Hydraulic Research in China
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 113, Issue 1
Abstract
The last few decades have witnessed accelerated developments in hydraulics in China. These developments were prompted by construction of large‐scale hydraulic projects and thermal power plants. A brief account of these developments is given, covering such areas of specialization as sediment transport, high‐velocity flow, river hydraulics, cooling of thermal effluents, hydraulic machinery, and hydraulic transients. In each case, selected references are given. Special attention is called to some strange flow phenomena at hyperconcentrations of sediment, innovations for the enhancement of energy dissipation, a new arrangement for the intake structure for the cooling water of thermal power plants, and mathematical modeling of alluvial rivers, with change in sediment composition taken into account.
