Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of debris flow prevention and control engineering technology, and in particular to a method and application for calculating the dynamic storage capacity of debris flow channels based on drone aerial photography. Background Technology
[0002] Towns and villages located in high mountain valleys are mostly built on debris flow or flash flood fans, and mountain roads and railways mostly pass through debris flow fans. Most rainfall in mountainous areas triggers flash floods, with only a small portion resulting in debris flows. The main difference between flash floods and debris flows lies in the amount of solid matter in the fluid: flash floods have a lower proportion of solid matter, generally not exceeding 20%, while debris flows can exceed 20%, sometimes reaching over 80%. If there is little or no solid matter within the watershed that can be transported by flash floods, debris flows are unlikely to form. Therefore, the amount of solid matter in a potential debris flow watershed, i.e., the solid matter source reserve, is an important parameter for assessing the possibility of debris flows. Solid matter source reserves are divided into two categories: static reserves and dynamic reserves. Static reserves refer to the total amount of solid matter that may participate in debris flow activity, including solid matter that may participate many years later; dynamic reserves refer to the amount of solid matter that can directly participate in the next rainfall-induced flash flood. Therefore, dynamic reserves are even more important, as they determine whether a debris flow will occur. Among these, gully sediment sources are the most common and primary debris flow sources. However, determining dynamic reserves is also a challenge: the amount of solid matter involved in debris flows varies under different rainfall conditions. Generally speaking, the greater the rainfall or the lower the rainfall frequency, the greater the flash flood flow, the more gully sediment sources can be activated and transported, and this can even expand gullies, erode the gully bank slopes, cause gully bank instability, and erode the gully banks to form more debris flow sources.
[0003] Currently, the estimation of static storage capacity of debris flows mainly involves roughly estimating the volume of unstable slopes within the watershed and calculating the total static storage capacity by combining the length, width, and depth of the source material in the channel. However, the estimation of dynamic storage capacity is even more coarse: some empirical methods consider all static storage sources in the channel as dynamic storage sources; others calculate dynamic storage capacity based on a certain proportion of the total static storage capacity, according to the static storage capacity of landslide-blocking sources, collapse-covered sources, and debris-colluvial sources (Qiao Jianping et al., 2012, Discussion on Statistical Methods for Dynamic Storage Capacity of Debris Flow Sources in Earthquake-Stricken Areas); or the corresponding dynamic storage capacity is calculated as a function of the static storage capacity of landslide bodies, channel sources, and slope sources, where the static storage capacity of channel sources and dynamic storage capacity have a power function relationship (Fang Qunsheng et al., 2016, Research on Calculation Methods of Flow Storage Capacity and Total Source Material in Debris Flow in Wenchuan Earthquake-Stricken Areas). These methods primarily rely on on-site investigations. However, when it is impossible to reach the debris flow formation area, especially after a strong earthquake that disrupts roads, it is difficult to obtain detailed information on the source material of the gully, making it impossible to estimate the dynamic reserves of the debris flow source. When remote sensing imagery is used to analyze the source material of a debris flow basin, the data accuracy is often insufficient; gully width, gully bank depth, and especially the source particle size cannot be measured, resulting in poor prediction accuracy.
[0004] The sediment source in gullies is the most important source of debris flows in valleys. Other sediment sources cannot enter the gully during flash floods and therefore cannot become debris flow sources. Thus, the calculation of gully sediment sources directly determines whether most debris flows will occur. Existing technical solutions do not consider the different sediment participation rates of gully sources under different flash flood flow conditions. Whether it is the empirical method of treating all static storage as dynamic storage or the calculation of dynamic storage based on static storage using a power function, neither can accurately calculate the dynamic storage of gully sources, resulting in poor prediction accuracy.
[0005] Chinese patent application document with publication number CN105868442A and publication date of August 17, 2016 discloses a method for calculating the dynamic reserves of debris flow sources under rainfall conditions. Based on extensive field surveys and debris flow source types, a geological model of source destruction and transformation is established. In-situ artificial rainfall experiments are conducted to reveal the correlation between slope destruction in the debris flow source area and the transformation into debris flow source scale under different rainfall conditions, thereby establishing a calculation model for debris flow sources under rainfall-induced conditions.
[0006] The patent application discloses a method for calculating the dynamic storage capacity of debris flow sources under rainfall conditions. This method can calculate the dynamic storage capacity of debris flows based on the cumulative rainfall, thus providing key parameters for debris flow exploration, design, and engineering prevention, and meeting the needs of disaster prevention projects. However, it relies on time-consuming and labor-intensive field investigations and artificial rainfall experiments to establish site-dependent empirical models. This results in low data acquisition efficiency and poor model universality, making it difficult to achieve rapid and accurate calculation of the dynamic storage capacity of debris flow channels. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In step S5, the dynamic storage capacity V of the material source is calculated and determined. i This refers to: When Z < 0.22, the dynamic reserves are 0. When Z ≥ 0.22, the dynamic reserves V1 of the first stage channel are calculated by Equation 2. V1=L1×W0×D s Formula 2; Where L1 is the segmented channel length, m; W0 is the channel bed width, m; Ds is the channel source thickness, m; for U-shaped valleys, D s =2m; During the V-shaped valley, D s =1m; When Z≥0.28 and W1≥1.25W0, the dynamic storage capacity V2 of the second-stage channel is calculated using Equation 3; when Z≥0.28 and W1<1.25W0, the dynamic storage capacity V2 of the second-stage channel is calculated using Equation 4.

[0046] This embodiment is a preferred implementation method. By using drone aerial photography to obtain the dynamic storage conditions of debris flow channels and to calculate the debris flow storage at different rainfall frequencies, the scale of debris flow can be quickly assessed. This method has an irreplaceable advantage in mountainous areas where roads are impassable, especially when it is impossible to reach the area on foot.
[0047] By studying the initiation process of sediment sources in gully debris flows, a quantitative method for predicting the dynamic reserves of sediment sources in gully debris flows under different rainfall frequencies was proposed, which greatly improved the prediction accuracy.
[0048] By studying the three stages of erosion initiation of debris flow channel sources in gullies, a three-stage model combining rainfall and three processes of channel sources was established, along with a dynamic storage calculation model for channel sources considering bank erosion. This model has better applicability for source prediction.
[0049] The principle of calculating the material source dynamic reserves of this invention is as follows: The initial stage of debris flow formation is initiated by flash floods, where high-intensity rainfall creates infiltration excess runoff, resulting in runoff and flash floods. The greater the flash flood flow, the larger the particle size of the source material initiating the flow, and the greater the amount of source material mobilized. The narrower the flow channel, the greater the flash flood flow per unit width, and the easier it is to mobilize the source material. The steeper the flow channel slope, the greater the amount of source material mobilized and the larger the particle size. The larger the catchment area of the watershed, the more runoff, the greater the flash flood flow, and the greater the source material mobilized. The shorter the watershed channels, the more concentrated the runoff process, the greater the flash flood flow, the greater the source material mobilized, and the greater the 24-hour rainfall, the more soil infiltration... The lower the permeability, the greater the excess flow, the larger the flash flood flow, and the easier it is for the sediment source to be activated; the greater the 1-hour rainfall, the greater the excess flow, the larger the flash flood flow, and the greater the dynamic sediment source; the lower the local average annual rainfall, the weaker the soil's adaptability to rainfall, the greater the excess flow, and the greater the activated sediment source; the smaller the local 10-minute rainfall variation coefficient, the more uniform the local short-duration rainfall, the weaker the soil's adaptability to rainfall, the greater the excess flow under heavy rainfall, and the greater the dynamic sediment source; the smaller the particle size of the coarsening layer on the ditch bed surface, the easier it is to be activated, and the greater the activated sediment source. Therefore, taking into account these factors and different frequencies of 24-hour and 1-hour rainfall, the present invention proposes a method for calculating the dynamic sediment source of ditches.
[0050] The principle of superimposing the three-stage channel sediment source and bank slope sediment source in this invention is as follows: Under certain hydrodynamic conditions and high-flow flash floods induced by rainfall, the gully sections most conducive to initiation of debris flow are the sections with favorable conditions such as smaller surface coarsening layer particle size, narrow gully bed, and large longitudinal slope.
[0051] The sediment source in each section of a gully may consist of three parts: first, sediment source within the gully bed; second, sediment source from both sides or one side of the gully banks; and third, colluvial deposits on one side of the bank. The sediment source within the gully bed is activated first. With subsequent rainfall and increased flash flood flow, it gradually erodes to both sides or one side, activating the sediment source from the gully banks. Finally, under conditions of very high rainfall and flash flood flow, it gradually erodes to one side, activating the colluvial deposits on the bank. Therefore, the judgment index Z is used to determine the activation of sediment source at each stage. In the first-stage activation stage, the dynamic storage capacity of the gully sediment source is only the sediment source within the gully bed, with moderate rainfall and flash flood flow. In the second-stage activation stage, the dynamic storage capacity of the gully sediment source is the sum of the sediment source within the gully bed and the sediment source from the gully banks, with relatively high rainfall and flash flood flow. In the third-stage activation stage, the dynamic storage capacity of the gully sediment source is the sum of the sediment source within the gully bed and even more sediment source from the gully banks, with very high rainfall and flash flood flow. The dynamic storage capacity V... i It is the sum of the material source in the gully bed, the material source along the entire gully bank, and the material source on the bank slope. At this time, all the material sources in this section of the gully have been activated, and the rainfall and flash flood flow are at their maximum.
[0052] Application examples of this invention are as follows: In 2024, a debris flow occurred in Tianbeizigou, Hanyuan County, Sichuan Province; in 2025, a debris flow occurred in Baojiagou, Hanyuan County; in 2024, a debris flow occurred in Ridigou, Kangding County; and in 2025, a debris flow occurred in Ziergou, Kangding County. Aerial photography was conducted on the above four gullies using drones, and the results of the dynamic storage capacity calculations of debris flow sources in the gullies for 100-year, 50-year, and 20-year return periods were obtained. The results are shown in Table 2, which is a table of examples of gully source calculations based on drone aerial photography.

[0054] As shown in Table 2, the basic data of the debris flow basin obtained by drone aerial photography, combined with rainfall frequency and hydrological manual, can accurately calculate the material source and dynamic storage of channels at different frequencies in the debris flow basin, thus providing an important basis for assessing the occurrence and hazard level of debris flows.
