Marine environment numerical simulation of morphological planning of land reclamation

Abstract

Based on the evaluation criteria of the impact of different types of reclamation design on the natural environment of coastal waters, the environmental fluid dynamics model was used to simulate the seawater environment in 13 scenarios from three aspects: the shape of the artificial island, the size of inner lake outlet and the layout of the artificial island. The hydrodynamic force and water exchange capacity of these islands were quantitatively compared, and the effects of different artificial islands on the Marine environment were summarized. The planning morphology design guidelines are summarized in four aspects: (1) reduce the serrated steep slope shoreline, avoid forming semi-closed water, and increase the simple and smooth shoreline; (2) reduce the width of the lake mouth to increase the length of the lake; (3) choose a simple alignment parallel to the shore; (4) the design mainly focuses on the morphology of shoreline, followed by consideration of the lake mouth and artificial island arrangement.
