扇三角洲形成过程及演变规律

应用实验沉积学的方法对扇三角洲的形成过程及演化规律进行了较为详细的研究。指出扇三角洲的形成是突发性洪流与常态水流交替作用的结果,洪水期以碎屑流或泥石流沉积为主,平水期以牵引流沉积为主。随着沉积作用的延续,在基准面下降过程中,扇三角洲形态在平面上不同步增长,展宽速率大于伸长速率,扇三角洲的形态呈边缘圆滑的舌状。辫状河道的迁移摆动是导致扇三角洲演化的根本内在原因,而构造运动的强度与辫状河道的迁移摆动速率呈近似正相关关系。湖水深度、入湖坡降、辫状河道的形态、流量变化率以及粒径大小是影响扇三角洲演化的重要因素。

缝隙坝对携带漂木的泥石流减灾效果实验研究

山洪泥石流灾害中携带漂木的情形时有发生,漂木产生的灾害效应也越来越受到关注,但现有泥石流防治工程多未考虑漂木的影响。因此,有必要对漂木存在条件下拦砂坝的调控效果进行研究。以缝隙坝为例展开模拟实验,结果表明泥石流中携带漂木时,漂木多运动在流体表面,且先于泥沙到达坝前,是否在缝隙坝开口处形成漂木堵塞体对缝隙坝前泥沙堆积体形态、泥沙流出率、漂木拦截率均有重要影响。若未形成漂木堵塞体,坝前泥沙堆积体有明显侵蚀槽,泥沙流出率较无漂木时略低;一旦形成漂木堵塞体,坝前泥沙堆积体无明显侵蚀现象,泥沙流出率显著减小,漂木总拦截率显著增大。缝隙坝对不同漂木组分的拦截效果不同,漂木长度L与缝隙开口宽度b的比值L/b越大,越容易被拦截。漂木中L/b>1的组分含量越大,漂木总拦截率越大,且L/b>1的漂木存在是形成堵塞体的关键条件。

Experimental study on the formation and development law of delta deposition in shallow and narrow water basins

This study conducted a generalized experiment of non-uniform sediment, in order to examine the formation and development laws of delta deposition in shallow and narrow water basins caused by constant water and sediment flow. A test of 425 h in duration is presented in this paper, and the results obtained from the experiment are as follows. First, the evolution process can be divided into two stages before the front of the sediment deposition reaches the outlet of the flume. In stage one, the front advancing of the deposition follows a certain cycle, and the front of the delta has an alternative development between the longitudinal advancing and lateral widening along the flume. The sediment first occurs longitudinally advancing along the water flow direction to make the front of the delta spread in the shape of a fan and lift through the constant deposition. Then, after the front deposition has been lifted, the topographical gradient along the way decelerates, which leads to the diversion water flowing toward the areas at both sides and constant lateral widening development. Next, after the lateral transport is blocked on the two side walls, the flow sediment turns back, inclines toward the central area, undergoing inclined spreading in a fan shape, and deposition lifting and development constantly occur during this process of spreading. With the increase of the test duration, the delta deposits in the area of both sides constantly undergo deposition and lifting, the water flow is centered and returned to the flume, then turns to the central area to further lift the deposition in the front of the delta through longitudinal advancing, and the above process is repeated. In stage two, the front of the delta deposition develops progressively without stagnation. Sediment constantly advances along the swinging flume, which causes the delta deposit to undergo deposition and lifting development in the swinging. Second, the paper analyzes the changes of the longitudinal advancing rate, lateral widening, and vertical deposition lifting rate shown in the two development stages of the delta. Finally, the paper analyzes the factors influencing the two development stages of the delta. The transportation of water flow and sediment is mainly controlled by three factors: the inertia of the inflow from the inlet, topography of the bed, and the side walls of the flume. In the evolution of the delta sediment deposition, the first influencing factor only acts in the initial stage, while the second and third factors are the dominating factor altering periodically in stage one, which results in the cycling of the front advancing. Meanwhile, in stage two, the evolution of the delta deposition is dominated by the other two factors.     

Flow and sediment dynamics in a low sinuosity, braided river: Calamus River, Nebraska Sandhills

The interaction between channel geometry, flow, sediment transport and deposition associated with a midstream island was studied in a braided to meandering reach of the Calamus River, Nebraska Sandhills. Hydraulic and sediment transport measurements were made over a large discharge range using equipment operated from catwalk bridges. The relatively low sinuosity channel on the right-hand side of the island carries over 70% of the water discharge at high flow stages and 50–60% at low flow stages. As a result, mean velocity, depth, bed shear stress and sediment transport rate tend to be greater here than in the more strongly curved left-hand channel. The loci of maximum flow velocity, depth and bed shear stress are near the centre of the channel upstream of the island, but then split and move towards the outer banks of both channels downstream. Variations in these loci depend on the flow stage. Topographically induced across-stream flows are generally stronger than the weak, curvature-induced secondary circulations. Water surface topography is controlled mainly by centrifugal accelerations and local changes in downstream flow velocity. The averaged water surface slope of the study reach varies very little with discharge, having values between 0·00075 and 0·00090. As bed shear stress generally varies in a similar way to mean velocity, friction coefficients vary little, normally being in the range 0·07–0·13. These values are similar to those in straight channels with sandy dune-covered beds. Bedload is moved mainly as dunes at all flow stages. Grain size is mainly medium sand with coarse sand moved in thalwegs adjacent to the cut banks, and with fine sand at the downstream end of the island. These patterns of flow velocity, depth, water surface topography, bed shear stress, bedload transport rate and mean grain size can be accurately predicted using theoretical models of flow, bed topography and sediment transport rate in single river bends, applied separately to the left and right channels. During high flow stages deposition occurs persistently near the downstream end of the island, and cut banks are eroded. Otherwise, erosion and deposition occurs only locally within the channel as discharge varies. Abandonment and filling of a strongly curved channel segment may occur by migration of an upstream bar into the channel entrance at a high flow stage.

The Mackenzie Delta: sedimentary processes and facies of a high-latitude, fine-grained delta

The Mackenzie Delta is a large fine‐grained delta deposited in a cold arctic setting. The delta has been constructed upon a flooding surface developed on a previous shelf‐phase delta. There are three principal depositional zones: the subaerial delta plain, the distributary channel mouth region and the subaqeous delta. The subaerial delta plain is characterized by an anastomosing system of high‐sinuosity channels and extensive thermokarst lake development. This region is greatly influenced by the annual cycle of seasonal processes including winter freezing of sediments and channels, ice‐jamming and flooding in the early spring and declining river stage during the summer and autumn. Deposition occurs on channel levees and in thermokarst lakes during flood events and is commonly rhythmic in nature with discrete annual beds being distinguishable. In the channel mouth environment, deposition is dominated by landward accretion and aggradation of mouth bars during river‐ and storm surge‐induced flood events. The subaqeous delta is characterized by a shallow water platform and a gentle offshore slope. Sediment bypassing of the shallow‐water platform is efficient as a result of the presence of incised submarine channels and the predominance of suspension transport of fine‐grained sediments. Facies of the shallow platform include silty sand with climbing ripple lamination. Offshore facies are dominated by seaward‐fining fine sand to silt tempestites. Sea‐ice scouring and sediment deformation are common beyond 10 m water depth where bioturbated muds are the predominant facies. The low angle profile of the shallow‐water platform is interpreted to be the combined response of a fine‐grained delta to (1) storm sediment dispersal; (2) autoretreat as a result of the increasing subaerial and subaqeous area of deposition as the delta progrades out of its glacial valley; (3) limited water depth above the underlying flooding surface; and (4) efficient nearshore bypassing of sediment through subice channels at the peak of spring discharge. Several indicators of the cold climate can be used as criteria for the interpretation of ancient successions, including thermokarst lake development, submarine channel scours, freeze–thaw deformation and ice‐scour deformation structures. Permafrost inhibits compaction subsidence and, together with the shallow‐water setting, also limits autocyclic lobe switching. The cold climate can thus influence stratal architecture by favouring the development of regional‐scale clinoform sets rather than multiple, smaller scale lobes separated by autocyclic flooding surfaces.     

再论水进型三角洲——兼论四川盆地须家河组巨厚砂层成因

上世纪80年代初笔者根据现代长江三角洲考察中发现的"海进河床充填砂体",结合其他考察资料和古代砂体特征,建立了"水进型三角洲"模式。30余年来,越来越多的资料表明这个模式是正确的。目前普遍使用的"水下分流河道",经长江三角洲、云南洱海、内蒙岱海等现代沉积考察和大量卫星照片分析表明并不存在。而据旋回地层学、层序地层学等理论分析,水进型沉积是广泛发育的,水槽模拟实验也证实有水进期三角洲发育,因此笔者认为应以水进河床砂微相取代现今普遍误用的水下分流河道砂微相。四川盆地须家河组的须二、四段巨厚且大面积分布的砂岩是由三角洲平原各分支河道(分支河道砂)、前缘河口进积型(河口坝砂)和退积型沉积(水进河床砂)反复叠加,加上河道侧向迁移摆动与各个三角洲体相互拼接连片而成的。水进型三角洲多形成于湖、海水面上升期,地壳运动、气候变化、特殊地质事件、地形地貌以及沉积速率等都可能引起水面升降,当水面上升时常常形成水进型沉积。     

鄱阳湖浅水三角洲沉积体系三维定量正演模拟

以鄱阳湖现代浅水三角洲沉积体系为例, 应用三维正演地层模拟软件Sedsim, 在参考前人研究的基础上, 首次将湖盆底部地形、湖(海)平面变化、沉积物注入量及注入方式、气候、沉积物供给速率等动力要素结合在一起, 对该浅水三角洲沉积体系的形成过程及1200年以来的演化进行定量正演模拟, 并采用历史和野外数据对鄱阳湖现代浅水三角洲沉积模型进行约束和校正.模拟结果表明, 鄱阳湖浅水三角洲沉积体系的发育是湖盆地形、湖平面变化、物源供给等多因素作用的综合结果.在该三角洲沉积体系中, 由于水体较浅、沉积底形坡度平坦且基准面变化频繁, 三角洲前缘发育的砂体基本上以席状砂为主, 并主要分布于湖区敞流通道附近.湖平面之上的三角洲平原河道发育与改道的现象主要受湖平面变化速率的影响, 即基准面缓慢上升期间和基准面快速下降期间, 河道发育的现象较明显.该模拟结果不仅能够对大型浅水三角洲的内部特征及形成过程有着更直观的认识, 而且也为今后研究不同地区相似的三角洲沉积体系的形成过程提供了可借鉴的分析模型与理论依据.

Facies characteristics of Middle Pleistocene (Saalian) ice-margin subaqueous fan and delta deposits,glacial Lake Leine,NW Germany

The blocking of major river valleys in the Leinebergland area by the Early Saalian Scandinavian ice sheet led to the formation of a large glacial lake, referred to as “glacial Lake Leine”, where most of the sediment was deposited by meltwater. At the initial stage, the level of glacial Lake Leine was approx. 110 m a.s.l. The lake level then rose by as much as 100 m to a highstand of approx. 200 m a.s.l.Two genetically distinct ice-margin depositional systems are described that formed on the northern margin of glacial Lake Leine in front of the retreating Scandinavian ice sheet. The Bornhausen delta is up to 15 m thick and characterized by a large-scale tangential geometry with dip angles from 10°–28°, reflecting high-angle foreset deposition on a steep delta slope. Foreset beds consist of massive clast-supported gravel and pebbly sand, alternating with planar-parallel stratified pebbly sand, deposited from cohesionless debris flows, sandy debris flows and high-density turbidity flows. The finer-grained sandy material moved further downslope where it was deposited from low-density turbidity currents to form massive or ripple-cross-laminated sand in the toeset area.The Freden ice-margin depositional system shows a more complex architecture, characterized by two laterally stacked sediment bodies. The lower part of the section records deposition on a subaqueous ice-contact fan. The upper part of the Freden section is interpreted to represent delta-slope deposits. Beds display low- to high-angle bedding (3°–30°) and consist of planar and trough cross-stratified pebbly sand and climbing-ripple cross-laminated sand. The supply of meltwater-transported sediment to the delta slope was from steady seasonal flows. During higher energy conditions, 2-D and 3-D dunes formed, migrating downslope and passing into ripples. During lower-energy flow conditions thick climbing-ripple cross-laminated sand beds accumulated also on higher parts of the delta slope.
