Optimizing Study on Navigation Condition of the Outlet of Water Diversion Navigation Project from Yangtze River to Hanjiang River

The studies have been made on the layout and navigation condition at the outlet section of Water Diversion Navigation Project from Yangtze River to Hanjiang River based on the method with integration of models such as stream physics, remote controlled self-propelled ship, stream mathematics and ship manipulation movement mathematics. At first, it is introduced design proposal of navigation project for entrance of lower reach under the Gaoshibei ship lock section and merging estuary with Hanjiang estuary and then the detail analysis is made on various factors of the design proposal affecting the navigation conditions. Finally, it suggested optimizing layout satisfactory to the safety navigation through improvement of navigation conditions with adopted many engineering measures to the deficiency of design proposal on the navigation conditions.
