description | Sediment is carried by flows into lake during the formation of lacustrine deltas. The subsequent movement of sediment-laden flow is maintained by the initial momentum at the early stage of delta growth. A theoretical model of the plane jet boundary layer in the initial stage of a lacustrine delta, including the consideration of gravity action on the slope and bottom friction, was established according to characteristics of this process, and a similarity solution method was used to solve the model. A coefficient <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> was introduced that describes the characteristics of sediment-laden flow spreading along a straight line and its value is given. The theoretical expression of morphological characteristics of the initial stage was derived based on the general mathematical model of river bed evolution, and the erosion and deposition patterns were quantitatively analyzed. It was verified through experimental data that the theoretical model can be solved accurately and, can satisfactorily describe the trend in erosion and deposition and morphological characteristics of the initial stage of a delta. |
