  • Description: Tank Model is a kind of simulation of rainfall movement in soil horizon. With the runoff and piping rate, the peak discharge could be effectively calculated. Having 17 rain gauge stations in 13 debris flow events during 1996-2010 as the studied cases, the peak discharge at 12 control points along Chenyulan River is simulated. Furthermore, the data in Neimaopu discharge station is established parameters of Tank Model to estimate the peak discharge in Shenmu Village. By comparing with the parameters of Shueili Station and Japanese Granite, the mean error of the parameter in this study is 51.0%, which is better than those of Japanese Granite 189% and Shueili discharge stations 251%. The parameter in this study appears the highest in allowance analysis, showing that it is more suitable for simulating the peak discharge than the other two. In spite that the percentage of the three parameters is still low, Shenmu Village could be ignored as it locates in the sub-basin of Chenyulan River with few factors. The parameters of Tank Model are applied to transform average rainfall into hydrograph so as to solve the problem of no discharge records when analysing the areas with various debris flow simulation programs.
