什么是 Discharge?

Definition 8.2 High School Earth and Space Sciences · 第 8 章 — Drainage Basins, Rivers and Floods

The discharge of a river at a point is the volume of water that passes through a cross-section of the river in one second. It is measured in cubic metres per second, m3/s\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}.

Example 8.5 (A gauging)

In the stream of the figure, the five strips, each 2 m2\,\mathrm{m} wide, have areas 2×0.4=0.82 \times 0.4 = 0.8, 2.02.0, 2.82.8, 2.22.2 and 1.0 m21.0\,\mathrm{m}^{2}: the cross-section is 8.8 m28.8\,\mathrm{m}^{2}. Their discharges are 0.3×0.8=0.240.3 \times 0.8 = 0.24, 0.6×2.0=1.200.6 \times 2.0 = 1.20, 0.8×2.8=2.240.8 \times 2.8 = 2.24, 0.7×2.2=1.540.7 \times 2.2 = 1.54 and 0.4×1.0=0.40 m3/s0.4 \times 1.0 = 0.40\,\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}, so the stream carries Q≈5.6 m3/sQ \approx 5.6\,\mathrm{m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}. The mean velocity is 5.62/8.8≈0.64 m/s5.62/8.8 \approx 0.64\,\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}, less than the 0.8 m/s0.8\,\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s} of the middle of the stream.
