Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and relates to a method for measuring the volume of a platform-shaped irregular body at any height, as well as a method for measuring the horizontal cross-sectional area of a platform-shaped irregular body at any height. Background Technology
[0002] In water conservancy and hydropower projects, it is essential to obtain timely and accurate water level-reservoir capacity curves and water level-water level area change curves to monitor water level changes and obtain accurate information such as regulating reservoir capacity, freezing capacity, and evaporation. This allows for timely adjustments to the water level, especially during the flood season, providing a basis for selecting flood control strategies based on water level changes. However, reservoirs and other structures are often irregular, platform-shaped bodies. Currently, water level information is obtained primarily through 3D modeling to measure the volume of such geometric shapes, the volume of the portion below the horizontal cross-section at any height, and the area of the horizontal cross-section at any height. This method is time-consuming, results in delayed water level information, and requires highly skilled technicians. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for measuring the volume of an irregular, platform-shaped body at any height, which can quickly and accurately obtain the reservoir capacity curve so as to monitor water level changes in real time.
[0004] Another objective of this invention is a method for measuring the horizontal cross-sectional area of an irregular, platform-shaped body at any height, which can quickly and accurately obtain the water level-water level area curve, so as to monitor changes in water level area in real time.
[0005] The first technical solution adopted in this invention is a method for measuring the volume of an irregular, platform-shaped body at any height, specifically implemented according to the following steps:
[0006] Step 1: Obtain the top and bottom areas of the frustum-shaped irregular geometry using software;
[0007] Step 2: Calculate the total volume of the frustum-shaped irregular body based on the top and bottom surface areas obtained in Step 1.
[0008] Step 3: Calculate the volume of the portion below the horizontal section at any height of the irregular frustum based on the total volume of the irregular frustum obtained in Step 2.
[0009] Step 4: Based on the relationship between the volume of the part below the horizontal section at any height of the platform-shaped irregular body obtained in Step 3 and the height, draw the water level-reservoir capacity change curve, and obtain water level information in real time based on the reservoir capacity curve.
[0010] The first technical solution of the present invention is further characterized in that,
[0011] In step 1, the definition of the frustum-shaped irregular geometry is: on the horizontal projection plane, the closed curve L2 is obtained by offsetting the closed curve L1 at equal distances, that is, the offset distance M is a constant value, and the bottom and top surfaces are both horizontal planes.
[0012] In step 1, the software is one of CAD, Catia, or Rhino.
[0013] In step 2, the expression for calculating the total volume of the frustum-shaped irregular body is:

[0016] If the offset distance M is unknown, then i represents the slope ratio.
[0017] In step 3, the expression for calculating the volume of the portion below the horizontal section at any height of the frustum-shaped irregular body is as follows:
[0018] V h =S1×h+(h×Δ2+L1)×A h (2)
[0019] In equation (2), V h Let h be the volume of the part below the horizontal section at any height of the irregular frustum, h be the arbitrary height of the irregular frustum, S1 be the area of the bottom surface, and L1 be the length of the closed curve of the bottom surface.

[0029] Step 3: Calculate the horizontal cross-sectional area at any height of the irregular frustum body based on the total volume of the irregular frustum body obtained in Step 2.
[0030] Step 4: Based on the relationship between the horizontal cross-sectional area and the height at any height of the irregular platform obtained in Step 3, plot the water level-water level area change curve, and obtain water level area information in real time based on the water level-water level area change curve.

[0035]
[0036] In equation (7), V is the total volume of the platform-shaped irregular body, S2 is the area of the top surface, S1 is the area of the bottom surface, M is the offset distance, H is the total height of the platform-shaped irregular body, and L1 is the length of the closed curve of the bottom surface.
[0037] If the offset distance M is unknown, then i represents the slope ratio.
[0038] In step 3, the expression for calculating the horizontal cross-sectional area at any height of the frustum-shaped irregular body is:
[0039]

[0046] In equations (9)-(12), V is the total volume of the platform-shaped irregular body; L1 is the length of the closed curve of the bottom surface; M is the offset distance; and H is the total height of the platform-shaped irregular body.
[0047] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the method for measuring the volume and horizontal cross-sectional area of an irregular platform at any height involves few parameters and can quickly obtain the volume and horizontal cross-sectional area at any height. This allows for the rapid plotting of reservoir capacity curves and water level-water level area change curves in water conservancy and hydropower projects, facilitating real-time monitoring of water level and water level area. The method is simple, easy to operate, and requires less technical expertise. Furthermore, this invention is also applicable to geometric bodies composed of multiple irregular platform-shaped bodies stacked together. Attached Figure Description

Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the platform-shaped irregular geometry is obtained by offsetting the closed curve L2 from the closed curve L1 at equal distances on the horizontal projection plane (that is, the closed curve L2 on the top surface is obtained by offsetting the closed curve L1 on the bottom surface at equal distances).

[0079] Step 3: Calculate the horizontal cross-sectional area at any height of the frustum-shaped irregular body. The specific expression is as follows:

The regulating capacity can be obtained by comparing the reservoir capacity corresponding to the normal water level and the dead water level. The total reservoir capacity can be obtained by comparing the reservoir capacity corresponding to the check water level. The water surface area corresponding to the characteristic water level can be used to calculate evaporation, freezing capacity, etc.
