Theoretical Investigation into Plunging Point of Density Current in Reservoir

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study of the beginning of the density current is the first formation of density current. The relation formula for gravitational correction coefficient had been derived on Taylor series. Then the explicit changing formula between Froude number and sediment concentration had been obtained. Analysis and discussion about the formula had been carried out. With the data surveyed from Xiaolangdi Reservoir had been validated on the coefficient. The results show that the formula can support Xiaolangdi reservoir for the density current design of water and sediment regulation on Yellow River.
