The effect of wind speed and bed slope on sand transport 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
This paper reports on a wind tunnel study of the effects of bed slope and wind speed on aeolian mass transport. The use of a sloping wind tunnel has enabled estimation of the friction angle α to be about 40° for saltating particles in the range 170–540 μm. A formula relating dimensionless mass transport to friction speed and bed slope is proposed, and mass transport data for five uniform sand samples and one non-uniform sand sample are shown to fit the equation well. In particular, the relationship reveals an overshoot in mass transport slightly above threshold collisions, a feature also evident when previous experimental data is re-examined. As the number of mid-air collisions between the saltating particles increases greatly with wind speed, the overshoot may occur as a result of increasing energy losses resulting from the collisions. Finally, it is demonstrated that data for saltating snow shows a similar overshoot in the dimensionless transport rate. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文 Aeolian sand transport results from interactions between the ground surface and airflow. Previous research has focused on the effects on sand entrainment and mass transport of surface features and wind velocity, but the influence of air density, which strongly constrains airflow characteristics and the resulting sand flow, has not been widely considered. In the present study, entrainment, saltation characteristics and transport rates were examined at nine experimental sites ranging in elevation from ?154 m below sea‐level (Aiding Lake) to 5076 m above sea‐level (Tanggula Mountain pass on the Qinghai–Tibetan plateau). At each site, a portable wind tunnel and high‐speed camera system were set up, and the friction wind velocity, threshold friction velocity and sand flow structure were observed systematically. For a given volumetric airflow, lower air density increases the wind velocity. Low air density also creates a high threshold friction velocity. The Bagnold wind erosion threshold model remains valid, but the value of empirical parameter A decreased with decreasing air density and ranged from 0·10 to 0·07, the smallest values reported in the literature. For a given wind velocity, increased altitude reduced total sand transport and creeping, but the saltation rate and saltation height increased. The present results provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms of the initiation and transport of sand by wind in regions with an extreme temperature or altitude (for example, alpine deserts and low‐lying lake basins) or on other planets, including Mars. These results also provide theoretical support for improved sand‐control engineering measures. The data and empirical equations provided in this paper improve the ability to estimate threshold and transport conditions for wind‐blown sand. 相似文献

考虑到传统浅埋偏压隧道围岩压力的分析仅以计算摩擦角体现围岩材料特性,没有将内摩擦角和黏聚力作为独立参数分开研究,基于规范法,提出水平地震作用下独立考虑黏聚力的浅埋偏压隧道围岩压力的简化解析分析方法,获得隧道顶部竖直围岩压力、隧道两侧水平侧压力以及滑动面破裂角的理论表达式,并对影响顶部竖直围岩压力、水平侧压力和破裂角的因素进行了研究。结果表明,竖直围岩压力与滑裂面摩擦角、地面倾角呈正相关,与水平地震效应系数、滑裂面黏聚力呈负相关;滑裂面内摩擦角、黏聚力、地面倾角越大,破裂角越大,水平地震加速度系数越大,破裂角越小;水平侧压力随滑裂面内摩擦角和黏聚力的增大而减小,随水平地震效应系数和地面倾角的增大而增大。研究成果可为浅埋偏压隧道的围岩应力计算提供一定的理论依据。 相似文献

由坡度和挡墙倾角的改变造成碎屑流冲击力学模型的改变是目前被忽略的问题。在碎屑流冲击倾式拦挡墙物理试验的基础上,利用离散元数值计算方法研究了坡度对碎屑流冲击立式拦挡墙（墙面与地面的夹角为90°）力学特征的影响,依据死区颗粒堆积特征,流动层颗粒冲击特征以及二者的相互作用特征提出了两种新力学模型：由倾斜冲击挡墙向坡面堆积转变的力学模型和考虑流动层对死区冲切摩擦作用的水平直接冲击力学模型。对不同冲击力学模型进行了验证分析,结果表明：坡度和挡墙倾角改变了死区的堆积特征从而改变了流动层的冲击方向和冲击力大小。当坡度小于40°时,碎屑流流动层首先沿死区上覆面倾斜冲击挡墙,在最大冲击力作用时刻,流动在坡面层状堆积,最大法向冲击合力可按静土压力公式估算。随着坡度的增大,在最大冲击力时刻,流动层颗粒直接冲击挡墙,但由于死区颗粒对流动层颗粒具有摩擦缓冲减速作用,大幅降低了流动层对挡墙的直接冲击力。此时死区对挡墙的作用力主要包括3个部分：流动层沿坡面冲击死区,由死区传递至挡墙的冲击力、流动层对死区的冲切摩擦力以及死区自重的静土压力。死区对挡墙作用力占最大法向冲击合力的比例增大至90%左右。当坡度由40°增大到50°时,在最大法向冲击合力作用时刻,流动层对死区的冲切摩擦力占最大冲击力的比例由15%增大到49%,流动层与死区之间的摩擦系数由滚动摩擦系数转变为静摩擦系数。提出的流动层对死区的冲切摩擦力为碎屑流冲击刚性挡墙力学计算模型提供了新的研究思路。 相似文献

The present study aims to investigate the relationships between several soil parameters (texture, organic matter and CaCO3 content) and the threshold wind velocity and erodibility of different soil types. Our aim was to determine the role of these soil parameters play in soil loss due to wind erosion and also to statistically evaluate these correlations. The erodibility studies were carried out in wind tunnel experiments, and the resulting data were analysed with multiple regression analysis and the Kruskal-Wallis test. We found that both the threshold wind speed and the erodibility of soils were mostly determined by silt fraction (0.05–0.02 mm), while sand fractions had a lesser effect on it. Our experiences with organic matter and CaCO3 similar, i.e. in spite of their correlation with the erosion, their contribution was not significant in the multivariate regression model. Consequently, based on mechanical composition of soils, one can predict threshold wind velocity and erodibility of soils. 相似文献

Saltation threshold on Earth, Mars and Venus 总被引：22，自引：1，他引：22
New formulations valid for wide ranges of particle diameter and density and gas density are presented for prediction of saltation threshold speed for small particles. A low-air-density wind tunnel was used to extend the range of previous investigations and to separate the effects of Reynolds number and interparticle forces of cohesion. The new formulations are used to predict saltation threshold for atmospheric conditions on the surface of the Earth, Mars, and Venus. 相似文献

The watershed of the Ningxia–Inner Mongolia reach of the Yellow River suffers serious wind erosion hazards and the areas with high wind erosion probabilities need to be identified to help in the building of the correct wind-sand blown hazard protection systems. In this study, the Integrated Wind-Erosion Modelling System model and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data set were used to identify the distributions of threshold wind speeds and wind erosion occurrence probabilities. Through field observations, the relationships among NDVI, vegetation cover, frontal area (lateral cover), roughness length, and threshold friction velocity were obtained. Then, using these relationships, the spatial distributions of threshold wind speeds for wind erosion at a height of 10 m for the different months were mapped. The results show that the threshold wind speed ranged from 7.91 to 35.7 m/s. Based on the threshold wind speed distributions, the wind erosion occurrence probabilities of different months were calculated according to the current wind speed. The results show that the distributions of wind erosion occurrence probabilities and threshold wind speeds were related to each other. The resulting maps of threshold wind speeds and wind erosion occurrence probabilities would help environmental and agricultural researchers in determining some strategies for mitigating or adapting from wind erosion hazards. 相似文献

Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Near Slopes 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
In the last decades a great attention was given by many authors to the evaluation of the static and seismic bearing capacity
of footings near slopes. In this paper a model has been developed based on the limit equilibrium method, considering a circular
surface propagates towards the slope until the sloping ground is reached. The bearing capacity is investigated considering
either the distance of the footing from the edge of the slope and/or the effect of the footing embedment. A validation of
the proposed model was made by a comparison with solutions taken from literature regarding the evaluation of the bearing capacity
for a footing adjacent to a slope and for an inclined load. The loading conditions consist in vertical and horizontal stress
on the footing and on the soil below the footing. Both the inertial and kinematic effects of the seismic loading have been
analyzed, and a simple equation has been derived for the evaluation of the seismic bearing capacity. The static and seismic
bearing capacity has been investigated as a function of the soil friction angle, of the seismic coefficient, of the sloping
ground. Finally, the influence of the distance of the footing from the edge of the slope was taken into consideration in the
evaluation of the bearing capacity, and a threshold distance at which the reduction of the bearing capacity due to the sloping
ground vanishes has been defined. 相似文献

以沙漠公路风沙土路基为研究对象,通过室内风蚀风洞试验研究路基的风蚀破坏规律,以及路基不同断面对风沙流运动的影响。以路基高度、路基边坡坡率和路基宽度作为路基断面主要设计参数,研究不同路基断面下风沙流扰动、增速、减速、恢复的过程,以及路基周围风速流场的变化特征,分析路基病害较未病害时路基周围流场的变化。试验结果表明：路基高度和边坡坡率对风沙流运动的影响较大。随路基高度增加,路基对风沙流流场扰动增强,迎风坡坡顶处吹蚀破坏和背风坡坡底处堆蚀破坏越显著,在确定的路基边坡坡率下,路基模型高度为250 mm较模型高度为60 mm时,迎风坡坡顶风速增加1.13倍,背风坡坡底风速减小2.53倍,建议沙漠公路路基高度宜小于2.5 m。进一步,在确定的路基高度下,比较不同的边坡坡率对路基沿程风速的影响,发现当路基边坡坡率为1:1.75时,路基沿程风速变化不明显,沙漠公路风沙土路基不宜被风蚀破坏。 相似文献

This paper reviews some aspects of wind tunnel experiments on sand-transporting winds. It follows previous papers that have discussed the influence of the outer region of the boundary layer on wind velocity measurements. This influence was quantified with the use Coles’Wake function. In this paper this correction is applied to six previously described wind velocity profiles. An attempt is made to calculate the profile parameter II from these measurements. The values found were not consistent with the expected II, which was determined by Coles for clean air flow. This value (II=0.55) was assumed to be valid in previous analyses for sand-transporting winds. Evidence for a mutual dependency of friction velocity and profile parameter is presented and the difficulty in determining u. is pointed out. It is suggested that the constant stress region of the boundary layer should be kept large enough for measurements when Coles’Wake function is not to be used in the data analysis. 相似文献

The effect of surface moisture on the entrainment of dune sand by wind: an evaluation of selected models 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
Abstract Reliable predictions of wind erosion depend on the accuracy of determining whether erosion occurs or not. Among the several factors that govern the initiation of soil movement by wind, surface moisture is one of the most significant. Some widely used models that predict the threshold shear velocity for particle detachment of wet soils by wind were critically reviewed and evaluated. Wind‐tunnel experiments were conducted on pre‐wetted dune sand with moisture contents ranging from 0·00 to 0·04 kg kg?1. Sand samples were exposed to different wind speeds for 2 min. Moisture content was determined gravimetrically before and after each experiment, and the saltation of sand particles was recorded electronically with a saltiphone. Shear velocities were deduced from the wind speed profiles. For each moisture content, the experiments were repeated at different shear velocities, with the threshold shear velocity being determined by least‐squares analysis of the relationships between particle number rates and shear velocity. Within the 2‐min test runs, temporal changes in particle number rates and moisture contents were detected. A steep increase in the threshold shear velocity with moisture content was observed. When comparing the models, large differences between the predicted results became apparent. At a moisture content of 0·007 kg kg?1, which is half the moisture content retained to the soil matrix at a water tension (or matric potential) of ?1·5 MPa, the increase in ‘wet’ threshold shear velocity predicted with the different models relative to the dry threshold shear velocity ranged from 117% to 171%. The highest care should therefore be taken when using current models to predict the threshold shear velocity of wet sediment. Nevertheless, the models of Chepil (1956; Proc. Soil Sci. Soc. Am., 20, 288–292) and Saleh & Fryrear (1995; Soil Sci., 160, 304–309) are the best alternatives available. 相似文献

In sand-control engineering, it is difficult to predict the optimal shrub cover, and to determine the relationship between this shrub cover and shrub height. Based on analysis of the physical mechanisms responsible for wind erosion (specifically, the increase in the threshold friction velocity required to entrain particles), a model was developed for the optimal shrub cover to control wind erosion and the optimal configuration that combines the best shrub cover and height. The value of a shrub plantation for counteracting erosion increases with increasing shrub cover and height, but is more sensitive to shrub cover. The friction wind velocity increases with increasing shrub cover and height. The optimal shrub cover was 60–65%, which confirms the results of previous Chinese field research. 相似文献

有关粉尘释放模型的应力分配模式存在问题的讨论 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
准确模拟粉尘释放通量对评价粉尘气溶胶的气候效应、沙漠化和沙尘暴防治具有重要意义。敏感性试验、室内和野外风洞实验表明被广泛使用的DPM（Dust Production Model）粉尘释放模型的2个应力分配模式——Marticorena模式和 Alfaro模式存在明显问题：由于目前空气动力学粗糙度模式还不能考虑粗糙元间隙率和粗糙元分布状况空气动力学粗糙度的影响,以空气动力学粗糙度为主要参数的Marticorena模式和 Alfaro模式还不能考虑粗糙元间隙率和粗糙元分布状况对应力分配的影响,而相关实验表明这些因素对应力分配存在显著影响;Marticorena模式和 Alfaro模式预测的应力分配系数和起动摩阻风速存在显著差异,目前实验结果还不能判断二者正确与否;Marticorena模式和 Alfaro模式预测的能够有效控制风蚀的应空气动力学粗糙度与实际观测相矛盾。针对上述问题提出了通过风洞实验改进当前应力分配模式的主要途径。 相似文献

A nabkha is a vegetated sand mound, which is typical of the aeolian landforms found in the Hotan River basin in Xinjiang,
China. This paper compares the results of a series of wind tunnel experiments with an on-site field survey of nabkhas in the
Hotan River basin of Xinjiang. Wind tunnel experiments were conducted on semi-spherical and conical sand mounds without vegetation
or shadow dunes. Field mounds were 40 times as large as the size of the wind tunnel models. In the wind tunnel experiments,
five different velocities from 6 to 14 m/s were selected and used to model the wind flow pattern over individual sand mound
using clean air without additional sand. Changes in the flow pattern at different wind speeds resulted in changes to the characteristic
structure of the nabkha surface. The results of the experiments for the semi-spherical sand mound at all wind velocities show
the formation of a vortex at the bottom of the upwind side of the mound that resulted in scouring and deposition of a crescentic
dune upwind of the main mound. The top part of the sand mound is strongly eroded. In the field, these dunes exhibited the
same scouring and crescentic dune formation and the eroded upper surface was often topped by a layer of peat within the mound
suggesting destroyed vegetation due to river channel migration or by possible anthropogenic forces such as fuel gathering,
etc. Experiments for the conical mounds exhibit only a small increase in velocity on the upwind side of the mound and no formation
of a vortex at the bottom of the upwind side. Instead, a vortex formed on the leeward side of the mound and overall, no change
occurred in the shape of the conical mound. In the field, conical mounds have no crescentic dunes on the upwind side and no
erosion at the top exposed below peat beds. Therefore, the field and laboratory experiments show that semi-spherical and conical
sand mounds respond differently to similar wind conditions with different surface configuration and development of crescent-shaped
upwind deposits when using air devoid of additional sediment.

Use of backpropagation neural network for landslide monitoring: a case study in the higher Himalaya 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
Static and dynamic rock slope stability analyses were performed using a numerical discontinuum modelling technique for a 700-m high rock slope in western Norway. The rock slope has been investigated by the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), which has been carrying out rock slide studies for the county Møre and Romsdal in western Norway. The purpose of numerical modelling was to estimate the volume of the rock mass that could potentially slide under static and dynamic forces. This estimation was required to assess the run-up heights (tsunami) in a fjord that could potentially be caused by the rockslide. Three cases have been simulated for predicting the behaviour of the rock slope. First, an initial static loading is applied in the numerical model to simulate the prevailing rock mass conditions at the site. Second, saturated and weathered joint conditions are modelled by reducing the residual friction angle along the discontinuities of the rock mass. In doing so, the model simulates the effect of degradation of discontinuities in the rock slope. Third, a dynamic loading, based on peak ground accelerations expected in the area, is applied to simulate dynamic earthquake conditions.
These numerical studies have provided some useful insights into the deformation mechanisms in the rock slope. Both sliding and rotation of blocks start to occur once the residual friction angle along the discontinuities is reduced and when the region is shaken by a strong earthquake. The results indicate that, due to variations in the inclination of discontinuities, the entire slope does not become unstable and that down-slope sliding and rotation of blocks occur mainly on the top layers of the slope. Within the range of parameter values considered for this study, it is unlikely that the whole rock slope can be destabilised. The study provides an illustration of how the geo-mechanical properties of a rock mass can be integrated in a discontinuum rock slope model, which is used for predicting the behaviour of the slope under existing environmental and earthquake conditions. This model has helped not only to better understand the dynamics of the rockslide but also to estimate the potential rock volume that can become unstable when subjected to static and dynamic loads. 相似文献

Aeolian saltation threshold: the effect of density ratio 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Saltation threshold data from three wind tunnels and from hydraulic flumes are presented to show that the dimensionless threshold friction speed for small particles is a continuous function of particle-to-fluid-density ratio. In addition, the dimensionless threshold speed is a function of the grain-friction Reynolds number and an interparticle force term. The variation with density ratio seems to be due to the relative energy with which particles impact other particles to initiate saltation. 相似文献

The effect of unsteady winds on sediment transport on the stoss slope of a transverse dune, Silver Peak, NV, USA 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
Rapid (10 s) measurements of sediment transport and wind speed on the stoss slope of a transverse dune indicate that the majority of sand transported is associated with fluctuations in wind speed with a periodicity of 5–20 min duration. Increases in the sediment transport rate towards the dune crest are associated with a small degree of flow acceleration. The increase in wind speed is sufficient, however, to greatly increase values of the intermittency index ( γ ), so that the duration of saltation is extended in crestal regions of the dune. The pattern of sediment transport on the stoss slope and, therefore, the locus of areas of erosion and deposition change with the regional wind speed. Erosion of the crest occurs during wind speed events just above transport threshold, whereas periods of higher magnitude winds result in deposition of sand upwind of the crest, thereby increasing dune height. Although short-term temporal and spatial relations between sand transport and wind speed on the stoss slope are well understood, it is not clear how these relations affect dune morphology over longer periods of time. 相似文献
