Tidal flow and fine-sediment transport at the South Channel–North Passage of the partially-mixed Changjiang River estuary
were studied using a two-dimensional horizontal (2DH) numerical model. This 2DH model was achieved by depth-integrating the
momentum and convection–diffusion equations. The Alternating Direction Implicit scheme was used to solve the governing equations.
The iterative method was adopted for the calculation of convection and diffusion terms of momentum equation. Comparisons between
calculated and measured results (tidal elevations and depth-averaged velocities) have shown reasonable agreement. Horizontal
distributions of tidal current velocity and suspended sediment concentration were qualitatively consistent with observations.
Those modeled results were analyzed to elucidate the mechanisms for the formation of the turbidity maximum and intratidal
variations in fine-sediment transport processes. 相似文献
The water characteristics of the Gucheng Lake, such as eutrophication, health and spatial distribution, were investigated.
On the basis of the trophic state index (TSI) and entropy weight, a synthesized trophic state index (STSI) model was established
to assess lake eutrophication condition through calculating STSI, choosing TP, TN, COD, BOD and NH3-N as trophic variables. The STSI ranged from 50.58 to 62.44, which showed that the water has been between eutrophic and supereutrophic.
A histogram was applied to health risk assessment which was analyzed from carcinogenic substances (Cr+6, As and Cd) and non-carcinogenic substances (hydroxybenzene, Pb, Hg, CN− and NH3), and the results showed that the former was much greater than the latter for effect. The total risk for each resident caused
by all pollutants ranged from 5.18E-05 to 8.34E-05, which is far higher than the standard, recommended by Sweden Bureau of
Environment Protection and Holland Ministry of Building and Environment Protection (1.0E-05). Cluster analysis was used to
detect similarities and dissimilarities among the seven sampling sites and explain the observed clustering in terms of affected
conditions. Twenty-one variables were used to divide seven sampling sites into three groups, namely, north lake, south lake
and lake center. 相似文献
During the self-weight penetration process of the suction foundation on the dense sand seabed, due to the shallow penetration depth, the excess seepage seawater from the outside to the inside of the foundation may cause the negative pressure penetration process failure. Increasing the self-weight penetration depth has become an important problem for the safe construction of the suction foundation. The new suction anchor foundation has been proposed, and the self-weight penetration characteristics of the traditional suction foundation and the new suction anchor foundation are studied and compared through laboratory experiments and analysis. For the above two foundation types, by considering five foundation diameters and two bottom shapes, 20 models are tested with the same penetration energy. The effects of different foundation diameters on the penetration depth, the soil plug characteristics, and the surrounding sand layer are studied. The results show that the penetration depth of the new suction foundation is smaller than that of the traditional suction foundation. With the same penetration energy, the penetration depth of the suction foundation becomes shallower as the diameter increases. The smaller the diameter of the suction foundation, the more likely it is to be fully plugged, and the smaller the height of the soil plug will be. In the stage of self-weight penetration, the impact cavity appears around the foundation, which may affect the stability of the suction foundation.
