this paper.

Key words: wash load; maximum transport capacity; lift force; concentration gradient.


Wash load transport in alluvial rivers :Experiment and verification

Abstract: The experimental result on wash load transport is reported in this paper. It shows that not only the grain size and flow intensity, but also the concentration of fine material plays important role on its mutual transformation between wash load and bed material load. The experiment demonstrates that there exists a maximum trasport capacity of stream for wash load under which fine material keeps its fraction in bed as zero and plays no part in river evolution process. Based on the theory established in Part of this paper, formulas for stream's maximum transport capacity of stream wash load and criterion for distinguishing wash load from bed material load are proposed. Comparison between the calculation result of the formula and the field data shows that the agreement is satisfactory.

Key words: wash load; maximum transport capacity; distinction criterion.

WANG Wen-sheng,YUAN Peng,DING Jing
(Sichuan University)

Abstract: Signal composed of different frequencies can be decomposed into a series of signal by wavelet analysis.Based on the principle of decomposition and reconstruction of wavelet,the daily flow series are decomposed into sub-series with different scale.The wavelet coefficients and scale coefficients are stochastically reconstructed according to the main periods illustrated by the observed data.Thereby different daily flow graphs can be obtained through reconstructing signal curves with appropriate mode.When wavelet function and scale function are determined the parameters estimation is not necessary in the process of decomposition and reconstruction.At the same time no pre-analysis or assumption is needed.The stochastic simulation of daily flow at Ping-Shan hydrological station shows that wavelet analysis is feasible.

Abstract: A series of flume experiments were conducted to understand shallow water hydraulics,erosion in rills as well as morphological patterns of a rill as effected by rill bed slopes and inflow rates.The soil used was Cecil soil,a sandy loamy soilFour flow rates:3.8,7.6,11.4and 15.2 l/min and 4 slopes:1%,3%,5% and 7% were adopted in the experiments.The velocities.rill widths and sediment concentrations at the outlet were recorded and analyzed with multivariable regression method as functions of slopes,inflow rate and/or their interactive terms.Rill widths changing along the rill with certain periodical patterns were visulally observed.A mathematical model was advanced to describe these changing patterns of rill widthSampling length for transport capacity was determined with the analysis of both sediment yields and width patterns.

AbstractA numerical model for analyzing the heat and water flow in the SPAC system under transparent polyethylene mulch is studied. A system consists of four layers including atmosphere, canopy, mulch and soil is established in the model. Energy balance equations are derived for each layer. Soil heat and water flow are described by one dimensional equations in which the interaction between heat and water is considered through the coefficients. Newton Raphson and finite difference methods are used to solve these equation. The model is verified by comparing the simulated soil temperature and soil pressure head profiles with measured data. The result shows that the agreement is satisfactory.
