This paper develops a one-dimensional （l-D） mathematical model for flood routing in the river network Of the Jingjiang River and Dongting Lake using the explicit finite volume method. Based on observed data during the flood periods in 1996 and 1998, the model was calibrated and validated, and the results show that the model is effective and has high accuracy. In addition, the one-dimensional mathematical model for the river network and the horizontal two-dimensional （2-D） mathematical model for the Jingjiang flood diversion area were coupled to simulate the flood process in the Jingjiang River, Dongting Lake, and the Jingjiang flood diversion area. The calculated results of the coupled model are consistent with the practical processes. Meanwhile, the results show that the flood diversion has significant effects on the decrease of the peak water level at the Shashi and Chenjiawan hydrological stations near the flood diversion gates, and the effect is more obvious in the downstream than in the upstream.展开更多

To better handle irregular boundaries and keep the computation cost well in a reasonable limit, unstructured grids of moderate scale are used. In addition, a dynamic boundary tracking method is proposed to simulate variable flow domains at different floods, especially, when the moderate scale gird can not describe flows in narrow river-network channels at low water levels. The t9 semi-implicit method and the Eulerian-Lagrangian Method （ELM） are adopted, which make the model unconditionally stable with respect to the gravity wave speed and Courant number restrictions. Properties and efficiency of the model are discussed, and it is concluded that the new model is robust and efficient enough for the simulation of a big, complex water system. Validation tests show that the simulation results agree well with field data. It takes about 0.96 h to complete the computation of a 76 d flood, which indicates that the model is efficient enough for engineering applications.展开更多

In the case of crush bedrock, there has been no propercontrol equation to describe bed stability, which leads to difficulty in calculation of the beddeformation with conventional methods. The data from field survey were used to give thee-rosion-resisting capability with an appropriate coefficient. After the determination oflongitudinal distribution expressed by polynomial regression and transversal distribution expressedby normal distribution function, the plane distribution of erosion-resisting coefficient in a crushbedrock river was obtained. With the computational results from a 2-D horizontal flow mathematicalmodel, the erosion-resisting coefficient and controlling condition of local stability were employedto compute the values of bed deformation when riverbed is stable. The above method was applied in acase study, and the computational results of flow and bed deformations are in good a-greement withphysical model test data.展开更多

In this study, a numerical model for the radionuclide transport in the aquatic environment is built, based on the hydrodynamic equations, including the complete set of Saint-Venant equations, the sediment transport equations, with consideration of several different particle sizes and the deposition and erosion of the suspended sediments, and the radionuclide transport equations The exchanges of radionuclides between water, suspended matter and bed sediments are described in terms of kinetic transfer coe- fficients. The model is used to simulate the transport of the radionuclides discharged from a planned nuclear power plant project to be sited along the lower Yangtze River. From the model results, one may see the detailed temporal-spatial evolution of the radio- nuclide contamination in the solution, in the suspended matter and in the bed sediments. The model can be used as a basic tool for studying the environmental impacts of the liquid discharges from nuclear facilities on a river system.展开更多
