Patent number: 11874193Abstract: Provided is an ice avalanche-type glacial lake outburst surge generation and height measurement device. A glacial lake outburst test device includes a glacial lake simulation module and an ice avalanche surge module. An impact path, an impact angle, an impact scale, an impact velocity and a landslide density of an ice avalanche slider are controlled by simulation means. During formation of ice avalanche surges, the ice avalanche slider rushes into the glacial lake at a high speed, an ice avalanche pushes water to move in a sliding direction, thus forming a first surge, then continues to move to the bottom of the lake under the inertia and discharges a certain amount of water at its back. Movement of the landslide drives surrounding water to converge quickly into the back area, thus forming a second surge. Surge waves evolve around with a water entry point as a center.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2023Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignees: Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, CAS, Sichuan Highway Planning, Survey, Design and Research Institute LtdInventors: Huayong Chen, Yang Jia, Tao Wang, Jiangang Chen

The test flume has a foundation flume and an expansion flume. The expansion flume has a lower edge connected to an upper edge of the foundation flume. A hydraulic radius of the test flume is determined based on a model test. A width of the foundation flume is selected based on a size of the test site of the model test. A coefficient is obtained and a width of the test flume is obtained. A cross section curve equation of the expansion flume is obtained based on the hydraulic radius of the test flume, the coefficient, the width of the test flume and the width of the foundation flume. The test flume is formed based on the cross section curve equation of the expansion flume.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: INSTITUTE OF MOUNTAIN HAZARDS AND ENVIRONMENT CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Jiangang Chen, Xian Wang, Huayong Chen, Xiaoqing Chen, Jinbo Tang, Wanyu Zhao, Tao Wang, Wenrun Liu, Xinglong Gong

Publication number: 20230002991Abstract: The method for preventing and controlling glacial lake outbreak flood and related debris flows by the present invention is mainly controlling the scale of the floods by separating water and rocks and dispersing its energy step by step. The cascading amplification effects of floods can be reduced by controlling the initiation of source material with energy dissipation by using ground sills, groups of piles, and placed large stones and prefabricated artificial structures. The diversion dam built in the downstream area discharge floods in different layers, which can quickly guide water to the main river. The preconstructed engineering system can be used in a timely manner to prevent and control floods and debris flows induced by a sudden outburst of glacial lakes in areas with important facilities and inhabitants enduring the risk of natural hazards. Prevention and control systems can separate floods and debris flows and dissipate their energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2020Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: INSTITUTE OF MOUNTAIN HAZARDS AND ENVIRONMENT CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCESInventors: Jiangang CHEN, Xiaoqing CHEN, Peng CUI, Yong YOU, Huayong CHEN, Shuai LI, Jinbo TANG, Wanyu ZHAO, Lu ZNEG, Xian WANG

Publication number: 20230002992Abstract: The invention provides a method for preventing super large-scale floods and debris flows. First, the scale corresponding to certain standard floods in the watershed is evaluated based on field investigations and historical data. Second, the design standards of the system are chosen based on the prevention of super large-scale floods, and the design standard of critical control engineering is further determined. Finally, the design methods of check dams with different functional zones are proposed according to the design standards of critical control engineering. The invention allows part of the key control dam to fail under safe operating conditions of the entire system by increasing the cross-sectional areas and the flow discharges. The unbroken foundation of the dam can effectively control the channel entrainment and regulate the cross-sectional discharge. The design is helpful in mitigating giant floods and debris flows, thus protecting downstream infrastructures.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2020Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicants: INSTITUTE OF MOUNTAIN HAZARDS AND ENVIRONMENT CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, TSINGHUA UNIVERSITYInventors: Jiangang CHEN, Xiaoqing CHEN, Yifei CUI, Yong YOU, Huayong CHEN, Wanyu ZHAO, Shuai LI
