胶州湾微塑料迁移分布特性数值模拟研究

Numerical study on migration and distribution characteristics of microplastics in Jiaozhou bay

  • 摘要: 塑料污染是突出的海洋环境问题之一。目前,对海洋微塑料的研究主要以室内实验和现场实测为主,而对其迁移分布的数值模拟研究相对较少。本文以胶州湾为例,考虑风流共同作用对微塑料的影响,采用MIKE3三维水动力模块耦合ECO Lab模块和ABM模块,研究了胶州湾漂浮微塑料和悬浮微塑料的迁移分布特征,以及围填海导致的岸线演变对胶州湾微塑料迁移分布的影响。结果表明,漂浮微塑料在胶州湾东北部、前礁水道、黄岛前湾和海西湾大量聚集且不易随涨、落潮输运出湾外。黄岛前湾、海西湾和胶州湾湾口有多个悬浮微塑料高浓度聚集区。在近50年围填海导致的岸线演变影响下,胶州湾中部和湾口、前礁水道、黄岛前湾、海西湾以及大港附近的漂浮和悬浮微塑料浓度均不断上升。

     

    Abstract: Plastic pollution is one of the most prominent marine environmental problems. At present, the research on marine microplastics is mainly based on laboratory experiments and field measurements, while there is relatively little numerical simulation research on their migration distribution. This paper uses MIKE3 three-dimensional hydrodynamic module coupled with ECO Lab module and ABM module in order to simulate the migration and distribution characteristics of floating and suspended microplastics in Jiaozhou bay under both wind and current, then the impact of reclamation-induced coastline evolution on the distribution of microplastics is investigated. The results show that the floating microplastics accumulate in large quantities in the northeast of Jiaozhou bay, Qianjiao waterway, Huangdaoqian bay and Haixi bay, and are not easy to be transported out of the bay along with flood and ebb current. For suspended microplastics, there are multiple high-concentration areas in Huangdaoqian bay, Haixi bay and near the Jiaozhou bay mouth. Under the influence of reclamation in the past 50 years, the concentration of both floating and suspended microplastics in the central and near the mouth of Jiaozhou bay, Qianjiao waterway, Huangdaoqian bay, Haixi bay and Dagang has been continuously increasing.
