Suspension-Diffusion Mathematical Model Calculation for Wenzhou Shoal in Construction Period

By means of natural condition and mathematical models of tidal flow and sediment, numerical study is carried out on suspension-diffusion in construction period after the reclamation project of Wenzhou shoal at Oujiang estuary in this paper. The main conclusions are: the suspension-diffusion is controlled by tidal current. The range of suspended sediment concentration more than 10mg/L is mostly in Wenzhou shoal area during filling sand construction, which is the continuous operation. Riprap construction is Instantaneous work; the range of scatter is limited.

Effectiveness Analysis of Promoting Deposition for Submerged Dike in Wenzhou Shoal

By means of natural condition、scour and silting evolution and mathematical models of wave, tidal flow and sediment, numerical study is carried out on deposit-promoting schemes in the reclamation project of Wenzhou shoal at Oujiang estuary in this paper. The main conclusions are:The scouring and silting reached equilibrium is 0.1~1.2 m in west side and 0.1~0.9 m in east side.

Simulation of Salinity Changes Induced by Man-Made Sea Embankment

Understanding the salinity transport mechanism in the estuaries is of great importance for coastal engineering, disaster prevention, water security and intertidal zone aquiculture.In this paper,the large-scale sea embankment in the Oujiang River Estuary (ORE) of Wenzhou shoal was taken as an example.Based on the intoduction of the study area,the 3D marine numerical model (EFDC) was setup and used for simulation of salinity changes induced by the embankment. The results indicated that the ORE is well-mixed estuary. The Ling-Ni Embankment designed in accordance with the flow direction makes the freshwater inflow reach far away, the salinity gradient increase, and the tongue contour reach further. The salinity difference of the north and south side of the embankment sea area is increased.

Analysis of Monitoring and Settlement Prediction of Wenzhou Shoal Seawall

The foundation of Wenzhou shoal project is soft and deep. The stability control issue of building seawalls on the deep soft foundation was solved by using a composite foundation treatment of plastic drainage plates and geotextile, combining with the in-situ monitoring. The in-situ monitoring data of Wenzhou shoal project was analyzed and the settlement prediction analysis was conducted. Basing on the conventional exponential curve fitting method, the settlement prediction model is presented for the classified construction on soft foundation. Considering the non-linear of deformation and soil consolidation with load changes, the model used the settlement deformation characteristics under the last load to predict the settlement development under the next load.

Study of Morphological Changes Induced by Man-Made Coastal Project

With rapid development of economy, the crisis of land resources is faced. Land expansion by enclosing sea in estuaries has become an important carrier for city space extension. In this paper,the large-scale marine reclamation project in the Oujiang River Estuary (ORE) of Wenzhou shoal was taken as an example.Based on the intoduction of the study area,the 3D marine numerical model (EFDC) was setup and used for simulation of sediment enviroment and morphological changes induced by the reclamation. The results indicated that the project doesn’t have obvious adverse effects on its nearby sediment environment and seabed. On the contrary, it settles the problem of mouth bar of the ORE and provides some advantages to maintain and steady the deep water channel and improve the sail condition from the north mouth of Oujiang River to Huangda’ao channel.
