[0002] In the planning and design of waterway engineering, it is often necessary to calculate the siltation amount of the river channel in the reservoir area and the river channel form parameters.

Among them, the water and sediment conditions mainly include the water and sediment amount, the change process and the sediment composition; the downstream erosion datum plane includes the water surface of the control outlet section or the corresponding water surface of the resistant rock layer limiting the development of the river flow in the longitudinal direction; and the river channel perimeter conditions are mainly related to the geological and geomorphological conditions of the river section, including the river channel form, the riverbed composition and the previous siltation amount.

[0088] In actual application, the method for calculating the deposition amount of a river channel type reservoir and evaluating the channel morphological parameters of a reservoir area according to the present application comprises the following steps:
[0089] River section erosion and deposition amount prediction:
[0090] The method is based on the measured data, through the establishment of river channel erosion and sedimentation volume and water and sediment conditions of the empirical relationship;
[0091] First, considering the sediment coefficient is often widely used to reflect the river reach erosion and sedimentation volume of water and sediment conditions, the time period average sediment coefficient is expressed as formula (1):
[0092]
[0093] In the formula: N is the total number of days; S i The daily average sediment concentration, kg / m3; Q i The daily average flow, m3 / s;
[0094] For river type reservoir river reach, its erosion and sedimentation volume change not only by the upstream water and sediment, but also by the downstream reservoir scheduling;
[0095] Reservoir scheduling can be used to reflect the change of dam water level;
[0096] When the same reservoir inflow, the higher the dam water level, the smaller the reservoir section slope, the smaller the flow sediment carrying capacity, the greater the reservoir sedimentation;
[0097] Learn from the concept of flow sediment carrying capacity, flow sediment carrying capacity is generally proportional to the m times of flow and slope J, where the index m can be determined by the relationship between sediment transport rate and flow, so formula (1) can be further written as formula (2):
[0098]
[0099] The actual water and sediment parameters reflecting the change of river reach erosion and sedimentation;
[0100] When W i =0, the river bed is in a state of no erosion and no sedimentation, assuming
[0101] When the river bed is in a state of erosion, When the river bed is in a state of erosion, Then formula (4) can be written as formula (3):
[0102]
[0103] In the formula: m is the index; A is the critical erosion and sedimentation parameter; the rest of the symbols are the same as before;
[0104] The previous period of river reach erosion and sedimentation will have a certain influence on the erosion and sedimentation of the next period of sediment;
[0105] The current period of cumulative sedimentation When the river bed reaches the deposition balance, the river bed no longer accumulates, at this time W i = 0, written as a general formula as formula (4):
[0106]
[0107] In the formula: B is the total amount of deposition at the time of deposition balance; n is the index; the rest of the symbols are the same as before;
[0108] Synthesize formula (3), formula (4), the annual deposition amount W j The calculation formula can be summarized as formula (5):
[0109]
[0110] In the formula: k is a coefficient, and the rest of the symbols are the same as before;
[0111] Among them, is the comprehensive parameter of reservoir deposition and erosion, which comprehensively reflects the influence of water and sediment conditions, previous deposition and reservoir operation mode on river erosion and deposition;
[0112] Evaluation of low water channel parameters of the river section:
[0113] For river-type reservoir sections, there are significant differences between the channel shape parameters of different sections, and the channel shape of a specific section cannot represent the shape characteristics of the entire low water channel of the river section;
[0114] In order to analyze the evolution law of the entire low water channel of the river section, the method of river section average is used to calculate the low water channel shape parameters of the river section scale;
[0115] The method of combining logarithmic conversion and section distance weighted average is used to calculate the channel shape parameters of the river section scale;
[0116] Assume that the length of the study river section is L, and a number of fixed sections are set, the channel shape parameter G i (including river width (B i ), cross-section average area (A i ), water depth (H i ), width-depth ratio (η i )), which can be expressed as formula (6):
[0117]
[0118] In the formula: x j represents the distance of the jth section from the dam, m; N is the number of sections in the calculation river section;
[0119] The adjustment of the channel shape is essentially the result of the river erosion and deposition process;
[0120] The deposition process of the reservoir reach is related to the upstream incoming water and sediment, reservoir operation and the previous accumulated deposition. Therefore, the relationship between the morphological parameters of the low-water channel and the comprehensive parameters of the reservoir impact is established, and formula (7) is obtained:
[0121]
[0122] In the formula, G i is the channel morphological parameter of the river reach in the i-th year, C is a constant term, and the remaining symbols are the same as before.
[0123] Step 3: Specific implementation:
[0124] The Huanghuacheng reach in the Three Gorges reservoir area is selected as an example to implement the method;
[0125] Deposition calculation:
[0126] Table 1 is the deposition of the Huanghuacheng reach after the impoundment of the Three Gorges reservoir;
[0127] Table 2 is the parameter calibration results of formula (10);
[0128] Figure 1 is the annual deposition of the Huanghuacheng reach and the average sediment coefficient of the corresponding period. As shown in the figure, the annual deposition and the sediment coefficient are proportional, and the correlation coefficient is 0.72. The fitting formula is shown in formula (8):
[0129]
[0130] In the formula, W i is the annual deposition of the river reach, 104 m3, and the remaining symbols are the same as before.
[0131] To calculate the sediment carrying capacity of the flow m and the hydraulic gradient J need to be determined, where m can be determined by the relationship between the sediment carrying rate and the flow, and Figure 2 Therefore, m in the Huanghuacheng reach is about 2.5;
[0132] The gradient is determined according to the difference between the upstream and downstream water level stations (the upstream and downstream water level stations of the Huanghuacheng reach are Zhongxian and Shibaozhai water level stations);
[0133] According to Figure 3 It can be seen that the deposition of the Huanghuacheng reach is negatively correlated with the sediment carrying capacity of the flow, that is, as the water level before the dam decreases, the annual deposition of the Huanghuacheng reach decreases, which is consistent with the general law of river bed erosion and deposition in the reservoir reach.
[0134] Table 1 is the deposition of the Huanghuacheng reach after the impoundment of the Three Gorges reservoir;
[0135]
[0136] Table 2 Parameter calibration results in formula (10)
[0137]
[0138] According to the data in Table 1 from 2003 to 2016, the parameters of formula (5) are calibrated to obtain the siltation calculation formula (formula 8) of Huanghuacheng river section after the impoundment of Three Gorges Reservoir;
[0139] Figure 5 (a) is the comparison result of the calculated value and the measured value of the annual siltation of Huanghuacheng river section. It can be seen that the calculated value is in good agreement with the measured value, and the correlation coefficient R2 is 0.81. The measured data from 2017 to 2018 is used to verify formula (8), and the calculated value is consistent with the measured value in trend, and the two are relatively close;
[0140] Figure 5 (b) is the comparison result of the calculated value and the measured value of the cumulative siltation of Huanghuacheng river section, and the correlation coefficient R2 of the two is 0.99;
[0141] It shows that formula (8) can basically meet the calculation requirements of the siltation of Huanghuacheng river section after the impoundment of Three Gorges Reservoir;
[0142]
[0143] Low water channel parameter calculation and prediction:
[0144] The cross-section area (S i ), average water depth (H i ), river width (B i ) and width-depth ratio and other parameters under a certain water level are important indicators to describe the cross-section shape;
[0145] According to the Three Gorges Reservoir operation scheme, the water level before the dam drops to the flood control limit water level 145m around June 10 every year, which is the period of the lowest water level in Huanghuacheng river section all year round, and is the most unfavorable time for navigation;
[0146] Considering that Zhongxian station is located at the upper end of the river section and has a smaller slope in low water period, the water level of Huanghuacheng river section can be represented by Zhongxian station;
[0147] According to statistics, the multi-year average water level of Zhongxian station on June 10 from 2003 to 2018 is about 144.43m;
[0148] According to formula (6), the calculation results of low water channel shape parameters of Huanghuacheng river section from 2003 to 2018 are calculated; Figure 6
[0149] The parameters of formula (10) were calibrated using data from 2003 to 2016, and the rationality of the calibrated parameter values was tested using the measured data from 2017 and 2018. The calibration results of the parameters are shown in Table 2, and the comparison between the calculated and measured values of each parameter is shown in Figure 6 ;
[0150] As shown in Table 2, n in the empirical formula is greater than 0, α is less than 0, and β is greater than 0, indicating that the river width, water depth, cross-sectional area, and width-to-depth ratio of the low-water channel in the Huanghuacheng River section decrease with the increase of the previous sedimentation and upstream sediment volume, and increase with the increase of the water level in front of the dam, which is consistent with the general law of riverbed evolution.
[0151] Judging from the accuracy of the formula fitting, the average water depth of the river section Average area Average aspect ratio The fitting effect is better, and the average river width B i The accuracy is poor, with an R2 of only 0.44. There are two main reasons for this: first, the sediment in the Huanghuacheng River section has been deposited in the river channel at an elevation of 142 m, and changes in water and sediment conditions over a short time scale will not cause a significant widening or narrowing of the river width; second, it is affected by the measurement accuracy;
[0152] But the H i 、A i ,η i With G i There is a good correlation between them, with the correlation coefficients R2 reaching 0.96, 0.97, and 0.94, respectively, indicating that the water depth, cross-sectional area, and width-to-depth ratio of the dry river channel in this river section can respond well to the sedimentation process in this river section;
[0153] The established empirical formula for low-water channel can be used to predict the changing trends of water depth, cross-sectional area and width-to-depth ratio of the low-water channel in this river section.
