An ADV was used to determine the three dimensional turbulent velocities in clear water flow without vegetation, sediment-laden flow without vegetation, sediment-laden flow with submerged vegetation and sediment-laden flow with non-submerged vegetation. By experimental and theoretical analysis, the effects of rigid vegetation on the distribution of averaged velocities, turbulence intensities and Reynolds stress were summarized. In sediment-laden flow with submerged vegetation, the averaged stream wise velocities above the top of vegetation fit well with the log distribution low. The three-dimensional turbulence intensities increase from the bottom until they reach the maximum at the top of the vegetation. The method to calculate the shear velocity with the maximum of the Reynolds stress is recommended. In sediment-laden flow with non-submerged vegetation, the turbulence problems cannot be explained by theory of bed shear flow. The average velocities, turbulence intensities and Reynolds stress approximate uniformly distributed along vertical direction.展开更多

Therefore, the water use for sediment transport must be considered in study on the water demand for river ecosystem. The conventional methods for calculating the Minimum Water Demand for River Ecosystem (MWDRE) are not appropriate for rivers with high sediment concentration. This paper studied the MWDRE in wet season, dry season and the whole year under different water-and-sediment conditions in the Lower Yellow River, which is regarded as a typical river with sediment-laden flows. The characteristics of MWDRE in the river are analyzed. Firstly, the water demand for sediment transport (WDST) is much larger than the demands for other riverine functions, the WDST accounts for the absolute majority of the MWDRE. Secondly, in wet season when the WDST is satisfied, not only most of the annual incoming sediment can be transported downstream, but also the water demands for other river functions can be satisfied automatically, so that the MWDRE in wet season is identical to the WDST. Thirdly, in dry season, when the WDST is satisfied, the water demands for other river functions can also be satisfied, but the low sediment transport efficiency results in significant waste of water resources. According to these characteristics and aiming at decreasing sediment deposition in the riverbed and improving the utilization efficiency of water resources, hydrological engineering works can be used to regulate or control flow and sediment so that the sediment incoming in dry season can be accumulated and be transported downstream intensively and thus efficiently in wet season.展开更多

In this article, a mathematical model for low-concentration sediment-laden flow was suggested based on the two-phase flow theory, and a solving scheme for the mathematical model in curvilinear grids was worked out. The observed data in the Zhang River in China was used for the ver/fication of the model, and the calculated results of the water level, velocity and river bed deformation are in agreement with the observed ones.展开更多
