面向输沙过程模拟的改进流向算法OA北大核心CSTPCD

Sediment transport process in catchments is a critical research area in the fields of geomorphology and surface dynamics.Numerous researchers have applied flow direction algorithms and topographic change detec-tion to spatially infer sediment transport.However,the simple application of flow direction algorithms often leads to mass conservation issues during simulation.Therefore,an improved flow direction algorithm for sediment transport process simulation was developed.This algorithm ensures mass conservation by checking whether the sediment transport rate is negative;if it is negative,reset the rate to zero to prevent the spread of negative sedi-ment transport rates downstream.Experiments were conducted using the D8,MFD-se,and MFD-md algorithms with the proposed improvements.The results are as follows:(1)The improved flow direction algorithm successfully eliminated negative values in the simulated sediment transport rate,thereby achieving the intended purpose.(2)The performance of the improved D8 algorithm increased by 1.26%.(3)The performance of the improved MFD-se algo-rithm increased by 4.17%,considerably enhancing sediment transport process simulations.(4)The performance of the improved MFD-md algorithm increased by 4.54%,further boosting the effectiveness of the sediment trans-port process simulations.
