Environmental factors of projects in the sea area, such as tidal current characteristics and sediment transport patterns, play a decisive role in the safe operation of the harbor. Based on the observation data of tide level, tidal current, suspended sediment, and surface sediment in the Port of Shenquan, this paper focuses on the study of the characteristics of tidal current and sediment of projects in the sea area. According to the measured tide hydrograph, it can be concluded that the tide in the Port of Shenquan is irregular diurnal, and the flow of rising and falling tides is basically rectilinear. The velocity of the neap tide is higher than that of spring tide, which is mainly related to the strong winds and waves. The sand source is limited, and the sediment concentration in the water is very low. The hourly sediment concentration in each station fluctuates within a narrow range, independent of hourly velocity change. The sediment is coarse and fine, with a distribution pattern of coarse near shore, fine in deep water, coarse in East and West, and fine in the middle, and the sorting coefficient of sediment is medium to well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
