摘要

Modelling the transport of fine sediments in the marine environment is a highly complex task with a broad field of application. Various processes take place and interact with one another to determine the movement of fine sedimentary particles in the aquatic domain. Amongst these processes stratification significantly affects the vertical propagation of a sedimentary plume, especially in areas of freshwater influence, with the possibility of matter entrapment and accumulation along the interface; this possibility is higher the finer the sedimentary matter is. The proposed modelling approach describes the physical processes that take place in the water column (advection, dispersion, coagulation, settling, effects of stratification), at the boundary of the seabed (benthic shear) and the mass-exchanges between the two (deposition, consolidation, resuspension, erosion). The Fine Sediment Transport Model was applied in the gulf of Thermaikos (NW Aegean Sea), an area of significant freshwater and riverine sediment inflow, considering the major rivers of the domain as sources of particulate matter. The results were, generally, in agreement with available in-situ measurements of suspended particulate matter. In cases of significant deviations between simulation and measurement, the source of the error did not lie within the modelling approach, but was due to the considered input parameters. The investigation revealed the existence of transport and sedimentation patterns related to the riverine source of the material and the individual parts of the gulf. The sedimentation rates were estimated at 18, 7 and 3. mm/yr locally at the outflows of Aliakmon, Axios and Pinios, respectively, while the areas of high sediment accumulation coincided with locations where the benthic material ranges from very fine to fine silt.
