Abstract:
One of the definitions of Navigation that gets little attention in this Institute is ‘communication by canals and rivers’ (Oxford English Dictionary), and which our French friends call La Navigation. I have always found this subject fascinating, and have previously navigated the Rivers Mekong, Irrawaddy, Hooghly, Indus, Shatt-al-Arab, Savannah and Rhône. During the middle of 1995 I travelled by barge from the North Sea to the Black Sea via the River Rhine, the Rhein—Main—Donau—Kanal (RMDK) and the River Danube, a distance of approximately 4000 km. This voyage has only recently become possible with the opening of the connecting RMDK at the end of 1992, but has been made little use of because of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia.

Abstract:
Abstract In July 2016 in the Three-city agglomeration a rainfall episode of over a day duration and 150 mm summary rainfall height, occurred. This situation, extreme as for Polish conditions, caused significant freshets in rivers and streams running into Gdansk Bay, the Baltic Sea, and serving as collectors of rainfall waters for the sea-coast towns. In many areas of the Three-city flood phenomena and overflows took place. The flood also occurred in the catchment area of the Kacza river in Gdynia. The passing of flood water rise caused damage of many infrastructure objects located along the river valley. The estuary section of the river suffered most, especially sea-shore belt together with beach around the estuary which were significantly washed out. In this paper an approach was made to answer to the question on direct causes of the situation which occurred at the estuary of the Kacza river. To this end, there was worked out a hydrodynamic model of the considered section of the river, based on the solving of two-dimensional differential motion equations of free-surface liquid, and simulations of water flow propagation along the river’s valley were performed for a few variants of hydraulic engineering infrastructure of river bed. Numerical hydraulic analysis made it possible to determine a role of the hydraulic engineering objects in forming the flood water rise as well as their impact on location and range of washout zones of sea-shore belt.

Abstract:
A ship's grounding appears to be a significant threat to the safety of its crew, marine environment and the local ports economy. The risk of such incidents is higher in rivers since weather conditions can significantly alter the depths of channels from those shown on navigation charts. By means of a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, a new methodology is proposed, capable of evaluating the hazards of a ship's grounding in a river. The proposed method contributes to safe navigation in rivers. Navigators are able to assess grounding risk in a river passage based on local information of past incidents. The proposed methodology is used to evaluate commercial risks from groundings in the Parana River. A case study was carried out using data from 118 cases, as provided by local agencies for the period 2008–2017.

Abstract:
Abstract Geotextile materials are often used in river regulation projects to cut down sand loss caused by water erosion, to thus ensure a stable and safe river bed. In order to measure the overlap width in the geotextile-laying procedure, we proposed a point processing method for cloud data, which engages point cloud data obtained by 3-D imaging sonar to do automatic measurements. Firstly, random sampling and consensus point cloud segmentation and outer point filtering based on statistical analysis on density were used to extract the upper and lower plane data of the geotextile. Secondly, cluster classification was used to obtain the edge point cloud. Lastly, edge characteristic parameters were extracted by linear fitting, and the overlap width in geotextile laying was calculated. Results show that this measurement scheme is feasible, robust, and accurate enough to meet the requirements in real-life engineering.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper presents an innovative steering system for a river push barge dedicated for operation in environmentally sensitive inland waterways. Development of the inland waterborne transport in Poland is dependent on the exploitation of rivers which can be adapted to navigation in the limited range because a high percent of their length is classified within special environment protection areas of Natura 2000 network. This is now the main reason that their better exploitation cannot be obtained without an introduction of a new generation of waterborne environment friendly inland units. In naturally winding rivers with differing and rapidly changing depths and widths it is important to equip a push barge with an efficient steering system that has a low environmental impact. The innovative steering system proposed in the paper is composed of main steering devices located at the pusher stern, auxiliary steering devices installed on the barge bow and a mechanical coupling system.

Swindale, Neil. "Numerical modelling of river rehabilitation schemes." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 1999. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/29108/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is based on the application of hydraulic modelling techniques to the study of river rehabilitation schemes. River channelization and rehabilitation techniques are reviewed and the restoration of the River Idle is detailed. The rehabilitation of the Idle, consisting principally of the installation of a number of flow deflectors, forms the basis of the modelling work carried out. Open channel modelling techniques are reviewed and the packages ISIS, HEC-RAS, SSIIM and CFX are applied to the River Idle. Results from SSIIM (two dimensional) and CFX (three dimensional) are validated against site measured velocities. SSIIM predicted velocities calibrate poorly against site data whilst CFX results are considerably more encouraging. Reasons for the increased accuracy of the three dimensional results are discussed. The effect of the installation of the flow deflectors on aquatic habitat is simulated using the techniques underlying the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM). The results from the one dimensional model ISIS and the three dimensional package CFX are used to make available habitat predictions. Results indicate an improvement in habitat for adult and spawning chub but a worsening of habitat for roach fry. However, habitat for roach fry can be expected to improve with time as the geomorphology of the river responds to the installation of the deflectors. The results from the habitat modelling exercise also indicate significant discrepancies between the results obtained by applying the one and three dimensional models. Greater improvements in habitat are indicated in the results from the three dimensional modelling approach. This can be attributed to a number of factors but most significantly the fact that the three dimensional model, in solving two further momentum balance equations, accurately simulates a plume of higher velocity which is produced by the narrowing of the channel width at the deflector. This plume of higher velocity is propagated downstream for some distance beyond the deflector and is associated with improved habitat suitability in the case of adult and spawning chub. The effect of the deflectors on the movement of sediments in the Idle is simulated using ISIS Sediment, a module of the ISIS package, and SHEAR. SHEAR is a FORTRAN program, written for this thesis, which calculates bed shear stresses from the vertical velocity distribution predicted by CFX. The predicted bed shear stresses are compared with a critical shear stress for erosion which is calculated from the Shields criteria. Deposition areas can be implied from zones of reduced bed shear stress. Thus, SHEAR is able to describe the spatial detail of erosion and deposition, for any given sediment particle size, at a specific discharge. Results from ISIS Sediment and SHEAR are compared qualitatively with site measurements of bed erosion that has taken place at a single deflector site. Results indicate that the programs have successfully reproduced the major features of the movement of sediments observed on site. These consist of the erosion of a scour pool adjacent to the deflector tip and deposition in the lee of the deflector leading to the development of a bank of sediment. Overall, significant benefits are indicated in a three dimensional approach over the more traditional one dimensional models. These are evident in both improved calibration with site measured velocities, better available habitat prediction and the ability to describe the spatial detail of erosion and deposition.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the implementation of general Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques to laboratory and natural channels under flood flow conditions. Two commercially available codes, TELEMAC and CFX4, have been used in this work. The assessment of CFD for the calculation of flooded channel flow dynamics is carried out by simulating one laboratory test case from the Flood Channel Facility (FCF) Series B. This test case is that of a meandering two-stage channel with a depth ratio of 25% on the flood plain. Results from a computer simulation of experiment B23 are presented with a detailed quantitative comparison of the measured velocity, turbulence and bed shear stress. It supports the conclusion that CFD is able to account for the different flow mechanisms arising from the interaction between inbank and overbank flows in meandering channels. The maximum error in the prediction of the velocity is 10% and the comparisons show the calculations of bed shear stress to be reasonably accurate as well. Numerical tests indicate that the numerical solution is relatively independent of the boundary conditions, and confirm that turbulence transport is of minor importance in the experiment simulated. Numerical results from the simulation of flood flow mechanisms in natural rivers are also presented. It is hoped that these are of value to practitioners. Two 1-km reaches on the River Severn and River Ribble are modelled. They permit the investigation of two-stage channel flow dynamics at a larger scale. The numerical verification process establishes that the scale and the complex nature of the geometry are limiting factors, particularly for the numerical discretization of the domain and the calculation of the variables at the walls. It is however possible to estimate a priori part of the error such constraints generate. Away from the walls, the flow main features seem well predicted. The parallel between the velocity fields observed in river flood flows and those observed in the FCF is evident. Validation against field data suggests that the models are able to reproduce the flow mechanisms and account for bed shear stress variations correctly. Yet a significant level of uncertainty remains when the model predictions are compared against measured point data; more validation work is therefore required.

Abstract:
A new approach to solve shallow water flow problems over highly irregular geometry both correctly' and efficiently is presented in this thesis. Godunov-type schemes which are widely used with the finite volume technique cannot solve the shallow water equations correctly unless the source terms related to the bed slope and channel width variation are discretized properly, because Godunov-type schemes were developed on the basis of homogeneous governing equations which is not compatible with an inhomogeneous system. The main concept of the new approach is to avoid a fractional step method and transform the shallow water equations into homogeneous form equations. New definitions for the source terms which can be incorporated into the homogeneous form equations are also proposed in this thesis. The modification to the homogeneous form equations combines the source terms with the flux term and solves them by the same solution structure of the numerical scheme. As a result the source terms are automatically discretized to achieve perfect balance with the flux terms without any special treatment and the method does not introduce numerical errors. Another point considered to achieve well-balanced numerical schemes is that the channel geometry should be reconstructed in order to be compatible with the numerical flux term which is computed with piecewise constant initial data. In this thesis, the channel geometry has been changed to have constant state inside each cell and, consequently, each cell interface is considered as a discontinuity. The definition of the new flux related to the source terms has been obtained on the basis of the modified channel geometry. A simple and accurate algorithm to solve the moving boundary problem in two-dimensional modelling case has also been presented in this thesis. To solve the moving boundary condition, the locations of all the cell interfaces between the wet and dry cells have been detected first and the integrated numerical fluxes through the interfaces have been controlled according to the water surface level of the wet cells. The proposed techniques were applied to several well-known conservative schemes including Riemann solver based and verified against benchmark tests and natural river flow problems in the one and two dimensions. The numerical results shows good agreement with the analytical solutions, if available, and recorded data from other literature. The proposed approach features several advantages: 1) it can solve steady problems as well as highly unsteady ones over irregular channel geometry, 2) the numerical discretization of the source terms is always performed as the same way that the flux term is treated, 3) as a result, it shows strong applicability to various conservative numerical schemes, 4) it can solve the moving (wetting/drying) boundary problem correctly. The author believes that this new method can be a good option to simulate natural river flows over highly irregular geometries.

Reungoat, Anne Françoise Jeanne. "Classification of river networks for prediction in ungauged basins." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2004. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6331/.

Full text
Abstract:
The majority of the world's river basins remain ungauged and, therefore, the triedand- tested empirical techniques for predicting floods and droughts cannot be applied. An alternative approach, which is currently receiving a great deal of attention from research hydrologists, is to develop continuous simulation models whose parameters pertain to physical or hydrological properties of the river basins. However, difficulties related to scale, heterogeneity and complexity of real river basins have made a priori estimation of such parameters impossible: their estimation has always required calibration using river flow data. Therefore, estimating hydrological model parameters in ungauged river basins is one of the greatest challenges currently facing research hydrologists. In this thesis research advances towards this goal have been made at three different levels. First, at a conceptual level, a novel method for classifying river basins according to their physical properties is proposed. It is specifically designed for transferring hydrological model parameters from gauged river basins, where calibration is possible, to ungauged river basins. This approach relies on recognising that river basins can be similar in parts of their hydrological cycle but not in others. Thus, basins go through three independent classifications, one relative to each of the major components of the land phase hydrological cycle: interaction of soil water/vegetation and atmosphere; surface flow; and groundwater flow. This requires the ability to characterise the response of the components of the hydrological cycle independently, which leads to a second conceptual advance; rather than relying entirely on measured river flow data, from which it is difficult to separate out the effects of the three components, classification rules are devised on the basis of synthetic data produced by comprehensive, distributed, physically-based models. This thesis focuses on the surface flow component, applying the methodology to the identification of the best classifiers for surface flow through river networks. This required simulating river flow through a large number of Scottish river basins, which led to more practical research advances; all available commercial flow routing models were too cumbersome and required an impractical level of detail to be applied in such a large study. Therefore, a new flow routing modelling system was developed that extracts river network detail from digital databases and numerically solves a distributed flow routing model. Finally, on a detailed scientific level, significant insights have been made into the relationship between river network geomorphologic structure and stream flow response. In particular, it is shown that: a downstream hydraulic geometry relationship exists for Scottish rivers; although channel conveyance is a key factor in dictating network response, the features of the response hydro graph - namely the percentage attenuation of the flood peak and the lag in time to peak - scale linearly with both roughness and hydraulic geometry coefficients; much publicised invariant power law scaling rules for flood peaks in fact vary as a function of storm duration; statistical multivariate analysis of the simulated network flow responses demonstrated the low capacity of the network descriptors commonly used in regionalisation studies for characterising flow response. Four variables are shown to have significantly higher classifying power than the majority of the commonly used classifiers. Of these, two are entirely new to this thesis.

The amount of cargo that enters the US border is at an all time high. Cargo containers and vessel shipments enter the US from all over the world. Tracking these shipments from their origin to destination requires professional expertise. Security organizations, such as the Regional Maritime Security Coalition of the Columbia River, realize the potential of these professionals, who track and coordinate cargo containers as they move through a supply chain, to enhance security of maritime cargo. In order to utilize these supply chain logistic professionals in a security coalition, proper training and certification would be required to comply with the US Federal Code on Liability Protection. This study examines the requirements that are necessary to certify supply chain logistic professionals as certified volunteers in an information sharing, security communication network to prevent terrorist activity, smuggling, theft, and to assist in general crisis mitigation. The thesis studies how the RMSC is currently developing its security communication system around supply chain logistic professionals, and the requirements and training that would be necessary to certify them under the US Federal Code.

Abstract:
Diffuse sources of sediment may have important implications for flood risk management (FRM), especially as catchment sediment yields are predicted to increase in future. UK legislation requires FRM to work with natural processes wherever possible, including accounting for sediments. However, the importance of wash-material load to FRM has been under researched and both a robust evidence-base and practical sediment models are needed to identify, prioritise and justify sediment-related catchment management. Research addressing these issues was centred on the River Tone, a sub-catchment of the Parrett, in which features excessive inputs of sediment in its upper catchment combined with high potential for deposition in its lower reaches. Links between sediment sources, water and sediment runoff, and downstream sediment sinks were established and the research examined the role played by sediment, especially wash-material load, within the fluvial system. The greatest sediment-related threats to the functioning of this lowland river stem from either: a protracted, major reduction in wash-material load; or a significant increase in bed-material load. Imbalance in the Tone fluvial-sediment system may not significantly affect flood risk directly, but has implications for FRM operations, maintenance and monitoring. Impacts on land quality result from soil loss. For example, ~2.5 million tonnes of soil has been eroded from the Parrett catchment since WWII. Water quality issues include delivery of phosphate and other pollutants into the river, and potentially more frequent dredging that remobilises contaminants. The thesis defines the key sediment-related components of sustainable, integrated catchment management and provides an improved evidence-base upon which to engage stakeholders. It tests and benchmarks sediment assessment tools including the Sediment Impact Assessment Model (SIAM). An approach to catchment-scale sediment assessment for lowland rivers is recommended, which involves a nested-approach using routinely collected and project-specific field data, stream power screening and SIAM.

Abstract:
Flödesdimensionering är något som används världen över när det kommer till konstruktionen och hanteringen av byggnader i vattendrag. I Sverige har flödeskommitén, bestående av SMHI och intressenter från vattenkraftsindustrin, tagit fram flödesdimensioneringsriktlinjerna som blivit praxis för svenska dammägare. Utifrån dessa riktlinjer får dammar olika flödesdimensioneringsklassningar beroende på vad konsekvenserna blir av olika högflöden. Detta arbete bygger på en nyligt genomförd konsekvensutredning på en av Jämtkrafts dammar i mellersta Norrland. Dammen, som går under namnet Damm B i denna rapport, har tidigare haft flödesdimensioneringsklass II men bedöms nu tillhöra flödesdimensionerings klass I. Dammen ska utifrån detta kunna avbörda ett klass I-flöde på 1690 m3/s till skillnad från det tidigare kravet på 1035 m3/s (klass II-flöde). Syftet med denna rapport äratt undersöka vilka effekter den naturliga tillrinningen av dessa och mellanliggande flöden har på olika objekt och områden nedströms Damm B. Med modelleringsverktyget MIKE 11 konstrueras en en-dimensionell flödesmodell för flödessimuleringar och avläsning av vattennivåer. Simuleringarna visar att den största delen av nedströms undersökta objekt påverkas mellan flödena 1100 m3/s och det så kallade 1000-års flödet på 1376 m3/s där risken för människoliv börjar vid det senare. Redan under klass II-flödet sker viss översvämning på de strandnära vägarna i området. Mellan 1100 m3/s samt 1200 m3/s börjar den mindre dammen nedströms (Damm C) riskera att gå till brott för att sedan överströmmas vid 1400 m3/s. Uträkning av skjuvspänningen berättar att det finns erosionsrisker för korndiametrar på upp till ca 2 cm i vissa erosionsbenägna områden. Denna erosionsbenägenhet inträffar för flöden under 1300 m3/s innan dammbrott har skett i Damm C. Vattenytans lutning minskartill följd av en större motdämning vilket därefter orsakar att minskningen av skärspänningen sker snabbare än den ökning som uppkommer till följd av ett stigande vattendjup. Vattenytan stiger dock och berör områden som inte brukar ligga under vatten. Detta kan leda till kornfraktioner som inte har transporteras bort vid tidigare flöden nu riskerar göra detta vilket bland annat kan bilda drivgods. Flödesdimensioneringsriktlinjerna som har tagits fram i Sverige bygger på miljöbalkens allmänna hänsynsregler vilket gör dem till en bra mall för dammägare att följa. När funderingar dock finns att inte bygga ut avbördningskapaciteten helt behöver det funderas på hur mycket ett eventuellt dammbrott skulle påverka den egna anläggningen och förtroendet från myndigheter samt allmänheten. I fallet med Damm B kommer de flesta objekten som undersöks att beröras vid en naturlig tillrinning på 1400 m3/s. Det är därför av intresse att genomföra noggrannare dammbrotts simuleringar för att hitta ett flöde mellan 1400 m3/soch 1690 m3/s där inga större ytterligare konsekvenser från ett dammbrott uppstår. Till följd av de svårheter och osäkerheter som valetav en lägrea vbördningskapacitet medför motiverar denna rapport dock till en utökad kapacitet för ett klass I-flöde i Damm B och undersöka möjligheterna för ökad avbördning vid Damm C. Detta kan även kompletteras med en omfattande samordnad beredskapsplan längs med älven och ett utökat översvämnings-/erosionsskydd på utsatta områden.

Abstract:
Juba River runs from its headwaters in Ethiopia through Somalia and discharges into the Indian Ocean near Kismayo. Severe droughts recur in Juba River Catchment. This chapter examines the time series of hydrologic droughts and the factors influencing their occurrence in the catchment. The author further demonstrates the application of probability distributions to compute the exceedance probabilities of the hydrologic drought experienced in the catchment in the past, from 2001 to 2014. The fits of the probability distributions are compared to show the best fitting of all distributions. The probability distribution that will reasonably fit well to the data set is adapted to generate graphical plots for forecasting the return periods of drought events in the catchment. Reconstructing past drought episodes and future drought predictions is useful in drought risk management in Baardheere region of Somalia.

Abstract:
River basins and river characteristics are controlled in part by their tectonic setting, in part by climate, and increasingly by human activity. River basins are defined by the tectonic and topographic features of a continent, which determine the general pattern of water drainage. If a major river drains to the ocean, its mouth is usually fixed by some enduring geologic structure, such as a graben, a downwarp, or a suture between two crustal blocks. The largest river basins constitute drainage areas of extensive low-lying portions of Earth’s crust, often involving tectonic downwarps. The magnitude of river flow is determined by the balance between precipitation and evaporation, summed over the drainage area. Seasonality of flow and water storage within any basin are determined by the seasonality of precipitation in excess of evaporation, modified in some regions by water stored in snow packs and released by melting, and by water stored in wetlands, lakes, and reservoirs. Increasingly the flows of rivers are influenced by human land use and engineering works, including dams, but in South America these anthropogenic influences are generally less intense and widespread than in North America, Europe, and much of Asia. Thus the major rivers of South America can be viewed in the context of global and regional tectonics and climatology. For reference, figure 5.1 outlines South America’s three largest river basins—the Orinoco, Amazon, and Paraguay-Paraná systems—while figure 5.2 shows the locations of rivers referred to in the text against a background of the continent’s density of population per square kilometer. The geologic history of South America has bequeathed to the continent a number of structural elements that are relevant to the form and behavior of its three major river systems. These structural elements are (1) the Andes; (2) a series of foreland basins, approximately 500 km wide immediately east of the Andes and extending southward from the mouth of the Orinoco to the Chaco-Paraná basin, where the crust is depressed by the weight of the Andes and the sediment derived from the mountains; (3) the Guiana and Brazilian shields reflecting Precambrian cratons and orogenic belts of mostly crystalline metamorphic rocks, partly covered with flat-lying sedimentary rocks and deeply weathered regolith; and (4) the Central Amazon Basin, a large cratonic downwarp with some graben structures dating back to early Paleozoic time, which runs generally east-west between the two shields, connecting the foreland basins to the west with a graben that localizes the Amazon estuary at the Atlantic coast.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at Scriptures, whose ambiguity is seen both as a difficulty to shake people out of exegetical complacency and as an inspired involution of multiple meanings on the page. These meanings are not only allegorical, mystical, or typological, but also literal, according to a widespread Catholic idea neglected by previous historians of biblical scholarship. The doctrine of multiple literal senses marked yet another battleground between the company of two armies, Protestant and Catholic—barring two or three defections—in the early seventeenth century. It encapsulated a profound distinction between two views of Scripture: the one a river to be cleansed and traced to the source, the other an ocean in which to swim, even to abandon oneself. Why, then, has this controversy been entirely ignored by scholarship? As modernity encroached, the doctrine became an embarrassment to Catholics, and in 1845 a professor of theology at Louvain, Jan-Theodor Beelen, wrote a treatise against it. But there are deeper reasons for the neglect. The history of biblical hermeneutics as written to date is more than usually Whiggish, seeking the precursors to Schleiermacher and Gadamer; the German and Lutheran backstory has therefore seemed inevitable, and from this perspective Catholic hermeneutics since Luther and Erasmus has been an irrelevance. Subsequently, the occlusion of the Catholic voice was attended by a narrowing of the possibilities of what biblical interpretation could be.

Abstract:
The Central Disaster Management Council of the Japanese Cabinet Office estimates that a class-M7 earthquake will occur in Metropolitan Tokyo or the Tokai area within the next 30 years. In 1995, Japan suffered devastating damage from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and has since been devoted to disaster management. Since there has been no report anywhere in the world on a sea-based relief system, our research will lead to a review of ocean spaces in terms of their value in waterfront metropolitan cities. In this research, we have explored the feasibility of a relief system utilizing Entertainment and Party Boat (EPB) which can cover areas from the sea to rivers, and we investigated navigable routes of rivers to suggest effective utilization of ocean spaces and river areas in the event of disaster. As a result, we determined the rescue potential drawing upon EPB. A river survey was also conducted to classify navigable routes by boat size.

Abstract:
Each pipeline river crossing is a unique project and depends on the local environmental conditions. Sediment movement or erosion of the river bed can, for example, originate free spans superior to those for which the pipeline was designed to resist. A thorough understanding of the sediment dynamics is necessary in order to guarantee the integrity of the pipeline from damages caused by variation of the river bed. PETROBRAS designed and installed two gas pipelines in Negro River, state of Amazonia, Brazil. The new pipelines will have a total length of 383 km through the rain forest, 10 km of which was laid along the river bed and a second branch crossing the river over 5 km. In order to guarantee the structural safety of the pipeline, characterization of river hydraulics and bed dynamics was carried out with acquisition of environmental data, numerical modeling and surveying. Current and flow measurements with ADCPs, hydrodynamic and morphological modeling were carried out. Multibeam, side scan sonar and SBP surveys at different times were compared in order to assess large scale changes in the river bed and presence of bed forms. Hydraulic characterization of the Negro River indicated relatively low bed mobility in comparison to the Amazon River, for example. Finally, parametric calculations for onset of scour, length and depth of scour holes and related time scale, as well as bottom velocities over the hydrological cycle were used to obtain parameters for engineering design (route stability, free span analysis, etc.), protection requirements and survey periodicity for monitoring of free span development along the pipeline.

Abstract:
The increase of saltwater intrusion in recent years in the Pearl River Delta, has threatened the freshwater supply in the surrounding regions, especially the cities of Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Guangzhou in Guangdong Province and Macau. A numerical modeling system using nested grids was developed to simulate the salinity distribution in the Pearl River delta, and then to investigate the salt transport process and calculate the salt flux for each outlet in the Pearl River estuary. The model forcing functions consist of tidal elevations along the open boundaries and freshwater inflows from the major tributaries in the Pearl River system. The model simulation results are in qualitative agreement with the available field data. The salt flux of the Pearl River delta during the spring tide in dry season is up to 19.5×106ton/ tidal period, while the salt flux during neap tide is only 5.1×106ton/ tidal period, 26.18% of that during the spring tide. The salt flux in Dahu and Guanchong stations are the highest among the stations of the eight outlets, indicating that Humen and Yamen are the most important entries for saltwater intrusion in the Pearl River delta. The most important reason is that the ratio of stream flow to tide flow is different for each outlet. The ratios at Humen and Yamen are the smallest among the eight outlets (<1 for each month), while the ratio at Modaomen is the biggest (>1 for each month), which leads to the lowest salt flux at Modaomen. Salinity distribution in different time periods shows that saltwater intrusion during the spring tide is much more serious than neap tide, and water in many cities during this time period will be unavailable for drinking, irrigation or for ecological purpose.

Abstract:
The hydrology of the Pearl River Estuary is controlled both by river discharge and tide, where water and sediment move through eight outlets (mouths) into the sea. Using numerical modeling, this paper examines the characteristics of tidal movement in Pearl River Estuary. Results showed an amphidromic point near Modaomen mouth, and river runoff flows down. From marine dynamics point of view, Modaomen mouth is the main channel for water and sediment transportation of Pearl River. Using the tidal energy, we discuss the change of the sediment near the several entrances during the flood and dry seasons.

Abstract:
Formal safety assessment (FSA), as a structured and systematic risk evaluation methodology, has been gradually and broadly used in the shipping industry nowadays around the world. Concerns have been raised to navigational safety of Yangtze River, known as China’s largest and the world busiest inland waterway. With the national development of the Middle and Western parts of China, the throughput and the passing ships in Yangtze River have been rapidly increasing during the past few decades. Meanwhile, accidents such as collisions, groundings, overturns, oil-spills and fires occur repeatedly, causing serious consequences. In view of this, attempts made in this paper are to evaluate the navigational risk of Yangtze River using the FSA concept and a Bayesian Network (BN) technique, so as to enhance the navigational safety in Yangtze River.
