Influence of bed elevation discordance on flow patterns and head losses in an open-channel confluence

Confluences play a major role in the dynamics of networks of natural and man-made open channels, and field measurements on river confluences reveal that discordance in bed elevation is common.Studies of schematized confluences with a step at the interface between the tributary and the main channel bed reveal that bed elevation discordance is an important additional control for the confluence hydrodynamics.This study aimed to improve understanding of the influence of bed elevation discordance on the flow patterns and head losses in a right-angled confluence of an open channel with rectangular cross-sections.A large eddy simulation (LES)-based numerical model was set up and validated with experiments by others.Four configurations with different bed discordance ratios were investigated.The results confirm that, with increasing bed elevation discordance, the tributary streamlines at the confluence interface deviate less from the geometrical confluence angle, the extent of the recirculation zone (RZ) gets smaller, the ratio of the water depth upstream to that downstream of the confluence decreases, and the water level depression reduces.The bed elevation discordance also leads to the development of a large-scale structure in the lee of the step.Despite the appearance of the large-scale structure, the reduced extent of the RZ and associated changes in flow deflection/contraction reduce total head losses experienced by the main channel with an increase of the bed discordance ratio.It turns out that bed elevation discordance converts the lateral momentum from the tributary to streamwise momentum in the main channel more efficiently.

冲积性弯曲河道造床过程及演变机制

冲积性弯曲河道独特的几何边界特征,使得弯曲河道的水沙运动特性和河床演变特性与其他类型河道显著不同。为模拟自然条件下的冲积性弯曲河道河床冲淤演变特性,采用自然模型法的理念在试验水槽中塑造出近似的弯曲河道,探究不同水沙条件对弯曲河道形成和发育过程的影响。试验表明:进口水沙循环周期长、来水来沙强度较小时,弯曲河道达到动态平衡状态所需的时间相对较短,河道形成稳定河宽也较小。弯曲河道在形成和发育过程中,河道的形态要素主要由水沙作用条件决定,在一定变化范围内,当水沙作用循环变换周期较短、来流流量较小、含沙量较大时,有利于形成弯曲度较大的河道;而当来流量较大、水位漫滩冲刷浅滩时,所塑造的弯曲河道会偏向于宽浅形断面形态。在河道弯曲程度和河道横断面形态的调整中,水沙作用变化对横断面形态塑造的作用相对较强。

Hall Current Effects on Unsteady MHD Flow in a Rotating Parallel Plate Channel Bound-ed by Porous Bed on the Lower Half—Darcy Lapwood Model

We discussed the unsteady flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in a rotating parallel plate channel bounded on one side by a porous bed under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field taking hall current into account. The perturbations are created by a constant pressure gradient along the plates in addition to the non-torsional oscillations of the upper plate. The flow in the clean fluid region is governed by Navier-Stoke’s equations while in the porous bed the equations are based on Darcy-Lapwood model. The exact solutions of velocity in the clean fluid and the porous medium consist of steady state and transient state. The time required for the transient state to decay is evaluated in detail and ultimate quasi-steady state solution has been derived analytically and also its behaviour is computationally discussed with reference to different flow parameters. The shear stresses on the boundaries and the mass flux are also obtained analytically and their behaviour is computationally discussed.

鉴于床面非均匀散粒粗糙直接影响明渠水流的流速结构问题,基于PIV水槽试验,研究了非均匀散粒粗糙床面明渠水流的流速结构,探讨了水流时均流速沿流向和沿垂线的分布规律,分析了脉动流速的象限分布特征。结果表明,梅花形排列的大尺度非均匀散粒粗糙显著影响了颗粒顶部以下的水流结构,大、小颗粒周围时均流速结构相似,颗粒大小明显影响了流动分离区形状尺度和内外层流体分界点位置;象限分析显示外层流体中,大颗粒使其上方区域Q2、Q4事件的概率减小;内层流体中Q1、Q3事件占主导,颗粒上游及大颗粒附近相比下游及小颗粒附近更易产生强紊流事件。

黄河下游近期持续冲刷过程中床沙粗化特性分析

床沙组成的变化影响悬沙沿程恢复及河床阻力变化。本文基于黄河下游7个水文站1999—2020年的实测床沙资料,计算了各水文断面不同粒径组床沙占比的年际变化,分析了近二十年持续冲刷过程中不同河型河段床沙的时空粗化特性,讨论了河床冲淤过程对床沙粗化的影响。从时间来看,小浪底水库运用后,不同时期床沙的粗化特点不同,拦沙初期(2000—2006年)急剧粗化,拦沙后期(2007—2020年)粗化放缓,高村站及上游各站床沙呈波动粗化,高村站以下则变化不大,且粗化程度最强处由游荡段向下游过渡段转移;从空间来看,床沙沿程细化,游荡段以极粗沙为主,过渡段以粗沙和极粗沙为主,弯曲段的中细沙不可忽视。拦沙初期各河段床沙组成的调整表现为中细均冲;拦沙后期则表现为中粗均冲,极粗沙占比增大,利津以上各站细沙占比不足5%,对悬沙的补给受限,中沙和粗沙仍经受冲刷,极粗沙对相应悬沙有较好补给作用。河段汛后床沙中值粒径与河床累计冲刷量呈良好的幂函数正相关关系,但拦沙后期床面已粗化到相当程度,河床冲淤对床沙粗化的影响受限。研究结果有助于掌握近期整个黄河下游床沙的粗化现状及预测下游河道冲淤变形规律。

灌门水道水轮机阵列布置对潮流运动特性的影响

潮流能水轮机机组的运行会改变潮流运动结构,引起局部区域的水动力特性发生变化,进而影响机组的获能效率。对此,以舟山群岛灌门水道为例,基于Delft 3D软件建立三维水动力学模型,研究机组阵列交错布置对运动潮流的影响。通过网格嵌套分别模拟舟山群岛和灌门水道的潮流运动特征,采用多孔盘法模拟水轮机阵列对潮流空间结构的作用。研究表明:多排机组阵列运行之后,水轮机及下游潮流流速会显著下降,并引起垂向上转轮上、下边缘区流速增加;水轮机迎流方向水位上升,涨、落急时刻最大壅水差值达10cm;水轮机底部及机组之间的床面切应力增大,尾流影响区切应力减小;尾流叠加,床面切应力进一步减小,落急时刻尾流区的床面切应力减小量可达54.03%,阵列两侧床面切应力增大量可达177.93%。在未来的潮流能开发选址中,应全面评估布置水轮机后可能引起的潮流运动特性变化,优化阵列布置,降低对环境的影响。

寒旱区湿陷性土地基渠道衬砌结构改造的数值模拟研究

寒旱区输水渠道防渗衬砌结构极易发生冻胀破坏而影响灌区供水安全和稳定运行。为提高湿陷性黄土地基渠道的抗冻胀性能,以宁夏固海扬水灌区衬砌渠道为例,通过分析原型渠道冻胀破坏特征,基于提高防渗体抗冻胀变形能力的思路,提出了三种不同边坡系数、断面结构形式和边坡筑构材料的防渗结构优化方案,并应用ABAQUS软件,分别计算分析了不同方案的衬砌结构受热力耦合作用下的冻胀变形特征与受力状态。结果表明,在湿陷性黄土地区,弧底梯形渠道的抗冻胀性能普遍优于梯形断面渠道;在渠道防渗衬砌体基土之间加设一定厚度的水泥砂浆垫层,能有效减弱衬砌结构在冻胀作用下的应力集中现象;适当减小渠道边坡系数能有效减少渠道内的冻胀应力峰值;在三种衬砌改造结构中,其峰值应力减幅分别为70.49%、63.36%、27.68%,最大冻胀量降低率分别为7.70%、5.05%、-2.82%,选取边坡系数为1∶1.75的弧底梯形断面型式,并在混凝土防渗面板与基土间设置水泥砂浆垫层时,其抗冻胀效果最佳,可在同类地区推广应用。该研究结果为跨越湿陷性黄土地基的灌区渠道结构改造提供参考,也可为同类地区渠道的防冻胀设计提供依据。

基于河道演变的边坡变形破坏机制分析

西藏扎拉水电站导流隧洞进口边坡施工开挖过程中揭露了反常变形破坏现象。为了给边坡治理提供依据,根据该段边坡的地形地貌、岩土结构特征,考虑河道演变过程对边坡形成及发展的影响,分析了边坡变形破坏的机制。结果表明:与单侧临空面的边坡不同,导流隧洞进口边坡的变形受河道演变过程的影响,古河道期间,岩层向古河道(现代岸坡内侧)发生倾倒变形,形成弯曲带;现代河道形成过程中,切割坡体促使弯曲带岩体折断、破碎,成为弯折带;施工开挖切穿弯折破碎带,导致边坡浅层岩体发生外鼓变形、顺层滑移。该工程经验及分析思路可供类似工程借鉴。

Flow resistance and its prediction methods in compound channels

A series of experiments was carried out in a large symmetric compound channel composed of a rough main channel and rough floodplains to investigate the resistance characteristics of inbank and overbank flows. The effective Manning, Darcy-Weisbach, Chezy coefficients and the relative Nikuradse roughness height were analyzed. Many different representative methods for predicting the composite roughness were systematically summarized. Besides the measured data, a vast number of laboratory data and field data for compound channels were collected and used to check the validity of these methods for different subsection divisions including the vertical, horizontal, diagonal and bisectional divisions. The computation showed that these methods resulted in big errors in assessing the composite roughness in compound channels, and the reasons were analyzed in detail. The error magnitude is related to the subsection divisions.

Sedimentation Processes at the Navigation Channel of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Port, Nile Delta, Egypt

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) port is located at Abu Qir Bay on the northwestern coast of the Nile delta, Egypt. The port was constructed in 2004 to export liquefied natural gas worldwide. The offshore basins of this port including the turning and berthing areas (15-m depth) are connected to the deep water by a 15-m depth dredged channel that extends 4 km offshore. However, the navigation channel and its contiguous basins have experienced problematic shoaling that might affect the navigation activities of gas tankers. Sedimentation processes have been investigated by analyses of waves, currents, bathymetry, grain size of seabed and channel dimensions. Sedimentation rates are estimated using a developed numerical model. Sedimentation rate fluctuates between 0.048 × 106 m3/month and 0.388 × 106 m3/month, with an annual sedimentation rate of 1.977 × 106 m3/yr. The variance in the sedimentation rates between winter and summer resulted in increasing of current speed and direction flowing towards offshore. The sedimentation process is influenced by the temporal variability in the direction and intensity of the predominant waves, currents, orientation of navigation channel, basin breakwaters, seafloor morphology and sediment sources. Due to the geographic location of LNG port it lays within a sediment sink for sediments supplied from different alternating directions by several pathways, flowing towards the N-W, S-W, N-E, and S-E quadrants. Most of these currents components are substantially effective in transporting fine-grained sediment towards the navigation channel axis and contiguous basins. Together with these currents, the predominant NW and SE waves acting to agitate and stirrup sediments in the vicinity of the port, and thereby accelerating sedimentation rates.

Theoretical analyses on bed topography responses in large depth-to-width ratio river bends with constant curvatures

Bed morphology is the result of a dynamic response to a complex meandering river system. It is an important factor for the further development of river. Based on the meandering river characterized by a large depth-to-width ratio, a theoretical model is established with the coupling of Navier-Stokes （N-S）~ sediment transport, and bed deformation equations. The flow characteristics and bed response of river are obtained with the perturbation method. The research results show that, under the effect of two- dimensional flow disturbance, the bars and pools present the regular response. For a given sinuousness, the amplitude of the bed response can be used as a criterion to judge the bedform stability. The effects of the Reynolds number, disturbance wavenumber, sinuousness, and bed morphology gradient on the bed response development are described.

Experimental study on evolution of bed structures of natural mountain rivers

Bed structures in many mountain rivers provide additional resistance to the flow. A field experiment was conducted on debris flow deposits in the valley of the Jiangjiagou Ravine, a tributary of the Yangtze River in southwestern China, to study the evolution and distribution of bed structures and their relationship with environmental conditions. Water and sediment from the Jiangjiagou main stream were diverted into the experimental channel. Several hydrological schemes were adopted to scour the channel until equilibrium was reached. During this process the evolutions of bed structures and channel configuration were investigated. The results indicate that stronger bed structures mean greater stream power consumption, greater resistance, and greater slope in a certain section when rivers are in dynamic equilibrium. Thus, to some extent the longitudinal profiles of channels can be determined by the distribution of bed structures. In natural cases, the strength and evolution of bed structures are under the influence of environmental conditions such as discharge and bed-load transportation rate. That is, given the same conditions, the same bed structure distribution and longitudinal profile can be predicted.

超薄砂岩储层预测方法研究与应用——以厄瓜多尔安第斯14和17区块为例

目前在油气勘探开发领域,针对中等埋深(2500~3500 m)砂岩储层预测的极限厚度一般可以达到5~10 m,而小于5 m的超薄储层准确预测仍为工业界难题。基于厄瓜多尔安第斯14和17区块不同时期采集和处理的多工区叠后地震数据,采用构造趋势面驱动叠后连片一致性处理,压制了多工区相位、能量、频率及闭合差等因素对薄层反射的干扰,降低了储层预测的多解性。基于时-频衰减高精度合成记录标定方法,消除由于地层吸收产生的时间累积误差,精确标定和解剖薄层反射特征,确定了超薄储层分辨的最低主频。基于无井驱动的“稳态变时频子波”叠后宽频有效信号高分辨率处理技术,有效恢复了薄层弱反射系数。基于宽频地震波形约束,优化了相控非线性反演的算法与工作流程。通过上述研究,形成了一套有效的超薄砂岩储层综合预测方法和技术体系,成功地实现了埋深3000 m、厚度2~5 m潮汐水道砂体的精准预测,新钻滚动评价井和开发井验证其预测准确率达到90%以上。

贵州天柱大河边重晶石矿区F1断层构造特征及其对成矿的控制

贵州天柱大河边地区早寒武世沉积层状重晶石矿,普遍认为符合海底喷流沉积成矿的特征,但对重晶石矿层厚度分布规律及其喷流来源通道位置或控制因素等关键问题的研究较为薄弱。本文通过分析重晶石矿层厚度等值线发现,重晶石成矿与F1断层关系密切。通过地质调查、勘探剖面和物探成果等的综合分析表明,F1断层由导矿构造(Fd)和逆断层(Fn)等耦合组成,至少经历3个阶段的演化,其中早期或为基底断层,并构成重晶石矿的喷流来源通道及主要控制因素。进一步分析认为,重晶石矿应相对集中于断层两侧,沿F1断裂构造带及其两侧附近范围,是重要的成矿有利条件和找矿潜力靶区。

EVOLUTION OF RAPIDS OF CREEK MOUTH－BAR AT GEZHOUBA RESERVOIR AND THE IMPACTS ON NAVIGABLE CHANNEL IN THE UPPER REACHES OF THE CHANGJIANG RIVER

Almost at every mouth of the tributary creek of the Three Gorges inthe Gezhouba Reservoir, the alluvial fans or alluvial cones formed the rapids, whichare called rapids of creek mouth--bar. They are composed of pebble bed load with d>20 mm. Based upon geological and geomorphological investigations, the authors detect that the pebble bed load at the Gezhouba Re3ervoir comes from two sources,namely, the region mainly with limestone and The region mainly with pyrolith, andtheir converging area is within the Gezhouba Project. percentages of the pebble bedload are calculated. The calculated result stows that, 65% of pebble bed load comesfrom the region mainly with limestone, and 93 % of the rapids of creek mouth--bar isdistributed in the region mainly with limestone. Considering the water level fluctuations, the rapids of creek mouth--bar can be divided into 3 types i. e. flood waterones, medium water ones and low water ones. Due to the rise of water level afterbuilding the Gezhouba Reservoir, the navigable channels in the area of rapids ofcreek mouth--bar within varied back water region are improved, taking up 50% of all12 rapids. But the rapids of creek mouth--bar in the tail region where the water levelrises less than 1 m, the conditions of navigable channels are little improved and evendeterioration, because of the continuous supply of pebble bed load. Therefore, thoserapids must be regulated before the completion of the Three Gorges Project.

三峡水库蓄水后上荆江不同河床组成江心洲的演变过程及其机制

三峡及上游梯级水库群运用后,大坝下游江心洲以冲刷为主,直接影响分汊河段河势条件及航道边界的稳定性。本文采用卫星遥感影像、实测水沙及固定断面床沙级配等资料,分析上荆江枝江、沙市河段中不同河床组成江心洲的演变过程及其机理。结果表明:(1)三峡水库蓄水后(2003-2019年),沙市段沙质江心洲较枝江段卵石夹沙质江心洲萎缩更为显著,出露面积的减幅分别达31%和24%。(2)以关洲和金城洲分别代表卵石夹沙质和沙质江心洲,三峡工程运用后关洲洲头形态较为稳定,受无序采砂的影响其沙质组成的洲尾面积显著减小,而金城洲面积萎缩程度更大。(3)床沙组成对江心洲冲刷程度差异具有重要影响,关洲洲头较金城洲抗冲性更强,与其床沙在年内达到起动条件的数量更少、时长更短有关;建立了江心洲面积与水流冲刷强度及相对水深的定量关系,该关系能综合考虑水沙变化与床沙组成调整的影响,能更好地反演近期江心洲的面积变化特点。

河道推移质最大输沙能力影响因素敏感性分析

河道推移质最大输沙能力受到水动力和河道边界多因素的共同影响。采用水力半径分割方法,以河岸坡角为θ的等腰梯形为过水断面,λ为河岸与河底的相对糙率,d50为床沙中值粒径,nb为河底糙率系数,Q为流量,S为比降,利用变分方法解析各因子对河道的推移质最大输沙能力和相应最优河道形态的影响程度。结果表明:河道推移质最大输沙率随着λ的增大而增大,随着θ的增大而减小,即河岸糙率的相对增大或河岸坡度的减小都会提升最大输沙能力;流量Q、比降S的增大,均可提升最大输沙能力;河底糙率系数nb减小、流量维持不变将会降低最大输沙能力,床沙中值粒径d50减小则会提升最大输沙能力;既不特别宽浅又不特别窄深的河道具有最大的推移质输沙能力。

明渠层流近床面颗粒拖曳力研究

泥沙颗粒受到的拖曳力是泥沙运动的主要驱动力,而当前应用于计算流体力学-离散颗粒法(CFD-DPM)耦合模型进行水沙运动模拟的泥沙颗粒拖曳力公式均没有考虑明渠流底床边壁作用的影响。求解不可压缩Navier-Stokes方程,对明渠层流不同雷诺数条件下床面附近不同高度处颗粒所受拖曳力进行了模拟,根据模拟结果变化规律,提出了综合考虑床面和水流惯性对标准拖曳力影响的修正拖曳力计算公式。与常用的单颗粒标准拖曳力公式和考虑遮蔽效应的多颗粒拖曳力公式相比,采用本文修正公式得到的水沙作用力更接近高精度数值解,应用于CFD-DPM输沙模拟获得的输沙结果与输沙率公式结果一致,应用分析表明输沙模拟应当采用粗糙底床边界。
