The results show that it is the change of coast line and the consequent change of hydrological condition and sediment movement that has led to the change of back siltation in the harbor. This phenomenon is caused by the lag effects of water current, sediment movement and local adjustment of topography after the construction, and it tends to be stable. The results of analysis provide not only a basis for extension of Lianyungang Harbor into a deep water harbor, but also propose a case for the study of the change of back siltation in a harbor on muddy coast.展开更多
