Experimental Study on Driftwood Flowing Into an Anti-Flood Pond and Countermeasure Against Inpouring Driftwood

Key Points

• The aim is to assess driftwood inflow and effectiveness of water control measures in anti-flood ponds.
• Conducted driftwood inflow experiments using a model of an anti-flood pond.
• Evaluated driftwood inflow rates based on the number of driftwood pieces entering the pond.
• Tested the effectiveness of water surface barriers under varying conditions of barrier number, transparency, and spacing.
• Identified conditions that minimize driftwood inflow rate to the pond.
• Measured trajectories of driftwood to pinpoint areas of concentrated inflow.
