Contribution of waves and currents to sediment resuspension in the Yellow River Delta

The objective of this study was to investigate that the effects of different hydrodynamic conditions on sediment resuspension on a tidal mudflat in the Yellow River Estuary. A field experiment was conducted on an intertidal flat of the Yellow River Delta, China. The sediment resuspension concentrations and hydrodynamic conditions were obtained in the field from September 2–7, 2013. The resuspended sediment concentrations induced by wave loading were compared with those induced by coupled wave–current actions in Yellow River Delta. The results were as follows: (1) when the wave height was higher than 10?cm and the shear stress induced by the waves was greater than the critical stress of the seabed sediments, the surface seabed was eroded and sediment was resuspended. In addition, 60% of the significant wave heights were larger than 10?cm on the intertidal flat of the Yellow River Delta. (2) The contribution of waves to sediment resuspension was greater than 30% when the significant wave height is higher than 10?cm, and the average contribution of waves to sediment resuspension was 51%. The mechanism of wave-induced sediment resuspension and processes of sediment resuspension were described in this paper.

Numerical study of three-dimensional wave-induced longshore current's effects on sediment spreading of the Huanghe River mouth

A three-dimensional wave radiation stress is introduced into the hydrodynamic sediment coupled model COHERENS-SED,which has been developed through introducing wave-enhanced bottom shear stress,wave dependent surface drag coefficient,wave-induced surface mixing,SWAN,damping function of sediment on turbulence,sediment model and depth-dependent wave radiation stress to COHERENS.The COHERENS-SED is adopted to study the effects induced by wave-induced three-dimensional longshore current on suspended sediment spreading of the Huanghe River (Yellow River) mouth.Several different cases divided by setting different wave parameters of inputting boundary waves are carried out.The modeling results agree with measurement data.In terms of simulation results,it is easy to know that three-dimensional wave radiation stress plays an obvious role when inputting boundary wave height is stronger than 3 m.Moreover,wave direction also affects the sediment spreading rules of the mouth strongly too.

Modeling of suspended sediment transport with waveinduced longshore current in Huanghe (Yellow) River Delta

A three-dimensional suspended sediment model(SED)developed by the present authors is coupled with the combinatorial model of COHERENS(Luyten et al.,1999) (the three-dimensional coupled hydrodynamical-ecological model for Regional and Shelf Seas) and SWAN(Holthuijsen et al.,2004) (the third generation wave model).SWAN is regarded as a subroutine of COHERENS and gets time-and space-varying current velocity and surface elevation from COHERENS.COHERENS gets time-and space-varying wave relevant parameters provided by SWAN.Effects of wave on current are applied in bottom shear stress,wave-induced depth-dependent radiation stress and surface drag coefficient calculation.At the same time,the damping function of suspended sediment on turbulence is introduced into COHERENS.So the sediment model SED has feed back on circulation model COHERENS.The SED obtains current as sociated parameters from COHERENS.Then a couple dhydrodynamic-sediment model COHERENS-SED being able to account for interaction between wave and current is obtained.COHERENS-SED is adopted to simulate three-dimensional suspended sediment transport in the Huanghe River delta.In terms of simulation results,there is obvious diffierence between top and bottom layer of wave-induced longshore current.The values of time series of sediment concentration gotten by COHERENS-SED have,generally,an accepted agreement extent with measurement.Significant wave heights and wave periods obtained by COHERENS-SED show that wave simulation case with current’s effect can give better agreement extent with measurement than case without current’s effect.In the meantime,suspended sediment concentration distributing rule obtained by COHERENS-SED is similar to former researches and measurement.

利用被动示踪物模拟对黑潮入侵南海的数值研究

由于缺少观测数据和对黑潮水准确定义,很难识别出从太平洋入侵到南海的黑潮水团。本文基于一个经过观测验证的三维模式MITgcm,利用被动示踪物标记黑潮水,研究了入侵南海的黑潮水的时空变化。研究表明,在冬季,黑潮水入侵的范围最广,几乎占据了18°N-23°N和114°E-121°E的区域;并有一个分支进入台湾海峡;黑潮入侵的范围随深度增加逐渐减小。在夏季,黑潮水被限制在118°E以东,且没有分支进入台湾海峡;入侵的范围从海面到约205米是增大的,之后随深度增加逐渐减小。通过分析从2003年到2012年黑潮入侵的年际变化,与厄尔尼诺年和正常年相比,冬季黑潮入侵后向台湾海峡的分支在拉尼娜年是最弱的,这可能与中国大陆东南方向的风应力旋度有关。通过吕宋海峡的黑潮入侵通量（KIT）是西向的,其年平均值约为-3.86×10⁶ m³/s,大于吕宋海峡通量（LST,约-3.15×10⁶ m³/s）。250米以上的KIT约占了全深度通量的60-80%。此外,从2003年到2012年KIT与Niño 3.4指数的相关系数到达0.41,小于LST与Niño 3.4指数的相关系数0.78。

基于遥感反演的珠江河口表层悬沙浓度分位数趋势分析 *

利用中分辨率成像光谱仪(moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer, MODIS)一级产品并结合航次数据, 反演2003—2015年间珠江河口表层悬浮泥沙浓度(suspended sediment concentration, SSC), 分析其分位数长期变化趋势并探讨其影响因素。结果表明, 珠江河口SSC呈总体下降趋势, 平均下降速率约为1.03mg·L ^-1·yr ^-1。口门外以及河口东北部区域平均SSC下降更快, 最高可达约4.0mg·L ^-1·yr ^-1。总体上, 珠江河口SSC高值下降速率大于低值, 且存在空间差异性。低值下降趋势显著地区主要分布在淇澳岛北部的口门外区域, 其SSC大小值之间的差异逐年增加; 而高值下降速率快的地区主要分布在虎门口、龙穴岛东南岸以及东航道附近水域, SSC每年大小值差异呈减小趋势。珠江河口SSC分位数趋势受径流输沙量、河口地形变化以及风的影响。由水库修建所致的上游输沙量减少导致淇澳岛北部口门外区域SSC的低值部分显著下降。虎门口、龙穴岛东南岸以及东航道附近水域的加深使得这些区域SSC高值部分下降显著, 而西滩区域的变浅使得冬季潮汐混合减弱, 导致SSC高值部分下降趋势显著。此外, 由风速下降引起的表层风混合减弱也是导致西滩南部SSC高值下降趋势显著的原因之一。

The effect of suspended sediment concentration on the settling velocity of cohesive sediment in quiescent water

A laboratory study was carried to qualitatively investigate the effect of suspended sediment concentration C on the settling velocity w_s of cohesive sediment in quiescent water. A bay mud sample was mixed with water in a cylindrical container, and three optical back scatterance sensors were then used to measure suspended sediment concentrations of the mud–water mixture at three levels every 15 s for 5 h while sediments were settling in the quiescent water. Based on the measured sediment concentrations, the settling velocities at different concentrations were derived from the depth-integrated mass balance equation. This study has found that the settling velocity w_s is independent of C in the free settling regime of C<0.3 g/l, and then increases nonlinearly with C in the enhanced settling regime of 0.3<C<4.3 g/l, and finally decreases sharply with C in the hindered settling regime of C>4.3 g/l. The maximum settling velocity occurs at C≈4.3 g/l and is about nine times faster than the settling velocity in the free settling regime. A single empirical formula is also proposed to calculate the settling velocities at different sediment concentrations.

黄河口挑河河口悬沙分布与输移特征研究

基于实测资料对黄河废弃河道挑河河口段的悬沙分布及输移特点进行了研究。结果表明:挑河河口段悬沙浓度与潮流流速正相关,风浪作用则导致悬沙质量浓度大大提高;在空间尺度上悬沙浓度呈河口高、河道上游低的特点;挑河河口附近,涨潮流输沙明显占优势,向河道内侧,悬沙输移率有所降低,且逐渐转变为落潮输沙占优势。结合河口外侧海域冲淤演变趋势以及悬沙输运动力机制,认为河口段河道总体处于弱淤积状态,而风浪作用可以加速河道淤积。本研究可为挑河的河口演变和航道整治等提供参考。     

潮汐和潮流影响下苏北辐射沙洲海域波浪模拟分析

基于第三代海浪模型SWAN,采用自嵌套的方法提供谱边界条件,对影响苏北辐射沙洲海域的一次冷空气过程和一次台风过程作用下的波浪进行了模拟。考虑到沙洲海域强潮水动力环境,分析了潮位和潮流的变化对该海域波浪的影响。结果表明,沙洲处波高和波周期受潮位影响显著,受潮流影响弱,具有潮周期起伏的特点,而波向受潮位潮流影响不显著;考虑高潮位后,以弶港为界,南北辐射沙洲波高显著增加的区域与波浪传播方向有关:波浪由北向南传播,相差不大,波浪由东向西传播,北部明显大于南部。     

黄河三角洲潮滩高浓度悬浮沉积物的控制因素

黄河口潮滩以其悬浮沉积物浓度高而闻名。但是,目前对其高浓度悬浮沉积物的控制因素和来源的了解尚不清晰。因此,本文基于黄河口潮滩上为期7天的水动力(水深,波高和水流速度)和悬浮沉积物浓度观测,对黄河口潮滩不同海况下悬浮沉积物的控制因素和来源进行分析。数据显示,在大部分时间里,黄河口潮滩处于1级海况下(波高小于0.1m),SSC的变化范围为0.1-3.5 g/L,潮流的沉积物输运为悬浮沉积物的主要来源。但是,当水动力作用增强并且导致海底发生大规模侵蚀时,再悬浮沉积物成为了悬浮沉积物的主要来源,水体中的悬浮沉积物浓度可达到17.3 g/L。我们发现悬浮泥沙通量主要受平流输运的控制,而波浪引起的切应力也可通过影响悬浮泥沙浓度影响悬浮泥沙通量的变化。在观测期间, 1级海况下,流致再悬浮沉积物浓度(RSC)大于波致RSC。与此相反,在2级海况下,波致RSC大于流致RSC,例如,在观测期间出现的单个波浪事件导致6小时内海床被侵蚀了11.8 cm。该研究揭示了河控河流三角洲潮滩附近高悬浮沉积物浓度的不同控制因素,并有助于我们更好地了解三角洲的沉积和侵蚀机制。     

波浪作用下细颗粒泥沙起动试验研究

长江口北槽中下段滩面泥沙以粉砂和极细砂为主,在风浪条件下极易起动,形成近底高浓度含沙层,成为航道淤积的重要泥沙来源。采用长江口北槽中下段滩面现场泥沙,进行了波浪作用下泥沙的起动试验研究。试验结果表明:相同水深条件下,波浪周期越长,泥沙的起动波高越小;相同波浪周期条件下,水深越大,泥沙起动波高越大;对于自然密实1天的泥沙,波浪作用下的起动临界剪切力平均约为0.325 N/m2。本次试验结果和已有的波浪起动公式计算结果以及已有的试验结果进行了比较分析,结果均比较一致。

基于2012~2014年期间江苏近岸海域实测遥感反射率、悬浮泥沙浓度及HJ CCD数据,建立该海域HJ CCD影像悬浮泥沙遥感反演模型。通过研究水体实测反射光谱特征,确定对悬浮泥沙浓度变化的敏感波段,并与悬浮泥沙浓度进行函数拟合分析。结果表明:将HJ CCD Band3的等效遥感反射率、HJ CCD Band3与Band2等效遥感反射率的比值分别作为敏感因子,并采用对数函数模拟低值区、指数函数模拟高值区获得的叠加模型表现最为突出。通过卫星应用发现,第2、3波段比值模型的遥感反演结果与实际情况相符,可有效削弱大气校正、表观反射率到遥感反射率的转换方法以及HJ CCD辐射分辨率较低等一系列问题的干扰,为江苏近岸海域HJ CCD悬浮泥沙遥感反演的最优模型。
