Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of groundwater remediation and simulation technology, and specifically to an experimental device and a simulation method for the coupling of tides and underground dams to affect the migration of terrestrial solutes. Background Art

[0002] Coastal aquifers are located in the sea-land interaction zone and carry important ecological and economic functions. The migration and distribution of salt-fresh water mixing zones and terrigenous solutes (nutrients, heavy metals and organic pollutants, etc.) are affected by a variety of complex factors, which may cause a series of ecological and environmental problems. On the one hand, tides, as one of the significant marine dynamics in coastal areas, form active mixing zones in the intertidal zone, changing the migration path and retention time of terrigenous solutes; on the other hand, physical barrier projects such as underground dams, which are widely built to prevent seawater intrusion, change the flow field of aquifers, causing terrigenous solutes to be retained on the upstream side of underground dams and mixed with residual salt water. The difficulty of studying the migration mechanism of terrigenous solutes under the dual driving force of tides and underground dams lies in the immaturity of physical experimental equipment and the large error between simulation and actual process. In-depth analysis of the response of terrigenous solute migration to the coupling of tides and underground dams has important scientific significance and practical value for the protection and management of coastal groundwater resources.

[0003] At present, the research on the transport of terrigenous solutes is mostly concentrated on numerical simulation methods, and most of them focus on the influence of a single ocean driving force such as tides, without considering the role of human activities such as underground dams, making it difficult to accurately characterize the hydrodynamic process of coastal aquifers under underground physical barrier conditions. In addition, there is a lack of physical experimental equipment for studying the transport of terrigenous solutes under the coupling of tides and underground dams. The research on the transport of terrigenous solutes that relies on numerical simulation lacks indoor experimental support, making it difficult to verify its reliability. The law of terrigenous solute transport under the coupling of tides and underground dams is more complicated and is still unclear at this stage. There are still deficiencies in the experimental and simulation techniques for analyzing the influence of multiple factors on the transport of terrigenous solutes. Summary of the invention

In this method, parameters such as the release position and concentration of terrigenous solutes, tidal amplitude and frequency, and underground dam height can be adjusted, which is conducive to in-depth research on the migration process of terrigenous solutes under different hydrodynamic conditions; at the same time, by selecting quartz sand with different particle sizes and gradations, homogeneous aquifers or layered heterogeneous aquifers can be simulated to reflect different hydrogeological conditions.

The sand trough is made of tempered glass plate, with a length × height × width of 1.2 m × 0.45 m × 0.02 m. In order to simulate the cross section of a two-dimensional unconfined aquifer, the sand trough adopts a smaller width to facilitate the observation of the distribution of terrigenous solutes in the cross section. The aquifer height is 0.35 m, the slope of the coastal slope is 1:2.5, and the height of the ocean side boundary is 0.15 m. A narrow slot is set at 0.5 m from the sea boundary of the sand trough to divide the sand trough into the downstream side and the upstream side. An extractable underground dam with a water retaining height of 0.12 m is set in the narrow slot.

[0031] The present invention is used to analyze the influence of tide and underground dam coupling on the migration of terrigenous solutes, including the following parts: 1. Physical experiment part: prepare deionized water as fresh water, and prepare simulated seawater with a salinity of 35 ppt. The specific method is as follows: add sodium chloride to deionized water, stir continuously until it is completely dissolved, and dye it with red food dye to facilitate visualization of the distribution of invading salt water. Use a salinometer to measure the density and salinity of the salt water, so that the salt water density is accurately stabilized at 1025 kg / m³ and the salinity is stabilized at 35 ppt; prepare a conservative terrigenous solute solution with a salinity of 0 ppt, and dye it with bright blue food dye to facilitate visualization of the distribution of terrigenous solutes; prepare quartz sand with an average particle size of 0.60~1.25 mm, rinse it with deionized water several times and dry it; insert a baffle between the sand trough and the salt water trough to prevent salt water from infiltrating the sand trough, inject fresh water into the sand trough, and fill in quartz sand layer by layer. Note that the water level exceeds the quartz sand by 5 cm during the sand filling process to avoid bubbles and stratification. The filling height of the ocean boundary is 0.15m, and a slope with a slope of 1:2.5 is formed on the upper part of the sea boundary. The filling height of the fresh water boundary is 0.35 m; the water levels in the salt water tank and the fresh water tank were adjusted to 0.29 m and 0.298 m respectively, the baffle between the sand tank and the salt water tank was removed to simulate the invasion of seawater from the bottom of the sand tank, and the peristaltic pump above the porous medium slope at the top of the sand tank was turned on to absorb surface fresh water to maintain a stable salt water concentration; after the seawater intrusion reached a stable state, the tidal control system was started, and the tidal amplitude was set to 0.02 m and the period was 60 s, so that the variable height overflow device moved up and down periodically to simulate the sinusoidal tide, and the formation of the upper salt water plume and the change of the salt water wedge were observed; after the seawater intrusion reached a quasi-steady state again, an acrylic plate with a water retaining height of 0.12 m was slowly inserted into the narrow slot as an underground dam, and at the same time, a terrigenous solute solution was introduced through an injection device at a position 0.8 m away from the sea boundary and 0.05 m high. During the experiment, a camera was used to take high-resolution digital photos of the experimental tank at regular intervals to observe and record the migration process of terrigenous solutes; 2. Numerical simulation: According to the physical experiment part, a numerical model of groundwater flow and solute transport based on physical processes was established with the sand tank size and divided into grids. The boundary heads of seawater and freshwater were set to 0.29 m and 0.298 m respectively, and the pressure value of each subdivided cell was calculated and assigned. The hydrogeological parameters related to the numerical model were confirmed according to the parameters such as the porosity and permeability coefficient of the porous media in the physical experiment, and the mass conservation equation of the multi-component solute was solved to obtain the model eigenvalues. The static boundary numerical model was run to update the grid salinity value, pressure value and flow velocity and other eigenvalues ​​of each time step until the steady state was reached. The tidal amplitude was set to 0.02 m and the period was 60 s. The dynamic boundary numerical model was run to update the grid salinity value, pressure value and flow velocity and other eigenvalues ​​of each time step until the steady state was reached. The impermeable area in the numerical model was set to a rectangular area with a distance of 0.5 m from the sea boundary, a width of 0.01 m and a height of 0.12 m, and the initial position (0.8 m, 0.05 m) and the concentration of 0.1 were set. g / L, run the terrigenous solute transport model, and update the grid terrigenous solute concentration value, salinity value, flow velocity and other characteristic values ​​at each time step until the terrigenous solute is completely discharged into the ocean boundary; 3. Imaging analysis and verification part: Import the digital photos of the physical experiment into the image processing software, crop the sand trough part in the photo, establish the coordinate system and add scales to obtain the spatiotemporal distribution of terrigenous solute migration. On the preprocessed image, according to the migration time of the physical experiment model, draw the isoconcentration lines of the numerical model of terrigenous solute migration corresponding to the running time, compare the isoconcentration lines with the edge of the solute staining in the physical experiment, and verify the reliability of the simulation; according to the comparison between the isoconcentration lines and the edge of the staining of the physical experiment, estimate the concentration of terrigenous solutes in the stained part of the physical experiment, calculate the residence time, diffusion area and migration path of terrigenous solutes, and analyze the migration characteristics of terrigenous solutes; compare and verify the experimental results under different scenarios, and study the influence mechanism of the coupling of tides and underground dams on the migration of terrigenous solutes.

[0032] The examples are used to study the distribution of aquifer streamlines under the influence of underground dams with and without tidal conditions. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the numbers above the streamlines represent the total residence time of particles moving along the streamline trajectory in the aquifer, and the migration process of terrigenous solutes under the coupling of tides and underground dams is analyzed, as shown in Figure 3As shown in the figure, the black solid line represents the 50% and 90% isoconcentration lines of terrigenous solutes. The results show that tidal action causes the aquifer to form a new circulation in the intertidal zone, and the migration speed of the freshwater area slows down; under the coupling of tide and underground dam, a low-velocity area is formed on the upstream side of the underground dam that is higher than the minimum effective dam height, blocking the terrigenous solute plume, causing it to rise along the edge of the salt water wedge, cross the top of the underground dam, and discharge into the sea through the freshwater discharge channel. Some terrigenous solutes mix with the residual salt water upstream of the underground dam and stay in the low-velocity area behind the dam for a long time. Tidal action causes the direction and size of the flow field in the aquifer to change periodically, prolonging the residence time of terrigenous solutes, increasing the diffusion area, enhancing the longitudinal diffusion but weakening the lateral diffusion. This change is more significant under larger tidal amplitudes; the higher the height of the underground dam, the longer the residence time of terrigenous solutes.

According to the height and position of the underground dam (9) in the physical experiment, the impermeable area in the numerical model is set, and the initial position and concentration of the terrigenous solute are set, and the terrigenous solute transport model is run to update the grid terrigenous solute concentration value, salinity value, pressure value and flow rate at each time step until the terrigenous solute is completely discharged into the salt water boundary; The imaging analysis verification process includes: S3-1. Import the physical experiment photo into the image processing software, cut out the sand trough (2) part and establish a coordinate system, and mark the scale; S3-2. On the processed image, according to the migration time of the physical experimental model, the isoconcentration lines of the terrigenous solute migration numerical model corresponding to the operation time are drawn, and the isoconcentration lines of the terrigenous solute are compared with the solute dyeing edge of the physical experiment to verify the reliability of the simulation; S3-3. Estimate the concentration of terrigenous solutes in the stained part of the physical experiment by comparing the isoconcentration lines with the edges of the physical experiment staining, calculate the residence time, diffusion area and migration path of terrigenous solutes, and analyze the migration characteristics of terrigenous solutes.
