Abstract
River bifurcations are crucial in distributing water, sediment, and flood hazards within river networks. This study established an idealized Delft3D model to investigate the individual and combined impacts of streamflow, tidal amplitude, and river length on flow division, using the Tianhe/Nanhua bifurcation in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) as a case study. The results indicate that flow division is primarily controlled by tidal dynamics during the dry season, whereas streamflow and river length play a dominant role in the wet season, especially during flood periods. A higher tidal amplitude in one branch inhibits flow division, while a shorter branch length enhances flood discharge. Specifically, the Donghai Waterway experiences higher tidal amplitudes at its outlet compared to the Modaomen Waterway, leading to reduced flow division in the dry season. However, during the wet season and flood events, increased streamflow suppresses tidal influence, and the shorter flow path in the Donghai Waterway generates a steeper water surface slope, facilitating greater flow division and contributing to flood mitigation. These findings provide valuable insights for water resource management and flood risk mitigation in the PRD and other river bifurcations with similar geometric and tidal characteristics.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
