    Through irrigating plant nutrient water, crop yields can be significantly improved. It is a low-cost, quick-result, easy- popularization agronomic measures. Based on the plot trials, taking the ordinary well water for irrigation as the control, through setting three additional irrigation treatments with different nutrient water irrigation quotas, the growth changes of plant and root of greenhouse cucumber are observed comparatively. The results show that plant nutrient water has a significant role in promoting cucumber plant height, stem diameter, root growth, and further significantly increases cucumber average yields and water productivity. Under the condition of the same irrigation quota, the cucumber yield in the nutrient water irrigation treatment is 1.24 times than that in the control. If the nutrient water is irrigated excessively, the more aboveground dry matter will be accumulated, while the production increase is not obvious, but also the water productivity is significantly reduced. On the contrary, if the less nutrient water is irrigated, the more underground plant roots will be accumulated, while the production will decline, but the water productivity can be significantly promoted. Thus, an appropriate irrigation amount of nutrition water is also a must.

    Abstract: The selection of the objective function is of great importance for model performance. Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (E) was the most widespread objective function in hydrological model calibration. Modified forms of E were made due to the inadequacy in NSE, which included logarithmic transformation (Eln), root squared transformation (Esqrt), absolute transformation (Eabs) and relative transformation (Erel). However, there were few studies focusing on the influence from different objective functions, such as the modified forms of E, on model performance. We used the FLEX-Topo model, taking the Upper Heihe River basin as the study site, utilizing MOSCEM-UA algorithm, to compare the model performance by setting different objective functions from the view point of the dynamic, mean absolute error and water balance. The results show that (1) the simulated flow of taking Esqrt as an objective function was the best among all of modified forms; (2) simulated flow of taking E as an objective function overestimated the high flow very much while all those of the five objective functions mentioned above underestimated the low flow; (3) the difference between the simulated flow of E and Esqrt was very small, but the correlation coefficient of Esqrt was a bit higher. In a word, Esqrt was suggested when Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency is selected as the objective function.

    It is very significant for reasoning dam service behavior according to the results of fusion analysis and achieving dam safety monitoring to determine the weight of multi-effect quantities. The dam multi-effect quantity evaluation system has the characteristics of randomness and uncertainty,so measuring the uncertainty of dam system is the premise to achieve the reasons of dam service behavior accurately. The rough degree and rough entropy are proposed to describe and measure the uncertainty of set boundary and uncertainty of knowledge respectively after using existing research results for reference based on classical rough set theory and the limitation of existing research. The improved rough entropy model of dam system uncertainty measurement is built after combining the rough degree and rough entropy organically. Finally, taking an engineering project for example,the aims of the weight calculation of dam multi-effect quantities and the reasonable reasoning of dam service behavior have been realized. A new way of thinking is provided for the dam multi-effect quantities fusion analysis and evaluation.

    Artificial sandstone joints are used for direct shear tests to study the relationship between the peak shear strength and the three-dimensional morphology parameters of sandstone joints. A new peak shear strength criterion of sandstone joint is developed based on the morphology parameters. Then, both the new criterion and Barton’s criterion are adopted to calculate peak shear strength of sandstone joint samples. By comparing the peak shear strength calculated and tested, the error square of the Barton criterion with the experimental results is 0.67, but the error square sum of the new criterion with the experimental results is 0.05. So the new criterion is proved more reasonable. Then, combined with the study on joint shear deformation by Barton and the hyperbolic function proposed by Bandis for the normal, the corresponding joint model is compiled in the three-dimensional discrete code (3DEC) with the C++ language. The uniaxial compression test and direct shear test are simulated in 3DEC with the new joint model. It is verified that the proposed model can reasonably reflect the mechanical properties of the sandstone joints.

    The oscillation of liquid body in U-type structure was studied by 2D numerical simulation in software FLUENT with Volume of Fluid model, first, use the oscillation period formula of U-tube derived by WU Chigong to verify that the results obtained by numerical simulation are reliable. Then, study the oscillation characteristics of U-type structure, the influence of cross sectional area of the upstream and downstream reaches on the oscillation period, the attenuation of amplitude and the water flow regime in the process of oscillation. The results show that, it can increase the oscillation period when increase the cross sectional area of the upstream or downstream reaches, especially increase them at the same time. When the length of the middle pressure pipe is increased to a certain degree, corresponding formula can be fitted since the impact of increasing the cross sectional area of the upstream or downstream reaches on oscillation period tends to be identical. It can also cause large flow vortexs, increase the local head loss and significantly accelerate the attenuation of water oscillation when increase the cross sectional area of the upstream or downstream reaches, especially increase them at the same time.
