Abstract

Abstract

Instrumented tripod observations of bottom boundary layer flows and sediment transport were conducted in the 2012 flood season in the Pearl River Estuary,South China. An inversion of high-frequency sediment concentration was performed based on the signal-to-noise ratio of the acoustical Doppler velocimeter with a sampling frequency of 64 Hz. Sediment concentration,upward flux of sediment diffusion,eddy viscosity and sediment diffusivity are highly tide-affected,with large values occurring during peak tides,and small ones during slack tides. Settling velocity of sediment particles is dependent on the power of sediment concentration,rather than linearly on sediment concentration. The analyses of turbulence bursting events demonstrated that ejection and sweep are the major momentum source of sediment diffusion. The sediment diffusion is predominately controlled by the amplitude of bursting events,irrespectively of the occurrence number and duration of turbulence events. The large-amplitude bursting events were found to be responsible for upward sediment diffusion.
