项目摘要
Mixing between fresh and salt water is the fundamental process that is common to all estuaries. However well-mixed estuaries present an intriguing paradox: how can mixing occur if the estuary is already mixed? This project addresses that paradox and how it relates to the broader problem of estuarine dispersion in the examination of two well-mixed estuaries with similar tidal and freshwater forcing but highly contrasting geometries, one a narrow estuary with a single, uniform channel and the other a broad lagoon-type estuary with a complex, dendritic channel network. The study will address the coupled momentum and salt balances of these two estuaries with a combination of intensive field measurements and high-resolution numerical modeling. The mixing and exchange processes affecting well-mixed estuaries are fundamentally important to the ecology and life histories of nearshore organisms, to the biogeochemistry (including the carbon budget) of coastal environments, and to the morphodynamic stability of coastal embayments. The results of this study will thus inform research and management related to marine resource management, carbon sequestration, and coastal sustainability. The project will focus a large fraction of its resources on the training of a graduate student. It also includes support for a field methods short-course to provide training for students from different graduate programs in advanced estuarine field methods.Whereas the dynamics of partially mixed and highly stratified estuaries have a firm theoretical framework, well-mixed estuaries are subject to a wide range of hypothesized regimes, such as lateral shear dispersion, chaotic advection and tidal-asymmetry-induced circulation, but with no consistent synthesis or scaling of these different processes. In the case of the narrow estuary, mixing is hypothesized to result from brief, episodic restratification events localized in space and time. For the broad estuary mixing may exhibit a much more complex spatial structure, dominated by lateral fronts at the edges of the channels and intensified at channel junctions. This study will examine the roles of these different mechanisms in well mixed estuaries with strongly contrasting geometries, using observations and realistic simulations to identify the processes, and using model sensitivity studies with varying geometries to parameterize the scaling of the different mechanisms and to generalize the results.
淡水和咸水的混合是所有河口共同的基本过程。然而,混合良好的河口呈现出一个有趣的悖论:如果河口已经混合,混合如何发生?该项目解决了这一悖论,以及它与更广泛的河口扩散问题的关系,通过检查两个混合良好的河口,它们具有相似的潮汐和淡水强迫,但几何形状差异很大,一个是狭窄的河口,有一个单一的、均匀的通道,另一个是一个复杂的河口。宽阔的泻湖型河口,具有复杂的树枝状河道网络。该研究将结合密集的现场测量和高分辨率数值模拟来解决这两个河口的耦合动量和盐平衡问题。影响混合良好河口的混合和交换过程对于近岸生物的生态和生命史、沿海环境的生物地球化学(包括碳预算)以及沿海海湾的形态动力学稳定性至关重要。因此,这项研究的结果将为海洋资源管理、碳封存和沿海可持续性相关的研究和管理提供信息。该项目将把大部分资源集中用于研究生的培训。它还包括对实地方法短期课程的支持,为来自不同研究生课程的学生提供高级河口实地方法的培训。虽然部分混合和高度分层的河口动力学具有坚实的理论框架,但充分混合的河口受到范围广泛的假设机制,例如横向剪切分散、混沌平流和潮汐不对称引起的环流,但这些不同过程没有一致的综合或缩放。在狭窄河口的情况下,混合被假设是由空间和时间上短暂的、间歇性的再层化事件引起的。对于广阔的河口,混合可能表现出更加复杂的空间结构,以河道边缘的侧锋为主,并在河道交汇处加剧。本研究将研究这些不同机制在具有强烈对比几何形状的混合良好河口中的作用,使用观察和实际模拟来识别过程,并使用不同几何形状的模型敏感性研究来参数化不同机制的规模并概括结果。
