瓯江口动力地貌演化的水沙环境研究

    The geomorphic evolution and water-sediment environment in Oujiang River Estuary

    • 摘要: 瓯江口地处东海与瓯江交汇处,是浙江省温州市沿海产业带核心区,也是温州重要产业聚集区。本文在对瓯江口水文泥沙、地形地貌、沉积环境进行调查与分析的基础上,对河口动力地貌演化及水沙输运特征等进行了研究。结果表明:滩槽动力地貌体系是瓯江口地貌格局的重要组成部分,动力地貌格局是瓯江径流以及河口浪、潮、流等多种动力条件共同作用的结果;海床地形表现为北支“槽冲”、南支“滩淤”为主的分布格局特征。河口输水表现为南支落潮下泄流占优,北支大潮潮流上溯、小潮潮流下泄特征明显,同时径流、潮流共同作用下的潮流不对称现象明显。优势输水输沙作用下的瓯江南口泥沙净输运量为224~8 876 kg,瓯江北口泥沙净输运量为20~15 506 kg,底沙运动较为活跃。河口动力地貌与水沙环境是径、潮流的相对作用、河口人类建设工程及近海环流系统共同塑造的结果。

       

      Abstract: Oujiang Estuary is located at the confluence of the East China Sea and the Oujiang River, and it is the core area of the coastal industrial belt and an important industrial cluster in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Based on the investigation and analysis on the hydrology, sedimentology, topography, and sedimentary environment, we studied the dynamic geomorphology evolution and water-sediment transport characteristics of the estuary. Results show that the dynamic geomorphological system of shoal-channel is an important part of the geomorphological pattern of Oujiang River estuary, and the geomorphological pattern is the result of the combined action of Oujiang River runoff and the dynamic conditions of waves, tides, and currents in the estuary. The seabed topography is characterized by the distribution pattern of “channel erosion” in the northern branch and “shoal deposition” in the southern branch. The water transport in the estuary is dominated by the ebb flow in the southern branch, while the flood flow in the northern branch is evident during the spring tide and the ebb flow is evident during the neap tide. At the same time, the asymmetry of tidal currents under the combined action of runoff and tidal currents is obvious. The net sediment transport at the southern mouth of Oujiang River was between 224 and 8876 kg, while at the northern mouth, it was between 20 and 15506 kg, indicating active sediment movement. The dynamic geomorphology and water-sediment environment of the estuary are the result of the relative effects of river and tidal currents, human construction projects in the estuary, and the nearshore circulation system.
