The research goal is development of hydraulic design method for bilateral transverse dams, installed symmetrically on floodplain, with the consideration of channel and floodplain flow and varying roughness of channel and floodplain.
The scientific novelty of the research consists of the following:
design methods for damming, contraction coefficient over area, vortex zone lengths under bylatcral contraction of floodplain flow by blank transverse dams have been improved, taking into consideration the inteaction of floodplain and channel flows;
design method for velocity determination in contracted section have been improved for symetrieal contraction by floodplain dams, taking into consideration the dam installation angle and contraction coefficient for discharge;
design method for velocity field have been improved for contraction area under symmetrial flow contraction by floodplain transverse blank dams, considering uneven velocity distribution, longitudinal and transverse depth changes;
contracted section flow spreading and vortex zone length design parameters have been developed, with the account of floodplain and channel flow interaction, similar and varying roughnesses for floodplain and channel.
Conclusions
On the basis of conducted research for PhD dissertation named «Patterns of bilateral symmetric obstruction of floodplain flow by transverse blank dikes» the following conclusions have been presented:
1. The versatility of velocity fields at the interaction zone of floodplain and channel flows have been justified experimentally, width change patterns of this zones have been set for rivers with symmetrical floodplains. As a result, the compliance of theoretical and experimental studies have been justified.
2. Bilateral symmetric floodplain flow contraction by transverse dams result in intense change of natural regime of rivers, both in floodplain and channel, and generation of upstream vortex zones, contraction and spreading zones, hydraulically homogeneous zones form in areas of contraction and spreading: weakly disturbed core, adjacent flow, intense turbulent mixing, interaction zone. The research results allow predicting scour zones and soundly set the intervals between floodplain dams.
3. Unlike existing solutions based on mean velocities in contracted section, solution of hydraulic flow parameters, such as channel velocity Upo, and floodplain velocity U,l0, maximal velocity in floodplain Umo and at dam head arc given with the consideration of uneven velocity distribution. This allowed for drawing attention at scour depth increase to 10% - 30% at floodplain dam heads.
4. It has been experimentally established, that the increase of the extent of contraction by discharge 0q, dam installation angle ад, result in the decrease of spatial contraction coefficient £nr. Besides, their decrease intensity is 0,09 when dam end points downstream, and it equals 0,34, when dam end points upstream. Also analytical relationships have been proposed for determination of £np. These analytical relationships allow for choosing the optimum alternative for installation of bilateral floodplain dams.
5. It has been experimentally proven, that usage of A.M.Latishenkov’s graphical and analytical relationships is correct for calculation of velocity increase coefficient for channel part of contracted section PP. As a result the necessity to consider the angle <p between flow axes and velocity vector have been justified for designing river flow contraction by bilateral transverse dams.
6. In contrast to the existing solutions, the velocity field design method has been developed for contraction area of flow, symmetrically constrained by transverse floodplain dams with the account of longitudinal and transverse depth changes, uneven distribution of velocity in the zone of weakly disturbed core, existence of two turbulent mixing zones and interaction zone between channel and floodplain flows. The developed design method allows to protect river banks with bilateral transverse dams from scouring.
7. Using the main states of turbulent flow theory the following was developed theoretically: calculation method for velocities at channel Up, velocity at floodplains Unn,Um, reverse flows UH, spreading area length Le for cases of symmetrical contraction by transverse dams, when floodplain roughnesses differ пЛ1фп„„ and when they arc equal nM=n,,„. This resulted in possibility to develop plane schematic of flow regulation by bilateral transverse dams for symmetrical and asymmetrical flow spreading conditions.
8. The main results of the work underlined the recommendations, which were applied in industry for works on Amudarya river right and left bank protection and regulation from erosion at Turtkul, Ellikqala, Bcruni, Honka, Bogot and Urgench regions with annual economical efficiency of 80 million sum.
