Hydrodynamic Effect of the Regulation Project of Yangtze River Deepwater Channel Downstream of Nanjing

A two-dimensional flow numerical model of the tidal reaches, which total length is more than 700 km, is established from Datong to the Yangtze River estuary. The tidal levels, velocities, diversion ratios and dynamic axes before and after the separate regulation of each reach and combined regulation of all reaches are obtained. The comparative analysis shows that the regulation project of a separate reach basically has no impact on velocity distributions and variations of diversion ratios of upper and lower reaches, the variations of dynamic axes are only within the local scope of the project. The regulation project of a separate reach also has less impact on the water level in the lower adjacent reaches, but will make the water levels in the upper reaches rise. After the implementation of the regulation projects for all reaches, the rise of water level in the upstream reaches will have a cumulative impact.

Morphodynamic Characteristics and Medium-Term Simulation of the North-South Passage Under the Impact of the Yangtze Estuary Deepwater Navigation Channel Project

The morphological evolution characteristics of the North-South Passage area since the construction of the Yangtze Estuary Deepwater Navigation Channel Project(DNCP)are analyzed on the basis of the measured data.A twodimensional morphodynamics numerical model of the Yangtze Estuary is established to verify the morphological evolution of the North-South Passage under the influence of the DNCP and to predict the future evolution in the next 40 years.Data analysis shows that the North Passage has experienced rapid adjustment stages and adaptive stages after the construction of the DNCP.Slow erosion occurred along the main channel,and slow siltation could be observed in the area between the groins.The South Passage showed a state of upper section erosion and down section deposition.At present,the whole South Passage is in a slight erosion state.According to the numerical model,the eroding and silting speed of the North Passage will slow down in the future.The present state that erosion occurs in the main channel and siltation occurs between the groins will continue.The South Passage will still maintain upper section erosion and down section deposition in the future.Due to the main channel erosion of the North Passage and siltation of the South Passage,the sediment division ratio of the North Passage will increase in the future but still be smaller than 50%.After morphological evolution of 40 years,the direction of residual sediment transport caused by M2 and M4 tidal components in the North Passage has not changed,but the transport rate will decrease.It is considered that the morphological evolution of the North-South Passage could reach a relatively stable state after 40 years.

Fractal Characteristics and Prediction of Backsilting Quantity in Yangtze Estuary Deepwater Channel

Fractal interpolation has been an important method applied to engineering in recent years. It can not only be used to fit smooth curve and stationary data but also show its unique superiorities in the fatting of non-smooth curve and non-stationary data. Through analyzing such characteristic values as average value, standard deviations, skewness and kurtosis of measured backsilting quantities in the Yangtze Estuary 12.5 m Deepwater Channel during2011–2017, the fractal interpolation method can be used to study the backsilting quantity distribution with time.According to the fractal interpolation made on the channel backsilting quantities from January 2011 to December2017, there was a good corresponding relationship between the annual(monthly) siltation quantities and the vertical scaling factor. On this basis, a calculation formula for prediction of the backsilting quantity in the Yangtze Estuary Deepwater Channel was constructed. With the relationship between the predicted annual backsilting quantities and the vertical scaling factor, the monthly backsilting quantities can be obtained. Thus, it provides a new method for estimating the backsilting quantity of the Yangtze Estuary Deepwater Channel.

Calculation of Diversion Ratio of the North Channel in the Yangtze Estuary

The circumfluence around the Jiuduan Sandbank is thoroughly studied by means of the principle of least resistance in fluid dynamics. The diversion ratio of the North Channel for 1998 is calculated, which is almost the same as the field survey data. The normal and minimum diversion ratios of the North Channel after stages I , II and III regulation works as well as the future phase are obtained. The numerical results and predicted value are accurate.

Comprehensive analysis on the sediment siltation in the upper reach of the deepwater navigation channel in the Yangtze Estuary

The results from both the field measurements and numerical simulation were reported to comprehensively analyze the sediment siltation in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel Project in the Yangtze Estuary after the project has been implemented. In this research, firstly some basic information about the river evolution in the Yangtze Estuary is analyzed, including the variations of water depths in the Hengsha Passage and the inlet cross-sections of the North Passage and the South Passage, and changes of diversion ratios of ebb flow and sediment flux in the North Passage and the South Passage, Then the Delfl3D-FLOW model is applied to simulate the hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the Yangtze Estuary. This model has been calibrated and the simulated results agree well with the measured data of the tidal levels, flow velocities and suspended sediment concentration （SSC）, indicating that the model can well simulate the hydrodynamics and sediment transport of the Yangtze Estuary caused by the Deepwater Navigation Channel Project. The research results show that the development of the Hengsha Passage and decrease of diversion ratio of ebb flow and sediment flux in the North Passage are the main reasons of sediment siltation in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel in the Yangtze Estuary.

长江口南汇边滩大治河出海口航道整治工程数值模拟优化

内河出海口口门处通航和水流条件复杂。以大芦线东延伸航道整治工程为例,采用二维潮流数学模型对工程方案进行数值模拟研究,分析复杂水域不同导流堤的作用及其对航道条件的影响。结果表明:口外平行导流堤方案具有一定的削弱外航道横流的作用,但该方案存在堤头等局部横流及增加回淤量等问题,不利于船舶航行和航道维护,不能有效改善口门外通航条件,因此本工程条件下不推荐此方案;南、北侧现状促淤堤位置布设直弧形导流堤方案,可有效减弱口门及口外航道部分水域的横流、优化环流流态、改善口门通航条件,推荐采用该方案开展后续研究。综合考虑方案效果及经济性,推荐在大芦线口门南、北现状促淤堤内侧布设南侧长930 m、北侧长1500 m的直弧形导流堤。

新世纪上海地区相对海平面变化影响因素及预测方法

针对传统相对海平面变化分析方法均将理论海平面变化和地面沉降进行的叠加分析,本文讨论和分析了近20年来全球理论海平面上升速率加快背景下的区域海平面变化速率,利用灰色线性回归组合模型预测上海地区海平面变化趋势。考虑了上海地面沉降发展的新特点,以及长江流域来沙显著减少和河口大型工程建设对上海地区相对海平面变化的影响。在流域来沙量显著减少但来水量变化不大情况下,流域大坝的坝下冲刷使得河槽刷深,河口水位降低,同时长江口深水航道整治工程和促淤围垦工程束狭入海口,使得潮位站水位发生变化,两者的综合效应是目前研究长江口相对海平面变化时必须考虑的重要因素。

长江口深水航道治理一期工程实施对南槽冲淤演变的影响

长江河口九段沙近期冲淤演变过程研究

1998年以前,九段沙是一个人类活动干预很小的天然河口江心沙洲。北槽深水航道治理工程建设,使九段沙头部和北边界基本固定,南北槽分流分沙比改变,水沙交换减少。同时,随着流域来沙和河口河道底沙来源减少,近期九段沙冲淤演变发生新的变化。如今的九段沙0m水深线包络体在不断地淤高扩宽。上沙沙头迅速淤涨,并越过南导堤向北偏伸入北槽,沙尾则快速向南槽延伸,并与南导堤和中沙之间形成新的涨潮沟通道;九段沙南北侧由于冲淤不均其水边线形态出现明显不规则变化,下沙尾部东南端冲蚀,东北端淤涨,沙洲长轴线逆时针转动,但洲体整体位置摆动极小。作为国家级自然保护区,其上沙沙尾的快速延伸和沙洲南侧局部冲淤不平衡须引起重视,确保九段沙沙洲整体稳定。

近期长江河口南、北槽分流口河床演变过程研究

基于大量现场水沙观测及海图资料,首先分析总结了南、北槽分流口历史演变规律;其次,对长江口深水航道治理工程建设以来南、北槽分流口河段水流动力特征,近期分流口演变规律及分流潜堤工程建设对分流口河段河道演变和水动力条件的影响进行了研究。结果显示:南港下游至南、北槽分流口河段深泓线位置经历了南-北-南的换位过程;南、北槽分流沙洲的方位角受外海上溯潮波控制,基本保持在305°,但由于分流口上提至江亚南沙及分流潜堤的建设,分流沙洲洲头逐渐北偏,目前分流沙洲方位角在314°左右,伸入到分流潜堤北侧河道,与此同时,南、北槽进口过水断面(0m以下)总面积维持稳定的前提下,北槽过水断面持续减小,南槽相应增加;目前,南港下游水流流向出现南偏,落潮主流偏向南槽,南槽进口断面平均潮流速大于北槽。

长江口北支缩窄工程对水动力环境影响数值分析

为分析长江口北支缩窄工程对长江口南北支水动力环境的影响,建立了长江口-杭州湾二维垂向平均潮流数学模型,对长江口北支缩窄工程前后的潮流场进行了数值模拟研究。研究表明:工程实施后新岸线的走向顺应了涨落潮流主流流向,南北支潮流特性基本不变;缩窄工程减小了北支入海口门的河宽,导致北支涨潮量明显减小,达到了减轻北支咸潮倒灌南支的目的;工程后整个河道的高潮位均有不同程度的降低,对北支两岸的防潮将产生积极影响;低潮位有增有减,但是变化幅度相对不明显,仅对北支中上段的排涝有略微影响;从全河段来看,工程后涨潮流速除了三条港河段增大外,其余河段均有不同的减小;而落潮流速总体增大。
