不同深度处的含水介质温度时序资料振幅比或相位滞后能用来计算地下水垂向流速,典型的解析模型是Hatch模型。为了评价Hatch模型的参数灵敏度,采用局部灵敏度分析方法确定该模型的主要影响因子及相关参数与模型响应的依存关系,再由全局灵敏度分析方法评价参数共同作用对模型计算结果的影响。灵敏度分析结果表明:Hatch模型精度的主要影响因子是测点距离（Δz）,其次是介质比热容（ρscs）和有效孔隙度（ne）,而基准热传导系数（λ0）和热弥散度（β）的影响甚微。基准热传导系数和热弥散度与计算流速呈负相关,其余参数则与之呈正相关。因此在实践中,需保证测点距离的准确性,而对基准热传导系数和热弥散度可取经验值。 相似文献

空化空蚀和掺气减蚀机理的研究是高速射流研究的重要方面。在微淹没条件下,保证闸室面积与射流出口面积比不变,对设置门槽的有压矩形闸室后接圆管射流的突扩突跌消力池空化特性进行减压试验,其中跌坎高度S（5.5 m和4.0 m）和圆管长度L2（L2/d=2、1和0,d为圆管直径）。跌坎高度S从5.5 m降低至4.0 m,门槽及圆管射流出口处消力池边墙发生空化的可能性变化仅10%。圆管长度L2/d=2和0时门槽发生空化的可能性比L2/d=1时高出40%~60%;而L2/d=0时圆管射流出口处边墙的空化可能性比L2/d=1时可高出260%,L2继续增加对空化特性的不利影响有限。增加跌坎高度S有利于水流掺气,为达到良好的掺气减蚀效果,不宜过低。因此,跌坎高度S对门槽及圆管射流出口处消力池边墙空化特性影响较小,而圆管长度L2对其空化特性影响较大。 相似文献

采用变胶结指数m和饱和度指数n的阿尔奇公式仍是目前定量评价低阻油层饱和度的主要方法之一。然而,由于不同地区低阻油层的成因不同,从而使得低阻油层m和n的影响因素随地区不同而发生变化。因此,针对不同地区低阻油层,有必要研究其阿尔奇公式m和n的影响因素及变化规律。依据古龙南地区葡萄花低电阻率油层划分标准以及考虑岩性、物性、电性变化,选取了低阻油层岩样,设计了岩样岩石物理实验。基于岩石物理实验数据,绘制m和n与物性参数、孔隙结构参数、黏土附加导电能力参数的交会图。经分析可知：低阻油层的m和n值小于常规油层的m和n值,并随孔渗综合指数、中值半径、平均半径、半径均值的增大而增大。低阻油层的m值随泥质体积分数、阳离子交换容量、微孔隙体积与可动流体体积之比的增大而减小,随核磁共振测量的T2几何平均值的增加而增大;n值随孔隙度、孔隙度和泥质体积分数比值的增加而增大。低阻油层的m值与T2几何平均值、微孔隙体积与可动流体体积之比关系较好,n值与孔渗综合指数、平均半径、最大半径、半径均值的相关性非常好。研究表明,低阻油层的m值受孔隙结构和泥的影响较大,而n受孔隙结构影响较大。可用T2几何平均值或微孔隙体积与可动流体体积之比确定低阻油层的m值,可用孔渗综合指数、平均半径、最大半径、半径均值确定低阻油层的n值。 相似文献

阶梯-深潭系统是山区河流广泛分布的控制性河床结构,泥沙输移过程中大颗粒碰撞阶梯关键石块,使其发生位移,强烈影响阶梯-深潭的稳定性。以单个阶梯-深潭的关键石块为研究对象,重点考虑碰撞对阶梯-深潭的影响,量化来沙中大颗粒碰撞作用并改进稳定性理论模型,利用新模型分析阶梯-深潭的临界条件和破坏机制。来沙颗粒对关键石块的碰撞作用受自身粒径、运动速度和阶梯下游冲刷程度影响且皆为正相关关系。颗粒撞击减小阶梯失稳临界流量,且参与碰撞的石块粒径越大,减小作用越明显。当η> 0.55时（η=D1/D,D1为碰撞石块粒径,D为关键石块粒径）,临界流量下降幅度达到50%以上,表明来沙中卵石漂石对阶梯-深潭稳定性发挥主要影响。山区河流发生低频率洪水或滑坡泥石流,向下游河道输运大粒径石块并与阶梯碰撞,显著增大转动合力矩并降低失稳临界流量,使得单个阶梯-深潭更易达到临界条件发生破坏。 相似文献

为简化沟灌二维累积入渗量的数值计算,采用理论分析和数值模拟相结合的方法,研究分析了土壤初始含水率、入渗水深、沟底宽、边坡系数、土壤质地和容重等因素对沟灌边界效应和拟合系数γ的影响,并建立了系数γ与主要影响因素间的函数关系式,提出了沟灌累积入渗量简化计算方法.结果表明,土壤初始含水率、沟底宽和边坡系数对沟灌边界效应的影响较小,而入渗水深、土壤质地和容重对沟灌边界效应的影响显著;拟合系数γ主要与入渗水深的变化有关,随入渗水深的增大呈现减小趋势,但对初始含水率、沟底宽、边坡系数、土壤质地和容重等因素变化的敏感性较低,可忽略其影响;建立了估算拟合系数γ的计算式,结合已有文献资料对其可靠性进行了验证,结果表明黏壤土和砂壤土不同入渗时间内,其沟灌累积入渗量计算值与实测值和HYDRUS软件模拟值具有高的一致性,说明文中所建公式估算拟合系数γ值可靠.研究结果可为简化沟灌累积入渗量的数值计算提供理论依据和技术支撑. 相似文献

为了查明洪泽凹陷赵集次凹阜四段盐岩成因,利用录井、测井、古生物和地球化学资料,对苏北盆地洪泽凹陷赵集次凹古新统阜宁组四段(E1f4)的盐岩沉积特征进行了分析,发现阜四段含盐系地层主要发育石盐岩,硫酸盐岩次之,还有少量碳酸盐岩。石盐岩单层厚度大,纯度高,横向分布稳定。对比研究认为赵集次凹E1f4盐岩应为淮安凸起上白垩统浦口组(K2p)盐岩经溶解搬运至洪泽凹陷赵集次凹深水湖盆中,使盐度过饱和后再沉积成因。赵集次凹E1f4比淮安凸起K2p石盐岩矿层纯度高;盐岩洁净、盐间夹灰-深灰色泥岩,未见浅水蒸发构造;生物化石以陆相介形类为主,淡水滨浅湖的腹足类和轮藻化石稀少,在E1f4地层中存在仅见于K2p地层中的Cicat ricosisporites pseudoanrifer化石以及Welwitschiapitesningensis、Cicatricosisporites pseudoaurifer等;两地盐岩的卤水类型均为硫酸盐-氯化物型,而赵集次凹E1f4盐岩重金属元素含量较低。赵集次凹阜四段存在两个主要成盐期:上盐亚段与下盐亚段,对比研究发现二者的盐岩类型、特征及成盐序列有较大差异,尝试根据盐类物质供给的成分和速率的不同建立了相应的成盐模式:下盐亚段为深水近源快速补给"石盐岩-无水芒硝岩-石盐岩再沉积"成盐模式;上盐亚段为深水近源缓慢补给"钙芒硝岩-石盐岩再沉积"成盐模式。 相似文献

Effects of gully erosion and gully filling on soil depth and crop production in the black soil region, northeast China 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

Gully erosion is a very serious problem in the black soil region of northeast China. Gully filling is often adopted for controlling gully erosion by local farmers and thus causes more serious soil erosion. In this study an ephemeral gully (EG, 74 m) and a classical gully (CG, 52 m) connected at the gully’s headcut were selected as the study site. Two comparisons were made to explore the effects of gully erosion and the subsequent gully filling on soil depth and soybean yield: (1) soil depth between 81 sample points in the study site and 11 reference points along the same slope with the gully; (2) soybean yield between 81 sample points in the study site and 30 baseline locations near the study site. The results indicated that gully erosion caused the reduction of soil depth and soybean yield. Although filling gullies with soil from adjacent areas seemed to be an expedient way to remediate the gullies, it resulted in substantial soybean yield reduction. Gully erosion reduced the soil depth and soybean yield in 74.4 and 83.9 % of the study site, respectively. The soybean yield reduction ratio was 34.5 % for the whole study site and 2.6 % for the black soil region. Soil depth was the most important soil property indicator to reduce yield. Every 1 cm decrease in soil depth in the areas adjacent to gullies due to infilling activities resulted in a 2 % decrease in yield. More significant was the deposition of sediment from gully erosion, which completely eliminated soybean yield. Currently, effective soil and water conservation measures are not known and adopted by local farmers extensively. In the future, once some measures for preventing soil erosion, in particular gully erosion, were proved effective, these technologies should be disseminated among local farmers. 相似文献

The gullied systems from the Falciu Hills within the Chioara catchment (2997 ha) consist of both main types of gullies, discontinuous and large continuous ones along valley bottoms, and lots of ephemeral gullies. Several methods have been used to measure and estimate gully characteristics. Then, the gully development stages, the effect of the natural conditions, and especially the impact of land management on gullying in the Falciu Hills over the last two centuries have been defined. In addition, the role of gully erosion in triggering landslides has also been studied. Two main periods have been distinguished (until 1960 and 1961–2012) for assessing major characteristics of land degradation. The results show that total gully area in the Chioara catchment is 66.4 ha excepting for the ephemeral gullies, and areas occupied by gullies from the five study sub-catchments (2334 ha) account for two-thirds. Total length of the main gully network in the entire catchment is 33.2 km from which the five sub-catchments account for 71 %. The mean gully density of 1.11 km km−2 supports the evidence that here gullying is the major environmental threat. Half of the gully areal growth and three-quarters of the new landslide area occurred over the 1961–2012 period. Delayed deforestation peaking during 1830–1930 and land conversion to arable use resulted in severe soil erosion, high aggradation along the non-gullied valley bottoms, and severe gullying. The average gully head retreat rate over the last two centuries from four trunk continuous gullies is 14 m year−1, and the sediment yield from gullying only accounted for 54–69 % of the sediment mass produced by water erosion. The evolution of gullies is linked to major land-use changes in the study area. Despite a decreasing tendency of gullying and catchment area over the last half century, gullying still remains problematically high in East Romania.

This study assessed temporal variation in soil erosion rates in response to energy consumption of flow (ΔE). It employed an in situ bank gully field flume experiment with upstream catchment areas with bare (BLG) or cultivated land (CLG) that drained down to bare gully headcuts. Water discharge treatments ranged from 30 to 120 L Min−1. Concentrated flow discharge clearly affected bank gully soil erosion rates. Excluding minimal discharge in the CLG upstream catchment area (30 L min−1), a declining power function trend (p ≤ 0.1) was observed with time in soil erosion rates for both BLG and CLG upstream catchment areas and downstream gully beds. Non-steady state soil erosion rates were observed after an abrupt collapse along the headcut slope after prolonged scouring treatments. However, as the experiment progressed, ΔE and energy consumption of flow per unit soil loss (ΔEu) exhibited a logarithmic growth trend (p < 0.1) at each BLG and CLG position. Although similar temporal trends in soil erosion and infiltration rates were observed, values clearly differed between BLG and CLG upstream catchment areas. Furthermore, Darcy–Weisbach friction factor (f) values in the CLG upstream catchment area were higher than the corresponding BLG area. In contrast to the BLG upstream catchment area, lower ΔEu and higher soil erosion rates were observed in the CLG upstream catchment area as a result of soil disturbances. This indicated that intensive land use changes accelerate soil erosion rates in upstream catchment areas of bank gullies and increase soil sediment transport to downstream gullies. Accordingly, reducing tillage disturbances and increasing vegetation cover in upstream catchment areas of bank gullies are essential in the dry-hot valley region of Southwest China.

Physical properties (Schmidt hammer in situ rock strength; degree of weathering; orientation, spacing, width and continuity of joints, bedding planes and faults; groundwater flow) of bedrock-incised rills and gullies were ecamined at selected localities in southern Africa. The resulting data was compared to froms of erosion observed in the field to test for possible influences of rock physical properties on rill and gully development. Bedrock-incised rill erosion occurs at low RMS (Rock Mass Strength) values (40–50). Rills generally do not form where RMS values are high (> 50). Though V-shaped bedrock-incised gullies form in lithologies with a wide range of RMS values (40–69), these values exert strong control on longitudinal morphometry. Future studies should concentrate on establishing a database on properties of erosion forms to aid identification of lithological conditions (e. g. deep regolith) which are potentially susceptible to accelerated erosion. 相似文献

崩岗地貌发育的土体物理性质及其土壤侵蚀意义——以广东五华县莲塘岗崩岗为例 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
崩岗集中发育在我国广东、福建等东南7省(自治区),面积约5万km2,是华南地区土壤侵蚀最严重的区域.崩岗是水力—重力复合侵蚀交替作用的产物,也是沟谷侵蚀发展的结果.崩岗主要发育在花岗岩厚层风化壳上,崩岗土体以高黏粒、低砾石含量的粗砂土为基本特征.崩岗崩积锥土体粒径自坡顶至坡脚由粗变细,反映出坡面流水的侵蚀和搬运过程.崩岗土体可蚀性强,可蚀性因子K值平均为0.26,比花岗岩红壤地区的平均K值高0.03 ～ 0.05.崩积锥坡脚K值大于坡顶,即坡脚可蚀性大于坡顶.崩岗崩壁和崩积锥土体的平均黏粒含量为10.13％,大于5％这一泥石流形成的必要条件.崩岗流域地形陡峻,一旦遭遇强降雨,有条件转化成“泥石流”.崩岗形成的“泥石流”平均中值粒径仅为常规泥石流的1/12,砾石含量仅为1/4.因此,崩岗型泥石流(即由崩岗转化成的“泥石流”)并不是通常意义上的泥石流,是广义泥石流大类中的一个新种——泥砂流. 相似文献

2020年3月30日,西昌市经久乡发生森林大火,响水沟流域植被被林火大面积烧毁,同年雨季,响水沟流域内多条沟道暴发泥石流,其中1#、2#、3#沟毗邻居民房屋和耕地,影响较为严重。通过野外调查、遥感解译和室外试验,以响水沟1#、2#、3#沟为研究对象,分析了不同林火烈度下,渗透特征、坡面侵蚀和沟道侵蚀的差异,从而揭示响水沟火后泥石流的成灾机理。结果表明,林火是泥石流暴发的重要诱因,火后泥石流的降雨阈值会明显降低。林火干扰导致坡面土壤的渗透系数表现出不同程度的降低,林火烈度越严重的区域,渗透系数越小,降雨更大比例地转化为坡面径流参与到坡面侵蚀。随降雨次数的增多,轻度、中度、重度火烧区域的坡面土壤侵蚀深度均增加;中度、重度林火烈度的侵蚀深度差异不大,且明显高于轻度区域,说明当林火烈度达到中度时,坡面土壤便会受到较大程度的侵蚀。地形条件相似的沟道,林火烈度越严重,泥石流侵蚀能力越强,最终体现于沟道两岸崩滑体数量越多,沟道宽度和深度越大。 相似文献

This work aims to evaluate the predictive capability of three bivariate statistical models, namely information value, frequency ratio, and evidential belief functions, in gully erosion susceptibility mapping in northeastern Maysan Governorate (Ali Al-Gharbi District) in southern Iraq. The gully inventory map, consisting of 21 gullies of different sizes, was prepared based on the interpretation of remotely sensed data supported by field survey. The gully inventory data (polygon format) were randomly partitioned into two sets: 14 gullies for build and training the bivariate model, and the remaining 7 gullies for validating purposes. Twelve gully influential factors were selected based on data availability and the literature review. The selected factors were related to lithology, geomorphology, soil, land cover, and topography (primary and secondary) settings. Analysis of factor importance using information gain ratio proved that out of 12 gully influential factors, eight were of more importance in developing gullies (the average merit was greater than zero). The most important factors and the training gully inventory map were used to generate three gully erosion susceptibility maps based on the three bivariate models used. For validation, the area under the operating characteristics curves for both success and prediction rates was used. The results indicated that the highest prediction rate of 82.9% was achieved using the information value technique. All the bivariate models had prediction rates greater than 80%, and thus they were regarded as very good estimators. The final conclusion was that the bivariate models offer advanced techniques for mapping gully erosion susceptibility. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to analyze the susceptibility conditions to gully erosion phenomena in the Magazzolo River basin and to test a method that allows for driving the factors selection. The study area is one of the largest (225 km2) watershed of southern Sicily and it is mostly characterized by gentle slopes carved into clayey and evaporitic sediments, except for the northern sector where carbonatic rocks give rise to steep slopes. In order to obtain a quantitative evaluation of gully erosion susceptibility, statistical relationships between the spatial distributions of gullies affecting the area and a set of twelve environmental variables were analyzed. Stereoscopic analysis of aerial photographs dated 2000, and field surveys carried out in 2006, allowed us to map about a thousand landforms produced by linear water erosion processes, classifiable as ephemeral and permanent gullies. The linear density of the gullies, computed on each of the factors classes, was assumed as the function expressing the susceptibility level of the latter. A 40-m digital elevation model (DEM) prepared from 1:10,000-scale topographic maps was used to compute the values of nine topographic attributes (primary: slope, aspect, plan curvature, profile curvature, general curvature, tangential curvature; secondary: stream power index; topographic wetness index; LS-USLE factor); from available thematic maps and field checks three other physical attributes (lithology, soil texture, land use) were derived. For each of these variables, a 40-m grid layer was generated, reclassifying the topographic variables according to their standard deviation values. In order to evaluate the controlling role of the selected predictive variables, one-variable susceptibility models, based on the spatial relationships between each single factor and gullies, were produced and submitted to a validation procedure. The latter was carried out by evaluating the predictive performance of models trained on one half of the landform archive and tested on the other. Large differences of accuracy were verified by computing geometric indexes of the validation curves (prediction and success rate curves; ROC curves) drawn for each one-variable model; in particular, soil texture, general curvature and aspect demonstrated a weak or a null influence on the spatial distribution of gullies within the studied area, while, on the contrary, tangential curvature, stream power index and plan curvature showed high predictive skills. Hence, predictive models were produced on a multi-variable basis, by variously combining the one-variable models. The validation of the multi-variables models, which generally indicated quite satisfactory results, were used as a sensitivity analysis tool to evaluate differences in the prediction results produced by changing the set of combined physical attributes. The sensitivity analysis pointed out that by increasing the number of combined environmental variables, an improvement of the susceptibility assessment is produced; this is true with the exception of adding to the multi-variables models a variable, as slope aspect, not correlated to the target variable. The addition of this attribute produces effects on the validation curves that are not distinguishable from noise and, as a consequence, the slope aspect was excluded from the final multi-variables model used to draw the gully erosion susceptibility map of the Magazzolo River basin. In conclusion, the research showed that the validation of one-variable models can be used as a tool for selecting factors to be combined to prepare the best performing multi-variables gully erosion susceptibility model. 相似文献

Soil erosion by water is a significant problem in arid and semi-arid areas of large parts of Iran. Water erosion is one of the most effective phenomena that leads to decreasing soil productivity and pollution of water resources; especially, in the Mazayjan watershed in the southwest of Fars Province gully erosion contributes to the sediment dynamics in a significant way. Consequently, the intention of this research is to identify the different types of soil erosion processes acting in the area and to assess the process dynamics in an integrative way. Therefore, we applied GIS and satellite image analysis techniques to derive input information for the numeric models. For sheet and rill erosion the Unit Stream Power-based Erosion Deposition Model (USPED) was utilized. The spatial distribution of gully erosion was assessed using a statistical approach, which used three variables (stream power index, slope, and flow accumulation) to predict the spatial distribution of gullies in the study area. The eroded gully volumes were estimated for a 7-year period by fieldwork and Google Earth high-resolution images. Finally the gully retreat rates were integrated into the USPED model. The results show that the integration of the SPI approach to quantify gully erosion with the USPED model is a suitable method to qualitatively and quantitatively assess water erosion processes. The application of GIS and stochastic model approaches to spatialize the USPED model input yields valuable results for the prediction of soil erosion in the Mazayjan catchment. The results of this research help to develop an appropriate management of soil and water resources in the southwestern parts of Iran. 相似文献
