It is often difficult to calculate or predict siltation because of complex flow and sediment conditions and many other affecting factors. In this paper, the characteristics of flow movement in the approach channel (including its mouth) of the tidal lock are analyzed, the basic laws of sediment movement and siltation mechanism are investigated, the conditions for three types of siltation (circumfluence siltation, density flow siltation and slow flow siltation) are discussed, and corresponding calculating formulas are proposed. A practical example shows that the difference between measured and calculated results is small, indicating that the present calculating methods could be used in design and management of practical engineering projects.展开更多

When the wave propagation direction is in coincidence with the channel axis, the wave amplitude ratio will decrease with the increase of propagation distance. When the incident angle is 15 - 30 , there appears an area of larger wave amplitude ratio on the side slope facing the waves, but at the another side, the wave amplitude ratio is generally small, indicating that the channel has a shielding effect. When waves propagate across the channel perpendicularly, the wave amplitude ratio can be calculated with the shallow water coefficient.展开更多
