The penetration of rigid objects such as piles and penetrometers into soils creates a zone of soil disturbance around them. The extent of this disturbed zone influences the resistance of the moving rigid body. This paper presents a theoretical framework to analyze the resistance in the disturbed zone created by a shaft penetrating a clay soil. The soil is modeled as a viscous material after it reaches failure [critical state (CS)]. The results of this analysis show that the viscous drag stress component on the shaft surface is influenced by the size of disturbed zone that has reached CS around the shaft, the shear viscosity of the soil and the velocity profile (or strain rate) in the CS zone around the shaft. The size of CS zone, the velocity profile and the viscosity of soil are interdependent. Large variation in viscous drag occurs when the size of the CS soil zone is less than four times the shaft’s radius. Limiting drag occurs when the size of the CS soil zone exceeds six times the shaft’s radius. The theoretical velocity distribution of the movement of soil in the CS zone shows that the soil is dragged along with shaft in the near field (close to the shaft surface) and moves upwards in the far field. 相似文献

Most tropical cyclones have very few observations in their vicinity. Hence either they go undetected in standard analyses
or are analyzed very poorly, with ill defined centres and locations. Such initial errors obviously have major impact on the
forecast of cyclone tracks using numerical models. One way of overcoming the above difficulty is to remove the weak initial
vortex and replace it with a synthetic vortex (with the correct size, intensity and location) in the initial analysis. The
objective of this study is to investigate the impact of introducing NCAR–AFWA synthetic vortex scheme in the regional model
MM5 on the simulation of a tropical cyclone formed over the Arabian Sea during November 2003. Two sets of numerical experiments
are conducted in this study. While the first set utilizes the NCEP reanalysis as the initial and lateral boundary conditions,
the second set utilizes the NCAR–AFWA synthetic vortex scheme. The results of the two sets of MM5 simulations are compared
with one another as well as with the observations and the NCEP reanalysis. It is found that inclusion of the synthetic vortex
has resulted in improvements in the simulation of wind asymmetries, warm temperature anomalies, stronger vertical velocity
fields and consequently in the overall structure of the tropical cyclone. The time series of the minimum sea level pressure
and maximum wind speed reveal that the model simulations are closer to observations when synthetic vortex was introduced in
the model. The central minimum pressure reduces by 17 hPa while the maximum wind speed associated with the tropical cyclone
enhances by 17 m s −1 with the introduction of the synthetic vortex. While the lowest central pressure estimated from the satellite image is 988 hPa,
the corresponding value in the synthetic vortex simulated cyclone is 993 hPa. Improvements in the overall structure and initial
location of the center of the system have contributed to considerable reduction in the vector track prediction errors ie.
642 km in 24 h, 788 km in 48 h and 1145 km in 72 h. Further, simulation with the synthetic vortex shows realistic spatial
distribution of the precipitation associated with the tropical cyclone. 相似文献

The tropical cyclones form over the oceanic regions where conventional meteorological observations are not available. This
contributes to a poor initial analysis of the cyclonic vortex and hence inadequate forecast. One way of overcoming the above
problem is to modify the initial analysis by replacing the weak and ill-defined vortex in the initial analysis with a synthetic
vortex having the correct size and intensity at the correct location. In this study we are investigating the effect of inclusion
of a synthetic vortex based on Rankine as well as on Holland wind profiles, using NCAR-AFWA bogussing scheme for the prediction
of four tropical cyclones, which formed over the Bay of Bengal during November 2002 and 2005, December 2005 and over the Arabian
Sea during May 2004, using the MM5 model. Two numerical experiments are designed in this study for each of the above four
cyclones. In the first experiment the model is integrated with a synthetic vortex based on Rankine wind profile while in the
second experiment we utilize the Holland wind profile. For the November 2002 cyclone, in both the experiments the model is
integrated from 10 November 2002 18 UTC to 12 November, 2002 12 UTC with the synthetic vortex inserted at the initial time.
The results of the study for the November 2002 cyclone show that the model simulation with the Holland vortex has produced
a stronger cyclone in terms of minimum sea-level pressure and maximum wind speed. Also, the results for the November 2002
cyclone with the Holland vortex showed a better longitudinal height section of the horizontal wind speed across the center
of the cyclone. The track error of the cyclone for the November 2002 cyclone is less in the model simulation with the Holland
vortex at the initial time and at 24 hours of forecast. The results for the November 2002 cyclone with the Rankine vortex
showed greater vertical wind speed as compared to the Holland vortex. However, for the November 2002 cyclone there were no
significant differences in the spatial distribution of precipitation for both the experiments. In order to provide an adequate
number of case studies for a good statistical sample, the present study is extended for three additional cyclones over the
Indian region. All four cyclones studied here show that the Holland vortex has produced a stronger cyclone in terms of the
minimum sea-level pressure and maximum wind speed. The Holland vortex showed a better vertical structure of wind speed in
the longitudinal height section at 24 hours of forecast for the November 2005 cyclone while the structure was better for the
Rankine vortex for the remaining two cyclones. There were no significant differences in the spatial distribution of precipitation
for the two experiments corresponding to all four cyclones. Some statistical results pertaining to all four cyclones are provided
such as the average track error as well as the average difference between the observed and the model minimum sea-level pressure
and the maximum wind speed. The statistical results corresponding to the average of all the four cyclones are at only a slight
variance with the results corresponding to the November 2002 cyclone. 相似文献

The selected study area is a coastal watershed which receives high rainfall in the monsoon season. During this period, most of the water input to the watershed drains to the Arabian Sea without any adequate use due to the rugged topography of the watershed. Hence, an attempt has been made to assess the physical properties specifically morphometric parameters of the Gad watershed using geoinformatics techniques along with field evidence for understanding the relationship between fluvial landforms and hydro-physical parameters in the region. Morphometric parameters have been analyzed and integrated with physical parameters like topography, rainfall, soil, land use–land cover, geology, and geomorphology for evaluating the potential water resource availability in the Gad watershed. The results of the study have shown that there is high surface water availability in the watershed with very low water retaining capacity, mainly in the upper region of the watershed due to presence of basaltic bedrock and steep slopes. Based on this work, a water resource management plan has been suggested at a subwatershed level which established on the physical properties and morphological characteristics of the study area. 相似文献

Vizianagaram–Srikakulam coastal shoreline consisting of beaches, mangrove swamps, tidal channel and mudflats is one of the vulnerable coasts in Andhra Pradesh, India. Five site-specific parameters, namely rate of geomorphology, coastal elevation, coastal slope, shoreline change and mean significant wave height, were chosen for constructing coastal vulnerability index and assessing coastal landscape vulnerability. The findings revealed a shift of 2.5 km in shoreline towards the land surface because of constant erosion and that of 1.82 km towards the sea due to accretion during 1997–2017. The rate of high erosion was found in zones IV and V, and high accretion was found in zones II and III. Coastal vulnerability index analysis revealed constant erosion along shoreline and sea level rise in the study area. Most of the coast in zone V has recorded very high vulnerability due to erosion, high slope, significant wave height and sea level rise. Erosion and accretion, significant wave height, sea level rise and slope are attributed to high vulnerability in zones III and IV. Zone II recorded moderate vulnerability. Relatively lower slope, mean sea wave height and sea level rise have made this zone moderately vulnerable. Very low vulnerability was found in zone I, and low vulnerability was recorded in zone II. Accretion, low slope and low sea level rise were found to be causative factors of lower vulnerability. Thus, zones III, IV and V should be accorded higher priorities for coastal management. The findings can be helpful in coastal land planning and management and preparing emergency plans of the coastal ecosystems. 相似文献

A scheme called National Food Security Mission was launched by Government of India in 2007 for wheat, rice and pulses crops. At the request of Ministry of Agriculture for monitoring intensification of pulses a project called Pulses Intensification was taken up in Rabi season 2012–2013. Reliable statistics using advanced methods is very important for variety of pulse crops. Remotely sensed data can help in pre-harvest area estimation of pulse crops. Pulses in India are grown as partly scattered and partly contiguous crop. Growth in scattered areas and poor vegetation canopy of some of the pulse crops poses a challenge in its identification and discrimination using remotely sensed data. National Inventory of Rabi pulse crops in major growing regions of northern and southern parts of India was attempted. Multi-date AWiFS data and multi-date NDVI products of AWiFS of Rabi season 2014–2015 were used to study spectral-temporal behavior of pulse crops. Pulse crops accuracies of more than 95 % was observed in contiguous areas and 50–80.77 % in scattered regions. All India area estimate of Rabi pulses for the year 2014–2015 was 8963.327 ‘000 ha. 相似文献
