Numerical Simulation of the Tidal Flow and Suspended Sediment Transport in the Qiantang Estuary [PDF]
AbstractResults from a numerical modeling study are presented to investigate the tidal elevations, tidal current velocity, bed deformation, and suspended sediment concentration in the Qiantang Estuary, China. The Qiantang Estuary is well-known for its macrotide, which generates a hydrodynamically complex environment.

The Seawall in Qiantang Estuary [PDF]
The seawall (sea dike) situated in the estuarine reach of the Qiantang Estuary is subjected to the strong, destructive action of the world-renowned Qiantang bore; in Hangzhou Bay, on the other hand, the dike is subjected to strong wave action. The seawall protects the vast lowlands of the Taihu Lake plain on the north bank and the Xiaoshan-Shaoxing ...

Tributary inflows enhance the microplastic load in the estuary: A case from the Qiantang River
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020Microplastics (MPs) in the surface water of the Qiantang River and its tributaries were investigated in this study, to evaluate the contribution of riverine discharge on emerging pollution load in the Hangzhou Bay. The abundance of MPs (mean 1183 ± 269 particles/m3) showed spatially and temporally heterogeneous in the surface water.

Stochastic Analysis and Simulation for Seawall Engineering on Qiantang Estuary [PDF]
Qiantang River is a famous macro-tidal estuary, and the beach is changing greatly and rapidly by the action of flood and tide. The problem about erosion of flat in front of seawall has still not been solved in theoretically and practically. Based on the theory of reliability, the flat level in front of seawall is firstly considered as a random variable

Law of Salt Tide Intrusion of the Qiantang Estuary and Its Numerical Simulation [PDF]
The Qiantang Estuary is characterized by strong tidal bore, high sediment concentration, severe erosion/deposition and frequent human activities. The law of saltwater intrusion is different from other general tidal estuary. This chapter reveals the law of interaction among runoff, channel volume and salinity by means of the analysis of the long-term ...

Characteristics of tidal-bore deposits and facies associations in the Qiantang Estuary, China
Marine Geology, 2014Abstract The characteristics of tidal-bore deposition in the Qiantang Estuary are studied on the basis of core strata and grain-size data, and lateral and longitudinal associations with other sedimentary facies are synthesized. A typical depositional package by tidal bores and associated flows is generally initiated with (1) an undular/planar erosion

Provenance of Holocene sediments in the outer part of the Paleo-Qiantang River estuary, China
Marine Geology, 2015Abstract Core SE2 from the landward part of the modern Qiantang River (QR) estuary contains a 50 + m-thick succession of late Pleistocene to Holocene deposits that records the transgressive–regressive environmental transition from fluvial sedimentation, through a paleo-estuary phase and shallow-marine deposition, to the modern estuarine setting.
