AI Technical Summary
Existing high-pressure water diversion tunnels are prone to lining cracks, water leakage and complex calculation and analysis problems under water pressure, making it difficult to adapt to complex geological environments.
The low-impact water diversion tunnel design based on a gradual elevation is adopted. Through the smooth connection between the low-top section, the gradient section and the high-top section, the top elevation of the gradient section gradually increases along the water flow direction, forming a suitable smooth connection for the transition of the water flow.
It effectively avoids water flow disorder, slows down the water flow speed, reduces the water level and water pressure, thereby extending the service life of the tunnel.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and in particular to a method for constructing a low-impact water diversion tunnel and a contour line model thereof based on gradually rising elevation. Background Art
[0002] The diversion tunnel is a water conveyance structure that diverts the power generation water from the upstream reservoir to the vicinity of the power plant. It can be divided into non-pressure tunnels and pressure tunnels according to hydraulic conditions. Non-pressure tunnels mostly adopt a gate-shaped cross-section, and the water flow in the tunnel is an open flow state, while pressure tunnels mostly adopt a horseshoe-shaped or circular cross-section, and the water flow in the tunnel is a full-tunnel pressurized flow state.
[0003] At present, the overall layout of a hydropower station consists of an upstream water intake building, a water diversion pressure tunnel, a surge chamber (surge well), a pressure steel pipe, a plant, and a downstream river channel. When the water passes through the water diversion pressure tunnel, the tunnel is filled with water flow, and the top of the tunnel is subject to a certain amount of water pressure. There is no free water surface in the pressure tunnel, and the water flow pattern is better. However, the water pressure in the tunnel is high, and hard rocks are required to resist the water pressure, otherwise it is not economical. Pressure tunnels are suitable for conditions with good geological conditions. However, due to the complex environmental conditions and working mechanisms of hydraulic high-pressure water diversion tunnels, there are still many problems that have not been well solved in terms of crack spacing and width after cracking of the tunnel lining, high-pressure internal water seepage and water load, and calculation and analysis methods. If the traditional pressure water diversion tunnel water delivery method can be changed to non-pressure open channel water delivery, it will avoid the problems of long pressure tunnels, difficult excavation, or the inability to excavate pressure tunnels due to complex geology.
