Temporal and Spatial Correlation Analysis of Sudden Drought and Flood Changes During Tobacco Growth in Guizhou Province by PENG Gaohui, LIU Zhentao, WANG Chao, XU Chenhui, WU Lijuan, ZHANG Zezhong

“…The results show that: During tobacco growth period, sudden changein long-period is mainly from drought to flood, and decreased gradually from westto east, the annual change curve of LDFAI intensity decreased at the rate of0.109/(10a), and the extremely sudden drought and flood events tend to decrease;Sudden drought and flood change occurs frequently in short period, the numberof drought to flood and flood to drought events is equal from May to June, theflood to drought occurs mainly from June to July, and the drought to flood occursmainly from July to August, the number of strong drought to flood events isgreater than that of strong flood to drought events, but the intensity isdecreased; Except for the eastern region, other regions and cities have astrong linkage between drought to flood and flood to drought, especially thecities with confidence of 100% will go through sudden drought and flood changeat the same time, so they should take the same preventive measures in advance.Theanalysis results provide a favorable help for tobacco farmers in flood control anddrought relief.…”

Influences of Depth of the Falling-sill on the Flow State Conversion of Underflow Hydraulic Jump by LIU Yiheng, QIU Yong, ZHOU Xinyu, HE Yunqiu, WU Siheng

“…In restricted topographic conditions,a falling-sill can be set at the end of the discharge chute for the spillway.The length of the dissipation pool is shortened by increasing the flow velocity attenuation along the way of the jet,or increasing the sudden expansion ratio of the stilling pool at the same time.The energy is further dissipated by increasing the internal turbulence of the water body through the plane reverse flow.Based on the existing mechanism of jet diffusion,the flow state conversions of underflow energy dissipation without falling-sill,sudden expansion underflow energy dissipation and energy dissipation of rectangular stilling well are studied.The results show that:①the forced water jump submerged criterion of underflow energy dissipation without falling-sill is between 1.00~1.20,and sudden expansion underflow energy dissipation and energy dissipation of rectangular dissipation well can be distinguished by the critical submerged criterion.②When the angle of the incident water flow remains unchanged,the Froude number (Fr) increases,and the energy dissipation of rectangular stilling well is transformed into sudden expansion underflow energy dissipation under the same depth of falling-sill;when the Froude number remains unchanged,the angle of the incident water flow (θ) increases,and the depth of falling-sill needs to be increased to maintain energy dissipation of rectangular stilling well.In other words,the change in depth of falling-sill can be applied to influence the flow state conversion and effectively reduce the length of the energy dissipater in the direction of water flow.…”
