Morphometric elements of the channel and hydraulic flow parameters in the zone of the river backwater

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the dynamics of the morphometry of the river bed and the hydraulic parameters of the flow under conditions of flow regulation. For the analysis of the dynamics of the bed morphometry and hydraulic elements of the flow, the Nietbaitas hydro-array located in the zone of the sub-flow of the lower reaches of the Amudarya river in Uzbekistan was selected. As a result of the analysis of data from long-term field studies and hydrometric measurements at the Nietbaitas hydrostorm of the Amudarya river, functional relationships were established between the morphometric elements of the channel and the hydraulic parameters of the flow. The dynamics of the Chezy coefficient, hydraulic resistance, and the roughness coefficient of the channel in conjunction with the hydrodynamic characteristic of the flow are established. Adapted formulas are recommended for determining the calculated values of the Chezi coefficients, roughness, and average flow velocity, taking into account the decelerating effect of the banks of the Amudarya river bed
