Abstract: Based on the calculation results of the flood storage capacity in Dongting Lake from 1950's to 90's, the impact of sediment deposition in Dongting Lake and the reach from Chenglingji to Hankou and land use in the lake region on the flood storage capacity is analyzed. The study shows that sediment deposition in downstream reach is the main reason of flood storage increment under the same inflow condition.

Abstract: In this paper,the authors discussed the definition and classification of debris flows, and studied the characteristics of different equation forms of debris flow motion. The authors considered that the average velocity formulas of debris flows accord with the Manning's formula.By using the annual observed data in Jiangjia channel,the authors analysed and verified the effect factors of the average velocity formulas of debris flows,such as the average coarse grain size, the concentration by volume, the thickness of unsteady layer,and relative gradient of slope,etc. Finally, the superimpose effect on the moving process of intermittent debris flows was diccussed.The authors pointed out that the supernormal pore water pressure between debris flows and underlay reduces resistance between debris flows and underlay,and accelerates debris flows,thereby the velocity of debris flows on mild slope can reach 15m/s.
Key words: intermittent debris flows; the average velocity; resistance decrease due to superimpose effect; acceleration effect

Abstract: According to the experimental data of the generalized physical model of the Lower Reach of Yellow River, some characteristics of bed evolution and sediment-carrying capacity under the different conditions of the dredging dimension and the oncoming runoff and sediment load are analyzed¡£In general, the variational ranges of water velocity, the scouring volume in the upper reach and the redepositing volume in the dredging channel will be bigger if the dredging dimension is larger. However, the redepositing rate and the dredging efficiency are a nonlinear relation. When the value of B/Hof the dredging channel is about 5-8, the dredging efficiency will be maximum. Under a constant dredging dimension, with the increase of the discharge or the reduction of the sediment concentration/the sediment size, the scouring volume in the upper reach will increase, whereas the re-deposition in the dredqing channel will decrease.

Abstract: The convergent speed is one of the important reasons to affect the application of 2 D numerical models for unsteady flow and sediment transport. In this paper, a so-called multigrid method is used to improve the computational speed. Meanwhile, the coordinate transformation method is used to fit the complicated and irregular boundary conditions. The analysis to the iteration characteristic of the multigrid method by a case study shows that the method can greatly improve the numerical convergent speed. Finally, the proposed 2-D model was verified by using the field data in Wuhan reach of Yangtze River.

Abstract: The change of water level is the reflection of the interaction between stream flow and river boundaries. The interactions are different for different rivers. For ordinary rivers, deformations of riverbed are not intensive and changes of water level depend mainly upon changes of discharge. For rivers with sediment-laden, such as the Yellow River, changing quickly of river boundaries, channel erosion and floodplain deposition, erosion in flooding up and deposition in flooding down are the main characteristics of river variation in flood period. Cross section regulation affects the change of water level greatly. In this paper the effect of main channel erosion on the capacity of average or low sediment concentration conveyance flood are analyzed from quality to quantity in details. The research result is very significant to guide flood protection of the Lower Yellow River.

Abstract: The characteristics of rill flows occurred over clay soil slope were often described from the point of geography. Based on indoor experiments, the paper discussed the characteristics of rill flows from the point of minimum energy dissipation and hydraulics. Not only were the "drop pit" phenomena which occurred during the rill erosion analyzed, but also the differences in the hydraulic characteristics between rill flows and open channel flows were pointed out.

Abstract:This paper is undertaken the phenomenon of the sand motion and scour-deposition on bottom panel by experimental tests with clear water.From experimental analysis,some results could be summarized as:(1)The depths of scour ds and deposition dd are larger as the ¦È is larger (¦Èis the angle between flow and panel).They may reach the maximum values as ¦È between 45¡ã and 60¡ã¡£However, when ¦È is greater than 60¡ã, the bigger the ¦È,the smaller the ds and dd.(2) A scouring hole close to panel moves backward and forward between upstream and downstream of panel center as ¦È increases gradually.(3) There is a linear positive relationship between ds or dd and h (h is the height from bed to top of panel)¡£(4) There is a linear positive relationship between ds/a and ¦È (a is the length of the scouring hole).

Abstract: Different types of land uses are the main reason to cause soil erosion. By taking the Baolongquan small basin in Hulunbeier League erodible region as an observation base, the analyses on the relationship among the precipitation, runoff, and soil erosion under different land uses are conducted. The results show that the soil erosion depends greatly on land uses, such as cultivated land along ridges, cultivated land across ridges, uncultivated slope fields, terraced fields, and the secondary forest land. In addition, the results indicate that the soil erosion is directly proportional to the rain runoff. These findings may provide a scientific basis for the prevention and management of the soil in the erodible region in Hulunbeier League.
