    The mitigation effect of eco-ditch with controlled drainage and matrix dam on nitrogen runoff losses from paddy fields was investigated by field experiment. Based on the data observed after paddy field surface drainage in the yellow maturity, the nitrogen concentration changes and nitrogen removal mechanism of the eco-ditch with controlled drainage and matrix dam were monitored. We carried out a field experiment of eco-ditch with controlled drainage and matrix dam in 2017. The experimental site was located in the CaoWei Village of the Hongze County. The controlled drainage gate and matrix dam were set in the ditch at the side of strip field (9.6ha) and irrigation canal flow through the another side. The controlled drainage gate was reinforced concrete structure. The elevation of ram was set same to the strip field. The matrix dam consisted of six dams located in the 2m downstream of controlled drainage gate. The padding of first and sixth dams were stone with particle size of 2-3cm, which were set for energy dissipation and stabilizing the matrix dam. The padding of second and third dams were zeolite about 2cm, which were set for adsorbing nutrients. The padding of fourth and fifth dams were elastic solid material, which were vector of biological film. The paddy fields drainage water was held in the eco-ditch by controlled drainage gate. The nitrogen in drainage water reduced again by matrix dam after overflowing from the controlled drainage gate. Due to the surface drainage and lateral seepage from paddy fields, the high water level in the eco-ditch was remained during the observation stage. The drainage water overflowed from the controlled drainage gate everyday. During the five days paddy fields drainage water held in the eco-ditch, water samples were collected every day at the upstream of controlled drainage gate and downstream of matrix dam, respectively. Then, total nitrogen (TN), ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen concentrations in the water samples were analyzed, respectively. Results showed a combination of controlled drainage and matrix dam may be an effective method for mitigating nitrogen runoff losses from paddy fields. The eco-ditch with controlled drainage and matrix dam obtained 58.20% TN removal. The organic nitrogen was main form of TN in drainage channel water body after paddy field surface drainage in the yellow maturity, the mean ratio of organic nitrogen /TN was 78.14%. The removal of inorganic nitrogen was 11.89%, which was much lower than that of TN. Reductions in TN concentration were primarily due to the organic nitrogen removal in the eco-ditch. The nitrogen mitigation capacity of controlled drainage was higher than that of matrix dam. The removal of TN under controlled drainage was 46.24%, higher than that under matrix dam (8.19%).

    In order to find out the development law, distribution characteristics and main causes of the salinization of the Hongsibao Irrigation District in Ningxia, the remote sensing images of the irrigation districts in 1994, 2003, 2008 and 2015 were used as research data, and the maximum likelihood theory was used to accurately classify the irrigation land. The development trend and main causes of secondary salinization of irrigation land were analyzed. The results showed that the area of salinized arable land in the study area increased from 13.44% in 1994 to 21.75% in 2015. The area of light saline-alkali land increased fastest, moderately and severely. Site investigations showed that the local high-salt soil parent material provided conditions for soil salinization, and the unique local climatic conditions and long-term extensive irrigation mode accelerated the development of soil salinization. Therefore, through the comprehensive management model to achieve the regulation and control of water and salt in irrigation districts, it can also provide countermeasures for the efficient use of land resources and the treatment of saline-alkali land in similar irrigation districts.

    The technical measures of preventing silt deposition in muddy water pipeline irrigation system provide technical support for the application of pipeline irrigation technology in the canal irrigation area.. The spiral flow is produced by the action of the hydro-cyclone to reduce the deposition rate. The model test has been applied to the research to observe the spiral flow characteristics produced by guide vanes with different diameter-height ratios in hydro-cyclone. The spiral pipe flow is regarded as two parts. One is Poiseuille flow forced by pump on axial direction. Another produced by external pressure vane is circumferential Coutte flow,and the flow velocity is decomposed into axial velocity,circumferential velocity and radial velocity. It shows that the pressure of the testing section will increase if the diameter-height ratio of guide vanes gets higher,the pressure of hydro-cyclone will grow larger when it was located in the downstream of testing section than the upstream. The axial velocity in the downstream of the testing section will increase firstly but then decrease as the rise of guide vane diameter -height ratio. And the axial velocity of cross section is similar to logarithmic distribution. In the central region,that is,in the range less than 2.5 cm from the pipe axis,the axial velocity is larger and relatively uniform,which belongs to the core region of the spiral flow. In addition to this range,the flow velocity changes rapidly due to the viscosity of the liquid,which belongs to the transition zone and the bottom zone of viscosity. The circumferential speed in the downstream of testing section would decrease firstly but then increase as the rise in guide vane diameter-height ratio. In the mainstream region of r1<r<r2( r1 is less than 2.5 cm from the pipe axis,r2 is less than 3 cm from the pipe axis) , the circumferential velocity has the characteristics of the velocity distribution of the forced vortex,and the velocity of the region is larger and the rotation intensity of the flow is intense. In the quasi free vortex zone of r<r1 and r>r2,the velocity value is relatively small,especially on the pipe wall,whose circumferential velocity is the minimum. The radial velocity in the downstream of the testing section will decrease gradually with the rise in guide vane diameter-height ratio. By studying the vorticity field,the size and distribution of the vortex in the test cross section are obtained,and the physical essence of the fluid motion is further recognized.

    The calculation of runoff concentration for ungauged watersheds is especially crucial in the flood forecasting of hills. Although the present concepts about geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph have proposed the solution, convergence velocity describing flow characteristic in a watershed is required to be estimated. Here 155 source watersheds have been selected, and in order to represent the real average confluence velocity of the basins, the optimal velocity can be obtained by determining the optimum utilization ratio of the watersheds. Spearman Correlation Analysis, Grey Relation Analysis and Random Forests model were used to analyze the correlation between topography and geomorphology parameters and the optimal representative mean velocity in 117 watersheds randomly picked out from total subsequently. Results obtained indicate that the highest-level stream length and the highest-level stream elevation difference are more important topographical factors that affect flow velocity. The formula established between the optimal flow velocity of the watershed and the terrain and geomorphic factors is tested in calibrated and the remaining validated watershed, where performance shows the correlation coefficient are 0.557 and 0.588 respectively. Application of the formula shows better results when transferred to Dingan river in Hainan Province. The results indicate that the proposed technique has perfect fitting accuracy.

    The emergence of the critical state of the water resources system usually leads to the occurrence of abnormal events in the water resources system,and there is no consensus on the existing research on the determination of the critical state of the water resources system. Based on the AWRI ( Aggregate Water Resource Index) ,the CVI ( Critical Value Index) is proposed to comprehensively assess the sudden and abnormal degree of water resources from the early stage to the later stage. At the same time,the threshold CVIt is defined and calculated as the criterion for screening the critical state of the water resources system in the basin. Taking the upper Hanjiang river basin as an example,the monthly CVI index of the basin from 1992 to 2017 is obtained,and the critical month is determined by means of CVIt . The results show that the CVI can better reflect the occurrence of abrupt water resources system anomalies. It is conducive to identifying sudden water resource anomalies and contributing to emergency management of the watershed water resources system by using the CVI index to discriminate the critical state of the water resources system of certain river basin.

    After the construction of water replenishment project and river barrier in Wulungu lake, the briny water backflow in the Buluntuo sea appeared in Jili lake, which accelerated the salinization process of Jili lake and threatened the habitat maintenance and species survival and reproduction of Jili lake. From the perspective of hydrodynamics, combined with the water level change of Wulungu lake in the last 60 years, this paper analyzes the reasons of backflow of Wulungu lake;by means of numerical simulation, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the peak stage of reverse irrigation in lakes under wind flow, stimulation flow and compound drive were investigated, and the quantitative conditions of reverse irrigation were summarized. It is found that the wind current produced by northwest wind is the source of lake backfill, and the change of water intake and water level distribution by water replenishment project is the direct cause of lake backfill. When the water level of Jili lake is 0.3m higher than that of Buluntuo sea and the proportion of the recharge flow and the inflow flow of Wulungu lake is lower than 4.6, the lake will not reverse irrigation. In April and May, the proportion of the recharge flow and the inflow flow of Wulungu lake is far lower than 4.6, which can alleviate the problems of habitat fragmentation and lake irrigate.

    The water temperature distribution in the reservoir area has an important impact on the water ecological environment and the growth of aquatic organisms. To explore the water temperature stratification structure of Hongjiadu Reservoir under different floods,the water temperature model of Hongjiadu Reservoir is established by EFDC model. The water temperature distribution at the front end of the reservoir dam is analyzed,and the temperature difference between the three-day flood,five-day flood and seven-day flood under the surface of the reservoir and the reservoir depth of 5,20,40 and 80 m is analyzed. The results show that: Hongjiadu Reservoir 7 has an obvious water temperature stratification in the dam front section in October and October. The water temperature gradually decreases with the increase in water depth,and the temperature of the upper water body is large,and that of the lower layer is small. There is a temperature difference between the surface of the reservoir and the water at each depth and the flood duration and β. The values are all related. The better the mixing degree of the reservoir is,the smaller the temperature difference is,and the longer the temperature difference is,the longer the temperature difference is. The EFDC model can better simulate the water temperature stratification structure before the Hongjiadu Dam,and has high practicability and reliability. The research structure can provide a scientific basis for the rational operation of the reservoir.

    In order to analyze the influence of design storm pattern on urban waterlogging, MIKE URBAN model was used to simulate the node flood of urban drainage pipe network of a waterlogged zone in the central city of Chengdu. Design hyetographs with different patterns and return period are considered. The total overflow, the node flood time series of a waterlogged well and the spatial distribution of waterlogging are analyzed. By comparing the simulation results, it is found that the lower storm peak position coefficient may cause a larger total overflow when the return period is greater than 20 years, and also more serious waterlogging degree of a waterlogged well, but the influence decreases with return period increasing. When the storm peak position coefficient is higher, the number of overflowed wells are greater, the level of the waterlogging disaster are higher, and the waterlogged area are larger. While demonstrating the effects of storm pattern on pipe network node flood, this paper verifies the rationality of the design storm pattern of the urban central city in Chengdu, which is refer to The Hydrological Manual of Sichuan Province, and may help the work of urban drainage planning and waterlogging prevention.

    Diagnosing and evaluating the ecological environment vulnerability of drinking water source in karst area is of great significance for maintaining the water supply safety and ecological health of urban water source. Taking the drinking water source of Pushezhai and Jinquanhu in Kaili City as an example, this paper diagnoses and analyzes the ecological environment vulnerability of the study area by constructing the evaluation index system, using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model, ENVI4.8 and ArcGIS10.2 software. The results show that the ecological environment of drinking water sources is in a moderately fragile state. The moderately vulnerable area occupy the largest area, accounting for 48.97% of the total area, indicating serious ecological environmental problem. The vegetation coverage of drinking water source protection area is relatively low and unreasonable agricultural production and service activity is concentrated. The hydrometerorological function group is an important factor affecting the fragility of the ecological environment, followed by the water source pollution function group. The Euclid approach degrees of the two major drinking water sources are 0.3 307 and 0.1 218 respectively, which indicates that the ecological environment development status of the drinking water source in Pushezhai is relatively good. Finally, the countermeasures for the conservation of the ecological environment vulnerability of drinking water source are proposed.

    In this paper, the large eddy simulation method is used to simulate the pressure flow through the sluice in the upper and lower reaches. The effects of different gate bottom edge structures on the pressure distribution, flow chart, pressure time history and pressure power spectrum of the flow through the gate are systematically simulated. The results show that the low pressure zone of the bottom edge of the three groups with dip angle moves downstream towards the bottom edge of the gate, and only the first group has a negative pressure zone directly below the bottom of the gate, while the other three groups have a certain inclination angle. It can guide the flow through the gate to a certain extent. There will be three swirls at the beginning of the four gates. As time goes on, the vortex moves upstream. The first gate has no angle at the bottom edge of the gate, and there are two swirls in the backflow zone when it is finally stabilized. The other three gates have a back-and-forth tilt angle, and the last three vortices compose a large vortex, so there is only one vortex in the backflow region. This conclusion provides a basis for the study of the influence of different gate bottom edges on the swirl of water flow.

    Aiming at the problem of accidental shutdown of axial flow pumping station with siphon outlet channel under super hump condition, a mathematical model is established based on transient flow theory. Taking Jinkou pumping station as an example, the effects of shutdown speed, pre-closing opening and static head of fast gate on accidental shutdown are analyzed. The results show that the maximum water hammer pressure, reverse flow rate and reverse speed of the pump increase with the increase of closing time under the condition of super hump; the greater the degree of pre-closing the gate, the smaller the maximum water hammer pressure, the smaller the maximum reverse flow rate and the maximum reverse speed; the larger the static head, the greater the maximum water hammer pressure, the maximum reverse flow rate and the maximum reverse speed. The bigger the gate is, the more 70% of the gate is pre-closed and the gate is closed linearly for 120 seconds to prevent water hammer damage during over-hump shutdown in Jinkou Pumping Station.

    Abstract:In order to improve the hydraulic performance of volute mixed-flow pump under multi-operating conditions, this paper chooses some design parameters of volute combined with NSGA-II optimization algorithm, takes hydraulic efficiency and head as criteria, and carries out multi-objective optimization of volute of mixed-flow pump by numerical simulation technology. A set of Pareto optimal design parameters are obtained by Isight platform. Combined with the hydraulic performance comparison test, it is found that the hydraulic efficiency of the mixed-flow pump under the optimized design condition is increased by about 3.02% and the lift is increased by about 2.81% compared with the prototype pump. The high efficiency area of the mixed-flow pump is widened, and the feasibility of the optimization method is verified. From the results of internal flow field simulation, it can be concluded that the area of the eighth section of the optimized volute mixed-flow pump decreases by 1.296%, increases the setting angle of the tongue and the length of the diffuser, weakens the vortex and inverse flow phenomena at the tongue, and improves the hydrostatic pressure distribution in the volute. The results have certain reference significance for the volute design of this kind of mixed-flow pump.

    The air consumption calculation formula for one brake in Mechanical and Electrical Design Manual for Hydropower Station has defects: the calculation results are inconsistent with reality,and the actual air consumption of the generator braking system is far lower than the theoretical calculation value in the manual. The use of continuous air supply method for the selection of braking air supply equipment has many drawbacks,such as oil emulsification caused by frequent start and stop of air compressor,excessive volume of air tank and excessive capacity of air compressor resulting in equipment waste,the air tank volume and air compressor capacity do not match with each other. To solve this problem,the volume method to calculate the air consumption for one brake is carried out,and the air consumption variation range with the generator capacity is given by this paper. The formula for air tank volume and air compressor capacity is optimized and the reasonable matching relationship between them is summarized. Furthermore,the recommended value range of the air consumption for one brake for large and medium-sized pumped storage power stations is summarized in this paper. Based on an analysis of specific examples,the scientificalness and practicability of the new method and the new formula are verified here.

    There is a bulb tubular turbine installed hydropower plant having serious problems of unit vibration, which particularly results in cracks of the runner room. It needs to find out the main factors to cause hydraulic vibration of the unit so as to provide with theoretical basis for optimal operation of the plant. This paper, applying three testing means, namely model test, CFD test and prototype test, makes a research on characteristics of water pressure fluctuation and finds out the reasons of the turbine’s vibration. The results show that the main frequency of pressure fluctuation is 4X which is blade number multiplied by rotation frequency, and the vibration amplitude increases following the opening of the blade. It draws a conclusion that rotor-stator interaction is the main factor causing vibration and the fatigue failure caused by slot jet impingement is the main inducement making cracks of runner chamber.
