Abstract: High-piled Wharf is an important type of wharf for channel, it can increase the river's ability of flood discharge, and it is suitable to be used in soft soil foundation. At present, there is less research about the relation of the length Terminal Shoreline to flow structure. And so do the width of the quay. This study obtained the distributions of flow velocity and water level under various circumstances--different width and length of high-pile wharf, with or without it. The main research results can be described as follows. (1) With the increasing of length of pile group, the velocity distribution of the same vertical line tends to distribute uniformly. (2) With the increasing of length and width of pile group, the impact was deeper in length than in width. (3) Based on the experimental data, the formula about the max of backwater height and the length and width of pile group were matched.
