通过野外观察研究,在黄河中游晋陕峡谷永和县佛堂村(FTC)支沟口的回水湾内发现了全新世古洪水滞流沉积物。结合沉积学分析,判定它们是典型的全新世古洪水悬移质泥砂颗粒在高水位滞流环境中的沉积物。利用"古洪水SWD厚度含沙量法"恢复古洪水洪峰水位,借助HEC-RAS模型估算出4次古洪水事件洪峰流量在25 200~51 500 m3·s-1之间。OSL测年结果显示,FTC地点的古洪水发生在1 900~1 700 a BP、3 400~3 000 a BP。全新世气候变化研究表明,这两个时期气候恶化,旱涝灾害多有发生。FTC地点的两期四次洪水反映了这两个时期的气候异常变化成果,表明了黄河中游水文系统对气候变化作出的响应,也印证了季风区河流对气候突变的响应规律,为黄河中下游地区防洪减灾和水资源开发提供了基础数据。
Palaeoflood slackwater deposit is a major evidence used for inference about hydrological parameters of the past flood events. This fine-grained sediment is deposited at high flood stage from suspended load in overbank floodwater. Palaeoflood hydrological investigations were carried out at the Matouguan Reach of the middle Yellow River,Yonghe County,Shanxi Province,China. Four bedsets of palaeoflood slackwater deposits of the Holocene and palaeoflood indicators were found in backwater at FTC profile of the river. Palaeoflood SWD was identified by a variety of scientific sedimentological criteria such as color and structure obtained during field investigations. And the characteristics and hydrology parameters of sediment profile were also observed in the field work in order to provide data for hydrological recovery. Then these sedimental samples were analyzed on characteristics including particle-size distribution,magnetic susceptibility and loss on ignition. In conclusion,these samples were topical Holocene palaeoflood slackwater deposits in high water level stagnation environment. The peak stage of the sediment was recovered by the thickness and elevation,which were 527.34 m,526.35 m,521.28 m and 520.59 m. Sixteen cross-sections were selected at each site in one kilometer along the river reach. The estimated results obtained with HEC-RAS model indicate that the palaeoflood peak discharges were between 26 050~51 600 m3·s-1. The validation results of the relationship between the ancient flood peak discharge and the basin area show that the results simulated in this paper are reasonable,indicating that the peak discharge of the Holocene palaeoflood in the Matouguan Reach of the middle Yellow River which was simulated by the HEC-RAS is scientific and reasonable. The sensitivity test of the model shows an error between-11%-9.40% with the same hydrological parameters,indicating that HEC-RAS model is more reliable than the slope-area methods. These four bedsets slackwater deposits recorded the extraordinary floods happ
