Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of flood and debris flow prevention and control engineering and water conservancy engineering, and specifically relates to a method for determining the hazard of a moraine lake outburst. The present invention also relates to the application of the method for determining the hazard of a moraine lake outburst. Background Art
[0002] Moraine lakes in alpine mountainous areas often experience glacial lake outbursts, generating large-volume floods. These floods, when there is sufficient downstream material and channel slope, often result in debris flows. Because these debris flows are characterized by high flow and large volume, they can also block the main downstream river channel. Further outbursts can cause even larger flash floods, severely damaging downstream riverside facilities, roads, and residents, creating a chain reaction of disasters and wreaking havoc in the mountainous areas downstream.
[0003] Moraine lakes have the potential to burst, so a key factor influencing their risk is their susceptibility to outburst. The higher the susceptibility, the greater the risk. Moraine lakes can cause floods and debris flows, but this doesn't always happen, and further research is needed to determine whether such a flow will occur. The higher the likelihood of a debris flow, the greater the risk. Even if a glacial lake burst creates a debris flow, it doesn't necessarily block the main downstream river channel. Whether this blockage is achieved remains to be determined. If the main river is completely blocked, it could burst again, resulting in a larger outburst flood, causing significant damage downstream and creating a chain reaction. Therefore, the greater the likelihood of a debris flow blocking the main river channel, the greater the risk of a glacial lake burst. The peak flow of floods or debris flows after a moraine lake bursts, or the peak flow of floods that block the main river and then bursts, will affect the safety of roads, railways, hydropower, residents and other facilities downstream of the moraine lake and downstream of the main river confluence, and is a key factor in judging the danger of a moraine lake burst.
[0004] While research and technology have made significant progress in understanding the susceptibility of moraine lake outbursts and the potential for rarefied debris flows to block rivers, methods and techniques for assessing the likelihood of debris flows forming after a moraine lake outburst are still lacking. Methods and techniques for calculating the peak discharge of a debris flow after a river blockage are also lacking, and a comprehensive approach to assessing the risk of moraine lake outbursts is even more lacking. Current research on the likelihood of debris flows, both domestically and internationally, focuses primarily on the potential for gully and slope debris flows. Both are triggered by rainfall, so factors such as the catchment area of gully debris flows and the slope gradient of slope debris flows have significant influences on the formation of these two types of debris flows. However, rainfall is the most influential factor, as it is both a triggering factor and a source of water for debris flows. Other influencing factors include: 1) Ravine debris flows: Source conditions for debris flows include source particle size, source lithology, degree of weathering, structure, and fault zones; topographic conditions for debris flows include longitudinal gradient of the channel, drainage area, drainage shape coefficient, gully length, elevation difference, and drainage development. 2) Slope debris flows: Source conditions include parent rock lithology, soil permeability, clay mineral properties and content; and topographic conditions include slope, soil thickness, and width. However, the probability of these debris flows differs significantly from that of glacial lake outbursts. First, the triggering factors, namely the water source conditions, are completely different. Debris flows caused by glacial lake outbursts are concentrated and result in a massive peak discharge. Second, the channels downstream of glacial lakes are wide, U-shaped valleys with a relatively small longitudinal gradient due to glacial erosion and a large drainage area. Finally, the source material is often more abundant and dispersed throughout the wide channel downstream of glacial lakes. Therefore, the probability of gully debris flows based on the traditional method is completely inappropriate for assessing the probability of such glacial lake outbursts. Research on the peak discharge of floods caused by dam erosion and failure has a long history, but this has primarily been based on simulations using parameters such as dam height, length, structure, breach width, and time to failure. For a potential dam blocking the main river (its height, length, structure, breach width, etc. are uncertain), it is unrealistic to use these detailed data to predict the dam burst flow. A simple and practical method is required to determine the calculation method of the peak flood flow after the glacial lake bursts and forms a debris flow blocking the river.
[0005] Currently, there is no comprehensive technical solution for assessing the hazard of moraine lake outburst that considers factors such as the susceptibility of moraine lake outburst, the possibility of debris flow after outburst, the possibility of debris flow blocking the main river, and the peak flow of flood caused by dam outburst.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0089] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0090] Example 1
[0091] Moraine lake outbursts often trigger debris flows, but they don't always result in them. First, the floodwaters from a moraine lake outburst must be large enough to provide sufficient water for a debris flow to form. Second, sufficient material resources are required for a debris flow to form. Finally, certain topographical conditions are required to ensure that the debris flow continues downstream, rather than simply accumulating immediately after formation.
[0092] Water source, material source, topography and other conditions are the three major conditions for the formation of debris flow, but these conditions do not affect the formation of debris flow in isolation, but are interrelated and mutually influential, and eventually form debris flow. Although the peak flow of the moraine lake burst is very large, it will be weakened in the wide downstream channel, resulting in a smaller single-width flow and flow rate, which makes it difficult to start the channel material source to form a debris flow; similarly, if the channel material source particles are large, the single-width flow or flow rate after the moraine lake burst is not enough to start these material sources, and debris flow will not form. The particle size of the debris flow material source comes from the collapse or landslide in the area, and the hard rock (solidity coefficient Large) often collapses, which makes the source of material in this area not only less, but also the particle size of the source material is large, making it relatively difficult to form debris flow; soft rock (firmness coefficient Landslides often occur in areas with small sediment sources, resulting in both abundant and small-sized sediment particles, making debris flows more likely to form. Another factor influencing debris flow formation is topography. Regarding the characteristic of debris flows caused by glacial lake outbursts, topographic factors include the longitudinal gradient and width of the channel downstream of the lake. If the longitudinal gradient is too shallow, even if a debris flow briefly forms, it will accumulate due to the low longitudinal gradient. If the longitudinal gradient is large, the resulting debris flow will continue downstream to the main river mouth. Furthermore, the width of the downstream channel also significantly affects the formation of debris flows: a wider channel disperses the debris flow, making accumulation more likely when the longitudinal gradient is low; conversely, accumulation is less likely when the channel is narrow. Because channels downstream of glacial lakes are generally wide (due to their large drainage area and the wide "U"-shaped valley formed by long-term glacial erosion), a large average slope is required for debris flows to occur.
[0093] The dam body is eroded and damaged by water flow, and the calculation of the peak flow rate of the outburst flood often requires many parameters, but they are difficult to obtain in practice. The method of using the water depth above the breach and reservoir capacity when the debris flow blocks the river and then breaks out is simple and reliable. The calculation of the height of the landslide dam needs to consider the accumulation range of the debris flow, which is related to the intersection angle, and the calculation result is also more reasonable.
[0094] The process of a moraine lake outburst, resulting in floods, debris flows, river blockage, and subsequent flooding, is a highly complex one, involving multiple key issues, including the outburst of the moraine lake, peak discharge of the outburst flood, the formation of a debris flow and its peak discharge, debris flow blocking the main river, and peak discharge of a landslide dam breach. Without a comprehensive hazard assessment of any of these elements, it is difficult to accurately assess the risk of a moraine lake outburst. However, there is currently no moraine lake outburst hazard assessment method that comprehensively considers these factors and conditions. The moraine lake outburst hazard assessment method provided by the present invention comprehensively considers these conditions and their relationship to the moraine lake outburst hazard, particularly the crucial influence of the final peak discharge, resulting in a practical and reliable hazard assessment.
[0095] The main features of the method for determining the risk of moraine lake outburst provided by the present invention are as follows:
[0096] 1) Based on the characteristics of moraine lake outburst hazards, this method analyzes and makes comprehensive judgments based on multiple factors that affect the outburst hazard, including outburst floods, debris flows, blockage of the main river, and floods caused by re-outburst. This can effectively determine the outburst hazard of moraine lakes and greatly improve the accuracy of the judgment results.
[0097] 2) The peak discharge of a moraine lake outburst is the key to the formation of a debris flow and also the water source condition for the formation of a debris flow. First, calculating the peak discharge of a moraine lake outburst provides an important basis for correctly judging the possibility of a moraine lake outburst forming a debris flow, making the final judgment more reliable.
[0098] 3) Full consideration of the source conditions for debris flows is a key factor: a moraine lake outburst without a source is a flash flood, not a debris flow. The robustness coefficient of the regional lithology of the source is used to determine the source's abundance and particle size, further estimating the likelihood of debris flow formation and making the results more applicable.
[0099] 4) The important influence of topographic conditions on the formation of debris flows caused by moraine lake outbursts was fully considered. The average longitudinal gradient (average channel slope) and average channel width of the downstream channel of the moraine lake were used as topographic judgment parameters for the formation of debris flows, making the judgment of the possibility of debris flows more reasonable and reliable.
[0100] 5) Considering the uncertainty of the landslide dam body, the method of using the water depth above the breach and reservoir capacity when the debris flow blocks the river and then breaks the peak flow is simple, reliable and more applicable.
[0101] 6) Taking into account the possibility of debris flow forming a landslide dam, the influence of the intersection angle is fully utilized to reasonably calculate the accumulation range of the debris flow, making the calculation of the landslide lake depth more reasonable.
[0102] 7) Comprehensively consider multiple influencing factors affecting the risk of moraine lake outburst, highlight the flood peak flow factor that has the greatest impact on the risk, and give it the greatest influence in calculating the risk judgment factor, so that the risk assessment results are more reliable and reasonable.

[0193] P=Z1+Z2+Z3+Z4(27).
[0194] Among Z1, Z2, and Z3, there is a progressive relationship: when the susceptibility of glacial lake outburst is low (Z1 = 0), the corresponding probability of debris flow occurrence is small (Z2 = 0), the probability of debris flow blocking the river is small (Z3 = 0), and the risk of glacial lake outburst is low. When the probability of debris flow occurrence is small (Z2 = 0), the corresponding probability of debris flow blocking the river is small (Z3 = 0).
[0195] Principle for the value of the conversion value Z4: 1) The minimum value of Z4 is 1, such as when Z1 = Z2 = 0; 2) When Z2 > 0 but Z3 = 0, ; when When, Z4 = 1; 3) When Z3 > 0, or , take the larger Z4 value; but , and When, Z4 = 1.

When the flood discharge of glacial lake outburst , or the debris flow discharge , or the re - outburst discharge of the main river blocked by debris flow , any one greater than 1000 When, the risk level of glacial lake outburst is increased by one level (except for very high risk or Z1 = 0).

[0213] According to the outburst risk discrimination value P of the ice lake, judge the outburst risk of the ice lake: The outburst risk discrimination value P of the ice lake can judge the outburst risk of the ice lake: P≤2 and Z1 = Ͳ.5, or Z1 = 0: low risk; P≤2 and Z1 = 1, or 2 < P≤4, and Z1 = Ͳ.5: medium risk; 2 < P≤4, and Z1 = 1, or P>4, and Z1 = Ͳ.5: high risk; P>4, and Z1 = 1: very high risk. When the outburst flood discharge of the ice lake , or the debris flow discharge , or the discharge of the debris flow blocking the main river and then outbursting again , any one is greater than 1000 m³ / s, the outburst risk level of the ice lake is increased by one level (except for very high risk or Z1 = 0).
[0214] After the outburst of the moraine lake, there may be the following possibilities: outburst to the bottom, and the moraine lake is no longer dangerous; partial outburst, and there may be subsequent outbursts. Since the moraine lakes that have already outburst are often moraine lakes that are relatively easy to outburst in terms of the possibility of outburst, and there are few moraine lakes that outburst to the bottom. By the method for judging the outburst risk of the moraine lake of the present invention, among the 16 moraine lakes that have outburst before, there are 2 moraine lakes with low risk, accounting for 12.5%; 2 moraine lakes with medium risk, accounting for 12.5%; 5 moraine lakes with high risk, accounting for 31.25%; 7 moraine lakes with very high risk, accounting for 43.75%. Generally, it is more dangerous than ordinary moraine lakes, and it can be seen that the judgment result of the present invention is relatively reasonable.
