Abstract:

Haibowan Reservoir is a leading reservoir in the Inner Mongolia section of the Yellow River, and its sediment discharge effect has an important impact on the operation of the reservoir and the sediment deposition in the Inner Mongolia section of the Yellow River. The sediment discharge ratio of the reservoir is a key indicator to describe the sediment transport characteristics of the reservoir. The larger the sediment discharge ratio, the smaller the proportion of sediment in the reservoir. Based on the measured data of Haibowan Reservoir from 2014 to 2021, the characteristics of sediment discharge were analyzed, and the main factors affecting the change of sediment discharge ratio were discussed by correlation analysis. The results show that the annual average sediment discharge ratio of the reservoir is 19.35%, which is obviously smaller than the design value, and the ideal sediment discharge effect is not produced. The siltation and sediment discharge mainly occur in flood season, and the characteristics of "more coming and more discharging" are presented during large discharge period. The change of sediment discharge ratio is mainly affected by the water and sediment conditions, the operation mode of the reservoir and the topography. The sediment discharge ratio has a positive correlation with the inflow flow and the coordination of water and sediment in and out of the reservoir, and has a negative correlation with the water level in front of the dam and the flood detention time. The distribution of the reservoir topography is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, steep at the top and slow at the bottom, and the inflow of wind-blown sand in the Ulanbu Desert have a negative impact on the sediment discharge ratio. The regression analysis shows that the sediment discharge ratio in flood season is mainly affected by the flood detention time and the empirical formula for sediment discharge ratio in flood season is established. The results can provide reference for the optimization of water and sediment control in Haibowan Reservoir.

Key words: sediment discharge ratio, inflow flow, flood detention time, Haibowan Reservoir
