Characterization of the Hydrodynamics of Fine Channel Erosion on Slopes

Abstract:

This paper reviews the results of research on the hydrodynamic characteristics of fine gully erosion, including parameters such as flow velocity, runoff depth and flow resistance. Experimental and simulation studies are carried out to address the problem of fine gully erosion in purple and loess areas, revealing the importance of fine gully erosion in hydraulic erosion. It has certain reference value for the establishment of hydrological and soil erosion modeling.
