Considering the coupled heat transfer effect induced by parallel cross-river road tunnels, the long-term soil temperature variations of shallow sections of cross-river tunnels under the river beach are predicted using the finite difference method for numerical simulation. The boundary conditions and the initial values are determined by in situ observations and numerical iterations.The simulation results indicate that the ultimate calculated steady heat transfer time is 68 years, and most of the heat transfer is completed in 20 years.The initial constant temperature soil surrounding the tunnels is transformed to an annually variable one.An obvious temperature-varying region of the surrounding soil is discovered within 5 m from the tunnel exterior, as well as within the entire range of soil between the two tunnels.The maximum temperature increase value reaches 7.14 ℃ and the maximum peak-to-valley value of annual temperature increase reaches 10 ℃.The temperature variation of soils surrounding tunnels below 10 m is completely controlled by the heat transfer from the tunnels.The coupled heat transfer effect is confirmed because the ultimate steady temperature of soil between the two tunnels is higher than the ones along other positions.Moreover, the regression model comprising a series of univariate functions is proposed for the annual soil temperature fluctuation estimation for the locations varied distances around the tunnel.This investigation is beneficial to gain an insight into the long-term variation tendencies of local engineering geological conditions of the river beach above shallow sections of the cross-river road tunnels.%在考虑并行隧道耦合传热的前提下，预测越江公路隧道江岸浅埋段地温的长期演化，使用有限差分法进行数值模拟，通过现场观测与数值迭代方式确定边界条件与初值．模拟结果表明：最终的计算稳定传热时间为68年，但传热在20年内即基本完成；隧道周围的初始恒温土层最终被转变为年变温土层；隧道外侧5 m及两孔之间出现了一个显著变温区，其最大温升值为7．14℃，最大年度温升的峰谷值为10℃；隧道周围10 m以下土层的温度变化仅由隧道传热所控制；两孔之间土层的最终稳定温度要高于其他位置的最终稳定温度，证实了耦合传热效应的存在．此外，还提出了一组单变量函数的回归模型，用以估计隧道周围不同位置土层的年度温度波动量．该研究将有助于深入探究隧道浅埋段所穿越江滩区域工程地质条件的长期演化趋势．
