3D Hydrodynamic and Water Quality Simulation of North Jiangsu offshore Sea Based on EFDC

摘要

There are complicated underwater topographies in the offshore sea area of north Jiangsu, including the middle radial sand ridges and northern Haizhou bay underwater shoal. So there form special marine dynamic conditions and typical shoal wetland ecosystem. Previous main researches of these sea areas were focused in the forms of morphogenesis and the characteristic of conformation of sand ridges. Few studies have done on three dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality simulation. This paper introduced EFDC to study the tidal current fields, dilution and diffusion of the sewage outlet near Yangkou Port. Comparison between computation results and the observed data indicates that this model could reasonably simulate hydrodynamic fields. Based on the computed tidal current fields, the distributions of COD concentration were simulated. The range of contamination diffusion derived from sewage outlet was very limited, and the influence range of sewage came to the maximum when ebb slacks in neap tide period.
