The compound channel divides the waterway for large and small ships by excavating two parallel
shallow water channels on both sides of the original deep water channel,which can efficiently improve the nav-
igation passage,and has a broad application prospect. Due to the compound cross section,the evolution of
waves crossing the compound channels are more complicated than the traditional single channel,which impact
on the safe navigation in compound channels and sediment transport seriously. A numerical wave tank for the
compound waterway channel of the Tianjin Port is established to simulate the evolution of orthogonal incident
waves in different section types of compound channels. The results show that the wave height increases in where
the small channel is excavated,while in the main channel is basically unchanged. As the width of the small
channel and the slope of the channel transition decreases,the wave height in the compound channel also in-
creases; and water depth ratio and wave elements have a coupling effect on wave height evolution. The shear
stress of wave boundary layer on bed in the main channel is 68. 5% of the shear stress in the small channel,
which is able to block part of the mud and the bed load to alleviate the main channel deposition.
