Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of urban drainage, in particular to a method for quickly predicting the thickness of sediments in a full-flow box culvert in rainy days, which can be used for box culvert optimization reconstruction and operation and maintenance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current severe challenge faced by urban water environment is combined sewer overflow pollution problem, and the interception of box culvert can reduce the environmental risk caused by combined sewer overflow pollution to a certain extent. The sediments in the box culvert can weaken the flow capacity of the box culvert, and after the box culvert appears large-scale siltation, the risk of urban waterlogging will be greatly increased. The sediments in the box culvert are mainly derived from the particulate pollutants on the urban underlying surface, and the soil sand enters the drainage system through the partially damaged pipes. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, due to the problems of relatively abundant rainfall, insufficient interception multiple, and serious siltation, the box culvert often operates in high water level or even full water level in rainy days, and the particulate sediments enter the submerged area with low flow rate to form a sediment layer, and later with the entry of organic matter and viscous substances, a permanent sediment layer can be developed through consolidation. Existing studies have shown that the thickness of sediments in submerged box culverts can reach half of the height of the box culvert, which inevitably aggravates urban waterlogging. Therefore, predicting the thickness of sediments is helpful for formulating reasonable dredging maintenance scheme and providing basis for optimizing the design of box culvert system.

[0003] The existing sediment thickness measurement methods are mainly based on field survey. The field survey includes direct measurement of sediment thickness by manual measurement, device measurement (CN211783204U), laser ranging measurement (CN210242699U), and pipeline robot measurement. At present, there is a lack of a method for quickly predicting the thickness of sediments in a full-flow box culvert in rainy days. SUMMARY

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method for quickly predicting the thickness of sediments in a full-flow box culvert in rainy days, which can quickly predict the thickness of sediments in a full-flow box culvert in rainy days, save manpower and resources compared with actual measurement, help support box culvert operation and maintenance management, be conducive to optimizing the design specification and dredging work of the box culvert, guarantee the flow capacity of the box culvert, and reduce the risk of overflow pollution and urban waterlogging.

[0005] In order to realize the above technical features, the purpose of the present application is realized as follows: a method for quickly predicting the thickness of sediments in a full-flow box culvert in rainy days, comprising the following steps:

[0020] f s = 1.163[ln(0.234e 1.1007 -60.525 / Re 1.1105 + 56.291 / Re 1.0712 )]-2 (8)

[0021] where: e is the relative roughness coefficient, i.e. the median grain size d 50 of the sediment layer to the height of the box culvert;

[0022] Step six: determine the corrected friction coefficient f b after the sediment is carried by the water flow, more kinetic energy is needed to be consumed, and the corrected sediment-carrying friction coefficient is twice the friction coefficient of the sediment layer:

[0023] f b = 2f s (9)

[0024] Step seven: determine the shear stress τ b of the sediment layer, which is mainly determined by the sediment-carrying friction coefficient and the flow velocity in the box culvert:

[0025] τ b = (f b ρV 2 ) / 8 (10)

[0051] In the process of determining the bottom sediment layer thickness h in the step one, it is assumed that the sediment layer is isohypse in the box culvert section; and it is assumed that the sediment layer width is equal to the box culvert width.

[0052] Also includes step eight: list the thickness of the sediment case matrix under different conditions, and give relevant suggestions for box culvert design and sediment dredging maintenance.

[0053] Typical conditions include:

[0054] 1) sediment median particle size d 50 = 0.4, 0.9, 1.8, 2.5mm;

[0055] 2) mass fraction of viscous material Y = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4;

[0056] 3) P = 1, 2 years because most of the existing design recurrence period is less than two years;

[0057] 4) medium city rainfall duration t = 90, 120min.

[0058] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] 1) The present application can quickly predict the thickness of the sediment in the full-flow box culvert in rainy days, which can save manpower and material resources compared with actual measurement, help support box culvert operation and maintenance management, be conducive to optimizing the design specification and dredging work of the box culvert, and protect the flow capacity of the box culvert, reduce the risk of overflow pollution and urban waterlogging.

[0060] 2) The present application uses dimensionless bottom shear stress and shear stress calculated by kinetic friction coefficient to solve the thickness of the sediment. In actual operation, the thickness of the sediment can be directly measured by underwater operation or pipeline robot. Such method needs complicated preliminary preparation work to lower the downstream water level to directly measure. The pipeline robot has insufficient obstacle avoidance ability, and there may be a large amount of toxic gas in the box culvert, so manual measurement method has high risk. And at the end of pumping and lowering water level, the thickness of the sediment layer may change due to the disturbance of water flow, thereby underestimating the real thickness of the sediment layer and the operation and maintenance frequency of the box culvert.

[0084] Where: e is the relative roughness coefficient, that is, the median particle size d 50 of the sediment particles in the sediment layer;

[0094] The ratio of the height of the box culvert;

[0085] Step six: determine the friction coefficient f after the correction of the sediment carrying b Since the water flow carries a certain concentration of sediment movement, more kinetic energy needs to be consumed, and the corrected sediment carrying friction coefficient is twice the friction coefficient of the sediment layer:

[0086] f b = 2f s (9)

[0087] Step seven: determine the shear stress τ of the sediment layer b , which is mainly determined by the sediment carrying friction coefficient and the flow velocity in the box culvert:

[0094] D* = d 50 ((s-1)g / ν 2 ) (1 / 3) (12)

[0095] where s is the relative density of the sediment, and g is the acceleration of gravity;

[0096] Step ten: Determine the critical shear stress of the particle τ c :

[0118] 5) the mass fraction Y of the viscous substance = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4;

[0119] 6) P = 1, 2 years because most of the existing design return periods are less than two years;

[0120] 4) the rainfall duration t of the medium-sized city = 90, 120 min.

[0142] (17) The two sediment layer shear stress calculation formulas are combined, and the sediment thickness h = 0.481 m can be solved, which accounts for 32.07% of the box culvert height.

[0143] (18) The sediment thickness case matrix of the full-flow box culvert under rain in the remaining working conditions is shown in Figure 4 . With the increase of sediment particle size, the sediment layer thickness gradually increases, and the influence of the mass fraction of viscous substances on the sediment thickness is relatively small. The sediment thickness inside the box culvert with a design return period of one year is large, and the maximum can reach 50% of the depth of the box culvert. The longer the rainfall duration of the box culvert, the greater the sediment thickness.

[0144] Based on the analysis of working conditions, the suggestions for the design of box culverts include: 1) the design return period is 2 years, and the old box culverts with a design return period less than 2 years need to be reconstructed; 2) the design rainfall duration of box culverts should not be too long, and generally 90 min is taken, and the thickness of the sediment layer can be controlled within 20% of the height of the box culvert.

[0145] The suggestions for dredging maintenance include: 1) setting up sand removal devices at the source of the pipe network to reduce the entry of particles with a particle size exceeding 0.9 mm into the pipe network system; 2) increasing the dredging frequency for box culverts with a design return period less than 2 years to reduce the risk of waterlogging.
