AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the methods for determining the distance of river cross sections are flawed, resulting in significant errors in the calculation of river channel storage capacity. Furthermore, the methods fail to accurately reflect the actual distance as the river morphology changes with water level variations.
When historical river topographic data is available, the equivalent distance is inferred by calculating the storage capacity between two adjacent cross sections; when only cross section data is available, the equivalent distance is calculated using a sector area, taking into account the river course and water level changes.
The accuracy of channel storage calculation has been optimized to be closer to the actual distance, reducing calculation errors and adapting to changes in channel morphology.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of geographic information system technology, specifically to a method for calculating the distance of a river cross section. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the high time and material costs associated with river topographic surveying, river topographic information is typically collected by measuring river cross sections or by taking multiple cross sections at intervals. River cross sections are usually laid out continuously at appropriate intervals along the river channel, perpendicular to the flow direction, to fully reflect the river's course. In hydrology, river cross section data is frequently used to calculate channel storage capacity. The formula for calculating the channel storage capacity V between two adjacent cross sections is:
[0003] V = [S 上 +S 下 +(S 上 ×S 下 ) 1 / 2 ]d / 3
[0004] In the formula, S 上 S represents the cross-sectional area of the water passage. 下 Let S be the cross-sectional area of the lower section, and d be the distance between two adjacent sections. The cross-sectional area S between the upper and lower sections is... 上 S 下 All of these can be accurately measured and calculated, but the distance between adjacent cross-sections lacks a clear definition and is essentially an equivalent distance. Common methods for determining this distance include: 1. the length of the line connecting the midpoints of the cross-sections; 2. the centroid method; and 3. manual drawing followed by measurement. However, all of these are fixed values. In reality, the cross-sectional distances determined by these methods may deviate significantly from the actual distances. Furthermore, as water levels change, the river channel morphology and length also change. Therefore, the length of the river channel cross-section distance becomes a key source of error in calculating channel storage using the cross-sectional method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for calculating the equivalent distance of a river cross section, optimize the value of the distance between adjacent cross sections when calculating the channel storage of the traditional cross section method, and realize the calculation of river scour and sedimentation under the background of having historical river topography and not having historical river topography data.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This application provides a method for calculating the distance across a river cross section, including the following specific steps:
[0008] Collect river channel topographic data and cross-sectional data;
[0009] The data collected is assessed, and the river cross-sectional distance is calculated separately when historical river topographic data is available and when only cross-sectional data is available.
[0010] Scenario 1: Given existing historical river topographic data, first calculate the channel storage capacity (Vol) of the river topography below the water surface between two adjacent cross-sections using the river topographic data from a specific measurement. 地 The cross-sectional area S below the water surface between the two adjacent cross sections. 上 S 下 Thus, the equivalent distance d between the two cross sections is obtained:
[0011] d = 3Vol 地 / [S 上 +S 下+ (S 上 ×S 下 ) 1 / 2 ]
[0012] Scenario 2: With only cross-sectional data available, extend two adjacent cross-sections. If the two cross-sections intersect at a single point, there will be a fan-shaped area formed by the two cross-sections or their extensions. Calculate the positions AB and CD of the water surface lines of the upper and lower cross-sections, and their midpoints E and F, based on the water level and cross-sectional data. Calculate the two line segments OE and OF formed by the intersection of the midpoints of the water surface lines of the two cross-sections and the cross-sections or their extensions, with lengths R and R respectively. 上 R 下 , with R 上 R 下 Let be the radius and θ form an scalene sector. The arc length d of the sector is the equivalent distance between adjacent cross-sections. The formula for calculating d is:
[0013] d=(R 上 +R 下 )θ / 2,
[0014] If the two cross sections are parallel, then the equivalent distance between the two cross sections is the distance between the parallel lines of the two cross sections.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] (1) With historical river topographic data as a reference, the equivalent distance of the cross section under different water levels can be inferred by using the channel storage volume under different water levels between cross sections, which is closer to the equivalent distance of the cross section when calculating the channel storage volume using the cross section method.
[0017] (2) With only cross-sectional data available, the characteristics of natural river formation and the characteristics of cross-sectional layout reflecting river trend were fully considered. The original cross-sectional distance was changed from a straight line to a curve. Furthermore, the changes in river morphology under different water levels were taken into account, making it closer to the actual distance under natural river conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a method for calculating river channel scour and sedimentation volume using the cross-sectional method, comprising the following specific steps:
[0024] Taking two adjacent fixed cross sections S292 and S293 in the Three Gorges Reservoir as examples, the river section has river topographic data and cross section data in 2016 and 2022.

[0035] Based on the cross-sectional location information and water level elevation, the coordinates of the left and right endpoints of the water surface line at different water levels can be determined. Furthermore, the coordinates of the intersection point of the cross-section or its extension, and the included angle between the cross-sections can be calculated. Therefore, the distance R between the midpoint of the water surface line and the intersection point of the cross-section or its extension can be determined. S292 At water levels of 145 meters and 165 meters, the depths are 2972 meters and 2955 meters respectively. R S293 The water levels at 145 meters and 165 meters are 2952 meters and 2903 meters respectively. Relevant information is shown in Table 4.

[0038] Using the cross-sectional distance formula d=(R 上 +R 下Using θ / 2, the equivalent cross-sectional distances at water levels of 145m and 165m are calculated to be 2101m and 2078m, respectively. Based on 2022 river cross-sectional data, the areas of cross-sections S292 and S293 at water levels of 145m and 165m are known. Using the cross-sectional method, the channel storage capacity is calculated using the formula: V=[S 上 +S 下 +(S 上 ×S 下 ) 1 / 2 ]d / 3, the tank storage capacity under the original cross-sectional distance and the optimized equivalent cross-sectional distance can be obtained respectively.
