Simulations of accidental coal immersion     

Jaffrennou C  Giamarchi P  Cabon JY  Stephan L  Burel-Deschamps L  Bautin F  Thomas A  Dumont J  Le Floch S 《Marine pollution bulletin》2007,54(12):1932-1939

Coal is currently becoming an increasingly interesting fossil energy resource and that is the reason why its maritime transport, and hence the risk of collier accidents, increase. In this work, the environmental impact of an accidental coal immersion at sea is studied: the physicochemical effects are estimated using innovative experimental setups – a laboratory seawater canal called “polludrome” is used to evaluate the behaviour of coal particles submitted to a seawater flow, and a specifically designed tub is used to study the physicochemical consequences induced when coal is introduced into continuously renewed seawater. When coal is introduced into seawater, the most easily visible consequences are physical: fine coal particles reduce the daylight penetration up to 100% and move along with the flow, and coal chunks accumulate on the floor. Chemical effects are also measured: humic matters are dissolved from coal into seawater (up to 2 mg L⁻¹), but no release of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is evidenced. Some inorganic compounds are dissolved, among which manganese, whose concentrations can reach 1 μg L⁻¹. Fortunately, the results show that the environmental impact of this type of accident would remain limited.  相似文献   

Geoacoustic characterization of a range-dependent ocean environment using towed array data     

Fallat  M.R. Nielsen  P.L. Dosso  S.E. Siderius  M. 《Oceanic Engineering, IEEE Journal of》2005,30(1):198-206

This paper examines geoacoustic inversion over a range-dependent multiple-layer seabed using a towed acoustic source and towed horizontal array. The approach is based on combining the results of a series of short-range, range-independent inversions to form a range-dependent representation of the environment. The data were collected in the Strait of Sicily during the MAPEX 2000 experiment. Issues such as the resolvability of multilayer structure and the sensitivity of various geoacoustic parameters are investigated by inversion of simulated data and by comparison of the MAPEX 2000 inversion results to a high-resolution seismic profile and to sediment core measurements. It appears that two, and in some cases possibly three, sediment layers can be resolved.  相似文献   

Geochemical diversity in submarine HIMU basalts from Austral Islands, French Polynesia

We present the first report of geochemical data for submarine basalts collected by a manned submersible from Rurutu, Tubuai, and Raivavae in the Austral Islands in the South Pacific, where subaerial basalts exhibit HIMU isotopic signatures with highly radiogenic Pb isotopic compositions. With the exception of one sample from Tubuai, the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages of the submarine basalts show no significant age gaps between the submarine and subaerial basalts, and the major element compositions are indistinguishable at each island. However, the variations in Pb, Sr, Nd, and Hf isotopic compositions in the submarine basalts are much larger than those previously reported in subaerial basalts. The submarine basalts with less-radiogenic Pb and radiogenic Nd and Hf isotopic compositions show systematically lower concentrations in highly incompatible elements than the typical HIMU basalts. These geochemical variations are best explained by a two-component mixing process in which the depleted asthenospheric mantle was entrained by the mantle plume from the HIMU reservoir during its upwelling, and the melts from the HIMU reservoir and depleted asthenospheric mantle were then mixed in various proportions. The present and compiled data demonstrate that the HIMU reservoir has a uniquely low ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf decoupled from ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, suggesting that it was derived from an ancient subducted slab. Moreover, the Nd/Hf ratios of the HIMU basalts and curvilinear Nd–Hf isotopic mixing trend require higher Nd/Hf ratios for the melt from the HIMU reservoir than that from the depleted mantle component. Such elevated Nd/Hf ratios could reflect source enrichment by a subducted slab during reservoir formation.  相似文献   

High‐Mg# Olivine,Clinopyroxene and Orthopyroxene Reference Materials for In Situ Oxygen Isotope Determination     

Guo‐Qiang Tang  Ben‐Xun Su  Qiu‐Li Li  Xiao‐Ping Xia  Jie‐Jun Jing  Lian‐Jun Feng  Laure Martin  Qing Yang  Xian‐Hua Li 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2019,43(4):585-593

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) requires matrix‐matched reference materials to calibrate mass fractionation during oxygen isotope measurement. Over one thousand SIMS oxygen isotope measurements were conducted on eleven natural mineral samples (five olivines, three clinopyroxenes and three orthopyroxenes) in nineteen sessions using CAMECA IMS 1280 SIMS instruments to evaluate their potential as SIMS reference materials. The obtained results reveal oxygen isotope homogeneity of these samples. No matrix effect was measured for the same variety of mineral samples with limited Mg‐number variations (89.6–94.2, 90–91.9 and 90.1–92.1 for olivine, clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene, respectively). The recommended oxygen isotope compositions of these samples were determined using laser fluorination. These samples are therefore suitable to be used as reference materials for in situ oxygen isotope microanalysis.  相似文献   

Electromagnetic analogue model measurements and finite-difference numerical calculations of the response of a conducting slab to three different source fields     

R.D. Hibbs  F.W. Jones  V. Ramaswamy  H.W. Dosso 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1978,16(4):327-340

This work compares experimental analogue model measurements and finite-difference numerical calculations of the electric and magnetic fields for a highly conducting slab embedded in a poorly conducting host earth for three different source field configurations. Measurements and calculations were carried out for a uniform source, a sheet current source with a y exp(?ay) current intensity distribution, and a horizontal magnetic dipole source. The results indicate reasonable agreement with some exceptions between the analogue and numerical methods. The source field is found to have an important effect on the field anomalies at the interface of the highly conducting slab and the poorly conducting host medium.  相似文献   

Electromagnetic induction in the British Isles region: analogue model and field station results     

W. Nienaber  H.W. Dosso  V.R.S. Hutton 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1981,27(2):122-132

The results of a laboratory electromagnetic analogue model study, which employs a horizontal inducing field over a simple model of the British Isles region, delineate the location and frequency dependence of the major coast effect induction anomalies of the Scotland region. Contours of amplitudes, amplitude ratios, and in-phase and quadrature parts of the model field measurements are presented. The model vertical magnetic fields for two orthogonal source field polarizations and field station values for two hypothetical events for corresponding polarizations are compared.While major discrepancies occur between model and field H_z amplitudes, the H_z gradients across Scotland, which can be attributed to the coast-effect, are comparable in value, although sometimes reversed in sign. Superimposed on this coast-effect, the field data indicate the existence of current concentrations associated with the Great Glen and the Southern Uplands faults and possibly also of currents within the Scottish mainland near the east and west coasts.  相似文献   

A comparison of numerical,analogue model,and field-station vertical magnetic-fields for the Vancouver Island region     

V. Ramaswamy  F.W. Jones  H.W. Dosso  W. Nienaber 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1980,22(1):60-67

Vertical magnetic fields for a three-dimensional numerical model, for a laboratory-analogue model, and from field stations for the Vancouver Island region of British Columbia, Canada, are compared. The numerical results are obtained using a three-dimensional finite-difference numerical technique employing a 25 × 25 × 25 mesh of grid points for a simplified mathematical model of the Vancouver Island region. The calculations are carried out for a source frequency of 0.004 Hz. The analogue model results for four traverses over the Island model and the field station values (obtained from transfer function analysis) for ten locations are those discussed previously by Nienaber et al. (1979a, b). General agreement exists between the numerical, analogue, and field station data, and comparison of results between these methods is important in three-dimensional electromagnetic induction studies of complex geomagnetic induction problems.  相似文献   

An analogue model study of electromagnetic induction for cape and bay coastlines     

G.H. Chan  H.W. Dosso  L.K. Law 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1981,25(2):167-176

The electric and magnetic field variations across bay and cape coastlines are determined from scaled laboratory analogue models. The effect on the field response of such features along an otherwise straight coastline is limited to a distance approximately equal to the dimensions (diameter of the bay or cape) of the irregularity. For the E-polarization of the source field the perturbations in H_z and H_y are more confined, mainly to the immediate region of the bay or cape. The coast effect H_z/H_y for this polarization, and variations with a 4.2 min. period, is approximately a factor of two larger for the cape than for the bay, while the straight coastline H_z/H_y is roughly mid-way between the cape and bay values. For H-polarization the coast effect is again approximately a factor of two larger for the cape than for the bay, but both values are larger than the value for a straight coastline. The response of the various field components to the bay and cape features is decreased at longer periods, and as a measure, the coast effect is approximately a factor of 1.2 greater for the cape than for the bay for a 42 min. period as compared with the factor of 2 for a 4.2 min. period. The bay and cape deflect the induced currents flowing in the ocean and modify the currents diffusing into the land.This study demonstrates that data from coastal sites may be unreliable for correcting magnetic surveys or for analyses of short period geomagnetic source-field variations.  相似文献   

An analogue model study of electromagnetic induction for island-continent ocean channels     

W. Nienaber  H.W. Dosso  L.K. Law  F.W. Jones  V. Ramaswamy 《Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors》1976,13(3):169-183

The behaviour of time-varying electromagnetic fields near an island situated in a shallow ocean with a nearby continent is investigated using a scaled analogue model. To study the effect of the proximity of the continent, various island-continent distances are treated. The presence of the continent tends to augment enhancements of the field components at the island coastlines for all channel widths studied, while the island affects the enhancements of the fields over the continental coastline only for very narrow channel widths (half the island width or less), and does not affect the horizontal to vertical magnetic field ratio at the coastline at all. To examine the effect of the shape of the island, square and circular island models are used. For the frequencies studied, the island shape has little effect on the fields over the continental coastline, but over the island, the spatial variation of the fields is considerably less for the circular island than for the square island.  相似文献
