摘要: Accurately describing the soil erosion process is crucial for improving the accuracy of existing simulation models of ephemeral gully erosion. However, a laboratory experimental strategy for simulating sediment distribution along slope lengths of an ephemeral gully is lacking. This limitation greatly hinders the development of simulation models for ephemeral gully erosion. In this study, we constructed six soil flumes with 12 m in length, 0.1 m in width, and 0.5 m in depth, which were filled with cultivated loess soils. Four flow rates (5.33, 10.67, 21.33, and 42.67 × 10−3 m3 s−1 m−1), four slope gradients (5°, 10°, 15°, and 20°), and six gully lengths (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 m) were adopted to perform a series of laboratory scouring experiments. The measured sediment concentrations at the outlet ranged from 23.39 kg m−3 to 534.60 kg m−3. The trend of exponential increase in sediment concentrations along slope lengths of an ephemeral gully was similar to that observed in a rill. According to the fitting equation, the maximum sediment concentrations (Ae) ranged from 358.05 kg m−3 to 910.88 kg m−3. The attenuation coefficients (Be) indicated the rate of increase in sediment load with slope length, which ranged from 0.042 m−1 to 0.185 m−1. By combining the measured sediment loads along the slope length (8 m) with the sediment transport capacity, the sediment distribution along slope lengths of an ephemeral gully could be accurately quantified. Moreover, the results confirmed that a flume with a short slope length (4/6 m) could effectively determine the sediment distribution along slope lengths at gentle slope of 5° and 10°. However, a minimum length of 8 m was advisable at steep slope of 15° and 20°. In summary, our experimental strategy provides an efficient method for determining the sediment distribution along slope lengths of an ephemeral gully. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
