AbstractThe Yuen Long Bypass Floodway (YLBF) was designed to collect flows from the Sham Chung River (SCR) and the San Hui Nullah (SHN) and to serve as a diversion channel of the Yuen Long Main Nullah (YLMN). Under a 200-year return period design condition, the floodway was designed (1) to divert a flow of approximately 38 m3s from the supercritical YLMN flow and (2) to convey a total combined flow of 278 m3/s to downstream within acceptable flood levels. The success of the design depends critically on complicated junction flow interactions that cannot be resolved by 1D unsteady flow models. These features include the supercritical-subcritical flow transition at the San Hui-Floodway (SHN-YLBF) junction and the diversion of part of the supercritical flow from the Main Nullah (YLMN). A laboratory Froude scale physical model was constructed to study water stages and flow characteristics in the floodway and to investigate optimal design arrangements at channel junctions and transitions. This paper summarizes the main features of the unique river junction network, in particular the use of the hydraulic jet principle at the SHN-YLBF junction to lower flood levels. In addition, a numerical flow model is employed to study flow details at the river junctions. The model is based on the general 2D shallow water equations in strong conservation form. The equations are discretized using the total variation diminishing finite-volume method which captures the discontinuity in hydraulic jumps. The numerical model predictions are well supported by the laboratory data, and the theoretical and experimental results offer useful insights for the design of urban flood control schemes under tight space constraints. © ASCE 2008.
