Abstract

Based on the tide level data along the tidal reach of Xijiang River from 2015 to 2017, we applied the nonstationary tidal harmonic analysis model NS-TIDE to study the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of the amplitude and phase of different cycles of tidal constituent, the change of tidal dynamics composition and tidal wave deformation characteristics, and discussed the causes of tidal level deformation and the reversal of the lowest low waters along the tidal reach. The results show that, unlike the diurnal constituent and semi-diurnal constituent along the tidal reach that have amplitude decay and phase increment, the shallow water component amplitude increases and then decreases, the amplitude of MS_f is increasing, and the phase is changing alternately; the decay rate of each tidal amplitude is higher in the flood season than in the dry season, and the phase changes more in the flood season, indicating that the tidal wave propagates upstream more slowly under the top support of river discharge. Due to the influence of river discharge and topography, the amplitude of MS_f is larger in the flood season and upstream section of the river, and the tidal dynamic composition changes from the main tidal constituent to the secondary tidal constituent; the change of amplitude ratio of M₄ and M₂ indicates significant tidal deformation, and the reversal of the lowest low waters when the amplitude ratio of MS_f to M₂ and S₂ is relatively large.
