摘要

Hydrodynamics and sediment transport model are generally used to simulate the evolution of natural alluvial rivers. In this paper, an explicit recursive method for sediment transport in channel network is presented. Based on hydrodynamic calculation, the method can be used to directly calculate non-equilibrium sediment transport process, involving suspended load and bed-load gradation adjustments one by one node in each river. This method avoids solving the matrix of the relationship between first and last sections, which is popular in traditional methods. A one-dimensional mathematical model with the sediment transport method is applied to the Jingjiang River-Dongting Lake region in the Three Gorges Project. Results are greatly in accord with the actual measurement. Computation cost is reduced and high accuracy is obtained in the new method. Moreover, the differences among different models of suspended load diversion in the node are discussed in the paper.
