Abstract
In this pater, we present a study on the riverbed structure and sediment density in-situ test by using sub-bottom profiler. Compared with traditional direct observation methods, the sub-bottom profiler method based on sonar technology is non-contact, low-disturbance and high-efficient. We finish the investigation of several sections in Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi reservoirs, which located on the main channel of lower reaches of Yellow River. Collected data show a detailed layered structure of the riverbed sediment which believed caused by sedimentary processes in different periods. Further more, we analyse the reflection coefficient of water-sediment interface and inverse the sediment density data from the raw wave record. The inversion method is based on the effective density fluid model and Kozeny-Carman formula. The comparison of the inversion results and sample tests shows that the in-situ test is reliable and useable.
