Morphodynamic Resilience of the Tide‐Dominated Estuary With Interference From Tidal Flat Reclamations

“…Tidal constituents driving the sea boundary were generated by TPXO (TOPEX/POSEIDON global tidal model data set) with harmonic compositing of eight primaries, two long periods, and three nonlinear constituents (M. Zhang, Townend, et al., 2019). The absolute sea‐level rise reconstruction in the past 50 years and estimation over the next 100 years were generated based on previous literature (Church et al., 2004; M. Zhang, Townend, et al., 2019), which collectively suggested an approximately 1.9 times faster rate at the NB than the global mean value. Relative to the 1958 sea level, water depth increases of 0, 0.095, 0.124, 0.157, 0.19, 0.204, 0.233, 0.247, and 0.251 m were applied to the collected nine sets of historical bathymetries.…”

“…The energy flux (J/s) was obtained by integrating the energy head over the transverse section, and when integrated over a tidal cycle gives the cycle energy ( J ) passing through the section. The energy dissipation $${\increment}E$$ ( J ) is defined as the total energy flux (river and tide) entering and exiting the system (M. Zhang, Townend, et al., 2019), and when dividing by the total energy input leading to the energy dissipation ratio $$\gamma $$, that is, the energy contribution to the work done globally (M. Zhang et al., 2016). The adopted equations are defined as: $$$F=uBe,$$$ $$$E=\int Fdt,$$$ $$${\increment}E={E}_{\mathrm{e}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}}-{E}_{\mathrm{e}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{t}},$$$ $$$\gamma =\frac{{\increment}E}{{E}_{\mathrm{e}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}}},$$$ where u is the cross‐sectionally averaged flow velocity (m/s) with positive pointing to the upstream direction and negative pointing to the downstream direction, B is the channel width (m), e is the energy head per unit width (J/m 2 ), F is the instant energy flux (J/s), $$E$$, $${E}_{\mathrm{e}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}}$$, and $${E...$…”

“…Historical coastlines were interpreted from archived TM/ETM satellite images, available at the website http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov. The daily water and SD collected at the Datong station was provided by the Changjiang Water Resources Commission (X. Zhang, Townend, et al., 2019), available at the website http://www.cjh.com.cn/. Tidal constituents were generated by TPXO 7.2 (TOPEX/POSEIDON global tidal model data set) (Egbert & Erofeeva, 2002).…”

“…Recent studies of NB have explored the saline water intrusions (Kuang et al., 2021; E. Zhang, Townend, et al., 2019) and the sediment dynamics (Dai et al., 2016; Guo et al., 2022; Li et al., 2015) of the tide‐dominated system, and the influence of large‐scale engineering works implemented at upstream (Yu et al., 2014) and in the SB (Luan et al., 2016). However, little is known about the possible future evolution trend and equilibrium adjustment mechanism of the tide‐dominated system under intensive reclamations.…”

Structural, Dielectric and Ferroelectric Characterizations of Sol-gel Prepared Ba1-xSrxTiO3 Nanoceramics

“…These dopants cause structural distortions which strongly affect the Curie temperature (T c ) and phase transition of the resulting material [24][25][26][27]. Since radius of Sr +2 ions is smaller compared to that of the Ba +2 ions, Sr doping in BT affects the tolerance factor [28] and modifies the lattice parameters. With Sr doping in BT, the optical band gap reduces while the dielectric properties improve [9,29].…”
