The problem of migration of a hydrocarbon liquid through aeration zone to groundwater table is formulated and solved analytically. The aeration zone is represented by fractured–porous rocks, and the pollution source is a shallow pool that has formed due to a spill. Two schemes of liquid infiltration from fractures into rock blocks—piston-like and kinetic—are considered. The trajectory of pollution front in fractures and its distribution in the rock blocks are found. 相似文献

A method is presented for incorporating the hydraulic effects of vertical fracture zones into two-dimensional cell-based continuum models of ground water flow and particle tracking. High hydraulic conductivity features are used in the model to represent fracture zones. For fracture zones that are not coincident with model rows or columns, an adjustment is required for the hydraulic conductivity value entered into the model cells to compensate for the longer flowpath through the model grid. A similar adjustment is also required for simulated travel times through model cells. A travel time error of less than 8% can occur for particles moving through fractures with certain orientations. The fracture zone continuum model uses stochastically generated fracture zone networks and Monte Carlo analysis to quantify uncertainties with simulated advective travel times. An approach is also presented for converting an equivalent continuum model into a fracture zone continuum model by establishing the contribution of matrix block transmissivity to the bulk transmissivity of the aquifer. The methods are used for a case study in west-central Florida to quantify advective travel times from a potential wetland rehydration site to a municipal supply wellfield. Uncertainties in advective travel times are assumed to result from the presence of vertical fracture zones, commonly observed on aerial photographs as photolineaments. 相似文献

The November 1994 eruption at Merapi volcano provided good evidence of decoupling of dome-collapse pyroclastic flows and of large-scale detachment of an ash-cloud surge (ACS) component from the basal block-and-ash flow (BAF). Timing and stratigraphic relationships of the largest 1994 ACS indicate that this escaped from the valleys, travelled well ahead of the BAF, arrived at the termination tens of seconds before it and deposited a discrete ACS deposit beneath the BAF unit. This suggests that the ACS detachment mostly occurred relatively high on the volcano slope, likely at the foot of the proximal cone. Later pyroclastic flow eruptions in January 1997 and July 1998 also showed evidence of ACS detachment, although to a lesser extent, suggesting that ACSs could be a frequent hazard at Merapi volcano. Based on an extensive review of the available literature and on field investigations of historical deposits, we show here that flow decoupling and ACS detachment in the way inferred from the 1994 eruption is a common process at Merapi. The ACS-related destructions outside valleys were frequently reported in the recent past activity of the volcano, i.e. in at least 16 pyroclastic flow eruptions since 1927. Destruction occurred systematically in eruptions where maximum runout of the BAFs was 6.5 km or more, and occurred rarely for BAF runouts of 4.5 km or less. The ACS deposits have been recognized beneath some valley-filling BAF units we attribute to some recent destructive eruptions, i.e. the 1930, 1954, 1961 and 1969 eruptions. Topographic conditions at Merapi volcano favouring ACS detachment include: (a) the high slope (30°) of the proximal cone, leading to high proximal velocities of the pyroclastic flows and thus to the transfer of large amounts of particles into the ash cloud; (b) the strong break in slope at the foot of the proximal cone, where the velocity of the basal BAF is strongly reduced and a major ACS component is thought to form and detach by shearing over the BAF; and (c) the small depth of most valleys in the first kilometres beyond the foot of the cone, which allows minor ACS components to escape from the valleys during travel of the BAF; however, flow decoupling and ACS detachment occur for only some of the numerous pyroclastic flows that follow the same path in a given eruption. This indicates that topography alone cannot lead to flow decoupling. We suggest two factors that control flow decoupling and its extent. The main one is flow volume (and thus flux, as both are correlated in almost instantaneous, dome-collapse events), as suggested by the observed relationship between flow decoupling and the travel distance of the pyroclastic flows. The second factor is the amount of available ash in the flow at its early stage, which influences the mass and thus momentum of the ash cloud. The amount of ash in the pyroclastic flows of Merapi may depend on several factors, among which are (a) the physical and thermal state of the part of the active dome that collapses, and (b) the proportion of older, cold rocks incorporated in the flow, either by undermining of surrounding summit rocks by the current pyroclastic flow activity or by erosion on the upper slopes. 相似文献

Data from a reversed seismic crustal profile crossing the Caledonides of southern Norway suggest a continuously increasing P-wave velocity followed by a low-velocity zone extending from a depth of about 14 km downwards. Interpretation of observed travel time and amplitude characteristics leads to a thickness of 4 km and velocity of 6.0 km/s for this layer, the velocity above and below it being about 6.6 km/s. The role of such a velocity inversion is discussed in the tectonic framework of the Caledonian orogeny and other relevant geophysical information, and it is suggested that the low-velocity zone materializes deep-seated sediments under Precambrian crystalline rocks. The structure of the lower crust is more tentatively established, but still in reasonable agreement with other seismic investigations in the general profiling area. 相似文献

The distribution law of averaged coefficients of aeration is established for the aeration zone in accelerated turbulent flows in prismatic channels, and a technique is proposed for the evaluation of the length of this zone. Both the results are in agreement with the data of special laboratory studies. The estimation of the length of the aeration zone is based on relationships derived by the author and verified for flow-controlling parameters varying within wide limits. The law of increasing air content was also confirmed by field measurement data. 相似文献

The most active and widespread negative anthropogenic processes in built-up territories is the underflooding and overmoistening
of soils and grounds in the aeration zone. Prediction of water regime in aeration zone soils in Rostov Velikii Town, affected
by many-century economic activity, is considered. The prediction procedure uses experimental data on hydrophysical soils properties.
The results of parameterization and verification of moisture transport process in the aeration zone and the results of its
calculation for years with different moisture content in different urban landscapes are given. 相似文献

The Piedmont upland of Maryland has been variously interpreted as a peneplain, a series of peneplains, a surface of marine planation, and a landscape in dynamic equilibrium. These different perspectives of landform evolution are related to different scales of time and space. Both equilibrium and episodic erosion features can be recognized in the modern landscape. An equilibrium condition is suggested by adjustment of first and second order streams to rock structure and lithology, entrenchment of some streams against gneiss domes, altitudinal zonation of rock types around gneiss domes, correlation of lithology with overburden thickness on uplands, decreasing overburden thickness on uplands related to decreasing degree of metamorphism of crystalline rocks, and correlation of secondary mineral assemblages with subsurface drainage and slope. The long-term episodic character of erosion is suggested by clastic wedges on the adjacent Coastal Plain, an upland of low relief that truncates non-carbonate rocks of different lithologies, isovolumetric chemical weathering of alumino-silicate rocks, clastic deposition in marble valleys, and weathering profile truncation by modern drainage. The Maryland Piedmont may have been an area of positive relief subject to subaerial erosion since Triassic and possibly Permian time. The upland surface preserved in the eastern Piedmont developed by the Late Cretaceous. In the interval from the Late Cretaceous to the Late Miocene, low input of terrigenous sediments to the Coastal Plain, dominance of marine sedimentation, and spotty evidence of saprolite formation on crystalline rocks, suggest that the Maryland Piedmont was an area of low relief undergoing intense weathering. Incised valleys were formed during a cycle of erosion probably initiated in the Late Miocene and extensive colluvial sediments were deposited on hillslopes by periglacial processes during the Pleistocene. 相似文献

Groundwater flows and travel times were analyzed under a landfill site characterized by a thick unsaturated zone, in an arid environment, using two-dimensional models. Transport in the unsaturated zone is important in arid environments with thick vadose zones and usually determines the travel time of groundwater from the landfill site to the regulatory compliance surface. The combined use of a parallel flow (Dupuit-Forchheimer) areal model and vertical cross-sectional model is explored at a site typical in the utility industry. Flow paths and travel times to the compliance zone are obtained for use in landfill site design or environmental impact assessments. Sensitivity analysis shows that boundary conditions are important factors influencing the entire analysis and thus need to be confirmed with field measurements. 相似文献

Experimental models are used to study the poorly known function of pore waters, i.e., their role in hydrosphere pollution. This issue is studied as applied to modern bottom sediments, soil-forming grounds of the aeration zone, and impermeable clays in aquifers. The natural and technogenic geodynamic loads, accompanied by compaction and destruction of water-bearing rocks, are shown to intensify the processes of pore water pressing with the release of rock-forming elements, heavy metals, and organic substances into bottom water layers in water bodies, free soil or intermediate waters. This results in an environmental damage to water bodies, which could be used for drinking water supply and fishery. This study is of particular importance in areas of present-day oil and gas production. 相似文献

Based on the results of instrumental observations of geomagnetic variations caused by the propagation of seismic waves through a fault zone, the dependences between the amplitudes of the induced seismomagnetic effect and seismic signal as a function of distance r to the midline of the fault are obtained. For the first time, it is shown that the amplitude of the seismomagnetic effect is maximal in the fault damage zone. The phenomenological model describing the generation of magnetic signals by seismic waves propagating through the crushed rock in the tectonic fault zone is suggested. It is assumed that geomagnetic variations are generated by the changes in the electrical conductivity of the fragmented rocks as a result of the deformation of the rock pieces contacts. The amplitudes of the geomagnetic variations calculated from the model agree with the instrumental observations. 相似文献

Organized spatial distribution of plants (plant zonation) in salt marshes has been linked to the soil aeration condition in the rhizosphere through simplistic tidal inundation parameters. Here, a soil saturation index (ratio of saturation period to tidal period at a soil depth) is introduced to describe the soil aeration condition. This new index captures the effects of not only the tidal inundation period and frequency but also the flow dynamics of groundwater in the marsh soil. One‐dimensional numerical models based on saturated flow with the Boussinesq approximations and a two‐dimensional variably saturated flow model were developed to explore the behaviour of this new soil aeration variable under the influence of spring‐neap tides. Simulations revealed two characteristic zones of soil aeration across the salt marsh: a relatively well aerated near‐creek zone and a poorly aerated interior zone. In the near‐creek zone, soils undergo periodic wetting and drying as the groundwater table fluctuates throughout the spring‐neap cycle. In the interior, the soil remains largely water saturated except for neap tide periods when limited drainage occurs. Although such a change of soil aeration condition has been observed in previous numerical simulations, the soil saturation index provides a clear delineation of the zones that are separated by an ‘inflexion point’ on the averaged index curve. The results show how the saturation index represents the effects of soil properties, tidal parameters and marsh platform elevation on marsh soil aeration. Simulations of these combined effects have not been possible with traditional tidal inundation parameters. The saturation index can be easily derived using relatively simple models based on five non‐dimensional variables. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Introduction It is well known that the occurrence of moderate and strong earthquakes and the distribution of seismically active belts are most directly related to deep crustal faults. Therefore, studying geometrical spreading and physical state of medium of deep crustal faults has always been a major subject in earthquake science. It is not only of great significance to the understanding of deep structural background and seismogenic mechanism of strong earthquakes, but also of great help to se… 相似文献

Joint wavelet analysis of complete and downsampled series of paleomagnetic and petromagnetic characteristics of rocks in the Matuyama-Jaramillo transitional zone in the Adzhidere section is used to extract paleomagnetic data whose variations are associated with the geomagnetic field alone and data correlating with variations in petromagnetic parameters. It supposed that this correlation can be caused by an external factor affecting weak variations in the magnetic field and climatic changes reflected in the composition and amount of the ferromagnetic fraction in rocks. Preliminary data are obtained for the characteristic times of field variations at the time of accumulation of rocks in the transitional zone. 相似文献

The geomorphology and related geostructures in the region of the dun valleys in Nepal (e.g. the Deukhuri Dun, the Chitwan Dun, the Hetauda Dun and the Trijuga Dun) have been surveyed in order to understand the neotectonics along the Himalayan front. The sub-Himalayan intermontane basins developed as piggyback basins located on the thrust-sheet of the Himalaya Front Fault (HFF equivalent to the Frontal Churia Thrust, the Main Siwalik Thrust or the Main Frontal Thrust). Each piggyback basin is a result of the north-northeast–south-southwest crustal shortening between the Indian Shield and the Himalayas. The evolution of the dun valleys is recorded as current reversals between the Upper Siwalik Group and the basin fills. The Upper Siwalik Group formed as piedmont alluvial fans distributed along the foot of the Lesser Himalaya and/or the Inner Churia Range, and show predominantly southerly current directions. In contrast, the basin fills distributed along the southern margin of the dun valleys formed by north-flowing drainage systems. The oldest basin fills of the piggyback basins appear to have commenced by the middle Pleistocene in the Deukhuri Dun and the Chitwan Dun, by the late Pleistocene in the Hetauda Dun, and by the latest Pleistocene in the Trijuga Dun. The diachronous evolution of the dun valleys suggest that the morphogenesis of the HFF zone was controlled by west-to-east propagation in late Quaternary time. These morphotectonics suggest the oblique-slip thrusting of the HFF zone which can be related to the oblique convergence between the Indian Shield and the Himalayas, and/or the counter-clockwise rotation of the Indian Subcontinent. 相似文献

—?The geology of Lisbon is very diversified, with a predominance of cretaceous rocks (basalt and limestone) in the western zone, while east and south it is covered by progressively thicker Tertiary deposits with diverse lithologies (sands, clays, silts, sandstones and limestones) and different geotechnical properties. Lisbon also contains several narrow long valleys, filled with thin alluvial deposits. A set of new geological profiles was drawn, along the east–west direction, 500 meters spaced. These profiles were based on the existing geological maps and complemented with new information collected from recent geotechnical boreholes. Theoretical modeling, using the Thomson–Haskell 1-D approach, was performed for 314 geological columns chosen from these profiles according to a regular grid 500 meters long. The physical parameters were obtained from specialized literature, seismic experiments and laboratory tests. The results are presented as contour maps for the peak frequencies and for the corresponding amplification factors. These results are compared with the microzonation map obtained by microtremor analysis and with the damage distribution observed in past earthquakes. 相似文献

Groundwater that bypasses the riparian zone by travelling along deep flow paths may deliver high concentrations of fertilizer‐derived NO3? to streams, or it may be impacted by the NO3? removal process of denitrification in streambed sediments. In a study of a small agricultural catchment on the Atlantic coastal plain of Virginia's eastern shore, we used seepage meters deployed in the streambed to measure specific discharge of groundwater and its solute concentrations for various locations and dates. We used values of Cl? concentration to discriminate between bypass water recharged distal to the stream and that contained high NO3? but low Cl? concentrations and riparian‐influenced water recharged proximal to the stream that contained low NO3? and high Cl? concentrations. The travel time required for bypass water to transit the 30‐cm‐thick, microbially active denitrifying zone in the streambed determined the extent of NO3? removal, and hydraulic conductivity determined travel time through the streambed sediments. At all travel times greater than 2 days, NO3? removal was virtually complete. Comparison of the timescales for reaction and transport through the streambed sediments in this system confirmed that the predominant control on nitrate flux was travel time rather than denitrification rate coefficients. We conclude that extensive denitrification can occur in groundwater that bypasses the riparian zone, but a residence time in biologically active streambed sediments sufficient to remove a large fraction of the NO3? is only achieved in relatively low‐conductivity porous media. Instead of viewing them as separate, the streambed and riparian zone should be considered an integrated NO3? removal unit. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Therefore, the mecha-nism of petroleum occurrence and basin dynamics have been paid much attention to by geo-scientists all the time. With multi-phase tectonic movements en-dured by the basin, its tectonic pattern is very complex.

A one-dimensional flowline model has been constructed, tested and applied to two formerly glaciated valley basins within the Chilean Lake District. The vertically integrated ice flow model is similar to those used to study historical fluctuations of European Alpine glaciers and includes terms for internal deformation and basal sliding. In addition, longitudinal deviatoric stresses are computed and velocity terms are correspondingly adjusted. The model is driven through a mass balance term forced by a stepped lowering of the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) through time. Experiments, based on generating equilibrium glacier surface profiles corresponding to various ELAs, indicate that a lowering of at least 1000 m of the ELA from its present-day position is required to simulate the glacial maximum. Furthermore, the specific geometry of the two valleys provides an important control on the extent of the two glaciers, effectively decoupling them from further climatic deterioration once they have advanced beyond the constraining influence of their valleys into the piedmont zone. The tight nesting of terminal moraine loops provides evidence for this topographical control on palaeoglacier extent. The modelled response and sensitivity of the two palaeoglaciers to climate change differ markedly as a result of contrasting valley geometry. Glaciers resting on steeper gradients tend to have thinner profiles, faster mass turnover times and correspondingly shorter volume time-scales. Puyehue glacier has a response time of c. 1000 years whereas the Rupanco glacier has a response time of c. 2000 years. Hence, Puyehue is more sensitive to climatic fluctuations occurring on a time-scale of 500–1000 years. Furthermore, the Rupanco glacier may lag or even fail to respond at all to climatic fluctuations at these time-scales, a conclusion substantiated by field evidence. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
