[0077] The low water measuring flume is generally built downstream of the hydrological station basic section or flow section.

In the case of meeting the low water flow test needs, the water level range can be appropriately reduced in specific design.

[0081] (2) Design roughness, slope and flow velocity

[0082] The low water flow tank is generally recommended to be poured with concrete, and the inside of the tank body is smooth. The roughness is recommended to be selected from 0.014 to 0.016; the slope should be considered to have appropriate water depth and flow velocity, which is convenient for manual wading flow measurement by using a current meter, and is generally 0.3‰ to 1‰. The design flow velocity is controlled at 0.1 to 1.0 m / s. Embodiment

[0083] As shown in Figures 1 to 9 , a shape of a low water flow tank, the low water flow tank is composed of a water inlet gradual change section, a stable flow measurement section and a water outlet energy dissipation section from upstream to downstream. The shape includes a rectangular tank 1, a trapezoidal tank 2 and a complex combined tank 3; the rectangular tank 1 is set as a flow tank with a rectangular cross-sectional shape in the stable flow measurement section, the trapezoidal tank 2 is set as a flow tank with a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in the stable flow measurement section, and the complex combined tank 3 is set as a flow tank with a cross-sectional shape composed of two or more shapes in the stable flow measurement section.

[0084] The low water flow tank is composed of an upper section, a middle section and a lower section, wherein the upper section is the water inlet gradual change section, the middle section is the stable flow measurement section, and the lower section is the water outlet energy dissipation section. The water inlet gradual change section is a gradual contraction section for collecting low dry flow, the upper part is connected with the upstream of the natural river, and the lower part is connected with the stable flow measurement section. The stable flow measurement section is a straight and uniform section for forming stable flow for monitoring flow, the upper part is connected with the water inlet gradual change section, and the lower part is connected with the water outlet energy dissipation section. The water outlet energy dissipation section is a scattered water section for water recession and considering energy dissipation, the upper part is connected with the stable flow measurement section, and the lower part is connected with the downstream natural river.

[0085] Low-water flumes are commonly classified into three types based on the cross-sectional shape of their stable flow measurement section: rectangular, trapezoidal, and combined types. To facilitate the installation of velocity measuring plumb lines, "V"-shaped and "U"-shaped flumes are generally not recommended. Rectangular flume type 1 refers to a flume with a rectangular cross-sectional shape for its stable flow measurement section; this is the most common type and is generally suitable for rivers with small flow variations during low water periods. Trapezoidal flume type 2 refers to a flume with a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape for its stable flow measurement section; this is generally suitable for rivers with relatively large flow variations. Combined flume type 3 refers to a flume with a stable flow measurement section composed of two or more shapes; this is generally suitable for rivers with large flow variations where trapezoidal flume type 2 cannot meet the flow monitoring needs, or where there are graded control requirements for flow monitoring. Example

[0086] like Figures 1 to 29 As shown, a low-water flow measurement channel structure includes a base plate 5, wing walls 4, toothed walls 6, energy dissipation body 7, a depth gauge, and an operating platform. The base plate 5 is located at the bottom of the low-water flow measurement channel and is used to support the water flow. The wing walls 4 are located above the base plate 5 and connected to it. From upstream to downstream, they consist of three parts: an inlet transition section, a stable flow measurement section, and an outlet energy dissipation section, and are cast as a whole. The toothed walls 6 are embedded in the riverbed and constructed around the low-water flow measurement channel, with their tops connected to the base plate 5. The energy dissipation body 7 is cast together with the base plate 5. The depth gauge is set at the flow monitoring section of the stable flow measurement section, and the operating platform is located on the base plate 5 outside the monitoring section.

[0087] like Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the planar shape of the inlet transition section of the wing wall 4 is either an inverted V-shape or a straight line, connected to the stable flow measurement section by an arc. The arc angle θ is 90° for the straight line type and generally less than 90° for the inverted V-shape type. The upstream of the stable flow measurement section of the wing wall 4 is connected to the wing wall 4 of the inlet transition section, and its height is slightly lower than that of the wing wall 4 of the inlet transition section according to the gradient. The downstream of the wing wall 4 is connected to the wing wall 4 of the outlet energy dissipation section. The wing walls 4 on both sides of the stable flow measurement section of the wing wall 4 are arranged along the flow direction, symmetrically parallel on both sides. The planar shape of the outlet energy dissipation section of the wing wall 4 is either a V-shape or a straight line type. The inclination angle α is 0° for the straight line type and less than or equal to 10° for the V-shape type. The top elevation gradually decreases from upstream to downstream, until it is flush with the bottom plate 5 at the tail of the outlet energy dissipation section.

[0088] Preferably, the wing wall 4 adopts a practical weir type or a rectangular cross-section type. The top elevation of the wing wall 4 is determined by adding an appropriate wave height to the height calculated based on the maximum design flow rate trial and error. The wave height is 3 to 5 cm. The radius R of the arc of the wing wall 4 is set to 0.5 to 1.0 times the top width of the stable flow measurement section. It adopts a concrete reinforcement design. The thickness of the wing wall 4 is between 20 and 40 cm.

[0089] The structural design of the wing wall 4 is as follows:Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the wing wall 4 is located above and connected with the bottom plate 5, and is composed of a water inlet gradual change section, a stable flow measuring section and a water outlet energy dissipation section from upstream to downstream, and the whole is poured as a whole. The wing wall 4 design includes selection of cross-sectional type, determination of thickness, segmented layout of plane type, determination of top elevation, circular arc radius R, circular arc angle θ and inclination angle α. The cross-sectional type generally adopts a practical weir type, and when the conditions are not available, a rectangular cross-sectional type can be adopted. The top elevation is determined according to the trial and error calculation height of the maximum flow plus a proper wave height, and the wave height is recommended to be 3-5 cm. The circular arc radius R and the arc of the wing wall 4 should be determined comprehensively according to the straightness of the river section, the river width and the flow conditions, and the circular arc radius R is generally recommended to be 0.5-1.0 times of the top width of the stable flow measuring section. Considering the resistance to water flow impact, it is recommended to adopt a reinforced concrete design, and the thickness is between 20-40 cm.

[0090] (1) Water inlet gradual change section: The wing wall 4 of the water inlet gradual change section mainly guides the water flow to enter the stable flow measuring section smoothly and uniformly. According to the test control conditions, the plane type is generally selected as "inverted eight" type, and "one word" type is adopted when the near flow speed is small or the river section length is limited. The circular arc is connected with the stable flow measuring section, and the circular arc angle θ is determined according to the plane type, which is 90° for "one word" type and generally less than 90° for "inverted eight" type. The top elevation should ensure that the water flow in the design flow range enters the tank, and the water surface slope is appropriately higher than that of the stable flow measuring section.

[0091] (2) Stable flow measuring section: The upstream wing wall 4 of the stable flow measuring section is connected with the wing wall 4 of the water inlet gradual change section, and the height is slightly lower than that of the wing wall 4 of the water inlet gradual change section according to the slope (the top height of the wing wall 4 at the connection is equal); the downstream wing wall 4 is connected with the wing wall 4 of the water outlet energy dissipation section. The wing walls 4 on both sides of the stable flow measuring section are arranged along the flow direction, and are symmetrical and parallel on both sides. The top elevation is determined comprehensively according to the allowable submerged elevation of the submerged influence investigation and analysis and the flow measurement requirements, and is reduced along the river according to the design slope.

[0092] (3) Water outlet energy dissipation section: The water outlet energy dissipation section not only prevents the water flow from scouring the tail of the low water measuring flow tank and its downstream, but also prevents the downstream river section of the low water measuring flow tank from forming backwater or the low water measuring flow tank from forming submerged flow. The plane type is generally selected as "eight" type or straight line type. The inclination angle α should be selected in combination with the plane type, and the downstream anti-scouring requirement should be fully considered, and it is recommended to be 0-10°, which is 0° for straight line type and less than or equal to 10° for "eight" type.

The water-inlet gradual section, the stable measuring section and the water-outlet energy dissipation section are generally arc-connected between each section, as shown in Figures 14 to 16

[0097] (4) Cross-section design:

[0098] ① Minimum water depth: the flow measurement in the flume is controlled by using the flowmeter method as the basic design condition, and the minimum water depth is determined according to the minimum water depth requirement of the current small propeller flowmeter and rotating cup flowmeter.

[0101] As shown in Figures 20 to 21 , a low water measuring flume structure, the tooth wall 6 when the river is narrow, the bottom plate 5 is integrally poured along the river bottom, only the tooth wall 6 is built on the upstream water surface and the downstream energy dissipation section; when the river is wide, the bottom plate 5 cannot be integrally poured along the river bottom, the tooth wall 6 needs to be built around the bottom of the measuring flume; the thickness of the tooth wall 6 is 20-40 cm, and the buried depth is determined according to the riverbed scouring investigation results and the riverbed composition.

[0102] The following factors should be considered in the structure design of the tooth wall 6:

[0103] (1) Tooth wall 6 layout: ① When the river is narrow, the bottom plate 5 is integrally poured along the river bottom, only the tooth wall 6 can be built on the upstream water surface and the downstream energy dissipation section, as shown in Figure 20 ② When the river is wide, the bottom plate 5 cannot be integrally poured along the river bottom, the tooth wall 6 needs to be built around the bottom of the measuring flume, as shown in Figure 21 .

[0104] (2) Tooth wall 6 thickness and buried depth: combined with the need for flume body erosion prevention and water seepage prevention, the thickness is generally recommended to be 20-40 cm, and the buried depth is determined according to the riverbed scouring investigation results and the riverbed composition. The design depth must meet the following requirements: ① The design depth of the tooth wall 6 should be able to prevent the erosion of the low water measuring flume by the water flow; ② The tooth wall 6 should be able to avoid water seepage from the bottom of the measuring flume to the downstream of the measuring flume (play a water retaining role); ③ The measuring flume must be stable and anti-skid. For the anti-skid design of the tooth wall 6, it is designed during construction. The design of this measuring flume only designs the layout, buried depth and thickness of the tooth wall 6.

[0105] ​In the design of the specific tooth wall 6, if the sand and stone in the river bottom is accumulated shallowly and can be connected with the bedrock, the tooth wall 6 should be connected with the bedrock as much as possible. If the alluvium is thick and it is difficult to be connected with the bedrock, the depth of scour should be controlled by analyzing the maximum flood in the history to ensure the safety and stability of the measuring flume, and the analysis and calculation method can refer to the calculation method of the scour of the railway bridge.

[0107] The energy dissipater 7 is designed according to the conditions of the river channel, and generally adopts a ladder step or rivet type, and when the downstream anti-scour requirement is not high, a slope type can be adopted. The two energy dissipation forms are shown in Figures 22 to 25 and Figures 26 to 29 .
