Abstract
AbstractRiver stability is an important attribute of a river, which includes river pattern stability and river bed stability. The stability of the middle reaches of Huaihe River is one of the important problems concerned by the workers in Huaihe River regulation. The study of the stability of the middle reaches of Huaihe River is of great significance to the river regulation planning and flood prevention and control. To explore the stability of the middle reaches of Huaihe River, the research combined with hydrological data, trying to base on the theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics system to determine the stability of river pattern, and using the unit stream power calculation formula to analyze the river stability. The research show that, the middle reaches of Huaihe River from Zhengyangguan to Fushan, the river pattern of each section is in a stable state, there is no possibility of conversion in the short time. The variation amplitude of unit stream power in each reach tends to decrease, the natural evolution of the riverbed is also in a stable state. Through the research, the applicability of the river stability analysis method based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics theory in the Huaihe River is verified, and formed a set of analysis methods suitable for the stability judgment and development evolution trend of the Huaihe River. In this study, the stability of the middle reaches of the Huaihe River was judged theoretically, and the adjustment direction of the river and the evolution trend of the river bed were predicted.
