根据2007年闽江河口两个站位洪季大潮的同步观测资料,分析了闽江河口潮周期内悬浮泥沙的分布特征、底质再悬浮特征以及悬浮泥沙的输运过程和机制。研究表明:闽江河口悬浮泥沙粒级组成上以粉砂为主,分选较差,粒级偏向粗颗粒一侧,单峰分布;梅花水道悬浮泥沙浓度波动较大,再悬浮作用明显;第一个潮周期内涨潮流在输运过程中的作用更为明显,平均流、斯托克斯漂移效应、潮汐捕集作用和垂向潮振荡引起的剪切扩散是引起闽江河口悬浮泥沙输运的重要因素。
Simultaneous anchored observation at two stations in the Minjiang estuary was carried out during spring tide in the flood season in 2007. The observation results show that the suspended sediment is mainly composed of fine silt, with a poorly sorted, positively skewed, sin- gle-mode pattern in grain size distribution. The suspended sediment concentration remarkably fluctuates in the Meihua channel, and it may be closely relates to sediment resuspension. The flood tide current plays a more important role in the suspended sediment transport in the first tide cycle. Advection, storks drift, tidal trapping and vertical sheafing diffusion are the most important factors in the transport of the suspended sediment in Minjiang estuary.
