Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In some natural levee zones in the middle reaches of gravel bed rivers in Japan, the relatively rapid decrease of river width due to deposition of fine sediment materials after channel excavation was frequently observed. The non-equilibrium state of sediment supply was assumed to be a factor of that rapid decrease of channel width, and it was investigated through observation, experiment and numerical analysis. Numerical models were developed to describe the mechanisms of fine-grained sediment deposition, which were caused by the wash-load transport according to the characteristics of the watershed scale and the sand deposition according to the physical mechanisms of the reach and local scales. The basic knowledge was obtained for understanding the physical mechanisms at the micro scale around micro scale vegetated regions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、流域スケールから、草本群落などの植生域のスケールまでの階層的な対象にわたって、砂分および細粒分を含む細粒土の土砂動態が河川景観の変遷に与える影響を解明し、その定量的評価手法について数値解析モデルを基礎として構築した。従来、河道内の細粒土については、河川管理上の取り扱いが確立していなかったが、上記モデルを適用することで水理学的考察に基づく理解が可能となり、河道の植生管理についても物理的知見に基づく工学的な対応が可能となることが期待される。
