Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of seawater intrusion prevention and control, specifically to an air curtain anti-salinity technology, and more particularly to a three-dimensional numerical simulation method, device and storage medium for an air curtain anti-salinity technology. Background Art
[0002] In rivers with abundant freshwater, saltwater intrusion has minimal impact. However, for rivers in northern China with low runoff, the impact is more pronounced. With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, water demand in these rivers has increased dramatically upstream. Dams have been built on tributaries to intercept the incoming water, resulting in decreasing runoff each year. Saltwater is increasingly flowing upstream, leading to a gradual salinization of the riverbed. This salty freshwater not only causes soil salinization, resulting in the deterioration of water quality in numerous wells and a significant decline in agricultural output, but also worsens groundwater quality in coastal plains. Building new water sources or adding pipelines increases production costs. Furthermore, increased chloride ion content and total hardness in the water increase water treatment costs, reduce product quality, and severely corrode production equipment and pipelines. To prevent saltwater intrusion and contamination of freshwater, ship locks have been installed at the mouths of certain navigable rivers. These ship locks act as a saltwater prevention measure, blocking seawater intrusion into freshwater rivers and protecting freshwater resources and the ecological environment.
[0003] When the end of a ship lock is located in a tidal zone, it is affected by factors such as seawater tides, resulting in many differences from ship locks in inland waterways. The most notable point is its use in bidirectional head conditions, which requires consideration of reducing saltwater intrusion. The basic principle of saltwater intrusion through ship locks: without any special anti-salinity measures, due to the difference in density between saltwater and freshwater, saltwater will flow in from the bottom of the ship lock, while freshwater will flow out from the top of the ship lock, forming a heterogeneous flow and causing a replacement of saltwater and freshwater, thereby filling the ship lock space. Then, when a ship passes through the lock, saltwater will intrude from the ship lock into the inland freshwater channel, causing the freshwater to become salty.
[0004] In order to reduce the salinization of freshwater caused by the intrusion of seawater through ship locks, people have comprehensively analyzed the existing ship lock anti-salinization measures and technologies, and summarized several ship lock anti-salinization measures: (1) Air curtain facilities: by setting a perforated pipe under the ship lock sill, compressed air is used to release bubbles to form an upwelling, reducing or delaying the exchange of fresh and salt water, thus achieving a partial anti-salinization effect; (2) Facilities for directly discharging invading salt water: a salt collection pit is set under the sill of the lock on the freshwater channel side, and is connected to the salt water side through a salt drainage corridor. When the water level on the freshwater side of the canal is higher than that on the tidal river side, the salt water is discharged into the tidal river side through the salt collection pit and corridor; anti-salt facilities for replacing the water in the lock chamber: when the ship enters the lock chamber, all the water in the lock chamber will be replaced to ensure that when the gate on the freshwater canal side is opened, the water quality in the lock chamber is the same as that of the canal (and vice versa for ships entering and exiting the saltwater side). In order to prevent the bottom of the ship from hitting the bottom plate of the lock chamber during the water replacement process, fresh water must be poured in while discharging the salt water (and vice versa), so it is also called simultaneous replacement method. During the replacement process, the inflow or outflow of seawater is carried out through the corridor set at the bottom of the lock chamber and the holes in the lock bottom plate, while the inflow or outflow of fresh water is carried out through the lock chamber through the porous culvert set on the side of the lock chamber; Pumping facilities: The anti-salinity measure of the pumping method is to set up a pump room at the bow of the lock on the fresh water side. When the water level on the salt water side is higher than the fresh water side, after the ship enters the lock chamber from the fresh water side, the pump will pump water from the fresh water side to the lock chamber. After the water in the lock chamber is flush with the salt water side, the salt water side gate will be opened to pass the ship. This method can only partially reduce the intrusion of salt water. During the gate opening process, salt water will still be replaced with fresh water in the form of heterogeneous flow.
[0005] According to the working principles, applicable scope and effects of the aforementioned various anti-salinity facilities for ship locks, it can be seen that air curtain anti-salinity is more suitable for large-scale application in anti-salinity design of ship locks because of its adaptability to different anti-salinity requirements and its advantages of simple setting and low cost.
[0006] In 1960, Laren demonstrated the principle of air curtains for preventing salinity in estuaries through theoretical analysis and physical experiments. In 1964, Abraham et al. demonstrated the mechanism of air curtains for preventing salinity in ship locks through theoretical analysis combined with field experiments. In 1967, the United States conducted air curtain experiments for preventing salinity in the New York Harbor waterway, demonstrating their effectiveness. In the 1990s, Japan also conducted a series of field and laboratory experiments to analyze the factors influencing air curtains for preventing salinity. In China, Li Yongzhen tested the effectiveness of air curtains for preventing salinity in 1982 through experiments at the New York Harbor ship locks. A series of experimental studies have shown that the effectiveness of air curtains for preventing salinity is related to the intensity of the bubble plume, the density difference between fresh and salt water, and runoff volume (if any).
[0007] However, there are few studies on numerical simulation methods for air curtain anti-salinity, and the only ones are based on the solute transport model constructed by gas-liquid two-phase. When used to simulate air curtain anti-salinity for saltwater intrusion in ship locks, there are problems of poor precision and inaccurate simulation effects, which is not conducive to guiding the design and construction of ship lock anti-salinity projects.
