Open boundary value problems in ocean dynamics by finite elements     

Toyoki Tanaka  Yoshio Ono  Toshikazu Ishise 《Advances in water resources》1982,5(1):21-28

This paper presents recent results of application of the finite element models to wave overtopping and wave run-up problems in ocean dynamics. Open boundaries are prescribed as natural boundary condition obtained from the continuity equation of the Galerkin finite element formulation. The numerical results are, in general, reasonably good agreements with the histrical field data.  相似文献

An atomic level study of rhenium and radiogenic osmium in molybdenite   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Local atomic structures of Re and radiogenic Os in molybdenite from the Onganja mine, Namibia, were examined using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). Rhenium L_III-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) show that the oxidation state of Re, the interatomic distances between Re and the neighboring atoms, and the coordination number of Re to S are very similar to those of Mo in molybdenite. The results confirm that Re is present as Re(IV) in the Mo site in molybdenite.Measurement of L_III-edge XANES and EXAFS of a minor concentration (8.55 ppm) of radiogenic Os was accomplished in fluorescence mode by removing the interfering X-rays from Re and other elements using a crystal analyzer system. The data indicate that the oxidation state of radiogenic Os is Os(III) and Os(IV) and clearly different from Os(II) in natural sulfide minerals, such as OsS₂ (erlichmanite). XANES data also suggest that radiogenic Os does not form a secondary Os phase, such as OsS₂ or Os metal, in molybdenite.EXAFS of radiogenic Os was successfully simulated assuming that Os is present in the Mo site in molybdenite. The data are consistent with the XANES data; Os does not form Os phases in molybdenite. The EXAFS simulation showed that the interatomic distance between Os and S is 2.27 Å, which is 0.12 Å smaller than the distances of Re-S and Mo-S (2.39 Å) in molybdenite. Similar valences and ionic sizes of Re and Mo in molybdenite support the fact that large amounts of Re can be incorporated into the Mo site as has been observed in previous studies, whereas the different properties of Os compared to Mo and Re suggested here support much lower abundance of common Os in molybdenite. This makes molybdenite an ideal mineral for the Re-Os geochronometer as shown in many studies. However, the shorter distance between radiogenic Os and S compared to those of Re-S and Mo-S in molybdenite suggests that the radiogenic Os has a smaller ionic size than Re(IV) and Mo(IV). Furthermore, Os may be partly present as Os(III). Smaller and lower charge Os can diffuse faster than larger and higher charge Re in molybdenite at a given set of conditions. Hence, our study provides an atomic-level explanation for the high mobility of Os compared to Re, which has been suggested by earlier workers using laser ablation ICP-MS.  相似文献   

Occurrence of arsenic (V) in forearc mantle serpentinites based on X-ray absorption spectroscopy study     

Keiko Hattori  Yoshio Takahashi  Bo Johanson 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2005,69(23):5585-5596

We examined As concentration, mineralogical site, and oxidation state in the serpentinites associated with the Tso Morari eclogitic rocks in the Indus suture zone, northwest Himalaya, to examine how highly fluid-soluble elements like As are transferred from slabs to arc magmas in subduction zones. The serpentinite samples represent hydrated peridotites at the base of the mantle wedge beneath Eurasia, and were exhumed from a depth of ∼100 km during subduction of the Indian continental margin. The bulk serpentinite samples contain total As concentrations ranging from 6 to 275 ppm. Arsenic in the samples is most likely present with magnetite and antigorite, since electron probe analysis yielded up to 90 ppm As in these minerals. X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectra indicate that As in serpentinites is mostly As(V) and that the neighboring atoms of As are O, although there are minute grains of sulfides and arsenides. The ratio of As(V) to total As is greater in samples with higher As contents, suggesting that the major source of As was oxidized As(V), introduced to the mantle wedge. Arsenic(V), originally adsorbed on Fe-oxides in slabs and overlying sediments, was most likely liberated during their subduction and incorporated subsequently in the overlying mantle wedge. Our data constrain the introduction of As into the mantle wedge at relatively shallow levels, much shallower than 25 km. Arsenic incorporated in the serpentinites was transported to deeper levels by mantle flow downward along the subduction zone, to be subsequently exhumed together with eclogitic rocks.  相似文献

Crustal structure and transform margin development south of Svalbard based on ocean bottom seismometer data     

Asbjrn Johan Breivik  Rolf Mjelde  Paul Grogan  Hideki Shimamura  Yoshio Murai  Yuichi Nishimura 《Tectonophysics》2003,369(1-2):37-70

The Barents Sea is located in the northwestern corner of the Eurasian continent, where the crustal terrain was assembled in the Caledonian orogeny during Late Ordovician and Silurian times. The western Barents Sea margin developed primarily as a transform margin during the early Tertiary. In the northwestern part south of Svalbard, multichannel reflection seismic lines have poor resolution below the Permian sequence, and the early post-orogenic development is not well known here. In 1998, an ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) survey was collected southwest to southeast of the Svalbard archipelago. One profile was shot across the continental transform margin south of Svalbard, which is presented here. P-wave modeling of the OBS profile indicates a Caledonian suture in the continental basement south of Svalbard, also proposed previously based on a deep seismic reflection line coincident with the OBS profile. The suture zone is associated with a small crustal root and westward dipping mantle reflectivity, and it marks a boundary between two different crystalline basement terrains. The western terrain has low (6.2–6.45 km s⁻¹) P-wave velocities, while the eastern has higher (6.3–6.9 km s⁻¹) velocities. Gravity modeling agrees with this, as an increased density is needed in the eastern block. The S-wave data predict a quartz-rich lithology compatible with felsic gneiss to granite within and west of the suture zone, and an intermediate lithological composition to the east. A geological model assuming westward dipping Caledonian subduction and collision can explain the missing lower crust in the western block by subduction erosion of the lower crust, as well as the observed structuring. Due to the transform margin setting, the tectonic thinning of the continental block during opening of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea is restricted to the outer 35 km of the continental block, and the continent–ocean boundary (COB) can be located to within 5 km in our data. Distinct from the outer high commonly observed on transform margins, the upper part of the continental crust at the margin is dominated by two large, rotated down-faulted blocks with throws of 2–3 km on each fault, apparently formed during the transform margin development. Analysis of the gravity field shows that these faults probably merge to one single fault to the south of our profile, and that the downfaulting dominates the whole margin segment from Spitsbergen to Bjørnøya. South of Bjørnøya, the faulting leaves the continental margin to terminate as a graben 75 km south of the island. Adjacent to the continental margin, there is no clear oceanic layer 2 seismic signature. However, the top basement velocity of 6.55 km s⁻¹ is significantly lower than the high (7 km s⁻¹) velocity reported earlier from expanding spread profiles (ESPs), and we interpret the velocity structure of the oceanic crust to be a result of a development induced by the 7–8-km-thick sedimentary overburden.  相似文献   

Study of the structure of silica film by infrared spectroscopy and electron diffraction analyses     

Tomonari Morioka  Seiji Kimura  Noritoshi Tsuda  Chihiro Kaito  Yoshio Saito  & Chiyoe Koike 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》1998,299(1):78-82

Amorphous silicon oxide films have been studied on the basis of electron diffraction (ED) analyses and infrared (IR) spectroscopy in order to elucidate the relationship between the structures. After the heat treatment of the film in air at 300 and 500°C, the ED pattern showed halo rings, and the IR spectra clearly changed. Intensity analysis of the ED pattern provided evidence for the structural change of the amorphous film. It was concluded that the spectral changes in the ranges of 9.2–10.2, 12.5–13.5 and 19.5–22.5 μm were the result of phase transitions of the microcrystallites of α-cristobalite to β-cristobalite, and α- or β-quartz. Astrophysical implications have been discussed.  相似文献   

The rate of oxidation of ferrous iron in seawater and the partition of elements between iron oxides and seawater     

Yoshio Sato 《Journal of Oceanography》1989,45(4):270-278

At the Minamichita Beach Land (Mihama-cho, Aichi, Japan), seawater is pumped up from underground and is supplied to aquaria. The underground seawater containsca. 2 ppm of Fe (II), 0.1 ppm of Mn (II) and a little dissolved oxygen. Iron oxide is formed in the seawater when aerated. The oxidation rate of Fe (II) was measured to be 1.4×10¹⁴ mol^–3 l ³ min^–1, which is comparable to the lowest values in the literature. The slow rate of Fe (II) oxidation obtained here can be attributed to the presence of organically bound iron in the seawater. The distribution coefficient of cations between seawater and iron oxide phase was in the order of Cu>Ni>Co>Cd>Mn, which is consistent with that predicted from their hydrolysis constants. The adsorption affinity sequence of oxyanions was phosphate >vanadate> molybdate. The difference in phosphate from the prediction of the adsorption theory was attributed to the formation of ferriphosphate on the oxide surface. On the basis of these data, the limitation and usefulness in the application of the distribution coefficients to marine environments were discussed.  相似文献   

Errors in sampling procedure for the determination of dissolved oxygen by Winkler method     

Yoshio Horibe  Yukio Kodama  Koji Shigehara 《Journal of Oceanography》1972,28(5):203-206

Sources of systematic error in the sampling procedure by Winkler method were examined. In the laboratory experiment, the dissolution of atmospheric oxygen into oxygenfree sea water during sampling amounts to 0.022 ml/l, and the effect of dissolved oxygen in sea water remaining in oxygen bottle is 0.019 ml/l. The effect of reagents added amounts to 0.017 ml/l. In the sampling procedures aboard, the effect of dissolution became bigger, and the table is presented for the correction to the reported value of dissolved oxygen measured by the “Manual of Oceanographic Observation”. The corrected value of dissolved oxygen in the routine analysis may not be correct within 0.02 ml/l.  相似文献
