The present invention belongs to the technical field of lake and
reservoir water ecology improvement and restoration, and discloses a method for suppressing
thermal stratification of reservoirs by stimulating
water flow oscillations through daily regulation and scheduling of reservoirs. The daily regulation and scheduling process of the reservoir causes gravity
waves to form in the main
stream of the reservoir, and induces high-frequency
water flow oscillations in the
tributary bay; the
water level in the bay has high-frequency fluctuation characteristics through the
water flow oscillation process, and the flow velocity of the
water body in the bay is intermittently increased or reduced; the
water body is intermittently mixed through the periodic high-
frequency oscillation process, causing high-frequency fluctuations in
water temperature, thereby achieving the effect of suppressing
water temperature stratification. The present invention generates
water level fluctuations in front of the dam by regulating the downstream flow of the
hydropower station, triggering gravity
waves in the main
stream, and then inducing high-frequency water flow oscillations in the
tributary bay. The present invention can effectively improve the density stratification characteristics of deepwater lakes and reservoirs. Compared with the currently commonly used
engineering measures such as stratified
water intake,
water pumping and
aeration, the present invention has the advantages of simple operation, easy implementation, and obvious effect.
