Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of computational hydraulics, specifically to a dimensionality reduction method for river hydrodynamic simulation. Background Technology
[0002] Numerical simulation is an important tool for studying river network flow structure, pollutant diffusion, sediment transport, and riverbed evolution. 3D CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) uses Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for modeling and solving, or employs advanced methods such as large eddy simulation and separated eddy simulation, to accurately calculate flow fields and describe material transport characteristics under complex boundary conditions. However, the cumbersome and complex nature of 3D CFD simulations of moving bed processes, coupled with the high computational resource consumption, limits the long-term application of large-scale in-situ riverbed morphology dynamics simulations in engineering practice. Against this backdrop, two-dimensional hydrodynamic and geomorphological models based on SWEs (Shallow Water Equations) have become the standard tool for predicting riverbed evolution due to their computational efficiency. However, because 2D SWE models use depth averaging, their main limitation in complex river sections such as bends and confluences is their inability to explicitly consider three-dimensional effects, such as secondary flows that play a crucial role in pollutant and sediment transport, often resulting in insufficient accuracy.
[0003] For a long time, two-dimensional hydrodynamic and geomorphological dynamic models have been improved in various ways to account for the effects of curvature-induced secondary flows. The most common and simplest method is to adjust the direction of bed sediment transport based on the local streamline curvature within the horizontal plane. A more advanced method is to add appropriate dispersion terms to the SWEs, which depend on the intensity of the helical flow. Dispersion stresses can be calculated from the local streamline curvature or by solving the transport equations of the helical flow angular momentum. This method has clear physical meaning, does not significantly increase the computational workload, and is suitable for complex bends in natural river channels. However, these methods can only simulate curvature-driven secondary flows and cannot account for additional secondary flows caused by density gradients (such as uneven distribution of temperature or suspended sediment concentration).
[0004] Furthermore, while existing models can characterize the phase lag in the development and attenuation of secondary flows in river bends and reduce sensitivity to planar and / or topographic singularities, they have not yet addressed the coupling effect of density gradients and curvature-induced secondary flows. Although the additional mixing caused by secondary flows can be reflected by adding dispersion terms to the transport-diffusion equations, current depth-averaged models still lack a unified description of the interaction between density gradients and bend circulation, which is particularly critical in the simulation of suspended sediment transport and density currents. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a dimensionality-reduction simulation method for secondary flows that can comprehensively consider the combined driving forces of streamline curvature and density gradients. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a dimensionality reduction method for river hydrodynamic simulation. This method uses a two-dimensional finite element model to solve the coupled shallow water equations and convection-diffusion equations. By adding appropriate dispersion terms to the control equations, the interaction between density gradient and bend circulation can be fully considered, thereby realizing the representation of three-dimensional flow structure effects in the two-dimensional hydrodynamic model and improving simulation accuracy while ensuring computational efficiency.
[0006] To address the above technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, a dimensionality reduction method for river hydrodynamic simulation is provided, comprising: Data collection; A two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic model based on the shallow water equation is constructed. A dispersed stress term is added to the shallow water equation to obtain the modified shallow water equation. The influence of curvature-induced secondary flow is added to the shallow water equation through the dispersed stress term. Introducing the contribution of the density gradient to angular momentum into the angular momentum conservation equation, we obtain the angular momentum equation based on the influence of the density gradient. By coupling the convection-diffusion equations considering dispersed stress, a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model is constructed; the depth-averaged flow field and secondary flow intensity are calculated.
[0007] Furthermore, the data collection specifically includes: The parameter information of the river channel is obtained from the watershed hydrological stations, remote sensing monitoring systems and historical measurement data. The parameter information includes, but is not limited to, hydrological parameters, hydrodynamic parameters and topographic parameters.
[0008] Furthermore, to account for the contribution of the bend circulation to the momentum equation, a dispersed stress term is added to the shallow water equation, resulting in a modified shallow water equation. The revised shallow water equation is expressed as follows: , , , in, Represents the mass derivative. This represents the x-axis component of the velocity integrated along the water depth.

This represents the kinetic energy of the velocity fluctuations along the x-axis, which is the result of the vertical integral. , The vertical coordinate axis represents the direction along the water depth, with the riverbed at z=0 and the water surface at z=Y. This represents the difference between the actual value of the velocity component along the x-axis and the average value of the water depth. , This represents the distribution of instantaneous flow velocity along the vertical direction in the x-direction. This represents the average velocity across the water in the x-direction. , Both represent the xy-direction velocity fluctuation cocorrelation terms of the vertical integral. Due to symmetry, therefore... , This represents the difference between the actual value of the velocity component along the y-axis and the average value of the water depth. , This represents the distribution of instantaneous flow velocity along the vertical direction in the y-direction.

[0009] The steps involve constructing a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic model based on shallow water equations, adding a dispersed stress term to the shallow water equations to obtain a modified shallow water equation, and adding the influence of curvature-induced secondary flow into the shallow water equations through the dispersed stress term.
[0010] Using a local reference frame, where s represents the longitudinal direction (mainstream direction) and n represents the transverse direction; and assuming a simple vertical distribution of velocity in the s and n directions, and further assuming that the velocity component in the mainstream direction follows a power-law distribution, a closed-form expression for the dispersed stress term is obtained through coordinate transformation: , , , in, This indicates the magnitude of the average flow velocity at water depth. ; The specific calculation formulas for the three components of the dispersed stress represented in the local coordinate system are as follows: , , , in, Indicates friction parameters; The streamline radius represents the average water depth. R is positive when the water flow bends clockwise and negative otherwise. This represents the dimensionless transverse velocity at the free surface; Calculated using the eddy transport method.

Rewritten as: , in, The coefficient representing the production item; Denotes the von Kármán constant. ; Represents the coefficient of the dissipation term; The dimensionless transverse velocity at the free surface can be expressed as: .
[0012] Furthermore, the contribution of the density gradient to angular momentum is introduced into the angular momentum conservation equation. The angular momentum conservation equation is enhanced by adding an additional production term. The interaction between the density gradient and the bend circulation and its net effect on the momentum equation are considered in terms of the relative directions of curvature and density gradient, resulting in an angular momentum equation based on the influence of the density gradient. The expression for the angular momentum equation considering the density gradient is as follows: , in, All of these represent empirical coefficients. Indicates friction parameters, This indicates the lateral coordinate pointing to the inside of the curve; Based on the assumption that the water depth changes slowly, the angular momentum equation considering the density gradient is modified as follows: .
[0013] Furthermore, to account for the lateral net flux of sediment resulting from the combined effects of the non-uniform distribution of suspended sediment vertical concentration and the lateral spiral flow, the interpretation is enhanced by adding an appropriate dispersion stress term to the original convection-diffusion equation. The convection-diffusion equation describes the temporal and spatial evolution of the vertical average concentration of tracers and substances moving with the flow. The original convection-diffusion equation is expressed as: , in, Indicates concentration; Represents a two-dimensional divergence operator; The convection term represents the mass flux.

This represents the vertical integral diffuse flux component in the y-direction. Indicates erosion flux, Indicates deposition flux; , , in, This represents the difference between the vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration C(z) and the depth-average concentration C. This represents the flow component of the dispersed stress in the local reference frame. This represents the spanwise component of the dispersed stress in the local reference frame; Assuming the longitudinal velocity component follows a power-law distribution in the vertical direction and the lateral velocity component follows a linear distribution with a mean of 0 in the vertical direction, the vertical concentration distribution of the suspended matter is assumed to be a simplified Rouse distribution and calculated using the following formula: , in, Represents the normalization coefficient. , Indicates the height of the bedrock; Represents the Routh number; Thus, dispersed stress and It can be represented as: , , in, Indicates the average velocity of the flow direction. This represents the average lateral flow velocity. These represent the simplification coefficients in the equation, have no physical meaning, and are expressed mathematically as follows: , .
[0014] Furthermore, based on the modified shallow water equation, the angular momentum equation considering the influence of density gradient, and coupled with the convection-diffusion equation considering dispersed stress, a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model is constructed. The expression for the two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model is as follows: , , ,, , .
[0015] Furthermore, satellite remote sensing topographic data or ADCP measured water depth data are used as topographic boundary conditions to input into the two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model to complete the mapping and mesh generation of the study area.
[0016] Based on this computational domain, the flow rate and water temperature data of the upstream tributaries are input, which correspond to the flow velocity and density parameters in the governing equations, respectively. At the same time, the measured water level data of the downstream ADCP are input, and together with the initially set topographic boundary conditions, they are converted into water depth, coordinates and other governing equation parameters.
[0017] The flow velocity field in the computational domain is finally output by the model dimensionality reduction algorithm, thus obtaining the dimensionality reduction simulation results that integrate measured data, realizing the dimensionality reduction of three-dimensional hydrodynamic structures to two-dimensional efficient calculation.

[0019] According to another aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising a processor and the aforementioned storage medium, wherein the processor executes instructions in the storage medium.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, employing the above technical solution, has the following technical effects:
[0021] This invention incorporates curvature-induced secondary flow and density difference effects, as well as their interactions, into the two-dimensional shallow water equations through a diffuse stress term.

[0027] Example 1: like Figure 1-6 As shown, a dimensionality reduction method for river hydrodynamic simulation includes the following steps: S1. Obtain parameter information of the river channel from the watershed hydrological stations, remote sensing monitoring systems and historical measurement data. This information includes the river channel's hydrological parameters, hydrodynamic parameters, topographic parameters, etc. S2. To account for the contribution of the bend circulation to the momentum equation, a diffuse stress term is added to the shallow water equation, resulting in the modified shallow water equation. S3. The contribution of the density gradient to angular momentum is introduced into the angular momentum conservation equation. An additional production term is added to enhance the angular momentum conservation equation. The interaction between the density gradient and the bend circulation and its net effect on the momentum equation are considered in terms of the relative directions of curvature and density gradient, resulting in an angular momentum equation based on the influence of density gradient. S4. In order to take into account the net lateral flux of sediment generated by the combined effect of the non-uniform distribution of suspended sediment vertical concentration and the lateral spiral flow, the interpretation is enhanced by adding an appropriate dispersion stress term to the original convection-diffusion equation. S5. Based on the modified shallow water equation, the angular momentum equation considering the influence of density gradient, and coupled with the convection-diffusion equation considering the dispersed stress, a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model is constructed. S6. Using satellite remote sensing topographic data or ADCP-measured water depth data as topographic boundary conditions, input the model into a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model to complete the mapping and mesh generation of the study area. Based on this computational domain, input the flow rate and water temperature data of the upstream tributaries, corresponding to the flow velocity and density parameters in the governing equations, respectively. Simultaneously, input the downstream ADCP-measured water level data, which, together with the initially set topographic boundary conditions, are converted into water depth, coordinates, and other governing equation parameters. Through model dimensionality reduction algorithms, the final output is the velocity field of the computational domain, thus obtaining the dimensionality-reduced simulation results that integrate measured data, achieving efficient dimensionality reduction from three-dimensional hydrodynamic structures to two-dimensional computation.
[0028] In step S2, the modified shallow water equation is expressed as follows: , ,, , in, Represents the mass derivative. This represents the x-axis component of the velocity integrated along the water depth. This represents the equivalent water depth, which is the volume of water per unit area. This represents the Reynolds turbulent stress in the x-direction on a horizontal plane. The horizontal coordinate axis is parallel to the direction of the main channel of the river (usually positive in the direction of the flow). This represents the shear component of the Reynolds turbulent stress on a horizontal surface. The horizontal coordinate axis represents the direction perpendicular to the main channel of the river. The x-axis velocity fluctuation kinetic energy, representing the vertical integral, is physically determined by the additional normal stress in the x-axis caused by the uneven distribution of vertical velocity. , The vertical coordinate axis represents the direction of water depth (z=0 for the riverbed and z=Y for the water surface).

Due to symmetry, therefore... , This represents the difference between the actual value of the velocity component along the y-axis and the average value of the water depth. , This represents the distribution of instantaneous flow velocity along the vertical direction in the y-direction. This represents the average velocity across the water in the y-direction. The x-axis component represents the shear stress on the bed surface. This indicates the density of water. Represents gravitational acceleration. This represents the free surface elevation relative to the horizontal datum plane. This represents the y-axis component of the velocity integrated along the water depth. This represents the Reynolds turbulent stress in the y-direction on a horizontal plane. This represents the kinetic energy of the pulsating velocity along the y-axis, which is the result of the vertical integral. ; The y-axis component represents the shear stress on the bed surface. Representing the wetted area fraction, it is a storage coefficient related to water depth. , Indicates time.
[0029] The dispersed stress term reflects the subscale spatial variation of the unanalyzed velocity field. To derive the closed-form expression for the dispersed stress term, a local reference frame is typically used, where s represents the longitudinal direction (i.e., the mainstream direction) and n represents the transverse direction. It is also assumed that the flow velocity has a simple vertical distribution in the s and n directions, and that the velocity components in the mainstream direction follow a power-law distribution; these assumptions help simplify the derivation of the dispersed stress. Finally, through coordinate transformation, we obtain: , , , in, This indicates the magnitude of the average flow velocity at water depth. ; It does not depend on secondary flow; it acts along the mainstream direction, influencing flow by suppressing spatial acceleration and deceleration. It is the most important term in simulating secondary flow. Its spatial gradient may cause additional drag on the inside of the curve and acceleration on the outside of the curve, thus explaining the additional momentum transfer effect caused by helical flow. This may generate net transverse stress, the magnitude of which depends on the transverse velocity gradient and the transverse gradient of the secondary flow intensity. The specific calculation formulas for the three components of the dispersed stress, represented in the local coordinate system, are as follows: , , , in, Indicates friction parameters; The streamline radius represents the average water depth. R is positive when the water flow bends clockwise and negative otherwise. It represents the dimensionless transverse velocity at the free surface, reflecting the intensity of the secondary flow. It can be calculated using the eddy transport method, and the specific steps are as follows: First, the general form of the flow-directed vorticity transport equation on the horizontal plane can be written as: , in, Indicates the flow direction component of vorticity; This represents the production item, which depends on the imbalance between centrifugal acceleration and the lateral pressure gradient; Represents dissipation terms; Assuming a linear distribution of spanwise velocity, the streamwise component of vorticity is expressed as: , in, Indicates angular velocity, Indicates the lateral velocity at the free surface; Assuming a slow change in water depth, the flow-directed vorticity transport equations on the horizontal surface can be directly applied. Rewritten as: , in, The coefficient representing the production item; Denotes the von Kármán constant. ; Represents the coefficient of the dissipation term; The dimensionless transverse velocity at the free surface can be expressed as: .
[0030] In step S3, the expression for the angular momentum equation considering the density gradient is: , in, All of these represent empirical coefficients. Indicates friction parameters, This indicates the lateral coordinate pointing to the inside of the curve; Based on the assumption that the water depth changes slowly, the angular momentum equation considering the density gradient is modified as follows: .
[0031] In step S4, the convection-diffusion equation describes the temporal and spatial evolution of the vertical average concentration of tracers and substances moving with the flow. The original convection-diffusion equation is expressed as: , in, Indicates concentration; Represents a two-dimensional divergence operator; The convection term represents the mass flux. A two-dimensional gradient representing concentration; Indicates turbulent diffusion. , Indicates turbulent eddy viscosity. This represents the Schmitt number, which is typically taken as 1. Represents the anisotropic diffusivity tensor, used to explain dispersion in the longitudinal and transverse directions; Indicates the source term.
[0032] Convection-diffusion equations are generally based on the assumption of a constant passive scalar concentration in the vertical direction; however, this assumption is usually not valid. When simulating suspended sediment transport, its highest concentration often occurs near the riverbed bottom. This non-uniform vertical concentration distribution, combined with the flow-oriented helical flow, generates a net sediment flux in the lateral direction, which can be explained in the equations using appropriate dispersion terms. Given the vertical distribution of spanwise velocity and concentration distribution, dispersion stress is calculated by integrating the difference between the depth-dependent flux and its depth-average value. The convection-diffusion equations describing suspended sediment transport can be rewritten as follows: , in, This represents the vertical integral diffuse flux component in the x-direction. This represents the vertical integral diffuse flux component in the y-direction. Indicates erosion flux, Indicates deposition flux; , , in, This represents the difference between the vertical distribution of suspended sediment concentration C(z) and the depth-average concentration C. This represents the flow component of the dispersed stress in the local reference frame. This represents the spanwise component of the dispersed stress in the local reference frame; This indicates the settling velocity of sediment particles.
[0033] Assuming the longitudinal velocity component follows a power-law distribution in the vertical direction and the lateral velocity component follows a linear distribution with a mean of 0 in the vertical direction, and assuming the vertical concentration distribution of suspended matter to be a simplified Rouse distribution, it can be calculated using the following formula: , in, Represents the normalization coefficient. , Indicates the height of the bedrock; Represents the Routh number; Thus, dispersed stress and It can be represented as: , , in, Indicates the average velocity of the flow direction. This represents the average lateral flow velocity. These represent the simplification coefficients in the equation, have no physical meaning, and are expressed mathematically as follows: , ; S5. Based on the modified shallow water equation, the angular momentum equation considering the influence of density gradient, and coupled with the convection-diffusion equation considering the dispersed stress, a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model is constructed. In step S5, the expression for the two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model is: , , , ,, ; S6. Using satellite remote sensing topographic data or ADCP-measured water depth data as topographic boundary conditions, input the model into a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model to complete the mapping and mesh generation of the study area. Based on this computational domain, input the flow rate and water temperature data of the upstream tributaries, corresponding to the flow velocity and density parameters in the governing equations, respectively. Simultaneously, input the downstream ADCP-measured water level data, which, together with the initially set topographic boundary conditions, are converted into water depth, coordinates, and other governing equation parameters. Through model dimensionality reduction algorithms, the final output is the velocity field of the computational domain, thus obtaining the dimensionality-reduced simulation results that integrate measured data, achieving efficient dimensionality reduction from three-dimensional hydrodynamic structures to two-dimensional computation.
[0034] The following example uses a fixed-bed simulation at a confluence of the A River basin. Through two field monitoring operations in 2018, data from multiple river cross-sections were measured using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). The cross-section layout is shown in the diagram below. Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring range covers 7 km of the A River section and 4 km of the B Lake waterway connecting to the river. Detailed hydrological and topographic data of a tributary of the A River, a tributary of the B Lake and their confluence area were collected. The basic hydraulic parameters of the two working conditions are shown in Table 1.
[0035] Table 1 Basic hydraulic parameters under measured working conditions
[0036] To account for the contribution of bend circulation to the momentum equation, the dispersed stress corresponding to the curvature-induced secondary flow in the two-dimensional shallow water equation is represented by the dimensionless transverse velocity at the free surface and calculated using the vortex transport method. Furthermore, the contribution of the density gradient to angular momentum is introduced into the angular momentum conservation equation, and the interaction between the density gradient and bend circulation and its net effect on the momentum equation is considered through the relative directions of curvature and density gradient. Then, the convection-diffusion equations considering dispersed stress are coupled to construct a two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model. The specific derivation process of the governing equations and formulas involved is as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0037] A two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model considering the interaction of density gradient and bend circulation was applied to a fixed-bed simulation of a confluence zone in the A River basin, simulating two different operating conditions. In high-flow-rate condition 1, the flow rate of a tributary of the A River was much greater than that of a tributary of Lake B, and the average velocity of the tributary of the A River was almost four times that of the tributary of Lake B. At the confluence zone, the flows of the tributary of the A River and the tributary of Lake B deflected to the left and right, respectively. Due to the curvature of the streamlines, a spiral flow was generated in the transverse plane, consisting of two opposing rotating secondary flows. From the confluence apex, the two opposing rotating secondary flows influenced and interacted with each other. In the simulation considering only the curvature-induced secondary flow effect, the intensity of the clockwise rotating secondary flow on the side of the tributary of the A River was much greater than that on the side of the tributary of Lake B. Figure 3 However, field measurement data shows that the counterclockwise secondary flow formed on one side of a tributary of Lake B was not suppressed. This is because the water temperature on the side of a tributary of River A was lower than that on the side of a tributary of Lake B under this condition, forming a horizontal density gradient at the mixing interface and generating a density-driven counterclockwise transverse circulation. This helps to suppress the clockwise circulation on the side of a tributary of River A, while enhancing the counterclockwise circulation on the side of a tributary of Lake B, thus forming two opposing rotating circulations of similar intensity.

[0039] In low-flow condition 2, the flow rate of a tributary of River A is approximately twice that of a tributary of Lake B. The average flow velocities of the tributaries on the River A and Lake B sides are similar, and the water temperature on the Lake B side is lower than that on the River A side. Due to the reverse curvature of the incoming streams on both sides, two opposing spiral flows are formed at the initial confluence point, both with relatively weak intensity. Figure 5 After the confluence of the two streams, the clockwise rotating secondary flow originating from a tributary of River A gradually becomes dominant, stronger than the counterclockwise rotating secondary flow from a tributary of Lake B. This is mainly because the downstream streamline deflects to the left, enhancing the secondary flow of the tributary on the River A side and weakening the counterclockwise rotating secondary flow of the tributary on the Lake B side. The presence of a horizontal water temperature gradient further enhances the clockwise secondary flow of the tributary on the River A side, which is clearly visible at the confluence apex (see...). Figure 5 This is because the streamline curvature at the confluence vertices has a smaller impact, while the effect of the water temperature gradient is more significant.

(i.e., secondary flow intensity) effect comparison chart. The red dashed line in the chart represents the measured data results of ADCP, the green line represents only considering the influence of curvature-induced secondary flow, and the blue line represents considering the interaction of density gradient and bend circulation. Figure 6 (a) is a comparison of the simulated and measured results of the secondary flow intensity at the CYP2 cross section in condition 2. Figure 6 (b) is a comparison chart of the simulated and measured results of the secondary flow intensity at the CYP3 cross section in condition 2. Figure 6 (c) is a comparison chart of the simulated and measured results of the secondary flow intensity at the CYP4 cross section in working condition 2. Figure 6 (d) is a comparison chart of the simulated and measured results of the secondary flow intensity at the CYP5 cross section in working condition 2. Figure 6 (e) is a comparison chart of the simulated and measured results of the secondary flow intensity at the CYP6 cross section in working condition 2. Figure 6Figure (f) is a comparison of the simulated and measured results of the secondary flow intensity at the CYP7 cross section in condition 2. From... Figure 6 It can be seen that, compared with the two-dimensional model that only considers the influence of curvature-induced secondary flow, the two-dimensional planar hydrodynamic-mass transport finite element model that considers the interaction between density gradient and bend circulation is more consistent with the measured data results.
