采砂活动对三峡坝下游沙质河段泥沙冲淤影响研究
Analysis of the Impact of Sand Mining on Erosion and Sedimentation of Sandy River Section Downstream of the Three Gorges Dam
以三峡工程为核心的梯级水库群联合调度运用改变了坝下游水沙条件,引起长时间、长距离的冲淤调整,尤其是近坝段沙质河床调整显著。长江沿线经济建设的飞速发展促进了对长江流域江砂资源的需求,坝下游采砂活动使得近坝段河床冲淤、洲滩调整过程更为复杂。为探究采砂对坝下游沙质河段泥沙冲淤特性的影响,以坝下游沙市河段为例,基于Delft3D建立了平面2维水沙数值模型,模拟了采砂活动影响下河段泥沙冲淤变化过程,分析了采砂前后河段冲淤分布、含沙量分布、冲淤量变化等。结果表明:河槽内百万m3量级采砂坑对其上下游约1 km范围内泥沙冲淤变幅略有影响,幅度为-0.1~0.1 m;对整个河段冲淤特性影响较小,采砂前后河段整体冲淤量变化约为6%;采砂坑恢复能力与该河段来水来沙关系密切,正常水文年的年均回淤率为10%~25%,而在异常水文年(大水大沙)的年均回淤率可达50%,其恢复周期约为4~10 a。
Objective The joint operation of cascade reservoirs with the Three Gorges Project as the core has changed the water and sediment conditions downstream of the dam, causing long-term and long-distance erosion and sedimentation adjustments, especially significant adjustments to the sandy riverbed near the dam section. The rapid economic development of the Yangtze River region has strengthened the demand for river sand resources in the Yangtze River Basin. Due to the dramatic sand mining activities in the downstream of the Three Gorges Dam, serious changes in the river bed level occurred, as well as beach adjustment became more complex. Since the Three Gorges Reservoir impoundment operation, the Sanday River section downstream of the Three Gorges Dam has generally shown a scouring trend, with significant changes in the pattern of beach troughs and continental shoals, and the main stream of the branch channel oscillating more, in the process of a strong adjustment of riverbed. To explore the impact of sand mining on the sediment transport process in the sandy river section, this study selected the Shashi River section as an example and constructed a two-dimensional (2D) water and sediment transport numerical model based on Delft3D. Methods The model adopts an orthogonal adherent curve grid, the number of grids is 156×27, the grid length in the river direction is 60~100 m, the grid length in the river width direction is 20~40 m, and the grid is interpolated by using the measured topographic data of August 2018, and the inlet and outlet boundary conditions are based on the observed flow discharge and sediment concentration data of Shashi Hydrological Station from 2019 to 2021. The median sediment size is 250 µm, the initial river bed active layer thickness is 10 m, and the sediment module uses a non-equilibrium sediment transport mode with a calculation time step of 24 s. Verification of the variations in water level and sedimentation was carried out, the maximum water level difference between calculated and measured data is 0.08 m, and the water level simulation accuracy value of RMSE is 0.92, and the simulated scouring and sedimentation pattern was similar to the pattern for the measured distribution, the maximum scour depth in the main channel is about 6 m, and the amplitude of scour and deposition is 3~5 m, the measured scouring volume of the river section is 35.13 million m3 while the simulated volume of 39.45 million m3 with the relative error of 12%. The simulated river bed level changes of typical cross-sections agree well with the measured topographic change trend except for some areas disturbed by the human activities. The simulation results indicate that the developed 2D numerical model has the capable of investigating the influence of sand mining on the river pattern changes in the Shashi River Section. Next, the generalized sand mining pits were set in the Shashi River section based on the investigation of the sand mining activities, and simulated and analyzed the changes in erosion-deposition pattern and sediment concentration distribution with and without sand mining. Results and Discussions The analysis results indicate that small-scale river sand mining has a relatively tiny effect on the sediment transport process in the Shashi River section. The influence range of sediment concentration is within 1 km upstream and downstream of the sand mining pit, and the variation in the sediment concentration during the dry season is 0.004~0.006 kg/m3. During the flood season, a significant change occurs primarily in the area of sand mining pits, with the maximum variation being 0.016 kg/m3. However, the erosion and deposition characteristics of the river section remain unchanged, with the main erosion and deposition distribution being comparable under both sand mining and non-sand mining conditions. The sand mining pit has a slight effect on the sediment scouring and siltation pattern in the upstream and downstream of the pit within a range of about 1 km, and the changes in the river bed level were -0.1~0.1 m. The sediment behavior triggered by the increase of near-bottom flow velocity in the upstream of the sandpit resulted in a tiny increase in erosion. Nevertheless, the Shashi River section under sand mining conditions has witnessed a 2.25 million m3 reduction in erosion amount compared to the condition without sand mining. The amount of erosion and sedimentation in the Shashi River section varies by 6% with and without sand mining. The self-recovery capabilities of the sand excavation pits are closely related to the local incoming water and sediment discharge. Both 2019 and 2021 were normal hydrological years with sediment discharges of approximately 18.8 million tons, whereas 2020 was a year of high water and sediment discharge, resulting in a sediment discharge of 58.7 million tons. The averaged annual deposition rate of the borrow pits is 10%~25%, with a deposition depth of 0.9~1.3 meters and a recovery period of about 4~10 years. However, in abnormal hydrological years (such as high water and sediment discharge), the recovery deposition volume increased to 600 thousand m3, the maximum sedimentation depth reached 7 m, and the mean annual sedimentation rate can attain to 50%. In years of high water and sediment discharge, the recovery period of sand pits is shortened. Conclusions This paper explores the impact of small-scale sand mining activities on the erosion and deposition characteristics in the typically sandy river section downstream of the Three Gorge Dam, utilizing the developed two-dimensional (2D) water and sediment transport numerical model. The conclusions of this study provide more accurate and reliable foundational conditions for studying sediment issues in the downstream of the Three Gorges Dam, conducting numerical simulations, creating physical models, and offer substantial support for the scientific management of sand mining in the planning stages along the Yangtze River Basin.
