Features: This book employs methods such as generalized flume experiments, remote-controlled self-propelled model boat trials on beaches, mathematical model calculations, and theoretical analysis to investigate the formation conditions and hydraulic characteristics of rapids and shoals in mountain rivers, as well as the influencing factors and hydrodynamic characteristics of boat navigation. It compares and analyzes commonly used ship resistance calculation methods, proposes the Zimovkov correction method and a new hydraulic index determination method for shoal elimination—the Power Method. The book systematically summarizes the principles and methods for remediation of rapids and shoals, as well as the analysis methods for shoal characteristics in mountain river channels. It also calculates and analyzes the remediation effects of cross-section excavation for meander-type braided channel rapids. This book can serve as a reference for technical personnel engaged in navigation channel remediation design, research, construction, and management, and can also be used as a teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering and water transport disciplines at universities.
