Viscosity experiments were conducted with two flux-rich pegmatitic melts PEG0 and PEG2. The Li₂O, F, B₂O₃ and P₂O₅ contents of these melts were 1.04, 4.06, 2.30 and 1.68 and 1.68, 5.46, 2.75 and 2.46 wt%, respectively. The water contents varied from dry to 9.04 wt% H₂O. The viscosity was determined in internally heated gas pressure vessels using the falling sphere method in the temperature range 873–1,373 K at 200 and 320 MPa pressure. At 1,073 K, the viscosity of water-rich (~9 wt% H₂O) melts is in the range of 3–60 Pa s, depending on the melt composition. Extrapolations to lower temperature assuming an Arrhenian behavior indicate that highly fluxed pegmatite melts may reach viscosities of ~30 Pa s at 773 K. However, this value is a minimum estimation considering the strongly non-Arrhenian behavior of hydrous silicate melts. The experimentally determined melt viscosities are lower than the prediction of current models taking compositional parameters into account. Thus, these models need to be improved to predict accurately the viscosity of flux-rich water bearing melts. The data also indicate that Li influences significantly the melt viscosity. Decreasing the molar Al/(Na + K + Li) ratio results in a strong viscosity decrease, and highly fluxed melts with low Al/(Na + K + Li) ratios (~0.8) have a rheological behavior which is very close to that of supercritical fluids.  相似文献   

An operational model to simulate post-accidental radionuclide transfers in Toulon marine area: preliminary development   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1

As part of its development of post-accident management tools, the French Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety is setting up a model to simulate radionuclide dispersion in the Toulon marine area (one of France’s main military ports). The model is based on the MARS 3D code developed by IFREMER. It reproduces hydro-sedimentation phenomena in the Bay of Toulon with a horizontal spatial resolution of 100 m and 30 vertical sigma levels and also factors in radioactive decay and dissolved/particulate distribution of the radionuclides studied. With no tide, the major currents in this area are generated by the wind. The model effectively reproduces the resulting hydrodynamic phenomena, which were measured throughout the summer of 2009 in the channel that links the Little Bay to the Large Bay of Toulon. When the Mistral (wind from the West/Northwest) blows, a surface current quickly appears, which pushes water southwards from the Little Bay, and which is offset by a bottom current (upwellings). When the wind blows from the East, the currents move in the opposite direction, and southeasterly waves, dependent on wind strength and fetch, occur in the Large Bay. Here, we give an example of the simulated dispersion of radionuclides released directly into the surface waters near the Arsenal, demonstrating the constraint relative to dispersion generated by the half-closed configuration of the Little Bay. Sediment in the Little Bay also forms an area where the most highly reactive radionuclides would accumulate, and where the lack of waves has the effect of considerably limiting the phenomena of resuspension.  相似文献   

Assessing meteotsunami potential of high-frequency air pressure oscillations observed in the middle Adriatic     

Ivica Vilibić  Hrvoje Mihanović  Francois Charrayre 《Natural Hazards》2014,74(1):217-232

High-resolution air pressure series collected from a triangle of middle Adriatic microbarograph stations between April 2009 and March 2011 have been analysed to extract the rapid pressure changes normally found during meteotsunamis. Five-minute air pressure tendencies were used to detect an event. Wavelet and cross-wavelet analysis showed that the energies of high-frequency pressure changes that occurred during the warm part of the year were an order of magnitude higher than those that occurred during the cold part of the year. Coherence between stations was normally found at periods longer than 1 h, while air pressure disturbances were dispersive and not coherent at shorter periods. This implies that the disturbances had little to no potential to generate meteotsunamis in the middle Adriatic area, as the eigenoscillations in bays and harbours of the region are over timescales of minutes up to a few tens of minutes.  相似文献   

Storage conditions of Bezymianny Volcano parental magmas: results of phase equilibria experiments at 100 and 700 MPa   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The crystallization sequence of a basaltic andesite from Bezymianny Volcano, Kamchatka, Russia, was simulated experimentally at 100 and 700 MPa at various water activities (aH₂O) to investigate the compositional evolution of residual liquids. The temperature (T) range of the experiments was 950–1,150 °C, aH₂O varied between 0.1 and 1, and the log of oxygen fugacity (fO₂) varied between quartz–fayalite–magnetite (QFM) and QFM + 4.1. The comparison of the experimentally produced liquids and natural samples was used to constrain the pressure (P)–T–aH₂O–fO₂ conditions of the Bezymianny parental magma in the intra-crustal magma plumbing system. The phase equilibria constraints suggest that parental basaltic andesite magmas should contain ~2–2.5 wt% H₂O; they can be stored in upper crustal levels at a depth of ~15 km, and at this depth they start to crystallize at ~1,110 °C. The subsequent chemical evolution of this parental magma most probably proceeded as decompressional crystallization occurred during magma ascent. The final depths at which crystallization products accumulated prior to eruption are not well constrained experimentally but should not be shallower than 3–4 km because amphibole is present in natural magmas (>150 MPa). Thus, the major volume of Bezymianny andesites was produced in a mid-crustal magma chamber as a result of decompressional crystallization of parental basaltic andesites, accompanied by mixing with silicic products from the earlier stages of magma fractionation. In addition, these processes are complicated by the release of volatiles due to magma degassing, which occurs at various stages during magma ascent.  相似文献   

Observations of Hipparcos short-period red giant stars     

Chris Koen  Dave Laney  Francois van Wyk 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2002,335(1):223-232

Optical UBV(RI) _C and infrared JHK photometry is presented of a small sample of giant stars with short periods in the Hipparcos catalogue. Observations were limited, but were sufficient to rule out most of the Hipparcos periods. Radial velocity measurement were also made for a few stars, over six successive nights. Low-level variability was detected in a few stars. It is argued that in most cases the brightness variations are primarily due to temperature changes. These findings show that high-overtone pulsations in M giant stars occur, if at all, in a far more limited number of stars than proposed in the authors' previous discussion of the Hipparcos data alone.  相似文献

确定数值预报模式中扩散系数的一个客观方法     

朴景辰  邹晓蕾 《南京气象学院学报》2009,32(3):339-350

当数值预报模式的分辨率得到提高时,模式中扩散系数的数值大小必然随之改变。通常情况下,一方面,扩散系数的数值应足够大（即有下限值）,以便过滤掉模式中不想要的小尺度噪音;另一方面,扩散系数的数值应尽量小（即有上限值）,以免出现计算不稳定。本文提出一种确定高分辨率模式中扩散系数数值大小的客观方法,即＂双试验＂（twin experiment）同化方法（初始低分辨率模式的预报结果作为＂观测资料＂,新的高分辨率模式作为同化模式）,从而通过伴随变分同化方法来确定控制变量（即扩散系数）的数值大小。本文采用一维浅水模式测试和描述上述试验方案。通过低分辨率模式预报结果和高分辨率模式预报结果的比较（高、低分辨率模式预报结果的比较在低分辨率模式格点上进行）,采用最小二乘法可客观求得适用于高分辨率模式的扩散系数的＂最优＂值。数值试验结果表明,采用这种方法得到的高分辨率模式的扩散系数,不仅能过滤掉模式中不想要的小尺度噪音,而且能够避免出现计算不稳定。研究还指出,当扩散系数的大小略微超过其上限值时（这种情况在极小化迭代中有可能会出现）,计算不稳定的出现将使目标函数的数值迅速增加,并导致极小化程序收敛的失败;时间步长的减小（约20%）可以显著地改进目标函数的条件数,从而可避免极小化程序收敛的失败。  相似文献

Differentiation and crystallization conditions of basalts from the Kerguelen large igneous province: an experimental study   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

Phase relations of basalts from the Kerguelen large igneous province have been investigated experimentally to understand the effect of temperature, fO₂, and fugacity of volatiles (e.g., H₂O and CO₂) on the differentiation path of LIP basalts. The starting rock samples were a tholeiitic basalt from the Northern Kerguelen Plateau (ODP Leg 183 Site 1140) and mildly alkalic basalt evolved from the Kerguelen Archipelago (Mt. Crozier on the Courbet Peninsula), representing different differentiation stages of basalts related to the Kerguelen mantle plume. The influence of temperature, water and oxygen fugacity on phase stability and composition was investigated at 500 MPa and all experiments were fluid-saturated. Crystallization experiments were performed at temperatures between 900 and 1,160°C under oxidizing (log fO₂ ~ ΔQFM + 4) and reducing conditions (log fO₂ ~ QFM) in an internally heated gas-pressure vessel equipped with a rapid quench device and a Pt-Membrane for monitoring the fH₂. In all experiments, a significant influence of the fO₂ on the composition and stability of the Mg/Fe-bearing mineral phases could be observed. Under reducing conditions, the residual melts follow a tholeiitic differentiation trend. In contrast, melts have high Mg# [Mg²⁺/(Mg²⁺ + Fe²⁺)] and follow a calk-alkalic differentiation trend at oxidizing conditions. The comparison of the natural phenocryst assemblages with the experimental products allows us to constrain the differentiation and pre-eruptive conditions of these magmas. The pre-eruptive temperature of the alkalic basalt was about 950–1,050°C. The water content of the melt was below 2.5 wt% H₂O and strongly oxidizing conditions (log fO₂ ~ ΔQFM + 2) were prevailing in the magma chamber prior to eruption. The temperature of the tholeiitic melt was above 1,060°C, with a water content below 2 wt% H₂O and a log fO₂ ~ ΔQFM + 1. Early fractionation of clinopyroxene is a crucial step resulting in the generation of silica-poor and alkali-rich residual melts (e.g., alkali basalt). The enrichment of alkalis in residual melts is enhanced at high fO₂ and low aH₂O.  相似文献
