Abstract

In order to discuss the sedimentary characteristics and influences affected by water level fluctuations of river dominated delta mouth bar during different developmental periods,taking the Poyang lake Xinjiang delta for modern sedimentary study object,though statistics and analysis for the satellite photos of four typical river dominated deltas home or abroad,this article made clear about the development process and its sedimentary characteristics,calculated the main parameters of river mouth bar in different developmental periods,clarified the controlling effects of water level fluctuations on the development of the river mouth bar.The study results show as follows:It will experience a series of depositions after the formation of the river mouth bar and develop levee,splay,crevasse channel,sheetflood deposits,sheet sand,mud deposits,etc.The development of the river mouth bar compomer can be divided into four stages:Triangle river mouth bar compomer,V river mouth bar compomer,irregular V river mouth bar compomer,and diara-like river mouth bar compomer.The ratio of the length of river mouth bar compomer and the width of river channel before bifurcation can be used as an important parameter to divide the development stages of river mouth bar compomer.During the high water level conditions,the development of the river mouth bar compome rpresents to the deposits of far sand bar,prodelta,lake mud and the development of splay,swamp,interdistributary bay as the result of the river overflew the levee.During the low water level conditions,the development of the river mouth bar compomer presents to the development of river mouth bar and levee.

Key words： River dominated delta; River mouth bar; Sedimentary characteristics; Formation process; Water level fluctuation
