波浪渗流力对泥沙起动的影响

海岸泥沙起动的力学机理十分复杂。首先理论分析了波浪作用下床面泥沙颗粒所受的主要作用力,然后将上举力和有效重力分别与渗流力进行比较分析。计算结果表明渗流力随着波高的变化其方向也发生向上或向下的变化,渗流力与上举力和有效重力之间存在着相位差,不同粒径的泥沙在一个周期内均有一时段渗流力远大于上举力;对于渗透系数小的细颗粒泥沙,渗流力远大于泥沙颗粒的上举力和有效重力。进一步通过水槽试验分析了不同波浪参数作用下孔隙水压力梯度对泥沙起动的影响,试验结果表明波浪渗流力对海床细颗粒泥沙的起动有着重要作用,特别是在分析长周期波浪作用下细颗粒泥沙起动规律时,需考虑波浪引起的渗流力影响。     

破碎波作用下沙质海床床面形态变化试验

波浪在斜坡沙质海床上破碎会加剧泥沙输移导致海床形态变化,研究破碎波作用下沙质海床形态变化机制对于岸滩演变分析极为重要。在波浪水槽中采用中值粒径0.47 mm原型沙铺设1∶20坡度的底床模型进行试验研究,测量不同波浪条件下床面形态和沙坝顶端悬浮泥沙浓度变化。通过测量和计算破碎带输沙率、沙坝尺度和沙坝移动速度,分析破碎波作用下沙质斜坡海床上床面形态变化规律。试验结果表明,破碎带沙坝顶端的悬浮泥沙浓度与水深和底部床面密切相关,在形成沙坝和沙坝水平方向移动时,悬浮泥沙浓度较大;斜坡上沙坝前后来回运动的周期大小具有随机性,沙坝既有向岸又有离岸移动;在多组波长时间作用后沙坝尺度趋于稳定,底床净输沙量趋于0。

波浪作用下的床面切应力研究进展

波浪作用下的床面切应力是估算近岸泥沙起动、输移的重要基本参数之一,其形成的底部摩阻效应也会对近岸水动力环境产生影响。由于现场观测较为困难,对波浪边界层与波浪作用下床面切应力的认识主要建立在室内试验观测基础上。回顾国内外相关理论模型和试验测量研究,梳理各类研究方法与测量技术的优缺点及适用条件;整理20世纪70年代至今的大量试验资料,对已有研究成果进行归纳分析,包括波浪非线性、波浪破碎等因素对床面切应力的影响;总结现有研究存在的局限性,提出今后的研究重点。超大型水槽是未来突破波浪边界层理论研究瓶颈的重要设施;高适应性水下二维切应力传感器的发展是复杂动力条件下床面切应力研究取得突破的关键。     

淤泥质浅滩泥沙临界起动切应力剖面确定

为了确定淤泥质浅滩泥沙的临界起动切应力垂线剖面,采用音叉密度计在淤泥质连云港徐圩浅滩进行了定点密度垂线分布测量,并针对该海域的泥沙利用长水槽和环形槽开展了泥沙起动室内试验。淤泥密度现场结果表明,浅滩泥沙密度与深度满足对数型关系;室内试验得出密度1 050~1 400 kg/m³的泥沙临界起动切应力值为0.1~1.0 Pa,泥沙临界切应力与密度呈指数关系;进而确定了临界起动切应力与深度的关系即临界起动切应力剖面,该剖面关系式可供数学模型模拟淤泥质浅滩的泥沙起动过程参考。     

泥沙起动判别标准探讨

分析了现有起动标准的不足之处。在制定起动标准时,不但要考虑水流条件,还必须考虑泥沙颗粒在床面的相对位置。对同一粒径的泥沙颗粒,其起动条件不是一个常量,而是位于一个区间,它随颗粒在床面的相对暴露度而变化。根据力学原理,推导了泥沙颗粒起动时的临界无量纲切应力公式,并对其系数取值进行了理论计算。计算结果表明,对同一粒径、在同一起动状态下,泥沙颗粒的起动临界条件并非一个常量。并从理论上分析得到了临界值的范围,对个别及少量起动,其无量纲临界切应力为0.021～0.042及0.041～0.062。     

Stokes二阶波作用下斜坡海床中盾构隧道周围砂土渗流压力响应分析

目前针对波浪作用下海底盾构隧道周围渗流场的既有理论研究一般将衬砌考虑为不透水介质,较少考虑隧道衬砌的渗透性,尤其是较少考虑海底斜坡地形下波浪非线性带来的影响。首先基于斜坡海床表面的动力边界条件,得到Stokes非线性波作用下自由海床的Biot固结孔压响应;其次,采用镜像法建立了由于隧道存在引起的砂土体摄动压力控制方程,并利用砂土与衬砌间渗流连续条件获得了该方程的Fourier级数展开解析解;接着,采用叠加原理得到了Stokes波作用下斜坡海床中隧道周围砂土的渗流压力响应解答;最后,将理论解析解与数值结果及已有的试验结果进行对比,获得了较好的一致性。此外,针对波浪敏感参数(波长、周期、形态)、海床敏感参数(海床渗透性、剪切模量、饱和度、坡度)及隧道敏感参数(衬砌厚度、渗透性、埋深)进行了影响因素分析。结果表明：随着波浪周期及波长增加,衬砌外超静孔压明显增加;随着水深沿斜坡方向减小,Airy波和Stokes波理论在适用范围内(d/L>0.125,d为海水深度,L为波长),获得的波浪压力差异明显增加,前者会低估隧道周围的超静孔隙水压力;当海床渗透系数较大时(k_s&...     

渗流作用下床面切应力响应机理

由于河床底部渗流的引入,传统的床面切应力测量方法不再适用,床面切应力对渗流的响应机理研究目前仅限于基于相关假定的理论分析和间接的推算,不同学者得出不同甚至相反的结论.利用自行设计的渗流床面切应力直接测量装置,对不同明渠水流及渗流组合动力条件下的床面切应力进行了测量.结果表明渗流作用下床面切应力变化与相对渗流强度v_s/U关系密切,一般在|v_s/U|<0.2%时出现拐点,在0.2%<|v_s/U|<0.4%时出现临界点,并指出相对渗流强度v_s/U的取值是已有研究成果相矛盾的关键因素.     

Determination of the interstitial velocity field in the swash zone by Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry (UDV)

The experimental study of the hydrodynamics of the sediments and the physical analysis of the process of exchange at the water-sediment interface in a zone of swash are essential for the understanding of the sedimentary transport processes in coastal environments, in particular to control and forecast the evolution of the coastline. The objective of this study was to exploit the technique of Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry (UDV) to examine the evolution of the velocity field at the water-sediment interface in a zone of swash in various conditions of incidental regular waves in a wave flume. The velocities were measured in different conditions of the swash within the sediment bed, and in the fluid vein at the swash edge. These measurements show: an exponential distribution of velocities inside the sediment bed; a difference in the velocity gradient at the water-sediment interface, between the velocity in the water vein at the swash edge and the interstitial flow in the swash. The measurements obtained in the wave flume made it possible to observe an evolution of the velocity profiles according to the phases of the swash, which are characterized by a phase shift between the free flow at the swash edge and the interstitial flow during the two phases of the swash: uprush and backwash.     

波流作用下黄河三角洲硬壳层液化渗流形成机制研究

波流作用于海床产生动态孔隙水压力,如不能及时消除会在其内部产生累积孔隙水压力,相邻两点间的孔隙水压力差值造成的水力梯度产生渗流力,渗流力引起水流动,海床表面为排水界面,从而会在海床内部形成向上的渗流力作用于泥沙颗粒上,使泥沙发生启动向海床表层运移,从而形成一定范围的粗颗粒层。本文采用数值模拟对不同流速下的海床累积孔隙水压力进行了研究,同时分析了硬壳层的存在对海床累积孔隙水压力的影响规律,根据取得的不同流速下海床内部的累积孔隙水压力值,计算海床任意位置处的渗流压力梯度,采用王虎等(2014)推导建立的海床临界冲刷深度的计算方法,分析不同流速下的硬壳层形成深度。结果表明: 海流流向与波浪行进方向一致时,对累积孔隙水压力起促进作用,流速越大累积孔隙水压力越大,反之对累积孔隙水压力有抑制作用。表面硬壳层的存在会显著促进累积孔压的消散,累积孔隙水压力沿深度分布的极值均出现在下层原始海床中,流速U₀=0m ·s-1时硬壳层厚度由1m增加到3m,极值点深度下降了1.38m。累积孔隙水压力引起的渗流力对于海床泥沙启动影响显著,在流速U₀=0m ·s-1,U₀=1m ·s-1时泥沙启动深度均为海床1.5m深度处,并且海流流向与波浪行进方向一致时,会产生较大ΔP/ΔL值带动较粗的泥沙颗粒至海床表层,但对泥沙启动的最大深度影响不大。

Threshold studies of gravel size particles under the co-linear combined action of waves and currents

Gravel size sediment beds are tested under the combined influence of simulated wave action and co-linear currents in a laboratory flume. Critical current speed, at threshold, increases with increasing size. Superimposed wave energy causes a small reduction in the unidirectional current energy. For low values of wave-induced near bed current velocities, the resistance to erosion increases when the wave period decreases from 10 to 6 s. Finally, combined critical shear stresses are found to be lower than those predicted using the Shields curve, as modified for oscillatory flow. Grain protrusion is suggested as a mechanism to explain this divergence.     

Threshold of motion of bivalve and gastropod shells under oscillatory flow in flume experiments

The threshold of motion of non-fragmented mollusc shells was studied for the first time under oscillatory flow. In this regard, flume experiments were used to investigate the threshold of motion of three bivalve and three gastropod species, two typical mollusc classes of coastal coquina deposits. The sieve diameters ranged from 2·0 to 15·9 mm. These experiments were performed on a flat-bottom setup under regular non-breaking waves (swell) produced by a flap-type wave generator. The critical Shields values for each species of mollusc were plotted against the sieve and nominal diameter. Moreover, the dimensionless Corey shape factor of the shells was evaluated in order to investigate the effect of mollusc shell shapes on the threshold of motion. According to their critical Shields parameter, the mollusc threshold data under oscillatory flow present smaller values than the siliciclastic sediments when considering their sieve diameter. In addition, the mollusc datasets are below the empirical curves built from siliciclastic grain data under current and waves. When considering the nominal diameter, the critical Shields parameter increases and the mollusc data are closer to siliciclastic sediments. Bivalves, which have a flat-concave shape (form factor: 0·27 to 0·37), have a higher critical Shields parameter for smaller particles and more uniform datasets than the gastropod scattered data, which have a rounded shape (form factor: 0·58 to 0·62) and have varied morphologies (ellipsoidal, conical and cubic). The comparison between previous current-driven threshold data of bioclastic sediment motion and the data of mollusc whole shells under oscillatory flow shows a fair correlation on the Shields diagram, in which all datasets are below the mean empirical curves for siliciclastic sediments. These findings indicate that the shape effect on the transport initiation is predominant for smaller shells. The use of the nominal diameter is satisfactory to improve the bioclastic and siliciclastic data correlation.

Physical model tests to determine the mechanism of submarine landslides under the effect of sea waves

Submarine landslides are a common type of disaster which threaten property and the safety of human life. To effectively prevent and control such disasters, we conduct a series of large-scale physical model tests to determine the mechanism of submarine landslides. First, a large-scale physical model test system is designed and developed, including flume test frame, wave-making system, wave-absorbing system, and data monitoring system. In the tests, we investigate the effect of different sea waves by changing the parameters of the wave-making system and the influence of the slope inclination by constructing different models. Data regarding the wave pressure acting on the slope surface, seepage pressure, and displacement are monitored during the test procedure. The test results show that the seepage pressure in the faults varies cyclically with the sea waves and is lower at internal points than at outcrops. If the wave loading time is sufficiently long, the seepage pressure and displacement deformation in the fault zone will gradually increase. In other words, failures in fault zones precede submarine landslides. The weak fault zone provides the preferred sliding surface, and the sea waves supply the external dynamic energy for submarine landslides. The conclusions provide guidelines for similar engineering and research.
