长江口深水航道三期工程后北槽水沙输移变化研究

Study on the changes in water and sediment transport in the north passage following the third phase of the Yangtze Estuary deepwater channel project

  • 摘要: 基于2010—2021年北槽地形和同步水文资料,分析了长江口深水航道三期工程实施后的水沙输移变化。三期工程完成后,北槽中上段水深整体增大,−8 m等深线的展宽主要发生在2010—2017年,−10 m等深线持续展宽,北槽下段水深变化相对较小。北槽中下段涨落潮平均流速趋势性变化不明显,各水层含沙量大都呈下降趋势,中层水体平均含沙量减小近50%。北槽纵向水沙通量远大于横向通量,自2010年以来,水沙横向通量占比下降。北槽流速净通量表层大、底层小,中下段多年来均存在水通量的垂向环流,即表层水体横向净通量向北,而底层向南。悬沙净通量底层大、表层小,在纵向上,表层水体悬沙净通量指向下游,底层水体规律性较差。在横向上,2015年后,北槽中下段表层水体悬沙净通量大都指向航道北侧,底层水体指向航道南侧,与表层悬沙净通量形成垂向环流。

     

    Abstract: Based on topographic and hydrological data from 2010 to 2021, this study analyzes the changes in water and sediment transport in the North Passage following the implementation of the third phase of the Yangtze Estuary deepwater channel project. Post-completion, the overall water depth of the upper and middle sections of the North Passage increased, with the −8 m contour line widening primarily between 2010 and 2017, and the −10 m contour line continuously expanding. The lower section experienced relatively minor depth changes. The average tidal current velocity in the middle and lower sections showed no significant trend, while the sediment concentration in most water layers decreased, with the average sediment concentration in the middle layer decreasing by nearly 50%. The longitudinal water and sediment flux in the North Passage was significantly higher than the lateral flux, with the proportion of lateral flux decreasing since 2010. The net flux of current in the North Passage was higher in the surface layer and lower in the bottom layer. Over the years, a vertical circulation of water flux has been observed in the middle and lower sections, with net lateral flux moving northward in the surface layer and southward in the bottom layer. The net sediment flux was higher in the bottom layer and lower in the surface layer. Longitudinally, the net sediment flux in the surface layer pointed downstream, while the bottom layer showed less regularity. Laterally, post-2015, the net sediment flux in the surface layer at the middle and lower sections generally pointed to the north side of the channel, while the bottom layer pointed south, forming a vertical circulation pattern with the surface layer.
