This paper deals with the development of a Matlab-Simulink model of a marine current turbine system through the modeling of the resource and the rotor. The simulation model has two purposes: performances and dynamic loads evaluation in different operating conditions and control system development for turbine operation based on pitch and speed control. In this case, it is necessary to find a compromise between the simulation model accuracy and the control-loop computational speed. The blade element momentum (BEM) approach is then used for the turbine modeling. As the developed simulation model is intended to be used as a sizing and site evaluation tool for current turbine installations, it has been applied to evaluate the extractable power from the Raz de Sein (Brittany, France). Indeed, tidal current data from the Raz de Sein are used to run the simulation model over various flow regimes and yield the power capture with time.  相似文献   

On the thermal instability of a nonuniformly rotating fluid layer heated from below     

El Mekki  O.M. 《Solar physics》2001,202(1):1-9

The thermal instability both as stationary convection and overstability of a nonuniformly rotating fluid layer of vertical extent is considered. It is shown that in both types of instability the effect of the variation of the rate of rotation is to introduce a new branch to the marginal instability curves of uniform rotation which departs from them towards a zero of the Rayleigh number as the horizontal wavenumber approaches zero. The relevance to the solar interior is discussed.  相似文献

R?le du brassage et du stockage magmatique dans l’homogénéisation des granito?des calco-alcalins: Cas du pluton composite de Za?r (Maroc central)     

Jamila Ha?meur et Iz-Eddine El Amrani El Hassani 《Eclogae Geologicae Helvetiae》2005,98(2):219-236

Resume.  Le pluton calco-alcalin de Za?r est composé de trois principaux faciès pétrographiques répartis en deux unités granitiques imbriquées. Ces faciès, de différents degrés d’hybridation et de différenciation, résultent de mélanges magmatiques entre des magmas basiques mantelliques de type ?HAB? (basalte hyperalumineux) et un magma anatectique issu de la fusion partielle de matériaux crustaux (métapélites ou métagrauwackes). La répartition des faciès granitiques de Za?r peut s’expliquer selon un modèle pétrogénétique de type ?MASH? (melting-assimilation-storage-homogenization) où des magmas hybrides seraient formés suivant différentes proportions de mélanges magmatiques acide-basique. Ces magmas auraient subides conditions d’ascension spécifiques et seraient mis en place sous forme de 3 grandes injections successives:

1)	Une injection précoce de magma fortement hybride donne la granodiorite-tonalite du SW, assez faiblement homogénéisée et à grands xénolites et enclaves microgrenues mafiques (EMM) dont les compositions pétrographiques, chimiques et isotopiques initiales sont bien préservées
2)	Une injection, plus tardive et sur une longue distance, de magma relativement plus différencié, donne le monzogranite-granodiorite du NE, assez bien homogénéisé et riche en petites EMM dont les compositions ont été rééquilibrées avec celles du granite h?te
3)	Une injection très tardive après un stockage de quelques millions d’années et un important brassage magmatique ayant permis un mélange magmatique complet (mixing) des deux composants acide et basique. Cela donne le leucogranite central, très différencié et parfaitement homogène

Étude de la variation spatio-temporelle des paramètres physico-chimiques caractérisant la qualité des eaux d'une lagune côtière et ses zonations écologiques : cas de Moulay Bousselham,Maroc

Our interest is related to the hydrological characteristics of the Moulay Bousselham lagoon. Water samples were taken monthly from July 2001 to June 2002 in 15 stations distributed along the lagoon. The various measured hydrological parameters (temperature, salinity, suspended matter, chlorophyll a) showed significant monthly variations ($p<0.001$), whereas spatially among all sampled stations, only the salinity showed significant variations. The variability analysis approached by the analysis of the normalized principal components combined with discriminate analysis showed very small inter-stations variability. Its percentage is 11% and 9% of the total variance during high and low tide, respectively. To cite this article: H. Labbardi et al., C. R. Geoscience 337 (2005).  相似文献   

Environmental impacts of Baltim and Ras El Bar shore-parallel breakwater systems on the Nile delta littoral zone,Egypt     

O.?E.?FrihyEmail author  M.?M.?El Banna  A.?I.?El Kolfat 《Environmental Geology》2004,45(3):381-390

This study evaluates the impacts resulting from the construction of two large-scale detached breakwater systems on the Nile delta coast of Egypt at Baltim and Ras El Bar beaches (~18.3 km shoreline length). The two protective systems were installed in a water depth of between 3 and 4 m and consist of 17 units in total (each ~250 m long). A comprehensive monitoring program spanning the years 1990 to 2002 was implemented and included beach-nearshore profiles, grain size distribution of seabed sand and information related to the background coastal processes. Evaluation of these systems concentrates on the physical impacts on coastal morphodynamics, mitigation and their design implications. The beach and nearshore sedimentation (erosion/accretion patterns) and grain texture of seabed sediment in the study areas have been substantially disrupted due to the interruption of longshore transport by the shore-parallel detached breakwaters. Rate of shoreline and seabed changes as well as alongshore sediment volume have been substantially affected, resulting in accretion in the breakwater landward sides (tombolo or salient) followed by downdrift erosion. The preconstruction beach erosion at Baltim (–5 m/year) and at Ras El Bar (–6 m/year) has been replaced, respectively, by the formation of sand tombolo (35 m/year) and salient (9 m/year). On the other hand, beach erosion has been substantially increased in the downdrift sides of these protective systems, being –20 m/year at Baltim and –9 m/year at Ras El Bar. Further seaward, the two protective systems at Baltim and Ras El Bar have accumulated seabed sand at maximum rates of 30 and 20 cm/year and associated with downdrift erosion of –45 and –20 cm/year, respectively. Strong gyres and eddies formed in the breakwater gabs have drastically affected swimmers and subsequently caused a significant number of drownings each summer, averaging 35 and 67 victims/year at Baltim and Ras El Bar beaches, respectively. This study provides baseline information needed to help implement mitigation measures for these breakwater systems.  相似文献   

Exchange of light rare earths for Ca in apatite     

Abderrahmane Iqdari  Bruce Velde  Noureddine Benalioulhaj  Saint-Clair Dujon  Nacer El Yamine 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2003,335(4):381-390

Diffusion experiments were carried out on natural apatite crystals that were immersed in molten light rare earth element (REE) chloride salt at temperatures between 900 and 1150 °C for periods up to 35 days. Electron microprobe analysis of the crystals showed that light REEs replaced Ca according to electronic balance, i.e. $\text{2}\text{REE}{}^{\mathrm{3+}}$ for $\text{3}\text{Ca}{}^{\mathrm{2+}}$. These diffusion profiles indicate that a maximum amount of substitution in the structure occurs when two of the ten Ca ions in apatite are replaced by the REE diffusing elements. Anisotropic diffusion is observed between a and c crystallographic directions. Comparison of maximum distance indicates that the larger ions move more easily in the apatite structure. We conclude that the light REEs diffuse within the channel structures of the mineral, and that this diffusion is controlled by the substitution type of elements in the calcium sites.

FeO-rich rims and veins in Allende forsterite: Evidence for high temperature condensation at oxidizing conditions     

S. Weinbruch  H. Palme  W. F. Müller  A. El Goresy 《Meteoritics & planetary science》1990,25(2):115-125

Abstract— Forsteritic olivine grains in the Allende meteorite are commonly rimmed by FeO-rich olivine. New evidence is presented in this paper that the fayalitic rims formed by condensation from a gas and not by thermal equilibration of forsterite with FeO-rich metal or FeO-rich olivine in the interior of a parent body. A similar origin is inferred for fayalitic veins within forsterite crystals. A good correlation of FeO with MnO was observed along profiles from forsteritic cores to fayalite-rich rims, excluding oxidation of metal as a source of rim FeO. The fayalite content of the rim is generally lower than that of the adjacent matrix olivines excluding formation of FeO-rich rims by equilibration with present matrix. This is also supported by systematic differences in Cr between rim and matrix olivines. Chromites, associated with FeO-rich olivine, were found at the boundary between forsterite and fayalite-rich rim, within the rim itself and in fayalitic veins. Condensation of chromite from a gas phase is likely for the latter two occurrences since no other suitable source of Cr is available. Chromite at the forsterite-fayalite interface was formed by diffusion of Cr from forsterite. Increasingly oxidizing conditions, apparently enabled formation of chromite. The steep compositional gradient between forsterite and fayalite provides severe constraints on the thermal history of forsterite grains. The width of oxidized zones (halos) around metal inclusions in the interior of forsterite grains are not compatible with this steep gradient. Their development requires longer diffusion times than would be allowed by the rims, indicating that these forsterite grains must have had an independent history of oxidation prior to formation of the rim. Condensation calculations indicate that FeO-rich olivine can be formed by condensation from a gas with enhanced oxygen fugacity. Increasing the oxygen fugacity would provide conditions allowing the thermodynamic stability of chromite. High temperatures and oxidizing conditions must have prevailed for some time in that part of the solar nebula where the Allende meteorite formed.  相似文献

Internal atmospheric hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves in zonal wind-magnetic shears     

O. M. El Mekki 《Solar physics》1982,75(1-2):351-360

Internal atmospheric hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves propagating through a latitudinally sheared zonal flow and a zonal magnetic field sheared both latitudinally and vertically are studied.It is shown that the waves possess four critical latitudes. At two of them the waves propagate on one side only with their energy and momentum fluxes differing by an additive factor on the two sides of the critical latitude, whereas at the other two they are capable of propagating on both sides and exhibit the value effect behaviour, with their energy and momentum fluxes attenuated by an exponential factor as they cross the critical latitude.  相似文献
