Article Description

River conditions are complex and affected by human activities. Various hydraulic structures change the longitudinal slope and cross-sectional shape of the riverbed, which has a significant impact on the simulation of water-head evolution. With continuous population growth, the hydrological characteristics of the Yongding River Basin have undergone significant changes. Too little or too much water discharge may be insufficient to meet downstream ecological needs or lead to the wastage of water resources, respectively. It is necessary to consider whether the total flow in each key section can achieve the expected value under different discharge flows. Therefore, a reliable computer model is needed to simulate the evolution of the water head and changes in the water level and flow under different flow rates to achieve efficient water resource allocation. A one-dimensional hydrodynamic coupling model based on the Saint-Venant equations was established for the Yongding River Basin. Different coupling methods were employed to calibrate the coupling model parameters, using centralised water replenishment data for the autumn of 2022, and the simulation results were verified using centralised water replenishment data for the spring of 2023. The maximum error of the water-head arrival time between different river sections was 4 h, and the maximum error of the water-head arrival time from the Guanting Reservoir to each key cross-section was 6 h. The maximum flow error was less than 5 m/s, and the changing trend of the flow over time was consistent with the measured data. The model effectively solved the problem of low accuracy of the water level and flow calculation results when using the traditional one-dimensional hydrodynamic model to simulate the flow movement of complex river channels in the Yongding River. The output results of the model include the time when the water head arrives at the key section, the change process of the water level and flow of each section, the change process of the water storage of lakes and gravel pits, and the change process of the total flow and water surface area of the key section. This paper reports data that support the development of an ecological water compensation scheme for the Yongding River.
