]d{lS&PRlg p74Nd4U$s A compound channel comprising the main channel and floodplains exists in natural rivers widely, especially in alluvial streams. It differs from a single channel in adjusting flood, cutting flood peak, transporting sediment etc. When water in the main channel flows in an out-of-bank condition and on to the adjoining floodplain, owing to abrupt change of the shape of cross section and heterogeneous boundary roughness, there are a bank of vertical vortices along the vertical interface between the main channel and its floodplain, which will result in complex variations in flow structure, flow resistance, sediment transport and fluvial processes. The study of the complex behavior of flow movement and sediment transport in compound channels is profoundly important for the basic theory of hydraulics, mechanics of sediment transport and river dynamics. The research results benefit to flood control, channel training, floodplain exploitation etc. The thesis will systematacially investigates flow resistance, mechanism of momentum transfer, conveyance capacity in non-vegetated compound channels, flow structure in a compound channels with vegetated floodplains, flow resistance and sediment transport in a self-formed one. The main contents of the thesis are as follows:

plr3&T~,&S (1) To study resistance coefficients in compound channels. This thesis analyzes and discusses the effect of cross-sectional shape on Manning’s and Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficients. By analyzing the experimental data from Science and Engineering Research Council Flood Channel Facility (SERC-FCF), the relationships between overall, zonal, local resistance coefficients and a wide range of geometries and different roughness between the main channels and its associated floodplains have been established. Moreover, the reason why the conventional methods can not assess the conveyance capacity of compound channels is analyzed. The reason is that single channel method doesn’t consider the fact the composite roughness varies with flow depth and cross-sectional division method ignores the extra resistance produced due to the momentum transfer between the main channel and floodplains, in assessing the conveyance capacity in compound channels. According to the experimental results of SERC-FCF, it is shown that the overall Darcy-Weisbach coefficient for a compound channel is the function of Reynolds number, but the function relationship is different from that for a single channel.
c% wztP;L (2) To compare and analyze the method for predicting composite roughness in compound channels. This thesis systematically sums up all kinds of different representative methods for predicting composite roughness. According to the hydraulic parameter required and whether the momentum transfer is considered or not, they can be simply classified into several groups. A vast number of experimental data and field data for compound channels are applied to check the validity of the mentioned methods. Meanwhile, the effect of the division type of cross section on the computation of composite roughness is analyzed. Any method for predicting composite roughness will result in error. Among them, Lotter method is closely related to the division type of cross section, while Einstein-Banks method is not related to that. By comparing and analyzing the above methods, it is pointed out the methods are not fit to assess the composite roughness in compound channels. The reasons why the methods result in errors are analyzed.
