Umbrella Labyrinth Sedimentation Device Study

Umbrella-type mud-water diversion labyrinth sedimentation device,which is characterized by the combination of two swash plate and wing plate into an umbrella type with a set angle,the angle range of the two swash plate is 15º--100º,the vertical height of the swash plate is 60-70 mm,the parallel axis of the wing plate is the vertical direction,the height is 10-20 mm.the whole adopts the modular combination mode,and can be freely combined and disassembled according to different pond design,swash plate The interval(sedimentation distance)can be freely adjusted,mud take the mud road and water take the water road,to avoid the mutual interference of the water and mud road,to achieve the stability of the water quality.The turbidity of the sedimentation pond is low,stable in 0.3-2.0 NTU.

Modeling sediment transport in the lower Yellow River and dynamic equilibrium threshold value

A major problem in the lower Yellow River is the insufficient incoming water and excessive sediment supply, which results in serious deposition, continuous rise of the river bed, and austere flood control situation. To understand the sediment transport regularity of the lower Yellow River and determine the relationship between sedimentation, incoming water and sediment, and zone water diversion, a mathematical model of the sediment suitable for the characteristics of the lower Yellow River has been developed. This model is first rated and verified by large quantity of observed data, and it is then used to analyze silting reduction for the lower Yellow River by Xiaolangdi Reservoir’s operation, the relationship between zone water diversion and channel sedimentation, and critical equilibrium of sedimentation in the lower Yellow River. The threshold values of equilibrium of sedimentation in the lower Yellow River are estimated and they suggest that deposition in the lower Yellow River can be effectively reduced by the operation of regulating flow and sediment from Xiaolangdi Reservoir, water-soil conservation, and controlling water diversion along the lower Yellow River.

PROMOTING SILTATION EFFECTS AND IMPACTS OF HENGSHA EAST SHOAL ON THE YANGTZE RIVER ESTUARY

For the Hengsha East Shoal Promoting Siltation Project in the Yangtze River Estuary, this work developed a formula for calculating sediment carrying capacity based on variable coefficients and a mathematical model for suspended sedimentation using variable saturation recovery coefficients. Not only does the model yield good verification, preferably give the hydrodynamics and the sediment concentration, but also reach a good agreement between the simulation results andlux by tide for studying the effect the measured topographical changes in the promoting siltation zone of the Hengsha East Shoal. Moreover, this article proposes a method for examing the net sediment tran- sportation fs of the project of promoting siltation and comparatively analyzes the current siltation of the Hengsha East Shoal and siltation mouth layouts, entrance widths, entrance bottom elevations, and the impact of the South Main Dike on promoting siltation through calculating the net sediment transportation flux by tide over the fixed bed and the direct movable bed numerical simulations. The results are in good agreement with each other, indicating that the method for calculating the net sedi- ment transportation flux by the tide is also useful for assessing the project in promoting siltation. Finally, we use the modeling results to analyze the water and sediment diversion ratios and the changes in silting and scouting in riverbeds and draw the conclusion that the completion of the Hengsha East Shoal Promoting Siltation Project would not adversely affect the Yangtze River Estuary Deepwater Channel Project.
