Theoretical Study on the Confluence of Debris Flow and the Main River

Because of the high momentum of debris flow,when it confluences with the Main River,the water level in the upstream of the conjunction point will increase and a portion of sediment will deposit in the con- junction area.The discharge of downstream will be less then the summation discharge of main river and side channel,and the density of downstream will be difference from both the density of the fluid of main river and tributary.Based on momentum theory,and with the transport coefficient and deposit coefficient,the water ris- ing and sediment depositition characteristic within the conjunction area are studied.An equation that expressed by Froude number is deduced,which can reflect the hydraulic relation and confluence characteristic in the confluence area after the confluence of main river and side channel.The equation is verified with experiment data.The result shows that,if the parameters are used correctly,the calculation value is coincide with the one get from experiment.
