From the Viewpoint of Water-Sediment Characters to Approach the General Criteria for Waterway Regulating with Complex Shoals

Compared with each other of existed schemes and effects of the waterway regulating with complex shoals, from the viewpoint of water-sediment interacting evolutional properties and their effects on complex shoals of waterway, the results show that, the evolutional processes of channel morphology observe the principles of maximum entropy in equilibrium state and minimum entropy production rate in non-equilibrium state, in energy words, it is the minimum energy dissipation rate. The vortex moving dominates the sediment transport. From the practical engineering viewpoint, the general criteria for waterway regulating with complex shoals were investigated, the results may be valuable to regulating study of the mountain rivers.
