In recent years, due to water supply scarcity in the Chengdu Plain and increasing flood disasters in the Min River, the Moertan Reservoir was constructed to alleviate these pressures. The construction resulted in a mid‐reach embankment along the Min River that forced channel narrowing and triggered changes in channel morphology, flow and bedload transport. This study utilised field measurements coupled with physical and numerical models to simulate the resulting characteristics of flow, bedload transport and topographic change for different flood frequencies in the Dujiangyan reach following emplacement of the Moertan Reservoir. The results indicated that following extensive hydraulic regulation, the flow‐bedload transport characteristics and morphodynamics exhibited similar behaviours across different flood frequencies. The presence of a mid‐channel gravel‐cobble shoal (GCS) divided the flow into multiple branches, with the right branch systematically dominating flow and bedload transport across all flood frequencies. Further downstream, the Fish Mouth Levee effectively diverted nearly equal amounts of flow through the Inner and Outer rivers. In contrast, approximately 20% and 80% of the bedload was transported through the Inner and Outer rivers, respectively. The findings were beneficial in providing a reference for the flood season management of the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project and the maintenance of associated hydraulic engineering projects. 10.1002/hyp.15113 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
