In the present paper, an optimization model of the ecological water replenishment quantity of Boluo Lake wetland was constructed for ecological water replenishment in the Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve based on the interval two-stage stochastic programming (ITSP) method, which scientifically allocates the ecological water resources and enhances the utilization of flood resources in order to meet the minimum ecological water replenishment quantity requirement to meet the local economic and social water demand, to restore the wetland function of the reserve, and to improve the ecological environment. In addition, it considers the ecological service value of the reserve in order to achieve a shared increase in the ecological and economic benefits. The optimization model of the ecological water replenishment of Boluo Lake wetland considered the minimum ecological water replenishment as the objective function, while the water diversion capacity, water supply capacity, water diversion sequence, functional area, and ecological service value of the Lake bubble were utilized as constraints in order to restore the ecosystem function of the Boluo Lake National Nature Reserve. The results from the model revealed that the amount of ecological water replenishment was significantly reduced after optimization simulation, with the maximum reduction range in the ecological water replenishment being −100.00% and −74.58%. In addition, the total amount of flood diversion was significantly increased, and the flood resources could be fully utilized. Moreover, the recovery effect on the lake and pond functional areas was significant and compared much better to that prior to the ecological water replenishment, which was up to 2300.00% and 1987.59%. The ecological service value also increased significantly, and the rate of this increase was as high as 23.90% and 21.58%. In the present study, an optimization model was constructed for the ecological water replenishment of the Boluo Lake wetland supplement project based on the interval two-stage stochastic programming method, which would achieve the entire scope of ecological and economic benefits of the ecological water replenishment project by realizing the ecological system reconstruction and providing a feasible and reliable plan to the decision-makers.
The hydrodynamic interaction induced by the complex flow around a ship maneuvering in restricted waters has a significant influence on navigation safety. In particular, when a ship moves in the vicinity of a bank, the hydrodynamic interaction forces caused by the bank effect can significantly affect the ship’s maneuverability. An efficient algorithm integrated in onboard systems or simulators for capturing the bank effect with fair accuracy would benefit navigation safety. In this study, an algorithm based on the potential-flow theory is presented for efficient calculation of ship-bank hydrodynamic interaction forces. Under the low Froude number assumption, the free surface boundary condition is approximated using the double-body model. A layer of sources is dynamically distributed on part of the seabed and bank in the vicinity of the ship to model the boundary conditions. The sinkage and trim are iteratively solved via hydrostatic balance, and the importance of including sinkage and trim is investigated. To validate the numerical method, a series of simulations with various configurations are carried out, and the results are compared with experiment and numerical results obtained with RANSE-based and Rankine source methods. The comparison and analysis show the accuracy of the method proposed in this paper satisfactory except for extreme shallow water cases.
Wetlands as an important ecosystem type have been damaged in recent years and restoration of wetland ecosystem functions through ecological water replenishment is one of the important ways. The present study involved the construction of a novel ecological water replenishment model for Jilin Momoge National Nature Reserve (JMNNR) using the interval two-stage stochastic programming (ITSP) method. Breaking down traditional economic models that often sacrifice environmental benefits, the model aims to replenish the ecological water in JMNNR, allocate the ecological water resources scientifically, restore the wetland function of the reserve, improve the functional area of the reserve, enhance the net carbon sequestration capacity of the reserve, and complete the reconstruction of the ecosystem, while considering the ecological service value (ESV) of the reserve to achieve a joint increase in the ecological and economic benefits. The ITSP model constructed in the present study overcame the limitation that the original project recommendation was a single recommended value, and the results are presented in the form of intervals to improve flexibility in decision making to allow the individuals responsible for under-taking decisions to bring focused adjustments according to the actual decision-making conditions and increase the selectivity of the decision-making scheme. The present report discusses the construction of an ITSP model for the ecological water replenishment of JMNNR in an attempt to effectively improve both economic benefits and ecosystem restoration of the reserve, achieve the reconstruction of the JMNNR ecosystem, and provide a selective decision space for the key decision-makers to formulate and optimize the project operation and the management plan. The use of the ITSP model as a pre-procedural basis for the implementation of the project and the simulation of the effects of the implementation of the project can effectively avoid the decision limitations that exist when carrying out the project directly. The ITSP model constructed in this paper can also be used as a theoretical guide for water replenishment projects in different areas of the world, and the model parameters can be reasonably adjusted to achieve better results when used according to the actual local conditions.
