为探索河口海岸地区水流和盐度共同作用对黏性泥沙絮凝沉降的影响,以泥沙浓度和絮团粒径为参数,采用自制的同轴旋转双筒产生运动水流和外加电解质的方法,研究6个水流强度（0 s-1、1.38 s-1、2.54 s-1、4.67 s-1、7.19 s-1、13.2 s-1和20.3 s-1）和3种电解质（NaCl、CaCl₂、AlCl₃）作用下的黏性泥沙絮凝沉降过程。试验结果表明:① 水流对黏性泥沙絮凝沉降的影响与其强度相关。低强度水流（水流强度小于4.67 s-1）表现为初期促进、中后期阻碍的规律;高强度水流则由于强水流剪切力和自上而下的紊动掺混作用始终起阻碍作用。② 电解质的存在将分别增强和减弱高、低强度水流所起作用;相同浓度下,当阳离子化合价从+1价变成+3价时,水流的影响作用更明显,尤其体现在稳定段。     

水力紊动条件对泥沙絮体分形结构的影响

在含沙量为85 kg/m3的悬浊液中投加阳型高分子聚合物,改变水力紊动条件:剪切速率(r)或速度梯度(G)与剪切时间(t),借助沉降技术、图像分析技术及分形特性定量表征参数“分维”探讨了架桥絮体结构的演变规律,得出分形结构达最佳状态时的水力紊动强度(Gt)值存在两个临界值:快速絮凝阶段和慢速絮凝阶段。实验发现,不同含沙量架桥絮体分形结构致密度最高时所需的最佳Gt值相近。含沙量越低,r或G值应降低,t值增加,分维值降低。另外,相同含沙量无机混凝剂絮体与高分子架桥絮体分形结构达最佳时,前者所需Gt值高,对应的G值低,t需延长,絮体平均质量分维(D₃)值高,但絮体结构脆弱。

固体停留时间对HLB-MR反应器直接回收城市污水中有机物的影响

为优化高负荷生物絮凝-膜反应器（HLB-MR）的工艺参数,提高其资源化城市污水的效能,采用平行对比实验,考察了不同固体停留时间（t_SR）条件下反应器的有机物去除效率、生物絮凝效果、有机物回收效果和膜污染情况。结果表明：在t_SR分别为0.2、0.6、1.0 d时,HLB-MR反应器有机物去除效率均在85%以上,其出水化学需氧量（COD）质量浓度均保持在30 mg/L左右;反应器内的生物絮凝效果随着t_SR的延长而增强,其胶体COD絮凝效率从t_SR为0.2 d时的66%增加到t_SR为1.0 d时的95%,与此同时,有机物的矿化损失率也逐渐增加,从t_SR为0.2 d时的6.9%增加到t_SR为1.0 d时的10.5%,总COD的回收率逐渐降低;反应器内浓缩液的膜污染潜势随着t_SR的延长逐渐缓解,这与较长t_SR条件下反应器内胞外聚合物（EPS）产量较高、生物絮凝效果较好、微细颗粒（0~1 μm）的颗粒浓度较低有关。经过综合对比分析,0.6 d为反应器较优的t_SR参数,在该条件下,胶体COD的絮凝效率高达90%,膜污染程度较轻;总COD的矿化损失率低至7.4%,总COD的回收率（忽略膜清洗时有机物损失）可高达80%以上。     

瞬时排放泥沙颗粒团在横流中对流扩散特性的实验研究

河道维护、航道开挖及疏浚等一些工程,常常将挖掘的泥沙抛入流动的水体中,利用横流对泥沙颗粒团的对流扩散作用来稀释泥沙浓度.针对这类工程进行水环境质量影响评价时,首先要识别泥沙的运动特性.通过实验手段,研究不同级配的泥沙颗粒团瞬时排放后在横流中迁移扩散混合特性.实验结果表明,泥沙颗粒团进入水体后,在浮力、重力、阻力和横流紊动的综合作用下发生对流扩散;横流是产生泥沙对流运输的主要动力,横流的紊动作用,加强了泥沙颗粒团与水体的混合作用,并且破坏了其在静水中的双漩涡结构,因此大大地增加了垂向前锋位置和纵向扩散宽度.通过分析得出了无量纲泥沙颗粒团垂向前锋位置与时间、纵向扩散宽度与时间以及垂向前锋位置与纵向扩散宽度的3个关系式中的参数(α₁、α₃和α₂)均值及其变化范围,可应用于抛泥对水体环境的影响评价.     

基于数字图像分析的土工合成材料加筋砂土拉拔试验研究

由于加筋土界面作用的复杂性,加筋土工程建设中铺设土工格栅时往往采用经验的方法,很大程度上造成了土工格栅的浪费及工程安全隐患,理清不同填料筋土界面作用的影响范围,有助于确定加筋土结构的合理加筋间距。为了揭示不同填料筋土界面作用的影响范围,采用4种不同类型的砂土与格栅在不同法向应力下进行了一系列的拉拔试验,并结合数字图像量测技术,分析了不同类型砂土下界面剪切带厚度、颗粒位移矢量、格栅拉拔阻力峰值及应变等演变规律。研究表明：界面剪切带厚度H随法向应力σ_v与砂土平均粒径d₅₀的增加而增大,通过多变量拟合的方法,得到了H、σ_v与d₅₀三者之间的函数表达式;格栅在拉拔过程中,砂土颗粒位移矢量以土工格栅为界有着显著的差别,格栅上部的颗粒位移矢量明显大于下部颗粒,且在格栅上下一定范围内会形成颗粒位移矢量集中带;拉拔阻力峰值随σ_v及d₅₀的增加而增大;不同类型砂土各区段的格栅应变均表现出由前向后依次递减的趋势。     

海啸波作用下泥沙运动——Ⅱ.床沙组成变化分析

在波浪水槽实验的基础上,对海啸波作用下的床沙组成变化规律开展研究。实验采用1/10~1/20的组合坡度,选取N波作为入射波。实验对波高进行采集,对波浪的上爬、回落和水跃过程进行拍摄记录,对每个波作用后的地形进行测量,并对初始和最终的床面顶层泥沙进行采样筛分。实验结果表明,N波作用下泥沙在离岸区水跃发生区域堆积,淤积沙坝泥沙粒径呈粗化趋势。同时采用规则波和非规则波进行对比,波浪作用后形成岸滩也为沙坝剖面,淤积沙坝泥沙粒径呈细化趋势,结果均遵循Çelikoğlu提出的泥沙运动的基本规律,细颗粒泥沙会在强烈的紊动作用下从床面中被筛选出来,并被搬运到低紊动地区,此过程造成了剧烈紊动区泥沙的粗化。     

泥沙影响流速分布规律的试验研究

挟沙水流中泥沙颗粒的存在将影响水流的紊动结构,并进一步影响水流流速分布。采用超声流速仪MicroADV测量挟沙水流的时均流速沿垂线分布,分析了在不同水力条件、不同泥沙条件(包括泥沙浓度及颗粒粒径)下泥沙与水流相互作用对流速沿垂线分布的影响,在此基础上,考虑到现有流速分布公式在实际河道水流流速沿垂线分布中的应用,提出新的指数型流速分布公式形式;并根据实验资料,初步检验了该公式的精度,同时分析了指数型流速公式中系数k和指数m随泥沙浓度s、粒径d以及水力条件的变化规律。结果表明:系数k随泥沙浓度的增加而增大,同时水力条件以及泥沙颗粒粒径同样也影响着k的变化;而指数m随粒径d的增大而减小,随泥沙浓度s的增加而增大。     

Modeling the influence of settling velocity on cohesive sediment transport in Tanshui River estuary

Settling velocities of suspended cohesive sediment in estuaries vary over a range of several orders in magnitude. Variations in the suspended sediment concentration are often considered as the principal cause. Turbulence and the suspended sediment concentration, as well as other factors such as salinity, dissolved organic substances, flocculation ability, and the rate of floc growth affect setting velocities. A laterally–averaged finite difference model for hydrodynamics and cohesive sediment transport is developed and applied in the Tanshui River estuary, Taiwan. The model has been calibrated and verified with water surface elevation, longitudinal velocity, salinity, and cohesive sediment measured. The overall performance of the model is in qualitative agreement with the available data. The model is used to investigate the influence of settling velocity on cohesive sediment transport dynamics. The simulation indicates that the turbidity maximum zone is near Kuan–Du. When settling velocities increase the surface cohesive sediment concentration at Kuan–Du station trends to decrease and bottom cohesive sediment concentration increases. Both surface and bottom cohesive sediment concentrations decrease at Taipei Bridge and Pa–Ling Bridge. This implies that suspended sediment advected seaward and deposited. There is consequently a net seaward flux of suspended sediment near surface, and a net landward flux near the bed.     

城市小型河流水动力弥散和潜流交换过程

为研究城市小型河流中污染物的物理迁移过程规律,分析基流条件下流动水体与暂态存储区之间的滞留交互作用,采用溴化锂(LiBr)作为保守性示踪剂进行野外现场示踪试验,结合一维溶质运移存储模型(One-dimensional Transport with Inflow and Storage model, OTIS)定量解析潜流交换特性,估算纵向弥散系数(D)、潜流交换面积(A_s)、主河道断面面积(A)和潜流交换系数(α).模型度量指标D_aI值和均方根误差值结果表征参数模拟结果可靠性高,拟合效果理想.由泵入点O至下游1 300 m设置的A、B、C、D 4处监测点的模拟结果表明,水文参数D、A_s、A和α均随水文条件而变,OB河段(0~600 m)潜流交换能力较弱,主要以对流弥散过程为主;BD河段(600~1 300 m)具有较强的暂态存储能力,对溶质的滞留时间长;BC(600~1 000 m)和CD(1 000~1 300 m)河段交换系数分别为(3.42×10-6±0.65×10-6)s-1和(2.87×10-6±0.81×10-6 )s-1;河段BC存在2.2×10-5m3/(s·m)的侧向补给流量.4个河段对比发现,城市河流渠道化、河床沉积物贫瘠等特征导致潜流交换能力弱化.     

Settling velocities and entrainment thresholds of biogenic sands (shell fragments) under unidirectional flow

Settling velocities and entrainment thresholds of biogenic sedimentary particles, under unidirectional flow conditions, are derived on the basis of settling tower and laboratory flume experiments. Material consisting predominantly of equant blocks (shell fragments of Cerastoderma edule , density, ρ _s=2800 kg m⁻³) or of mica-like flakes and elongate rods ( Mytilus edulis fragments, ρ _s=2720 kg m⁻³) are used in separate series of experiments. Differences in the measured settling and threshold properties are related primarily to particle shape. The selection of a characteristic length scale for non-spherical grains is investigated by comparing two approaches used to define the grain size ( D ) of the sediment samples: grain settling and sieve analysis that are used to derive data for the threshold criteria, in terms of the Shields and Movability diagrams. The empirical curves effectively predict the threshold conditions for any grain shape, provided that grain size is defined in terms of grain settling velocity. However, a functional distinction is made between the characteristic `hydraulic' grain size, defined by grain settling for grain transport applications, and the actual (physical) grain size defined by sieve analysis.     

A decade of sedimentation in ice-contact, proglacial lakes, Bering Glacier, AK

Bathymetric surveys during the 1991–2000 decade in two ice-contact, proglacial lakes on the eastern sector of Bering piedmont lobe captured the buildup effects of the 1993–1995 surge. Following ice-front advance of 1.0–1.5 km into Tsivat and Tsiu Lakes, the basins were significantly altered by surge-related sedimentation including the impact of a subglacial outburst into Tsivat Lake. The subsequent changes in basin shape, size, and morphology were monitored by six bathymetric surveys. Measured changes in water depth serve as a proxy for determining increments of sediment accumulation.

Upwelling, ice-front vents fed by subglacial tunnels transported suspended fine sediment directly into the lake system. The rate of suspension settling within both lakes varied from 0.6 to 1.2 m year⁻¹ prior to the surge. Suspended load during surge years increased sixfold from 1.7 to 13.9 g l⁻¹, accompanied by increased sediment accumulation of 2.2–3.1 m year⁻¹. Vent-related aggradation and subsequent filling of Tsivat Lake caused sediment bypassing to Tsiu Lake, where encroachment by delta growth contributed to a postsurge rate of bottomset accumulation of 3.0 m year⁻¹.

The total sediment influx from subglacial sources is represented by the sum of bathymetrically determined accumulation, plus an estimated volume of sediment that remained suspended, thus passing through the lake system. Total sediment flux along the eastern Bering piedmont lobe from 1991 to 2000 is approximately 227 million cubic meters.     

Flocculation Potential of Estuarine Particles: The Importance of Environmental Factors and of the Spatial and Seasonal Variability of Suspended Particulate Matter

Estuarine systems are complex environments where seasonal and spatial variations occur in concentrations of suspended particulate matter, in primary constituents, and in organic matter content. This study investigated in the laboratory the flocculation potential of estuarine-suspended particulate matter throughout the year in order to better identify the controlling factors and their hierarchy. Kinetic experiments were performed in the lab with a “video in lab” device, based on a jar test technique, using suspended sediments sampled every 2 months over a 14-month period at three stations in the Seine estuary (France). These sampling stations are representative of (1) the upper estuary, dominated by freshwater, and (2) the middle estuary, characterized by a strong salinity gradient and the presence of an estuarine turbidity maximum. Experiments were performed at a constant low turbulent shear stress characteristic of slack water periods (i.e., a Kolmogorov microscale >1,000 μm). Flocculation processes were estimated using three parameters: flocculation efficiency, flocculation speed, and flocculation time. Results showed that the flocculation that occurred at the three stations was mainly influenced by the concentration of the suspended particulate matter: maximum floc size was observed for concentrations above 0.1 g l⁻¹ while no flocculation was observed for concentrations below 0.004 g l⁻¹. Diatom blooms strongly enhanced flocculation speed and, to a lesser extent, flocculation efficiency. During this period, the maximum flocculation speed of 6 μm min⁻¹ corresponded to a flocculation time of less than 20 min. Salinity did not appear to automatically enhance flocculation, which depended on the constituents of suspended sediments and on the content and concentration of organic matter. Examination of the variability of 2D fractal dimension during flocculation experiments revealed restructuring of flocs during aggregation. This was observed as a rapid decrease in the floc fractal dimension from 2 to 1.4 during the first minutes of the flocculation stage, followed by a slight increase up to 1.8. Deflocculation experiments enabled determination of the influence of turbulent structures on flocculation processes and confirmed that turbulent intensity is one of the main determining factors of maximum floc size.
