A process-based 3D numerical model for surfzone hydrodynamics and beach evolution was established. Comparisons between the experimental data and model results proved that the model could effectively describe the hydrodynamics, sediment transport feature and sandbar migration process in the surfzone with satisfactory precision. A series of numerical simulations on the wave breaking and shoaling up to a barred beach were carried out based on the model system. Analyzed from the model results, the wave-induced current system in the surfzone consists of two major processes, which are the phase-averaged undertow caused by wave breaking and the net drift caused by both of the nonlinear wave motion and surface roller effect. When storm waves come to the barred beach, the strong offshore undertow along the beach suppresses the onshore net drift, making the initial sandbar migrate to the seaside. Under the condition of calm wave environment, both the undertow and net drift flow to the shoreline at the offshore side of the sandbar, and then push the initial sandbar to the shoreline. The consideration of surface roller has significant impact on the modeling results of the sandbar migration. As the roller transfer rate increases, the sandbar moves onshore especially under the storm wave condition.  相似文献

白垩纪中期Orbitolinids在全球许多地区均有分布，其生存地区以环特提斯洋的滨浅海地带为主，当时它沿这一滨浅海区广泛扩散。在拉萨地块。该动物群大量分布于冈底斯南缘前盆地，冈底斯－念青唐古拉弧内盆地和藏北弧背盆地。沿拉萨地块这一构造单元东西两侧的延续地段，Orbitolinids发育于缅甸中－东部的Central Cenozoic带和Shan-Tanintharyi地块，以及克什米尔Ladakh一带，该动物群向北穿越班公湖－怒江缝合带羌塘盆地扩散。受东特提斯洋的阻隔，其分布范围向南没有跨越印度河－雅鲁藏布江缝合带，印度板块当时可能已与非洲大陆分离并向北漂移，该动物群也没能从非洲大陆东侧越过海洋进入印度大陆，据Orbitolinids、介形虫和双壳类的分布，识别出以印度河－雅鲁藏布江缝合带为界的两个生物地理分区。  相似文献
