The governing equations, the numerical scheme, the boundary con ditions, the movable boundary technique and the numerical solutions were present ed. The model was verified by the data of the reach 25km upstream the Jialingjia ng estuary and the 44km long main stream of the Chongqing reach of the Yangtze r iver. The calculated results show that, the water elevation, the velocity distri bution and the river bed deformation are in agreement with the measured data.展开更多

Bed- forms on the sea floor off the Dongfang coast and internal structures of a typical dune were interpreted to evaluate storm influences on individual dunes and the dune field. Results indicated that flow forcings and related bedload transport were both strengthened significantly due to Typhoon Ketsana. The measurements and modeling results, which mainly included three different stages, presented noticeable phasic variation. The three stages were dominated by tidal current （Period I）, tidal current combined with wind-induced waves （Period II）, and swells combined with tidal current and seaward flows （Period III）. This phasic varia- tion could be a common trait of hydrodynamics due to typhoons moving westwardly to the south of Hainan Island and Beibu Gulf in South China Sea. Results indicated that the maximum bedioad transport rate for every burst in Period III was almost 100 times larger than that in Period I and was ten times larger than that in Period II. However, the short-term increase in bedload transport induced by storms like Ketsana did not change the long-term evolution of dune morphology. Evidence was given by the internal structures of a typical dune, which revealed renewed modification under subsequent moderate conditions after storm ero- sion. Instead, storms may influence at different scales and regional allocation of sand dunes in some large areas because changes of the sea floor in large scales can hardly be recovered. More surveys during and after storm passage are also needed to document the level of positive contribution to forward migration.展开更多
