Preliminary Analysis of the Hydrodynamic and Siltation Characteristics Downstream of Sheyanghe Sluice

Xiang Ming Wang, Xin Zhou Zhang, Ti Lai Li, Xiang Gao

Abstract

Siltation in the rivers downstream of sluices is serious in China, making the discharge capacity of rivers decrease obviously and threatening the flood control in upper rivers. Tidal wave deformation is one conclusive dynamic factor leading to siltation downstream of sluices in estuaries. Take SheYanghe estuary as an example, the hydrodynamic characteristics of tidal wave deformation and sediment characteristics change before and after the construction of sluice are analyzed.
