Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of debris flow disaster prevention and control, and in particular to a method for calculating debris flow velocity based on the critical conditions for the initiation of large particles. Background Technology
[0002] Debris flows are geological hazards that can easily cause enormous damage, characterized by their numerous locations, wide distribution, large scale, and severe consequences. In areas of intense tectonic activity, the micro-topography at the abrupt narrowing of debris flow channels is becoming increasingly common, and the phenomenon of large particles blocking debris flow channels is significant. Due to their unique geomorphological features, these abrupt narrowing points of channels easily lead to localized fluid confinement and sediment accumulation, resulting in a blockage effect.
[0003] Large particles at abrupt gully narrowing points can easily clog the gully, increasing the risk of debris flow blockage and collapse, and potentially causing more severe disasters. Large particles in debris flows readily form blockages at gully narrowing points. Since these large particles occupy the majority of the gully cross-section, when the amount of large particles carried by the upstream debris flow significantly increases, the debris flow blocks the gully cross-section and gradually accumulates behind boulders. As the downstream debris flow continues to accumulate, the mud level gradually rises, leading to a continuous increase in pressure on the large particles. While there is a flow attenuation process when the drag force has not reached the critical condition for large particle activation, when the height of the downstream debris flow exceeds the height of the blockage dams on both sides, the debris flow overflows along the flow paths on both sides. The strong erosive force creates gullies, causing the banks to collapse and ultimately breach. When the drag force reaches the critical condition for large particle activation, the large particles and their subsequent deposits participate in the debris flow movement, resulting in a sudden increase in the debris flow rate. Therefore, how to determine the initiation of large particles in response to the phenomenon of large particle blockage at the sudden narrowing of gullies significantly amplifying debris flow is of great significance for improving the predictability and reliability of debris flow disaster identification.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a method for calculating debris flow velocity based on the critical condition for large particle initiation. The method includes the following steps:
[0042] Set up a water tank experimental device and place large particles in the water tank experimental device;
[0043] A medium flow is applied to the water tank experimental device, thereby forming a stable medium flow field inside the water tank experimental device;
[0044] Large particulate materials are tested to obtain their motion and structural parameters.
[0045] Based on the motion parameters of large particles, determine the characteristic parameters of the forces acting on the large particles during their motion.
[0046] The starting velocity of large particles is determined based on the critical starting conditions, force characteristic parameters, and structural parameters.
[0047] Compared to measuring the initiation state of large particles at the site of a debris flow, this method, by constructing a flume experimental device and altering the internal medium flow environment, can reproduce the movement of large particles with the debris flow in a real debris flow scenario to the greatest extent possible. This method can accurately simulate and predict the initiation state of large particles in channels under different geographical conditions, improving the accuracy and reliability of identifying sudden amplification of debris flow caused by blockage of large particles at channel narrowing points.
[0048] Furthermore, a water tank experimental setup was constructed, and large particles of material were placed within the setup, specifically:
[0049] Set up an inclined water tank and flow rate regulating equipment, and place large particles of material on the surface of the water tank; the large particles of material are stones that meet the preset particle size conditions; the stones can be, but are not limited to, gravel or boulders with a particle size greater than or equal to 1m; the abrupt narrowing of the channel in the area where the debris flow occurs refers to the place where the debris flow channel shrinks or narrows sharply at a certain point or within a certain distance, and the above place can be called a bottleneck or narrow channel.
[0050] The water tank has a constant width and a constant depth, and the tilt angle of the water tank can be adjusted; the flow rate adjustment device can create a simulated medium flow environment in the water tank.
[0051] Furthermore, the flow rate regulating device includes several media output terminals arranged in an array, each media output terminal being equipped with a speed regulating pump and a valve;
[0052] Speed-regulating pumps are used to control the flow rate and / or velocity at the medium output end; valves are used to control whether or not the medium is output at the medium output end.
[0053] Please see Figure 2 To simulate and reproduce debris flow scenarios, a flume experimental setup was constructed. This setup simulates debris flow scenarios under different conditions, such as varying slopes and flow velocities / flow rates, meeting the needs for analyzing diverse debris flow behavior. Different types of sensors were also installed on the flume to collect real-time motion and image data of the debris flow process during operation. Each operation of the flume was treated as an independent experiment. Analyzing the motion and image data during each operation helps to accurately identify the dynamic state of debris flow.
[0054] Specifically, an inclined water tank and flow rate regulating device are first set up. Large particles of material are placed on the surface of the water tank. The water tank may include a hollow rectangular transparent tank with openings at both ends, and a slope adjustment mechanism set at the bottom of the tank. The surface of the tank is covered with large particles of material. The slope adjustment mechanism may include, but is not limited to, retractable support frames set at both ends of the bottom of the tank. By changing the extension length of the retractable support frames, the inclination angle of the tank can be changed. For example, the inclination angle of the tank can be adjusted to different angle values such as 7°, 10°, and 13°. The water tank has a constant width and a constant depth to simulate the channel structure of debris flow sliding in a debris flow scenario.
[0055] The flow rate regulating device is used to create a simulated media flow environment inside the tank. By supplying a media solution to a corresponding location within the tank (e.g., the top), the solution flows downwards along the tank's slope, creating a media flow. Large particles placed on the tank surface slide under the influence of this flow, simulating a mudflow. The media solution can be clear water or an aqueous solution containing a small amount of sediment. To ensure the flow rate regulating device provides media flows with varying motion states, it includes several media output terminals arranged in an array. Each output terminal is equipped with a speed-regulating pump and a valve, allowing it to output media solution to a corresponding location within the tank. The speed-regulating pump controls the flow rate and / or velocity at the output terminals; the valve controls whether media is output. By changing the operating states of the pump and valve, the dynamic output of the media solution at each output terminal can be altered, ultimately creating a suitable and controllable media flow environment within the tank.
[0056] Furthermore, a medium flow is applied to the water tank experimental device, thereby forming a stable medium flow field inside the water tank experimental device, specifically as follows:
[0057] The flow rate regulation device controls the flow rate and / or velocity of the medium to different areas inside the water tank, while simultaneously collecting real-time data on the medium flow inside the water tank.
[0058] Based on the actual flow of the medium, change the output flow rate and / or output velocity of the medium from the flow rate regulating device until a stable medium flow field is formed inside the water tank.
[0059] Furthermore, the actual flow of the medium inside the water tank was collected, specifically as follows:
[0060] The flow velocity and / or flow rate of the medium at different locations inside the water tank are collected by a flow velocity sensor installed inside the water tank, which serves as the real-time condition of the medium flow inside the water tank; wherein, the flow velocity sensor includes at least one of ultrasonic Doppler flow meter, electromagnetic flow meter, and Pitot tube.
[0061] Furthermore, based on the actual medium flow conditions, the medium output flow rate and / or medium output velocity of the flow rate regulating device are changed until a stable medium flow field is formed inside the water tank, specifically as follows:
[0062] By comparing the flow velocity and / or flow rate of the medium at different locations inside the water tank, the difference in flow velocity and / or flow rate between any two adjacent locations inside the water tank can be obtained.
[0063] Based on the difference in medium flow velocity and / or the difference in medium flow rate, determine whether a stable medium flow field has been formed inside the water tank; if so, keep the medium output flow rate and / or medium output velocity of the flow rate regulating device unchanged; if not, change the medium output flow rate and / or medium output velocity of the flow rate regulating device until a stable medium flow field is formed inside the water tank.
[0064] Several flow velocity sensors are installed inside the water tank to detect and collect the medium flow velocity and / or flow rate at different locations within the tank, thereby enabling accurate and comprehensive monitoring of the medium flow state during the formation of the medium flow environment within the tank. To meet the different requirements for medium flow detection accuracy inside the tank, the flow velocity sensors include at least one of ultrasonic Doppler flow meters, electromagnetic flow meters, and Pitot tubes, thus providing reliable data for analyzing the medium flow environment inside the tank.
[0065] To simulate a media flow environment within the tank that closely resembles a real debris flow scenario, it is crucial to ensure that the media flow environment inside the tank remains stable and free from abrupt changes. Therefore, the flow velocity and / or flow rate at different locations within the tank are compared. Based on the flow velocity and / or flow rate at all locations within the tank, a global spatial distribution of flow velocity and / or flow rate is generated within the tank. Further analysis of this flow velocity and / or flow rate distribution yields the difference in flow velocity and / or flow rate between any two adjacent locations within the tank. If the difference in the flow velocity of the aforementioned medium is less than the first preset difference and / or the difference in the flow rate of the aforementioned medium is less than the second preset difference, it is determined that a stable medium flow field has been formed inside the water tank. At this time, the output flow rate and / or output velocity of the medium of the flow rate adjustment device are kept constant. If the difference in the flow velocity of the aforementioned medium is greater than or equal to the first preset difference and / or the difference in the flow rate of the aforementioned medium is greater than or equal to the second preset difference, it is determined that a stable medium flow field has not been formed inside the water tank. At this time, the output flow rate and / or output velocity of the medium of the flow rate adjustment device are changed until a stable medium flow field is formed inside the water tank. This provides a basis for conducting multiple repeatable experiments in a stable and controllable debris flow simulation scenario in the water tank experimental device.
[0066] Furthermore, the large particles were analyzed to obtain their motion and structural parameters, specifically:
[0067] A camera was placed near the water tank in the water tank experimental device to capture dynamic images of debris flow inside the water tank. The dynamic images of debris flow were analyzed to obtain the motion parameters and structural parameters of large particles. Among them, the motion parameters include the trajectory and velocity of the large particles; the structural parameters include the height of the large particles and the critical depth of the debris flow when the large particles cause blockage and collapse.
[0068] Considering the complex motion state of the debris flow simulated by the flume experimental device during the experiment, a camera was set up near the flume of the experimental device to capture dynamic images of the debris flow inside the flume in order to accurately identify the entire debris flow process. The dynamic images of the debris flow were analyzed to obtain motion parameters such as the trajectory and velocity of large particles, as well as structural parameters such as the height of large particles and the critical depth of the debris flow when large particles cause blockage and collapse. This provides a reliable and sufficient basis for subsequent determination of the initiation state of large particles using empirical formulas.
[0069] Furthermore, based on the motion parameters of the large particles, the characteristic parameters of the forces acting on the large particles during their motion are determined, specifically:
[0070] Based on the trajectory and speed of the large particles, the drag force coefficient and friction coefficient during the movement of the large particles are determined and used as characteristic parameters of the force.
[0071] Furthermore, based on the critical initiation conditions, force characteristic parameters, and structural parameters of large particles, the initiation flow velocity of large particles is determined, specifically as follows:
[0072] Based on the critical condition for the initiation of large particles, a force balance model for large particle materials is determined; whereby the critical condition for the initiation of large particles refers to the drag force on the large particle material being equal to the friction force on the large particle material.
[0073] Based on the force balance model, force characteristic parameters, and structural parameters, the initiation velocity of large particles is determined.
[0074] Furthermore, based on the force balance model, force characteristic parameters, and structural parameters, the initiation velocity of large particulate materials is determined, specifically as follows:
[0075] Substituting the drag coefficient, friction coefficient, and structural parameters into the force balance model, the initiation velocity of large particles is obtained; where the initiation velocity refers to the difference between the debris flow velocity and the velocity of the large particles.
[0076] Please see Figure 3 The physical model of the motion of large particles during debris flow needs to consider the gravity F acting on the large particles. G buoyancy F LDragging force F D Friction force F μ The combined effect. Among them,
[0077] The gravity F of large particles G =m s g,m s =ρ b B 2 h;
[0078] In the above formula, m s The value represents the mass of the large particles, and g represents the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m / s². 2 , ρ b B represents the density of the large particles, B represents the length of the large particles in the flow direction, and h represents the height of the large particles.
[0079] The buoyancy force F on large particles L =ρ c gV L V L =B 2 H;
[0080] In the above formula, ρ c V represents the unit weight of a debris flow. L H represents the volume of large particles immersed in the mudflow slurry, and H represents the critical depth of the mudflow when large particles cause blockage and collapse.
[0081] The drag force F on large particles D =ρ c HBC d (u) c -u b ) 2 u i = u c -u b ;
[0082] In the above formula, u c u represents the velocity of the debris flow. b u represents the velocity of large particles. i C represents the initiation velocity of large particulate materials. d This represents the drag coefficient.
[0083] Large particles are affected by buoyancy and debris flow liquefaction, and are also subject to frictional forces; among these, the frictional force F experienced by the large particles is... μ =μ(m s gcosθ-ρ c gV L );
[0084] In the above formula, μ represents the friction coefficient, and θ represents the inclination angle of the tank, that is, the longitudinal slope of the channel inside the tank.
[0085] Multiple experiments were conducted using a water tank experimental setup to obtain the friction coefficient μ and the drag coefficient C. d Based on empirical calculations, the drag coefficient of the friction coefficient μ can take values that are, but are not limited to, 0.7. d The value of can be, but is not limited to, 0.65. Based on the critical condition for the large particle's initiation—that the drag force on the large particle is equal to the frictional force on the large particle—a force balance model for the large particle is determined, and this is combined with the friction coefficient μ and the drag coefficient C. d Based on empirical calculations, the starting flow velocity u of large particles was obtained. i ,
[0086] u i = .
[0087] In practical operation, this invention utilizes two real-world conditions to determine the initiation flow rate u of the aforementioned large particulate materials. i The calculation formula is verified as follows:
[0088] Example 1 corresponds to a gully mouth, located 6.1 km upstream. The main gully is 21.96 km long, with a drainage area of 65.55 km². 2 The valley has an average longitudinal slope of 131.9‰, narrow channels, numerous waterfalls and steep shoals, and well-developed gullies, with a maximum relative elevation difference of 3042m. At the point of large-particle blockage, the longitudinal slope of the gully is 13°, and the debris flow unit weight is 1800 kg / m³. 3 The large particles (basalt) in the channel have dimensions of 7.2 m × 6.1 m × 8.5 m, meaning the size B of the large particles in the flow direction is 7.2 m. Historical monitoring data shows that the flow velocity at the blockage point of the large particles is approximately 7.4 m / s. Substituting this data into the initial initiation velocity u of the large particles... i The calculation formula includes the relevant parameters for starting large particle materials, as shown in Table 1 below.
[0089] Table 1
[0090] Longitudinal slope gradient of the gully (°) Dimensions of large particles in the flow direction (m) Channel width (m) <![CDATA[Basalt density (kg / m 3 )]]> <![CDATA[Debris flow density (kg / m 3 )]]> Debris flow velocity (m / s) Starting flow rate (m / s) 13 7.2 8.1 3300 1800 7.4 7.7
[0091] As shown in Table 1 above, the starting velocity of the large particles is 7.7 m / s, while the actual velocity at this cross-section is approximately 7.4 m / s. Therefore, the large particles did not initiate the flow, and the calculated result is consistent with reality.
[0092] Example 2 corresponds to a tributary ditch. Within this ditch is a large rock, measuring 2 m × 1.8 m × 1.2 m, composed of Middle to Late Proterozoic granite. The rock mass is intact, and the vegetation on the lower sections of both banks of the ditch has been completely eroded. According to the on-site investigation, a rock was originally located approximately 150 m upstream and was moved to another location by a debris flow. Meanwhile, the surfaces of other large rocks in the ditch all exhibit obvious moss, proving that the large rocks were not moved by the debris flow. However, the absence of moss on the surface of this particular large rock further confirms that it was carried there by the debris flow.
[0093] The bulk density of the debris flow in the tributary is 1722 kg / m³. 3 The longitudinal slope of the channel at the original location of the large particles is approximately 6.3°, the flow velocity at the debris flow cross-section of the blockage point is approximately 3.20 m / s, and the size of the large particles in the flow direction is 1.8 m. Substituting these data into the initiation velocity u of the large particle material mentioned earlier... i The calculation formula is as follows. The relevant parameters for starting up this large particle material are shown in Table 2 below.
[0094] Table 2
[0095] Longitudinal slope gradient of the gully (°) Dimensions of large particles in the flow direction (m) Channel width (m) <![CDATA[Granite density (kg / m 3 )]]> <![CDATA[Unit weight of debris flow (kg / m 3 )]]> Debris flow velocity (m / s) Starting flow rate (m / s) 6.3 1.8 4.3 2600 1722 3.2 3.0
[0096] As shown in Table 2 above, the initiation velocity of the large particles in this tributary is 3.0 m / s, while the velocity at this cross-section is approximately 3.2 m / s. Therefore, the large particles in this tributary have been initiated, and the calculation results are consistent with reality.
