基于分形几何理论的河湖结构连通性评价方法

基于分形几何理论与方法,针对河湖的结构连通性,利用分形意义上的分形维数和分枝维数概念,给出了一种流域(或区域)河湖结构连通性的评价方法。运用构造的简单河网结构模型,通过计算河湖覆盖度、分形维数和分枝维数来验算和评价了常州市主城区的河湖结构连通性,并与湖西区对比,结果表明,常州市主城区的分形维数和河湖覆盖度均大于湖西区,分枝维数均在1.50左右,常州市主城区的河湖结构连通性水平高于湖西区,两者流域地貌均处于侵蚀发育阶段的壮年期。

Evaluation method of structural connectivity for rivers and lakes based on theory of fractal geometry

An evaluation method of structural connectivity for rivers and lakes in a basin or an area is provided based on the theory of fractal geometry. This study used the simple fractal model to check and evaluate the structural connectivity of rivers and lakes in the main district of Changzhou City by calculating river and lake coverage, fractal dimension and branching dimension. The results are compared with those from the West Taihu Basin. The results show that the fractal dimension and river and lake coverage in the main district of Changzhou City are greater than in West Taihu Basin, while the branching dimension is 1. 50 in both basins, which means that the structural connectivity of rivers and lakes in the main district of Changzhou City is greater than in West Taihu Basin. Both of the basins are at the mature stage of erosion development.
