Numerical Investigation of Pollutant Transport by Tidal Flow in the Yangtze Estuary
Publication: Coastal Hazards
Abstract
A calibrated three-dimensional model was used to investigate the transport of pollutants in the Yangtze estuary in China. The pollutant was drained from one anabranch into the Yangtze estuary. The investigation focuses on the tidal forcing transport of pollutants, and analyzed the potential optimization of the real-time management of pollutant draining scheme. In this study, the pollutant was drained through one sluice, and the sluice was constructed in one anabranch with a distance about 300 m from the Yangtze River. The hydrodynamics and the transport of pollutants nearby the sluice were also investigated, and some interesting phenomena were discussed.
