灌区分水口多为直角, 附近普遍存在冲刷、淤积及结构破坏现象。天然河流分、汇流多为锐角, 为探索非直角分水口区域明渠水流紊动特性, 以30°分水角明渠为研究对象, 采用声学多普勒点式流速仪测量各断面上的三维瞬时流速, 分析典型断面上的时均流速、环流强度、紊动强度、紊动能和床面剪切应力分布规律。试验结果显示: 分水口处水流横向流速沿渠宽方向变化较大, 易形成环流, 导致局部冲淤现象明显; 靠近口门侧水流紊动强度变化剧烈且分布无规律, 最大值出现在口门上唇断面; 分水口处下层水体紊动能明显大于上层水体, 紊动能较大值多集中在口门附近; 口门断面下唇附近床面剪切应力较大, 易出现冲刷侵蚀, 破坏渠道稳定; 与直角分水口相比, 分水角为30°时, 泥沙颗粒不易进入侧渠道, 水流对渠底及边壁侵蚀速率较低。研究结果可为灌区渠系设计及运行提供参考。     

含淹没植物河流水流紊动强度最大值及其影响因素

根据含淹没植物河流水流紊动强度与流速和流速分布的关系,建立紊动强度经验公式,并数学推导证明了紊动强度垂向分布最大值的存在。根据实验数据,该紊动强度最大值的大小及出现位置受植物和水流条件的影响:植物的存在增加水流阻力,植物排列密度改变紊动强度最大值的大小;植物叶片的摆动形成水流紊动的主要干扰源,植物/水深相对高度控制紊动强度最大值的出现位置;断面平均流速的变化改变水流的稳定性和植物冠层的高度,对紊动强度最大值的大小和出现位置均有一定影响。     

明渠收缩过渡段流速分布及紊动特性试验

受地形、地质等条件影响,明渠收缩过渡段在输水工程中十分常见,过渡段长度过短,会导致水面波动,水体紊动加剧。为研究明渠不同长度过渡段内纵向时均流速及紊动强度的分布规律,通过室内模型试验,利用二维电磁流速仪ACM2-RS测量了渠道内沿程中垂线不同深度处瞬时流速。试验结果表明:收缩段内,纵向时均流速沿程增加,紊动强度沿程降低,遵循涡旋的拉伸机制和线性扭曲理论;受二次流影响,最大流速位于水面以下,且最大流速的位置随二次流作用的增强而降低;不同长度过渡段对下游纵向流速分布和紊动强度影响不同,过渡段越短,下游水流紊动越强,但非渠底附近紊动强度沿垂向先减后增的规律不变。     

淹没刚性植被明渠紊流沿程流动特性差异

淹没刚性植被通过改变水流结构,造成时均流速、紊动强度、雷诺应力等水力参数垂线分布不均匀和沿程差异化。采用声学多普勒测速仪(ADV)测量3种淹没度(3.0、4.0、5.0)下的流速,结合统计学方法,系统分析植被段内及其上、下游过渡段流速和紊动特性差异。结果表明：植被显著增强了水流紊动,且紊动特性取值与淹没度正相关;植被段内流速差异在低淹没度下的植被层内和高淹没度下的自由流动层内更加显著,而紊动特性沿程增强,且垂线分布具有相似性,最大值点位于冠层顶部附近;当淹没度满足KH涡的形成和发展条件时,随淹没度的增大,植被段内紊动特性垂线分布出现转折点(临近此点梯度急剧减小并趋于0)的断面数量增多,经验证,在充分发展的紊流区此点可作为KH涡的上边界点。     

苦草对水流结构的影响研究

为研究沉水植被对水流结构的影响,以苦草为对象,利用实验室水槽实验研究了含淹没水生植被水流时均流速、雷诺应力及紊动能的垂向分布特征。受苦草冠层的影响,时均流速在冠顶以上呈对数分布,且随着流量的增加,冠层倾伏高度降低,对数剖面愈加明显;冠层内部,由于冠层阻流面积在垂向分布上的差异,冠层内时均流速出现逆梯度分布,且在床面附近出现局部流速最大值。雷诺应力在冠顶附近达到最大值,并向水面与床底方向逐渐减小;受逆流速梯度的影响,冠层内部雷诺应力出现负值以及局部最大值。雷诺应力产生的剪切紊动使得紊动能在冠顶处最大,并向水面与床底进行垂向传输;受紊动传输距离的限制,冠层底部以叶片后产生的尾流紊动为主,紊动能较小。     

冰盖下水流紊动特性试验研究

河冰是陆地冰冻圈的重要组成要素,在生消演变过程中影响水流运动规律,受冰凌影响河流流态可分为明流、完全冰封和部分冰封。为探究冰盖下水流的紊动特性,采用声学多普勒三维测速仪测量3种流态的恒定均匀流场,对比分析纵向时均流速、雷诺应力和紊动强度的分布规律。结果表明：完全冰封流纵向时均流速垂向上呈不对称“■”型分布,雷诺应力在垂向上线性分布,紊动强度在基于双层假定划分的冰盖层和床面层均符合指数分布律;部分冰封流纵向时均流速垂向分布兼具明流和完全冰封流的特性,存在横向动量交换,导致冰盖区、明流区和过渡区的雷诺应力和紊动强度在水深方向上也存在明显的差异。试验结果可为冰凌灾害防治和供水安全保障提供理论指导。     

风浪作用下水生植物对水流结构的影响——以太湖中两种典型沉水植物为例

为研究风浪作用下水生植物对水流结构的影响,选取太湖中两种典型沉水植物(苦草与马来眼子菜)为研究对象,分别对苦草植物斑块与马来眼子菜植物斑块内外水体的瞬时流速进行野外现场测量,利用瞬时流速的能量谱分布将波浪流速与紊动流速分离,分别分析水生植物对时均流速、波浪流速以及紊动能的影响。风浪影响下,水体中存在流向与测量时近水面处盛行风向一致的水流;波浪流速以垂向流速为主,且波浪流速自水面向床底逐渐减小;紊动能在水面处达到最大值,并向床底方向逐渐减小。与无植被条件相比,苦草与马来眼子菜的存在减小了时均流速、波浪流速以及紊动能。两种植物形态上的差异,导致其对水流结构的影响不同:苦草叶片阻流面积在冠层中部达到最大,使得时均流速与波浪流速在苦草中部位置的减小程度最大;马来眼子菜叶片主要集中于冠层顶部(水面附近),其对时均流速以及波浪流速的减小作用在水面处达到最大。

弯道水流对下游回水响应特征试验研究

弯道水面横比降及断面环流是弯道水流的显著特性。通过U形弯道水流壅水试验,对弯道水面横向比降、横向流速分布、环流强度、紊动能及纵向流速沿程的变化进行了试验研究。结果显示,随着下游回水的抬高,弯道水面横比降、横向流速分布、环流强度、紊动能及纵向流速将发生明显的改变。为深入探讨下游回水对弯道水流结构的影响提供了科学依据。     

溢流堰与竖缝组合式鱼道紊流结构试验研究

利用声学多普勒测速仪（ADV）实测了凹口溢流堰与同侧布置竖缝组合式鱼道的三维瞬时流速,应用射流力学和紊流统计理论剖析了鱼道水池内的时均流速、紊动强度、雷诺应力、相关函数、紊动尺度等紊流结构。试验研究结果表明:溢流堰与竖缝组合式鱼道池内水流流态呈现出复杂的三维紊流结构;同竖缝相比,溢流堰对紊动强度和雷诺应力的变化有着更为显著的影响,尤其是鱼道池内表层区域;堰流区涡旋的相关性比竖缝壁面射流区好,并且堰流区存在较大尺度的涡旋结构,而竖缝壁面射流区的涡旋尺度则较小。相比单一式鱼道,组合式鱼道紊流结构更加复杂,研究结果可为优化鱼道设计、修复鱼类生境提供参考。     

Quantifying velocity and turbulence structure in depositing sustained turbidity currents across breaks in slope

Two-dimensional experiments investigating sediment transport and turbulence structure in sustained turbidity currents that cross breaks in slope are presented as analogue illustrations for natural flows. The results suggest that in natural flows, turbulence generation at slope breaks may account for increased sand transport into basins and that the formation of a hydraulic jump may not be necessary to explain features such as the occurrence of submarine plunge pools and the deposition of coarser-grained beds in the bottomsets of Gilbert-type fan deltas. Experimental flows were generated on 0°, 3°, 6° and 9° slopes of equal length which terminated abruptly on a horizontal bed. Two-component velocities were measured on the slope, at the slope break and downstream of the slope break. Flows were depositional and non-uniform, visibly slowing and thickening with distance downstream. One-dimensional continuous wavelet transforms of velocity time series were used to produce time-period variance maps. Peaks in variance were tested against a background red-noise spectrum at the 95% level; a significant period banding occurs in the cross-wavelet transform at the slope break, attributed to increased formation of coherent flow structures (Kelvin–Helmholtz billows). Variance becomes distributed at progressively longer periods and the shape of the bed-normal-velocity spectral energy distribution changes with distance downstream. This is attributed to a shift towards larger turbulent structures caused by wake stretching. Mean velocity, Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy profiles illustrate the mean distribution of turbulence through the currents. A turbulent kinetic energy transfer balance shows that flow non-uniformity arises through the transfer of mean streamwise slowing to mean bed-normal motion through the action of Reynolds normal stresses. Net turbulence production through the action of normal stresses is achieved on steeper slopes as turbulence dissipation due to mean bed-normal motion is limited. At the slope break, an imbalance between the production and dissipation of turbulence occurs because of the contrasting nature of the wall and free-shear boundaries at the bottom and top of the flows, respectively. A rapid reduction in mean streamwise velocity predominately affects the base of the flows and steeper proximal slope flows have to slow more at the break in slope. The increased turbulent kinetic energy, limited bed-normal motion and strong mixing imposed by steep proximal slopes means rapid slowing enhances turbulence production at the break in slope by focusing energy into coherent flow structures at a characteristic period. Thus, mean streamwise slowing is transferred into turbulence production at the slope break that causes increased transport of sediment and a decrease in deposit mass downstream of the slope break. The internal effects of flow non-uniformity therefore can be separated from the external influence of the slope break.     

Mean flow and turbulence structure over fixed, two-dimensional dunes: implications for sediment transport and bedform stability

Detailed measurements of flow velocity and its turbulent fluctuation were obtained over fixed, two-dimensional dunes in a laboratory channel. Laser Doppler anemometry was used to measure the downstream and vertical components of velocity at more than 1800 points over one dune wavelength. The density of the sampling grid allowed construction of a unique set of contour maps for all mean flow and turbulence parameters, which are assessed using higher moment measures and quadrant analysis. These flow field maps illustrate that: (1) the time-averaged downstream and vertical velocities agree well with previous studies of quasi-equilibrium flow over fixed and mobile bedforms and show a remarkable symmetry from crest to crest; (2) the maximum root-mean-square (RMS) of the downstream velocity values occur at and just downstream of flow reattachment and within the flow separation cell; (3) the maximum vertical RMS values occur within and above the zone of flow separation along the shear layer and this zone advects and diffuses downstream, extending almost to the next crest; (4) positive downstream skewness values occur within the separation cell, whereas positive vertical skewness values are restricted to the shear layer; (5) the highest Reynolds stresses are located within the zone of flow separation and along the shear layer; (6) high-magnitude, high-frequency quadrant-2 events (‘ejections’) are concentrated along the shear layer (Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities) and dominate the contribution to the local Reynolds stress; and (7) high-magnitude, high-frequency quadrant-4 events occur bounding the separation zone, near reattachment and close to the dune crest, and are significant contributors to the local Reynolds stress at each location. These data demonstrate that the turbulence structure associated with dunes is controlled intrinsically by the formation, magnitude and downstream extent of the flow separation zone and resultant shear layer. Furthermore, the origin of dune-related macroturbulence lies in the dynamics of the shear layer rather than classical turbulent boundary layer bursting. The fluid dynamic distinction between dunes and ripples is reasoned to be linked to the velocity differential across the shear layer and hence the magnitude of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, which are both greater for dunes than ripples. These instabilities control the local flow and turbulence structure and dictate the modes of sediment entrainment and their transport rates.     

采样频率及样本容量对明渠紊流统计值的影响

Changes in velocity profiles at roughness transitions in coarse grained channels

Heterogeneous coarse grained channels are often characterized by local transitions in bed surface roughness. Distinct spatial zones in terms of grain size have been reported, for example sand ribbons and bedload sheets. The transition from areas of finer to coarser grained surface sediment is often abrupt. However, the effects of these transitions on the shape of the velocity profile and associated shear velocity and roughness length estimates have not been investigated in detail in coarse grained channels. This paper therefore examines the combined effects of a sudden change in surface roughness and of superimposed scales of resistancé on the structure of the turbulent boundary layer. Measurements along roughness transitions from smooth to rough beds were conducted in a flume using artificial roughness features and in a natural gravel bed river. Immediately at the transition from a zone of close packed roughness to a rougher section dominated by obstacles superimposed on the more or less uniform roughness surface, boundary shear stress and roughness length increase considerably. Downstream from this transition, velocity profiles become concave upwards. Downstream and upstream sections show significant differences in terms of near bed velocities (deceleration downstream of the transition), velocity gradient and turbulence intensity of the streamwise velocity component. Comparing the mean velocity profiles corresponding to these two different roughness surfaces gives some indication of the proportion of total shear velocity (or shear stress) associated with the pressure drag produced by large and isolated obstacles.     

Suspended sediment dynamics and morphodynamics in the Yellow River, China

The Yellow River in China carries large amounts of sediments in suspension at concentrations up to several hundreds of kilograms per cubic metre; the sediment is composed mainly of silt. These high sediment concentrations influence the hydrodynamics (flow velocity and turbulence) which, in turn, determine the sediment concentration profile, whereas both the high sediment concentrations and pseudo-cohesive properties of silt determine the morphodynamics of the Yellow River. The effect of sediment on the hydrodynamics is analysed using the Richardson number and the Reynolds number to provide a framework to differentiate between various flow regimes in the Yellow River, which is calibrated and validated with Yellow River data. The flow may be sub-saturated (stable flow), super-saturated (unstable flow characterized by high deposition rates, caused by collapse of turbulence), or hyperconcentrated sub-saturated (stable flow because of hindered settling effects), depending on the Richardson number. Independent of this, the flow may be turbulent, transitional or laminar, depending on the Reynolds number. Analysis of these flow types improves understanding of the flow regimes and morphodynamics of the Yellow River. The morphodynamics of the Yellow River are also affected by pseudo-cohesive behaviour caused by shear dilatance, which results in increasing critical shear stress for erosion at decreasing grain-size. This pseudo-cohesive behaviour may be partly responsible not only for the high deposition rates which characterize the lower Yellow River, but also for mass erosion during river floods.
