Abstract: This paper describes the general layout and water level division of Three Gorges continous threeflights lock with regulating ponds.Meanwhile the filling time of chambers and ponds during a period of2 minutes opening valves is determined by a special hydraulic model test. It shows from comparing calculated lorkage duration and capeity that the continous three-flights lock with regulating ponds hasmore advantages over the continous five-flights one.

Key words: three gorges project, lock with regulating ponds, lockage duration, lockage capacity

摘要： 本文主要介绍三峡带调节水池连续三级船闸的平面布置方式，水位划分以及通过水工模型试验实测阀门２分钟开启时各级闸室与调节水池的灌泄水时间，计算了三峡带调节水池连续三级船闸的过坝历时及通过能力，并与三峡连续五级船闸的过坝历时及通过能力进行了比较，从而论证了带调节水池船闸的优越性．
