Abstract

Abstract

The water and sediment change of the bifurcation mouth is one of the key parts to influence the estuarine delta formation,which is a determinative controlled factor on the stability of the downstream river situations. Here,based on the flood season water and sediment data observed synchronously in the bifurcation mouth between North and South Passage (BMNSP) during the operations of the second and third phases of the Deep Water Channel Project (DWCP) in the Yangtze Estuary,impacts of DWCP on hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics of the BMNSP were discussed. The results can be summarized as follows: (1) There had been almost no changes for the situation of both the ebb flow and ebb sediment dominance located at the BMNSP,even though the operations of DWCP had experienced time span from the second to the post-third phase. However,the coefficients of both the ebb flow and ebb sediment dominance of the upstream mouth in the South Passage showed an obvious change from low values in the second DWCP to high values in the third DWCP during the flood season. The corresponding coefficients of both the ebb flow and ebb sediment dominance in the North Passage showed inverse changes comparing with those in the South Passage. (2) The Euler residual flow in the flood season could directly determine the flow transport of the BMNSP. During the second and third phase of the DWCP,average transport discharge of the BMNSP was enhanced except the upstream of the North Passage where the average transport discharge still remained low. The change of the Lagrange residual flow of the BMNSP was similar to that of the Euler residual flow. However,the Stokes residual flow of the BMNSP has remained minor changes. (3) Due to the decreased ebb current velocities,increased suspended sediment concentrations,decreased flow transportation and weaken sediment transport rate of the upstream mouth of the North Passage from the second to the post-third DWCP,it could be the main reasons to induce the aggravation of accretions in the upstream mouth of the North Passage.
