浊流沿程特征的一维数值模拟研究
One-dimensional Numerical Simulation of Turbidity Flow Characteristics in the Flow Direction
摘要
Abstract
[Objective]To perform a numerical simulation of turbidity flow to demonstrate the effects of factors influ-encing the turbidity flow and sediment deposition.[Methods]A numerical calculation model of turbidity current was constructed based on the average layer thickness model.Initial particle size concentrations,inflow thickness and in-flow velocity were modeled to assess the flow and deposition processes for suspended particles in a submarine turbidi-ty current.Four particle sizes and a 3%flow-channel slope were simulated and the findings were analyzed.[Results](1)In terms of thickness,the turbidity current began to thicken at the initial stage of its evolution as environmental water was entrained,then gradually thinned as sediment was introduced.(2)The flow velocity was observed to be in three stages:acceleration,uniform velocity,and deceleration.For the same initial thickness and sediment concentra-tion,a higher content of fine-grained sediment resulted in a more stable turbidity current(i.e.,the current main-tained a uniform flow for longer).For similar sediment composition and concentration conditions,a thicker turbidity current was more stable.(3)The greatest accumulation of sediments occurred close to the source of the turbidity cur-rent and mainly at the central axis of the channel,decreasing monotonically with distance from the central axis.The deposition rate in a very thick,rapid turbidity current is smaller,but the overall quantity of deposited material is greater.[Conclusions]These results demonstrate that the method described is suitable for the study of field-scale tur-bidity currents and its future application is expected for naturally occurring turbidity currents.关键词
