TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of anti-scouring water delivery channel, in particular to a long-distance water delivery channel in desert area. BACKGROUND
[0002] According to the Design Specification for Irrigation and Drainage Engineering: the design flow of the channel end return channel should not be less than 50% of the design flow of the channel end.
[0003] Therefore, the long-distance water delivery channel needs to be provided with a return channel. When arranging the steep slope and the stilling basin and other structures, the return channel should be arranged in combination with the actual terrain; the downstream of the return channel should have a proper outlet (depression) and should also be regulated; when arranging the energy dissipation structure, the upstream should be smooth and the downstream should be fully energy dissipated to prevent downstream scouring.
[0004] The engineering area in the desert area is desert aeolian sand. Since the desert aeolian sand is relatively loose and has poor anti-scouring property, it is prone to source destruction under the action of concentrated water flow. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of source destruction and destruction of the return channel caused by the difference in height between the end of the return channel and the ground of the discharge area.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, a long-distance water delivery channel return channel anti-scouring system in a desert area is provided, which comprises a main channel and further comprises a hard channel and a soft channel.
[0007] The hard channel is connected with the downstream end of the main channel, the hard channel uses a hard structure to guide the water flow to the lower terrain discharge area, and is used for eliminating the difference in height.
[0008] The soft channel is arranged in the discharge area and is connected with the downstream end of the hard channel.
[0009] The soft channel uses a flexible structure to eliminate the residual energy of the concentrated water flow.
[0010] Preferably, the hard structure is a concrete structure.
[0011] Preferably, the flexible structure is a flexible gabion.
[0012] Preferably, the lining structure of the flexible gabion comprises, from bottom to top, a thick sand gravel cushion layer, a thick local sand mortar, a cloth and a film, a thick cast-in-place concrete slab, and a thick gabion, wherein:
[0013] The thick sand gravel cushion layer is used to provide foundation support and help drainage.
[0014] The thick local sand mortar is used to enhance the structural stability and help fix the bottom layer.
[0015] One cloth one film generally refers to a layer of geotextile plus a layer of waterproof film, used to isolate the upper and lower materials and prevent water penetration damage.
[0016] Thick cast-in-place concrete slab is used to increase overall strength and durability.
[0017] Thick gabion stone cage as the outermost layer, directly facing the water flow, while allowing some deformation to adapt to environmental changes without losing function.
[0018] In this scheme, the hard channel is designed to guide the water flow to the lower terrain discharge area to eliminate the energy generated by the height difference. The main role of the hard channel is to stabilize the water flow and prevent erosion problems caused by excessive flow velocity; the soft channel uses flexible structures to further disperse and absorb the remaining energy, thereby protecting the surrounding environment from the damage of high-speed water flow. Gabion stone cage is a net-like structure woven by metal wire, filled with stones or other hard materials, with good water permeability and deformation adaptation, which makes it very suitable for use in desert areas that require flexibility and durability.
[0019] In addition, due to the lack of vegetation coverage in desert areas, the ground surface is very susceptible to water erosion. The hard channel restricts the water flow in a fixed channel through a solid structure, avoiding direct impact of the water flow on the surrounding sand, thereby effectively protecting the ground surface from erosion, and the hard channel can provide a stable water delivery path to ensure the water flow in the predetermined direction. Once the water flow reaches the low-lying area, the flow velocity slows down, and the gabion stone cage is used to further dissipate energy, which can more safely guide the water into the natural environment or for irrigation purposes.
[0020] As a further improvement of the technical solution, the hard channel includes a first steep slope, a primary stilling basin, a gentle slope section, a second steep slope, and a secondary stilling basin.
[0021] Wherein:
[0022] The first steep slope has a longitudinal slope of 1 / 6.
[0023] The first steep slope is arranged downstream of the primary stilling basin.
[0024] The gentle slope section with a longitudinal slope of 1 / 1000 is arranged after the primary stilling basin.
[0025] The second steep slope is arranged after the gentle slope section.
[0026] The secondary stilling basin is arranged downstream of the second steep slope.
[0027] In the above scheme, the first steep slope (longitudinal slope 1 / 6) mainly serves to quickly reduce the height difference of the water level, so that the water flow can quickly flow from high to low-lying areas. Therefore, a relatively steep slope is chosen to quickly dissipate part of the potential energy, while ensuring that the hard channel will not be severely eroded due to excessive flow rate. The first energy dissipating pool immediately after the first steep slope is used to absorb and disperse most of the kinetic energy of the high-speed water flow brought by the steep slope, preventing damage caused by direct impact on downstream structures or the natural environment. In addition, the energy dissipating pool also serves as a buffer, making the water flow more stable and preparing for the subsequent gentle slope section.
[0028] After the first energy dissipating pool, a very gentle slope section is arranged, which is designed to allow the water flow that has been slowed down and lost a lot of kinetic energy to continue moving forward at a lower speed. Such a design helps to further stabilize the water flow, reduce any remaining energy, and provides enough time and space for the sediment carried in the water to settle down, avoiding the accumulation of these substances in the downstream location; then a steeper slope is introduced again, aiming to further reduce the water level by taking advantage of the terrain, while maintaining an appropriate flow rate to ensure that the water flow does not stagnate.
[0029] Finally, another energy dissipating pool is set after the second steep slope, and the presence of the second energy dissipating pool ensures that even in extreme cases, excessive energy will not be transferred to the soft channel.
[0030] As a further improvement of the technical solution, the soft channel includes a gabion diffusion section that is a flexible structure, arranged after the second energy dissipating pool.
[0031] Wherein, the longitudinal slope of the gabion diffusion section is 0, and a trapezoidal cross-section is adopted.
[0032] After being processed by the two energy dissipating pools, the water flow has lost most of its kinetic energy, and entering a diffusion section with no obvious slope can make the water flow more evenly distributed, avoiding local erosion or scouring problems caused by sudden changes in flow rate, thereby helping to maintain the stability of the water flow and reducing the impact on the downstream environment. Moreover, as a flexible structure, the gabion is filled with stones or other materials, which not only provides sufficient strength to support the water flow and resist external pressure, but also allows vegetation to grow due to its porous nature, promoting the recovery and development of the ecological environment. In addition, the use of gabions can also help to filter sediment and improve water quality.
[0033] Furthermore, since the gabion is flexible, it can well adapt to irregular ground conditions, and even slight subsidence or deformation of the ground will not affect the integrity of the overall structure. This makes it very suitable for use in areas with complex or easily changing geological conditions, such as desert edge zones.
[0034] As preferred, the bottom width of the gabion diffuser section gradually changes from 5.0 m to 50.0 m, so as to effectively increase the water passing area and reduce the flow velocity, and a lead wire gabion slope section with a slope of 1:3 is formed, that is, for each unit of height increase, the lateral extension is 3 units in length, so as to ensure sufficient anti-sliding capacity and not too steep to cause safety hazards.
[0035] As a further improvement of the technical solution, the over-flow side weir is arranged at the straight section and the right circular arc section of the soft channel end, for guiding the water flow to a low-lying area, and the weir top elevation is lower than the embankment top platform of the flexible gabion, so that the water flow can smoothly flow out at a lower position, reducing the pressure on the embankment top platform.
[0036] As preferred, the downstream slope of the soft channel is connected to the outlet local extension protection section with a slope of 1:3.
[0037] As preferred, the rectangular groove bottom of the whole hard channel is provided with a tooth wall, the tooth wall slope is 1:1, and a cushion beam is arranged at the lower side of the tooth wall, and the length of the cushion beam is consistent with the width of the rectangular groove.
[0038] The purpose of the above design is that the desert terrain is complex and changeable, and even in a relatively flat area, there may be local weak layers or different types of soil staggered distribution. When these different foundations are subjected to external loads (such as water flow impact), different degrees of settlement may occur. By arranging a cushion beam below the tooth wall, the weight of the entire rectangular groove can be evenly distributed on a larger foundation, reducing the structural stress concentration problem caused by uneven settlement. The length of the cushion beam is consistent with the width of the rectangular groove, ensuring good contact between the two, and further enhancing the integrity of the structure.
[0039] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0040] In the anti-scouring system of the long-distance water delivery channel in the desert area, in order to ensure the safe operation of the main channel and the water return channel and save engineering investment, for the soil body of desert aeolian sand with special engineering characteristics, the water return channel adopts a "soft and hard" combination in the design process, that is, a concrete structure is used to guide the water flow to a low-lying discharge area away from the main channel, so as to eliminate the difference, and a flexible gabion structure is used to eliminate the residual energy of the concentrated water flow, reduce the bottom flow velocity, prevent local scouring, and solve the problem of aeolian sand backtracking damage.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0048] Source destruction (also known as reverse erosion or upstream erosion) refers to the phenomenon that water flow erodes in the upstream direction along the riverbed or channel, causing the material at the bottom of the riverbed or channel and the bank slope to be washed away. This phenomenon can quickly spread because once it starts, the water flow will continue to erode and carry away more material, thereby exacerbating the degree of destruction.
[0049] Due to the characteristics of desert aeolian sand, which is loose and poor in erosion resistance, under the action of concentrated water flow, this type of damage is prone to occur, and the difference in height between the end of the water outlet channel and the ground of the discharge area will cause the water flow to speed up, increasing the erosion force on the bottom and side wall of the channel.
[0050] Therefore, a desert area long-distance water conveying channel water outlet channel anti-erosion system is provided, which aims to extend the water outlet channel for reconstruction, so that the water outlet channel has the ability to discharge water for a long time and in large flow, and can fully play the water outlet function in emergency situations, which is very necessary for improving the operation safety of the desert open channel water conveying period.
