Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the determination of the effective diffusion coefficient at the water-sand interface, and more specifically to a system and method for determining the effective diffusion coefficient at the water-sand interface. Background Technology
[0002] The water-sediment interface is the transition zone between surface water and bottom sediment, controlling the bidirectional migration and exchange of nutrients, heavy metals, organic pollutants, and other substances. Effective diffusion coefficient. The effective diffusion coefficient is a crucial parameter describing the migration rate of interfacial materials and plays a fundamental role in aquatic environment simulation, water quality prediction, pollutant fate analysis, and river ecological restoration design. Existing methods for determining the effective diffusion coefficient at the water-sediment interface mainly include still-water experiments and in-situ probe methods. Still-water experiments typically use transparent cylinders or reactors, calculating the diffusion coefficient under static conditions through tracer experiments and offline sampling analysis. This method is simple in setup but cannot reflect the influence of hydrodynamic shear on interfacial material migration under flowing water conditions, and the sampling and analysis process is prone to human error. In-situ probe methods can directly obtain the concentration gradient of pore water in sediments in actual water bodies, thereby calculating the effective diffusion coefficient. However, these methods involve expensive equipment, complex operation, limited measurement points, difficulty in generating continuous dynamic data, and insufficient stability under flowing water conditions.
[0003] In recent years, some studies have used open channels or circulating water tanks to simulate dynamic water conditions. However, such devices generally require the installation of return water and energy dissipation facilities, making the systems complex and prone to backflow hydraulic interference. At the same time, existing experiments often rely on manual sampling, lack real-time monitoring methods, and are difficult to synchronize with flow field parameters; in terms of data processing, empirical formulas are mostly used, failing to achieve coupled analysis of hydrodynamic and mass transport processes.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have the following shortcomings in determining the effective diffusion coefficient at the water-sand interface:
[0005] (1) There is a lack of controllable experimental platforms that can simulate the real hydrodynamic characteristics under dynamic water conditions;
[0006] (2) The measurement method relies on offline sampling, which has low spatiotemporal resolution and is prone to large errors;
[0007] (3) The data analysis methods are not perfect and it is difficult to fully reveal the influence of factors such as flow rate, porosity and particle size on the effective diffusion coefficient.
[0008] In summary, there is an urgent need for an experimental system and method that can simulate the hydraulic environment of a river under dynamic water conditions, and combine online monitoring and automated data analysis to achieve continuous, dynamic and accurate determination of the effective diffusion coefficient of the water-sediment interface. Summary of the Invention

[0062] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a system for determining the effective diffusion coefficient of the water-sand interface according to the present invention includes a transparent annular water tank. The annular water tank is composed of an inner cylinder 1 and an outer cylinder 2 arranged concentrically, and a bottom plate 10 connecting the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2, thereby forming a closed annular channel. In this embodiment, the inner radius of the annular channel is 0.8 m, the width of the channel is 0.3 m, and the effective water depth is 0.5 m. Both the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are made of plexiglass. The inner and outer walls of the annular water tank are transparent to facilitate PIV imaging. A sediment tank is placed at the bottom of the annular water tank, and the sediment tank is filled with bottom sediment. The thickness of the bottom sediment layer is controlled by changing the sediment tank, and the thickness range of the bottom sediment layer is [missing information]. A height-adjustable rotary power control device 5 is installed in the center of the annular water tank. In this embodiment, an automatic lifting rod 4 is installed on the bottom surface of the rotary power control device 5 to adjust its height. The rotary power control device 5 is used for closed-loop setting and stabilizing the average flow velocity in the water tank. The data acquisition system 8 includes a multi-channel acquisition card, a signal processing module, and a communication interface, used to convert the control signals issued by the computer into frequency signals and feed them back to the rotary power control device 5 to achieve closed-loop speed regulation. The rotary power control device 5 is connected to the computer 9 through the data acquisition system 8 to achieve speed setting. A PIV particle image velocimeter 6 is installed outside the annular water tank, facing the overlying water layer in the annular water tank, to acquire the velocity vector information of the overlying water layer flow field. A sensor connection device 7 is installed on the annular water tank. The sensor connection device 7 includes a base, a sealed connecting pipe, and a waterproof cable connector, on which a concentration sensor is installed and fixed. The sensor connection device 7 is connected to the computer 9 to achieve continuous real-time monitoring of the solute concentration in the overlying water in the annular water tank, with a sampling frequency of not less than 1 Hz. In this embodiment, the PIV particle image velocimeter 6 includes an emission sheet light source and a high-speed camera. The PIV particle image velocimeter 6 projects planar laser light into the annular water tank and continuously images the tracer particles, resolving the near-bottom velocity distribution and velocity profile to provide a basis for interfacial shear flow field analysis. The sensor connection device 7 is used to install and fix the concentration sensor, enabling continuous real-time monitoring of the solute concentration in the overlying water within the annular water tank, with a sampling frequency...

The plurality of shearing plates 3 are vertically placed into the annular water tank along the radial direction, and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular water tank. In this embodiment, there are 8 shearing plates 3, evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular water tank.
[0064] When the bottom surfaces of several shear plates 3 are below the liquid surface in the annular water tank, the rotary power control device 5 is activated. The device drives the shear plates 3 to rotate synchronously within the annular water tank, causing a stable flow of water along the circumference. This simulates the flow conditions of an infinitely long straight tank, establishing a stable velocity field without the need for backflow or energy dissipation. Precise control of the flow velocity within the annular water tank can be achieved by adjusting the lifting height and rotation speed of the rotary power control device 5. The rotary power control device 5 is driven by a variable frequency motor and regulated by a computer-controlled closed-loop speed regulation system to drive the shear plates 3 to rotate synchronously at a constant angular velocity, thereby creating a constant shear stress water flow environment within the annular water tank.
[0065] This invention overcomes the problems of cumbersome sampling processes, large measurement errors, and inability to achieve real-time continuous monitoring in existing technologies. This system can efficiently and accurately obtain the effective diffusion coefficient of the water-sediment interface under controllable hydrodynamic conditions, making it suitable for fields such as pollutant migration research and environmental risk assessment, and has broad application prospects.
