简介:大木质的碎片(LWD)减少流动区域,背离流动和增加在桥墩的通讯的速度,因此增加最大值搜索洞深度并且加速沉积移动。在桥墩上积累的木头和飘移具有不同尺寸。根据木头特征和河形态学,飘移累积也能下游地扩大桥墩或他们能积累完全在上游。这份报纸试图在桥牌上分析飘移累积测面积池的效果墩搜索。试验性的调查在土木工程部门的PITLAB水力的中心被执行了,比萨的大学,意大利。飘移累积被不同相对纵的长度,流动区域吸藏,一些纵的飘移和下游的planimetrical位置相对墩中心描绘。试验性的调查处于清楚水的条件被执行了。几种墩尺寸,隧道宽度和沉积材料被测试了。最大在累积与最大值相比的飘移的存在搜索洞为孤立的墩搜索洞。最后,数据与以前的文学调查结果相比,它在桥牌上加亮飘移累积的下游的延期的效果墩搜索。新关系被建议了在桥码头上预言飘移累积的效果搜索,两个以相对最大值搜索并且时间搜索进化。
