The testing result can provide data for research on the hydrodynamic characteristic of the density current and has a high reference value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a water conservancy test tank system, in particular to a test device and method for simulating the movement of a hyperpycnal flow in a canyon. Background technique [0002] Density flow, also known as density flow, is a phenomenon in which one of the fluids flows along the interface due to the difference in density, and does not globally mix with other fluids during the flow process. Phenomena of hyperpycnal flow are very common in nature and engineering, such as temperature drainage of power plants, salt water wedges in estuary areas, sand discharge from reservoirs, sandstorms, and avalanches. Density flow can be divided into three types according to the formation reasons: temperature difference density flow, salinity difference density flow, particle density flow. [0003] Hyperpycnal flow is universal and important in nature and engineering, and plays a very important role in national economic construction and environmental...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Among the published patent schemes, various flume systems for hyperpycnal flow research have been given at home and abroad, but the flume systems are all rectangular cross-sections, which have limitations for simulating hyperpycnal flow in canyons, while this experimental device adopts polygonal cross-sections. It is rectangular, and the lower part is an isosceles trapezoid, which is highly comparable to the canyon shape; most of t
