Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water environment simulation and control, specifically a method for calculating phosphorus transport and distribution based on the sedimentation probability of suspended sediment. Background Technology
[0002] Changes in sediment movement, particle size distribution, and pollutant adsorption characteristics directly affect the content and form of pollutants. Phosphorus in water can be divided into soluble and particulate forms, and it migrates along with sediment movement in water bodies. On the one hand, particulate phosphorus settles to the bottom of the sediment, reducing the amount of pollutants in the water. Under certain conditions, pollutants deposited on the bottom can re-enter the water body with the flushed sediment. On the other hand, when external conditions such as hydrochemistry and hydrodynamics change, adsorbed phosphorus on the sediment will dynamically exchange with dissolved phosphorus in the water. The movement and transport of suspended sediment in the water directly affect the distribution and spatiotemporal distribution of phosphorus between the solid and liquid phases. Sediment is a mixture with a wide particle size distribution, and its particle size composition is one of the main factors affecting the settling rate and the adsorption and desorption rate of pollutants.
[0003] Mathematical models of river sediment phosphorus transport processes are effective tools for solving reservoir engineering management problems. The earliest model to simulate the impact of sediment on water quality was the Thomas model, followed by the Velez-Gannon model and the Dobbins-Comp model. However, these models describe various sediment movement processes with a single constant parameter, failing to reflect the impact of sediment transport on pollutant migration (He Yong, Li Yitian, Gao Huicai, Wang Jiasheng. Research on sediment pollution water quality models [J]. Journal of Sichuan University (Engineering Science Edition), 2004, 6: 12-17.). Many researchers have proposed and established water quality models for sediment-laden water bodies, introducing different parameters to consider the impact of sediment movement on phosphorus transport. Chu Junda et al. (Chu Junda, Xu Huici. Study on the impact of river sediment scouring and settling on water quality. Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1994, 11, 42-47, 69.) started from the pollution convection and diffusion equation, introduced particulate pollutants, and considered the influence of sediment scouring, settling and release, and derived a one-dimensional water quality model; Yu Xuezhong established a one-dimensional transport and transformation phase separation model of dissolved and adsorbed pollutants (Yu Xuezhong, Yang Zhifeng, Zhong Deyu, Peng Qidong. Mathematical model of interaction between river sediment and pollutants [J]. Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2006, 1: 10-15.). Huang Lei et al. introduced the theory of bed sediment-suspended sediment exchange in river dynamics and established a phase-separation model of the river hydrodynamic-sediment-phosphorus transport process (Huang Lei, Fang Hongwei, Wang Jingyu, et al. Mathematical model study on river sediment-phosphorus transport process [J]. Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2014, 4: 394-402.). This model considers the different distribution ratios of phosphorus in the bottom sediment from a mechanistic perspective, focusing on the phosphorus exchange between the aerobic and anoxic layers of the bottom sediment layer under scouring and deposition. However, the sedimentation coefficient in the phosphorus transport transformation equation of this model is only a fixed empirical constant (i.e., the steady settling velocity of the population). This generalized approach ignores the obstruction of sedimentation of particulate phosphorus in the water layer and the multiphase interactions of sediments of different particle sizes, and lacks the basic theory of sedimentation process. Therefore, this type of model is more suitable for studying the environmental behavior of phosphorus in sediments of large lake-type reservoirs with less external disturbance. However, for natural rivers or river-type reservoirs, due to the large annual variation of hydrodynamic conditions in the reservoir area and the obvious spatial variation along the route, the transport and sedimentation characteristics of sediments of different particle sizes and the particulate phosphorus they carry under the influence of human water and sediment regulation have significant spatiotemporal differences. The simplified treatment of the sedimentation process may have a significant impact on the simulation results.
[0004] During the process of developing this invention, the inventors discovered that existing water-sediment pollutant coupling models or technologies have significant shortcomings:
[0005] (1) Existing sediment-water quality mathematical models overgeneralize the key influencing factor of sediment particle size. In the simulation, the median particle size is used as the sediment particle size. This simplification is more suitable for sediment with short transport distance and relatively uniform particle size. However, sediment can usually be divided into clay, silt, very fine sand, fine sand and coarse sand according to particle size. The median particle size often cannot reflect the true particle composition of sediment. Moreover, for long-distance sediment transport, as the hydrodynamic conditions change, the range of movement, settling distance and movement state of sediment with different particle sizes show huge differences. For example, coarse sand usually settles at the tail of the reservoir, while fine sand is deposited in front of the dam and can adsorb and enrich more pollutants.
[0006] (2) Secondly, during the movement of sediment particles, pollutants such as phosphorus are redistributed between the particulate and dissolved phases. The distribution coefficient is usually determined by selecting representative particle sizes and calculating it using Langmuir adsorption models through isothermal oscillation adsorption and desorption experiments. The sediment particle size is normally distributed, and the particle size after oscillation has changed significantly from that before the experiment. Therefore, the distribution coefficient cannot scientifically reflect the influence of sediment particle size or composition on the interconversion between particulate phosphorus and dissolved phosphorus. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies, this invention provides a method for calculating phosphorus transport and distribution based on the settling probability of suspended sediment. This method considers the full particle size composition of sediment, analyzes the particle size distribution of river sediment, calculates the settling rate and transport distance of sediment of all particle sizes based on the sediment settling probability, obtains the phosphorus distribution coefficient of sediment particles of different sizes based on indoor experiments, and constructs a phosphorus transport model based on sediment settling probability, which can comprehensively analyze the environmental effects of sediment transport of all particle sizes.

[0010] Step 2: Initially determine the flow regime based on the particle size of the grouped sediment particles, calculate the sediment particle settling velocity based on the flow regime, and then verify the accuracy of the determined flow regime by calculating the Reynolds number. If it does not belong to the discriminant flow layer, assume another flow regime and calculate the settling velocity until the correct result is obtained. Correct the sediment mass settling velocity based on the suspended sediment concentration and synthesize the sediment settling velocities of different particle size groups.
[0011] Step 3: Calculate the particle phosphorus settling probability using the sediment settling probability density function based on the settling velocity of sediment of all particle sizes.

[0078] Step 3: Calculate the particle phosphorus settling probability using the sediment settling probability density function (Equation 10) based on the sediment settling velocity of all particle sizes (Equation 8).
[0079] The model assumes that sediment particles settle to the bottom with a certain probability, varying between 0 and 1. Extensive experimental observations confirm that the velocity of sediment particles follows a Gaussian normal distribution, with the following density function:

Adsorption rate k α The results can be obtained through indoor adsorption kinetic experiments. The kinetic equations are fitted using an intraparticle diffusion model, first-order kinetics, and second-order kinetics, respectively, and the best fitting parameters are selected based on the coefficient of determination.

[0091] k p =f(d,P i (12)
[0092] k s =f(S) (13)
[0093] k α =f(k) p ,k s (14)
[0094] Step 6: Analyze the changes in dissolved and adsorbed phosphorus along the flow path using a phosphorus phase transport model, extract data from specific cross-sections, and obtain phosphorus distribution characteristics. The distribution characteristics of dissolved and adsorbed phosphorus are obtained based on the ratio of the two phosphorus forms.
[0095] The expression for the adsorbed phase phosphorus is as follows:
[0096]
[0097]
[0098] In the formula C sThe phosphorus content of the adsorbed phase of sediment is N, which represents the sediment particle size group, and Q is the phosphorus content of the adsorbed phase. si P represents the phosphorus content of the adsorbed phase of the i-th sediment group. i Let be the percentage of sediment mass in the i-th group.
[0099] The governing equation for phosphorus transport employs a phase-separation model, including dissolved phosphorus (C) in the water body. w ), phosphorus adsorbed on suspended sand (C) s The specific expression is as follows:
[0100]
[0101]
[0102] In the formula, A is the control cross-sectional area; C b C s C w These represent the contents of bed sand, suspended sediment, and pollutants in the water body, respectively; S is the average sediment concentration of the cross section; S * D represents the average sand-carrying capacity of the cross section. x α is the longitudinal dispersion coefficient; ω is the recovery saturation coefficient; B is the particle settling velocity; k is the river width; α The adsorption rate, i.e., the rate of change of the amount of sediment adsorbed per unit mass per unit time, is k. α >0 indicates sediment adsorption, and vice versa; U is the average cross-sectional velocity; dC w / dt represents the biochemical reaction term; σ represents the pollutant release rate per unit river length; and r represents the emission source strength.
[0103] The sand-carrying capacity is calculated using Zhang Ruijin's formula, with a particle size distribution correction factor introduced:

[0109] By introducing appropriate boundary and initial conditions, and importing the topographic and hydrodynamic parameters measured in step 1, the above equations are numerically solved using the finite difference method. Since the suspended sediment concentration and turbulence parameters, as well as the dissolved phase phosphorus content and adsorbed phase phosphorus content, are mutually influential and restrictive, iterative calculations are required at each time step. When the maximum absolute error between two iterations is <10... -5 Only after this time step can the calculation proceed to the next time step. During the calculation process, the concentration of suspended sediment is first obtained through the water flow equation and the suspended sediment movement equation. Substituting this into the phosphorus transport equation, the spatiotemporal distribution of dissolved phosphorus and adsorbed phosphorus can be obtained.
[0110] The following is a specific example to illustrate this:
[0111] Step 1: Select a typical river channel as the study area and divide it into typical monitoring sections as needed. Use an underwater laser in-situ particle size analyzer (LISST-200X) to conduct on-site online monitoring of suspended sediment gradation. Measure topographic data on-site, and simultaneously determine suspended sediment concentration (S), water temperature (T), and flow velocity (U). The topographic data includes river width (B) and water depth (H).
[0112] Step 2: Based on the sediment gradation grouping, considering parameters such as on-site temperature, sediment concentration in each group, and sediment bulk density, select an appropriate calculation formula to calculate the average sediment settling rate of each group. By combining the proportion of sediment in each group, the sediment settling rate of all particle sizes in each group is obtained.
[0113] Step 3: Based on the principle of calculating the trajectory of particulate phosphorus, considering the flow velocity along both the water flow and depth directions, calculate the trajectory of particulate phosphorus in layers and segments (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). The distance traveled from point 1 to point 2 along the direction of the water flow is L. x The distance traveled along the water depth direction is L. z t represents the time it takes for the phosphorus particle to move from point 1 to point 2.
[0114] When Ps = 50%, the sediment transport distance can be calculated using the following formula:
[0115]
[0116] In the formula L c ω represents the longitudinal distance of sediment deposition; ω represents the particle settling velocity. The vertical average velocity of the water flow is given.
[0117] When Ps = 15.85%, take The transport distance of sediment particles is:
[0118]
[0119] j represents the hydraulic gradient.
[0120] Step 4: Based on the on-site monitoring data, set the boundary conditions for the hydrodynamic model, sediment transport model, and phosphorus transport model according to the upstream water and sediment characteristics and water quality monitoring results, and determine the values of the main parameters in the model.
[0121] Step 5: Introduce the corresponding boundary conditions and initial conditions (Table 1), and use the finite difference method to numerically solve the above equations. Figure 4 The figure shows the calculated trajectories of phosphorus particles transported in the surface water at four cross-sections. The transport distance of sediment particles at these four points can reach 200–350 km. Figure 5 The comparison between the phosphorus concentration in the particulate phase of water calculated by the phase separation model and the measured phosphorus concentration in the particulate phase is shown. The difference between the model calculation result and the actual value is generally less than 20%.
