长江潮汐河段汊道相对稳定性及河势联动机理研究

The main stream of tidal river reaches frequently oscillates between the branches, forming interconnected branching reaches in a lotus-root shape. These branches have poor stability and high connectivity of river potential between the upper and lower reaches, making navigation and river potential conditions extremely unstable and restricting waterway navigation in multibranching tidal river reaches. Therefore, these reaches are the main focus both in China and other countries for waterway navigation in rivers and river channel regulation. Using the tidal reaches at the lower Yangtze river as examples, we use different research methods, including field-measured data analysis, mathematical modeling, and logical analysis to study the effects of variations in tidal runoff hydrodynamics on the range of fluctuations of tidal current, branch diversion ratio, branch morphology, the pattern of beaches and trenches, and the evolution of lateral and channel bars. Furthermore, we analyze the relative branch stability and intensity of river potential connectivity between the upper and lower reaches. It is expected that the internal mechanism of tidal runoff hydrodynamics in the evolution of lateral and channel bars and development and maintenance of reach branching will be determined and a quantitative index for evaluating the relationship between the relative branch stability of tidal reaches and river potential connectivities will be established. The results of this study are expected to supplement the existing theories on the evolution of riverbeds in tidal reaches. This study provides a theoretical background for tidal river channel regulation, construction, the maintenance of waterway regulation projects, dredging maintenance, as well as the planning of waterway regulation projects.

潮汐河段主流摆动频繁，塑造了藕节型连续分汊的河道形态，其汊道稳定性差且上下游河势联动性强，使得通航及河势条件极不稳定，制约着潮汐河段多汊通航目标的实现，是国内外通航河流河道与航道治理的重点河段。本项目以长江下游潮汐河段为例，采用实测资料分析、数学模型和理论分析等研究方法及手段，开展径潮流水动力变化对潮流界变动范围、汊道分流比、汊道形态、滩槽格局及边心滩演变等影响研究，分析汊道相对稳定性和上下游河势联动性强弱。预期揭示径潮流水动力在边心滩演变、汊道发育与维持中的内在机理，建立潮汐河段汊道相对稳定性和河势联动性量化评价指标方法。预期取得的研究成果，在理论上可丰富潮汐河段河床演变学研究内容，工程实践上可为潮汐河段河道治理，航道整治工程规划、建设与养护、疏浚维护等提供理论支撑。
