Abstract
The composite ecological floating bed was a commonly used in-situ treatment technology for the remediation and purification of polluted water bodies. The plant root system on the floating bed was the main area for the absorption and degradation of pollutants in the water, and its hindering effect made the flow rate of the water flow into the area when the flow rate was drastically reduced, and part of the water flow would leave the root zone from the side or the bottom, which would affect the purification effect. Therefore, it was vital to clarify the overflow situation of the river cross-section under the effect of ecological floating bed. In this paper, on the basis of physical model tests, the lateral distribution characteristics of flow velocity in the open channel of composite ecological floating beds under different aeration and flooding ratios were investigated, and the lateral partitioning of the time-averaged flow velocity and its diversion law were revealed. This study could further quantify the lateral outflow percentage and bottom outflow percentage of the root zone of the floating beds, which could provide theoretical guidance and support for the selection and layout of the ecological floating beds in the field in the future.
期刊介绍:
Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers.
Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.
