Abstract

ABSTRACT With river water quality deterioration in recent years, an increasing number of river water quality control studies have been conducted. Among relevant methods, aeration and vegetation planting are effective techniques. The combination of aeration and vegetation can improve the purification effect on the water quality. Based on flume experiments, the mass transfer coefficient of dissolved oxygen in rivers with floating vegetation patches of different diameters under hydrodynamics was studied. Large-diameter floating vegetation can effectively reduce the breaking of bubbles and increase the mass transfer coefficient of dissolved oxygen in rivers. According to mechanism analysis, a model of the oxygen mass transfer coefficient in floating vegetated channels was proposed, and a favorable simulation effect was obtained. This type of research could provide a theoretical basis for selecting and arranging vegetation in aeration floating vegetated channels.
