Set Up

At present, the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel is silted heavily, which brings negative influences on navigation. A two-dimensional numerical model is set up to simulate the hydrodynamics of the Changjiang River Estuary with Delft3D-FLOW in this paper. This model has been validated with the observed tidal level, flow velocity magnitude and direction, and the computed results agree well with the observed data, which also shows the model can well simulate the hydrodynamics of the Changjiang River Estuary caused by the Deepwater Navigation Channel Project. Based on the analysis of computed results, especially the velocity along the South Passage and North Passage, the flood and ebb flow in the Hengsha Passage, and the flow spilt ratio of South Passage and North Passage, it presents that one fundamental reason for the sediment deposition in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel is that the velocity along the North Passage is far less than that along South Passage, above all, the velocity in North Passage upstream of the Hengsha Passage is even smaller; another reason is that the flood and ebb flow of Hengsha Passage are large, which weakens the water exchange between the North Passage and South Channel.

In order to study the evolution and metallogenic regularity of MVT lead-zinc deposits in western portion of Hunan province (China), two sets of three-dimensional model are established by Minexplorer software: 3D model in typical deposit and 3Dmodel on regional scale. On the basis of synthetic analyses of two sets of models, the further prospecting should be focused on the north part of ore-bearing layer along the Huayuan-Zhangjiajie fault belt. It is effective to observe occurrence and distribution characteristics from the 3D geological model, and to provide the basis for further exploration prospecting of the concealed deposits.

Based on the data of water depth in the South Branch and the Hengsha Passage, and the flow spilt ratio of the North Passage and the South Passage, the reasons for the sediment deposition in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel in the Changjiang River Estuary are explored. The study shows the influence of the development of the Hengsha Passage is significant. The development of Hengsha Passage causes the increase of sediment and water exchange between the North Channel and the North Passage, which weakens the sediment and water exchange between the North Channel and the North Passage, and enhances the sediment silting in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel. The development of Hengsha Passage also causes the scour of the upper reach of the South Passage, which weakens the ebb tide entering into the North Passage and further strengthens the sediment deposition in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel. On the other hand, the Coriolis force and V-shaped diversion dike at the head of the Deepwater Navigation Channel also contribute the sediment deposition in the upper reach of the Deepwater Navigation Channel.
