An indoor rainfall simulation experiment was conducted to examine the hydrodynamic
characteristics,erosion characteristics,and erosion dynamics mechanisms of earth (excluding gra-
vel) and earth-rock (gravel mass fraction 30%) Lou soil engineering accumulation in the Loess area
across different rainfall intensities and slope gradients. Results showed that the presence of gravel
changed the hydrodynamic characteristics of the engineering accumulation slope. The flow velocity,
froude number,unit stream power,and unit energy of water-carrying section of the earth-rock slope
were 1.7%-49.7%,6.7%-60.6%,2.0%-44.6% and 1.0%-26.7% lower than those of the earth
slope,while the Manning roughness coefficient and runoff shear stress of the earth-rock slope were
6.2%-169.4% and 5.7%-79.3% higher than those of the earth slope respectively. Under the inten-
sity of 2.0 and 2.5 mm·min

,erosion rate of the earth-rock slope was 26.2%-89.9% lower than
that of earth slope. The gravel significantly reduced slope erosion of the Lou soil engineering accu-
mulation. Erosion rate and hydrodynamic parameters of the two accumulations were linearly related.
The erodibility parameters of earth-rock slope were 56.1%-73.3% lower than that of earth slope. In
the critical hydrodynamic parameters,runoff shear stress of earth-rock slope was 11.1% higher,
while the stream power,unit stream power and unit energy of water-carrying section were 25.4%,
64.0% and 5.0% lower than those of the earth slope,respectively. The existence of gravel controlledrainfall erosion process on the slope of the engineering accumulation to some extent.
