| 摘 要： | There exists a wide tidal flat in the Qiantang Estuary. In this article the sediment concentrations in the mainstream and on the tidal flat are computed separately, taking into account the transverse exchange of sediment between them. The basic equation is similar to that used in Reference 2], but the ratio of the bottom sediment concentration to the vertical average is not taken as the same to the ratio of sediment transport capacity. The ratio of sediment concentration can be determined by the computational results of a simple model and checked by the field data. The formula of the sediment transport capacity for tidal flow can be obtained by statistical analysis directly using the measured values of sediment concentration.The verification of sediment concentration has been carried out with two sections both in the mainstream and on the tidal flat during twelve successive tidal cycles. The average discrepancy between the calculated and the measured is less than 20%.
