Effective medium approximations for the frequency-dependent and complex-valued effective stiffness tensors of cracked/porous rocks with multiple solid constituents are developed on the basis of the T-matrix approach (based on integral equation methods for quasi-static composites), the elastic–viscoelastic correspondence principle, and a unified treatment of the local and global flow mechanisms, which is consistent with the principle of fluid mass conservation. The main advantage of using the T-matrix approach, rather than the first-order approach of Eshelby or the second-order approach of Hudson, is that it produces physically plausible results even when the volume concentrations of inclusions or cavities are no longer small. The new formulae, which operates with an arbitrary homogeneous (anisotropic) reference medium and contains terms of all order in the volume concentrations of solid particles and communicating cavities, take explicitly account of inclusion shape and spatial distribution independently. We show analytically that an expansion of the T-matrix formulae to first order in the volume concentration of cavities (in agreement with the dilute estimate of Eshelby) has the correct dependence on the properties of the saturating fluid, in the sense that it is consistent with the Brown–Korringa relation, when the frequency is sufficiently low. We present numerical results for the (anisotropic) effective viscoelastic properties of a cracked permeable medium with finite storage porosity, indicating that the complete T-matrix formulae (including the higher-order terms) are generally consistent with the Brown–Korringa relation, at least if we assume the spatial distribution of cavities to be the same for all cavity pairs. We have found an efficient way to treat statistical correlations in the shapes and orientations of the communicating cavities, and also obtained a reasonable match between theoretical predictions (based on a dual porosity model for quartz–clay mixtures, involving relatively flat clay-related pores and more rounded quartz-related pores) and laboratory results for the ultrasonic velocity and attenuation spectra of a suite of typical reservoir rocks.  相似文献   

Cooling of the Sverdrup Basin during Tertiary basin inversion: implications for hydrocarbon exploration   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

ABSTRACT The regional thermal history of the north‐eastern Sverdrup Basin, Canadian Arctic Archipelago, has been assessed using apatite fission‐track thermochronology and vitrinite reflectance data. Fission‐track data for 27 samples from six wells through the Mesozoic section on Axel Heiberg and Ellesmere Islands reveal significant Palaeocene cooling associated with basin inversion during the Eurekan Orogeny. Fission‐track data for 29 outcrop samples, ranging in stratigraphic age from Cambrian to Tertiary, also reveal significant Palaeocene cooling. Vitrinite reflectance data from carbonaceous shales and coal seams in well and outcrop samples are consistent with these conclusions. The degree of Palaeocene cooling observed is greatest for well and outcrop samples in the cores of anticlines or the hanging walls of thrust faults, such as the Fosheim anticline, and faults, such as the Lake Hazen fault system, and the East Cape and Vesle Fiord thrust faults. Palaeocene cooling is largely attributed to the denudation of structures during the Eurekan Orogeny. At one locality on north‐western Ellesmere Island, which is on the northern flank of the Sverdrup Basin, the underlying Franklinian basement rocks yield Early Cretaceous fission track ages with relatively long mean track lengths. This indicates that this part of the basin was uplifted at this time and that subsequent sedimentation and subsidence in the Cretaceous and early Tertiary were modest. This locality thus appears to be on the rift shoulder, which developed along the flank of the Amerasia Basin in the Lower Cretaceous. At a locality on western Axel Heiberg Island, which is downflank from the rift shoulder, the Upper Jurassic Awingak sandstone has a Late Cretaceous fission track age. This is best explained by heating above the total annealing temperature for fission‐tracks in apatite by extensive Lower Cretaceous intrusions and subsequent heat dissipation and cooling in the Late Cretaceous followed by further substantial cooling due to Tertiary denudation. These results indicate that maximum burial temperatures occurred in the presently exposed Mesozoic section prior to basin inversion during the Eurekan Orogeny. It can therefore be inferred that peak hydrocarbon generation and primary migration predated the formation of structural traps during the Tertiary at shallow depths within the northern Sverdrup Basin.  相似文献   

A new probabilistic approach to estimating marine gastropod densities from baited traps          下载免费PDF全文

A new probabilistic approach is proposed to assess muricid species population abundances at scales relevant to both Ancient and Modern coastal fisheries. Motivated by the long‐term goal of reconstructing the dynamics of exploited murex populations during Antiquity, the objective was to estimate the population density of the banded dye‐murex, Hexaplex trunculus (Linnaeus, 1758) from successive captures with baited traps, using a method similar to the technique employed in the Mediterranean purple dye industry. The stochastic model developed simulates cumulative captures while accounting for high variability. It was calibrated with data acquired during a field trapping experiment (Crete Island, Greece). Traps’ catchability and Effective Area of Attraction (EAA) were estimated using the individual speed and behavioural response towards bait from laboratory experiments. Average density of H. trunculus was estimated as 2.2 ± 1.4 SE individuals per square metre, with no significant differences between seagrass and rocky habitats. The clearing time of successive capture experiments averaged 84 ± 6 SE hr. Clearing ca. 0.4 ha of subtidal area would be necessary to produce ca. 1.0 g of pure Tyrian purple pigment. The method described is generalizable to making population abundance estimates for similar groups, such as whelks, in modern fisheries.  相似文献   

Architecture of tunnel valleys in the southeastern North Sea: new insights from high-resolution seismic imaging     

Arne Lohrberg  Klaus Schwarzer  Daniel Unverricht  Andreas Omlin  Sebastian Krastel 《第四纪科学杂志》2020,35(7):892-906

Tunnel valleys are assumed to form near the margin of ice sheets. Hence, they can be used to reconstruct the dynamics of former ice margins. The detailed formation and infill of tunnel valleys, however, are still not well understood. Here, we present a dense grid of high-resolution 2D multi-channel reflection seismic data from the German sector of the southeastern North Sea imaging tunnel valleys in very great detail. Three tunnel valley systems were traced over distances ranging between 11 and 21 km. All tunnel valleys are completely filled and buried. They differ in incision depth, incision width and number of incisions. The tunnel valleys cut 130–380 m deep into Neogene, Palaeogene and Cretaceous sediments; they show a lower V-shaped and an upper U-shaped morphology. For individual tunnel valleys, the overall incision direction ranges from east–west to northeast–southwest. Two tunnel valleys intersect at an oblique angle without reuse of the thalweg. These valleys incise into a pre-existing glaciotectonic complex consisting of thrust sheets in the northwest of the study area. The analysis of the glaciotectonic complex and the tunnel valleys leads us to assume that we identified several marginal positions of (pre-)Elsterian ice lobes in the southeastern North Sea.  相似文献

Pulsation–decline relationships in R Coronae Borealis stars     

Lisa A. Crause  Warrick A. Lawson  Arne A. Henden 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2007,375(1):301-306

Decline onset times were measured in long-term visual light curves for five R Coronae Borealis (RCB) variable stars. These included RY Sgr and V854 Cen, the two RCB stars previously reported to have a relationship between dust formation events and pulsational variations. Analysis of the decline epochs showed that all decline onsets for a given star obey a linear ephemeris tied to the object's dominant radial pulsation period. Thus, in addition to confirming the pulsation–decline correlation for RY Sgr and V854 Cen, this same behaviour was demonstrated in UW Cen, R CrB and S Aps for the first time. This general result firmly establishes the connection between radial pulsation and mass loss in the RCB stars. The dominant pulsation period of ≈40 d for all of these objects therefore represents the characteristic time-scale on which these stars produce dust.  相似文献   

Wave-trains in the solar wind     

Arne K. Richter 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1975,36(2):383-405

Applying an Alfvén-Wave-Extended-QRH-approximation and the method of characteristics, we solve the equations of motion for outwardly propagating Alfvén waves analytically for three different cases of an azimuthal dependence of the background solar wind, (a) for a pure fast-slow stream configuration, (b) for the situation where the high-speed stream originates from a diverging magnetic field region, and (c) for the case of (b) and an initially decreasing density configuration (‘coronal hole’). The reaction of these waves on the background state as well as mode-mode coupling effects are neglected. These three solar wind models are discussed shortly. For the superimposed Alfvén waves we find, on an average, that there is a strong azimuthal dependence of all relevant wave parameters which, correlated with the azimuthal distributions of the solar wind variables, leads to good agreements with observations. The signature of high-speed streams and these correlations could clearly indicate solar wind streams originating from ‘coronal holes’. Contrary to the purely radial dependent solar wind, where outwardly propagating Alfvén waves are exclusively refracted towards the radial direction, we now find a refraction nearly perpendicular to the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field in the compression region and closely towards the magnetic field direction down the trailing edge and in the low-speed regime.  相似文献   

New C13N14 search regions in the solar spectrum     

Theodore D. Fay  Arne A. Wyller 《Solar physics》1970,11(3):384-387

Ten new rotational line positions, due to the (0,0) red C¹³N¹⁴ band, are calculated to fall squarely within continuum regions 1–2 Å wide in the near infrared solar spectrum, , 10 990–11 630. Precision observations of the isotopic line strengths in this spectral region, albeit difficult, should resolve the present ambiguity in the blue-violet observations of whether or not the solar C¹²/C¹³ ratio is equal to or larger than the terrestrial ratio.  相似文献   

Adaptive isogeometric finite element analysis of steady‐state groundwater flow          下载免费PDF全文

Numerical challenges occur in the simulation of groundwater flow problems because of complex boundary conditions, varying material properties, presence of sources or sinks in the flow domain, or a combination of these. In this paper, we apply adaptive isogeometric finite element analysis using locally refined (LR) B‐splines to address these types of problems. The fundamentals behind isogeometric analysis and LR B‐splines are briefly presented. Galerkin's method is applied to the standard weak formulation of the governing equation to derive the linear system of equations. A posteriori error estimates are calculated to identify which B‐splines should be locally refined. The error estimates are calculated based on recovery of the L₂‐projected solution. The adaptive analysis method is first illustrated by performing simulation of benchmark problems with analytical solutions. Numerical applications to two‐dimensional groundwater flow problems are then presented. The problems studied are flow around an impervious corner, flow around a cutoff wall, and flow in a heterogeneous medium. The convergence rates obtained with adaptive analysis using local refinement were, in general, observed to be of optimal order in contrast to simulations with uniform refinement.

Decadal fingerprints of freshwater discharge around Greenland in a multi-model ensemble   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

Didier Swingedouw  Christian B. Rodehacke  Erik Behrens  Matthew Menary  Steffen M. Olsen  Yongqi Gao  Uwe Mikolajewicz  Juliette Mignot  Arne Biastoch 《Climate Dynamics》2013,41(3-4):695-720

The recent increase in the rate of the Greenland ice sheet melting has raised with urgency the question of the impact of such a melting on the climate. As former model projections, based on a coarse representation of the melting, show very different sensitivity to this melting, it seems necessary to consider a multi-model ensemble to tackle this question. Here we use five coupled climate models and one ocean-only model to evaluate the impact of 0.1 Sv (1 Sv = 10⁶ m³/s) of freshwater equally distributed around the coast of Greenland during the historical era 1965–2004. The ocean-only model helps to discriminate between oceanic and coupled responses. In this idealized framework, we find similar fingerprints in the fourth decade of hosing among the models, with a general weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Initially, the additional freshwater spreads along the main currents of the subpolar gyre. Part of the anomaly crosses the Atlantic eastward and enters into the Canary Current constituting a freshwater leakage tapping the subpolar gyre system. As a consequence, we show that the AMOC weakening is smaller if the leakage is larger. We argue that the magnitude of the freshwater leakage is related to the asymmetry between the subpolar-subtropical gyres in the control simulations, which may ultimately be a primary cause for the diversity of AMOC responses to the hosing in the multi-model ensemble. Another important fingerprint concerns a warming in the Nordic Seas in response to the re-emergence of Atlantic subsurface waters capped by the freshwater in the subpolar gyre. This subsurface heat anomaly reaches the Arctic where it emerges and induces a positive upper ocean salinity anomaly by introducing more Atlantic waters. We found similar climatic impacts in all the coupled ocean–atmosphere models with an atmospheric cooling of the North Atlantic except in the region around the Nordic Seas and a slight warming south of the equator in the Atlantic. This meridional gradient of temperature is associated with a southward shift of the tropical rains. The free surface models also show similar sea-level fingerprints notably with a comma-shape of high sea-level rise following the Canary Current.  相似文献
