Biography

Hu Chunhong is mainly engaged in theoretical and applied research in sediment movement mechanics, river bed evolution and river regulation. He has been long engaged in the theoretical research and engineering application of mechanics of sediment movement, riverbed evolution and river channel rectification, as well as engineering sediment, etc. He has established the systematic theory, model and technologies for river sediment regulation, solving multiple engineering and technical difficulties in river regulations, including the stability and treatment of flow path at Yellow River estuary, the treatment of shrinking channel of middle reach of Yellow River, the optimal operation of Sanmenxia Project, the integrated regulation of reservoirs in upstream Yellow River and the siltation reduction, the sediment simulation and regulation of Three Gorges Reservoir and its downstream river channels, the river channel rectification and dike construction for water transfer of Tarim River, as well as the sediment treatment of Guanting Reservoir and the restoration of water transfer from this reservoir to Beijing Municipality. Hu Chunhong has also conducted the study on the evolution of relation between the Yangtze River and the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake in the river basin, the evolvement mechanism and trend prediction of water and sediment in the Yellow River catchment area, as well as the runoff changes and adaptive utilization of major river sources in Southwest China.
