The invention discloses an automatic division method for an element
mathematical model section of a water and
sediment habitat of a one-dimensional
river network, which comprises the following steps of determining a central point, a river channel left
bank boundary point and a river channel right
bank boundary point of a
river section along a river width direction from upstream to downstream, anddetermining a
river section central line, a left
bank line and a right bank line; then sequentially calculating cumulative distances lc, i from each central point Pc, i (xc, i, yc, i) to the first central point Pc, 1 (xc, 1, yc, 1) of the entrance position of the river reach along the
central line Lc from upstream to downstream; setting the total number Ns of sections needing to be defined in theriver reach, and calculating the distance between every two adjacent sections; determining vertical feet Ps and m coordinates (xs, m, ys, m) of the mth section Sm and the center line; determining a point
skew equation of a straight line where the section Sm is located; calculating plane coordinates of left and right bank end points of the section; and finally, performing interpolation calculationon the elevation zs, m, i, ys, m and i of each section point (xs, m, i) on the Sm section, calculating the distance dxi between each section point and the starting point of the left bank, and obtaining an
elevation data pair (dxi, zs, m and i). The invention solves the problem of automatically dividing the section of a one-dimensional
river network model.
