According to the tunnel test, distance constants of big, medium,small cup anemometers produced and used in our country, they are determined to be:Lbig c.a.=8.4m Lmedium c.a.=5.8m Lsmall c.a.=4.0m.
The Huanghe River is the second largest river in our country. The average annual runoff at the estuary is 44.28 billion cubic meters, the average annual suspended load is 1.12 billion tons, of which 24% was deposited on the delta, 40% on the coast and the rest 36% is considered to be carried into the deep sea by various dynamic factors. We've measured the temperature, salinity, current and suspended load in the estuary from autumn of 1983 to summer of 1984 for building a harbour in future. According to our data and other historical data from some institutes, we've obtained following conclusions: 1) The distribution of temperature in winter is different with from that in summer: the contours of temperature in winter is parallel to coast line,and the contours of temperature in summer is coincident with latitudes. 2) The salinity in summer is lower than that in winter. There are three tongues of low values of salinity at the estuary in summer. They are pointed to North,North-east and South-east respectively. Only two tongues are appeared in winter-northward and south-eastward. 3) The distribution of suspended load is similar to the distribution of salinity,There are three tongues of high values of suspended load at the estuary in summer, they are pointed to North,North-east and Southeast respectively,the quantity of suspended load per litre in winter is much than in summer. 4) The influence of Huanghe River to North area of the estuary is less than to Laichou Bay. 5) The velocities of tide current at the estuary are very large.The maximum value is about 150era/see, and the directions of tide current are parallel to coastline.
The results of the suspended material measurement in the Huanghe River Estuary show that the silt movement in the estuary is different during summer and winter. The centric water-mass in Bohai Sea enters the Laizhou Bay, which makes the fresh water occupy the head of Laizhou Bay and prevents the silt from spveading to the sea.The disturbing of wind in winter makes the sediment resuspend which results in the high content of suspended materials in the water. The distribution of suspended materials and salinity in summer indicate that because of its own momentum, the silt from the Huanghe River will go ahead out of the river mouth and the effect of centric water-mass in the middle Bohai Sea is relatively small in summer. The distributions of suspended materials in the mid and bottom layer water during different seasons show that the primary direction of the siltl movement in the estuary is towards NE, whice coincides with the movement of residual current.Our paper also presents the size distribution of suspended materials.According to the data, we consider that the silt from Huanghe River moves mainly in the surface layer and the Huanghe River Estuary belongs to weak mixing estuary.
Heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni) in the sediment from Huanghe River Estuary and the adjacent areas were analyzed using Model WFX-IA AAS. The eoneentrationsof these elements are: Cu 9-32ppm,Pb 24-44ppm,Zn 41-105ppm, Mn 500-700ppm, Fe 2.1-3.0%, Cr 50-71ppm, Ni 24-72ppm. There are relatively close correlations among the distribution of the heavy metals, suspended materials and salinity. The distribution of heavy metals in summer are similar to that in winter, except Pb. It is believed that the higher concentration results from the increasing of water discharge,silt content and the decreasing of particle size in the summer. Pb is easily absorbed and carried in the suspended materials,which, perhaps, is another reason that the concentration of Pb is higher in summer.
This paper is concerned with the distibuticn of seme geochemical factors in sediments from Huanghe River Estuary,such as Eh,pH,Fe/Fe and the ratio of elementsp which show the characteristics of sedimentation in the estuary.According to the physical-chemistry principle the diagram of FeS2-Fe3O4-Fe2O3 system is made to indicate the coexistence and the tranform among minerals.
Characteristics of fine-grained sediment from the shelf area adjacent to the Huanghe River Estuary were studied and related to the environmental features of their soure region.Thus, these characteristics can be used as trace indicators to follow the movement of the sediment in the sea. The results from this study show that the sediment from the mouth of the Huanghe River moves mainly to the east and then to north-east because of the density current and relict current.The grain size is coarser in the middle along this direction than that in the two sides.There is a region with abnormal values near 119°12′E and 38°03′N indicating stronger current over there than that in the surounded area.The strong density current from the River Mouth is caused by the high concentration of suspended sediment discharged from the River Mouth point source with a charactor of “flood event”.
To select from among forecasting approaches to shallow water wave five that are more important and currently employed are used to hindcast a wind-wave in the western Laizhou Bay in this paper. The prediction values obtained are compared with wave data in the vicinity of the investigated water area, from which more reasionable values selected are treated as significant wave height (H1/3) and average wave period(-↑T) of a 50-year return period at a depth of 20m below the mean low water, both values being 5.50 metres and 9.50 seconds respectively.
