Abstract   A drilling and coring investigation of the Sagara oil field, central Honshu, Japan, was conducted to contribute to the understanding of hydrocarbon migration processes in a forearc basin. Core samples were analyzed to determine lithology, physical properties (specifically gas permeability) and the characteristics of oil occurrence. Gas permeability values greater than approximately 10⁻¹¹ m² constitute the basic precondition for any lithology to serve as a potential fluid conduit or reservoir in the Sagara oil field. Cores recovered from the 200.6-m-deep borehole were primarily composed of alternating siltstone, sandstone and conglomerate, all of which are correlated to the late Miocene Sagara Group. Both sandstone and conglomerate can be classified into two types, carbonate-cemented and poorly to non-cemented, based on matrix material characteristics. Oil stains are generally absent in the former lithology and more common in the latter. Variations in physical properties with respect to gas permeability values are directly related to the presence and character of carbonate cement, with higher permeabilities common in poorly to non-cemented rocks. The relationships between lithology, oil-staining, cementation and permeability indicate that cementation preceded oil infiltration and that cementation processes exerted significant control on the evolution of the reservoir.  相似文献   

Seismic diagnosis of railway substructures by using secondary acoustic emission     

Xiu Luo  Hiroshi Haya  Tomoaki Inaba  Tomoki Shiotani 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2006,26(12):1101-1110

One difficult task for the seismic diagnosis of existing structures is how to nondestructively evaluate the damage degree of invisible substructures, such as embedded foundations. To diagnose substructures efficiently, a method for nondestructive inspection is developed by applying acoustic emission (AE) technique. As a newly proposed method, characteristics of secondary AE induced by train operations were investigated, and experiments using model piles and in-situ AE monitoring of in-service railway bridges conducted under railroad traffic, from which it was demonstrated that the proposed method is practicable enough to detect invisible defects in structures. A new index, known as RTRI (ratio of Repeated Train load at the onset of AE activity to Relative maximum load for Inspection period) is proposed for structural damage qualification based on the results of in-situ AE monitoring.  相似文献   

Groundwater-level Changes Due to Pressure Gradient Induced by Nearby Earthquakes off Izu Peninsula, 1997     

Masao Ohno  Tsutomu Sato  Kenji Notsu  Hiroshi Wakita  Kunio Ozawa 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2006,163(4):647-655

Anomalous water level changes were observed at two wells associated with seismic swarm activity off Izu Peninsula on March, 1997. These are coseismic water level drops followed by gradual postseismic water level rise at the time of large earthquakes during the swarm activity. The post-seismic water level rises, which can be fitted by an exponential function with a time constant of about six hours, are explained in terms of the horizontal pressure diffusion due to the pressure gradient in the aquifer induced by the coseismic static strain.  相似文献   

Fog and rain water chemistry at Mt. Fuji: A case study during the September 2002 campaign   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Measurements of fog and rain water chemistry at the summit of Mt. Fuji, the highest peak in Japan, as well as at Tarobo, the ESE slope of Mt. Fuji in September 2002. The pH of fog and rain water sampled at Mt. Fuji varied over a range of 4.0–6.8. Acidic fogs (pH < 5.0) were observed at the summit when the air mass came from the industrial regions on the Asian continent. The ratio of [SO₄²⁻]/[NO₃⁻] in the fog water was lower at Tarobo than at the summit. High concentrations of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ were determined in the rain water sampled at the summit, possibly because of the long-range transport of sea-salt particles raised by a typhoon through the middle troposphere. The vertical transport of sea-salt particles would influence the cloud microphysical properties in the middle troposphere. Significant loss of Mg²⁺ was seen in the rain water at the summit. The concentrations of peroxides in the fog and rain water were relatively large (10–105 μM). The potential capacity for SO₂ oxidation seems to be strong from summer to early autumn at Mt. Fuji. The fog water peroxide concentrations displayed diurnal variability. The peroxide concentrations in the nighttime were significantly higher than those in the daytime.  相似文献   

An Improved Mellor–Yamada Level-3 Model: Its Numerical Stability and Application to a Regional Prediction of Advection Fog     

Mikio Nakanishi  Hiroshi Niino 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2006,119(2):397-407

This note describes a numerically stable version of the improved Mellor–Yamada (M–Y) Level-3 model proposed by Nakanishi and Niino [Nakanishi, M. and Niino, H.: 2004, Boundary-Layer Meteorol. 112, 1–31] and demonstrates its application to a regional prediction of advection fog. In order to ensure the realizability for the improved M–Y Level-3 model and its numerical stability, restrictions are imposed on computing stability functions, on L/q, the temperature and water-content variances, and their covariance, where L is the master length scale and q ²/2 the turbulent kinetic energy per unit mass. The model with these restrictions predicts vertical profiles of mean quantities such as temperature that are in good agreement with those obtained from large-eddy simulation of a radiation fog. In a regional prediction, it also reasonably reproduces the satellite-observed horizontal distribution of an advection fog.  相似文献   

Pressure dependence on partition coefficients for trace elements between olivine and the coexisting melts     

Hiroshi Taura  Hisayoshi Yurimoto  Kei Kurita  Shigeho Sueno 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1998,25(7):469-484

Partition coefficients between olivine and melt at upper mantle conditions, 3 to 14 GPa, have been determined for 27 trace elements (Li, Be, B, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Cs, Ba, La and Ce) using secondary-ion mass-spectrometry (SIMS) and electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). The general pattern of olivine/melt partitioning on Onuma diagrams resembles those reported previously for natural systems. This agreement strongly supports the argument that partitioning is under structural control of olivine even at high pressure. The partition coefficients for mono- and tri-valent cations show significant pressure dependence, both becoming larger with pressure, and are strongly correlated with coupled substitution into cation sites in the olivine structure. The dominant type of trace element substitution for mono- and tri-valent cations into olivine changes gradually from (Si, Mg)↔(Al, Cr) at low pressure to (Si, Mg)↔(Al, Al) and (Mg, Mg)↔(Na, Al) at high pressure. The change in substitution type results in an increase in partition coefficients of Al and Na with pressure. An inverse correlation between the partition coefficients for divalent cations and pressure has been observed, especially for Ni, Co and Fe. The order of decreasing rate of partition coefficient with pressure correlates to strength of crystal field effect of the cation. The pressure dependence of olivine/melt partitioning can be attributed to the compression of cation polyhedra induced by pressure and the compensation of electrostatic valence by cation substitution.

Partitioning of Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Mg²⁺ between olivine and silicate melts: compositional dependence of partition coefficient   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Eiichi Takahashi 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1978,42(12):1829-1844

Partitioning of Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Mg²⁺ between olivine and silicate melts has been determined near the join (Mg_0.5·-Fe_0.5)₂SiO₄-K₂O 4SiO₂ and for seven different basaltic compositions. The experiments were made at 1 atm total pressure, 1500-1100°C, and under moderate to reducing oxygen fugacities. The concentration factor, defined as K^MO = (MO)^ol/(MO)^liq (molar ratio), increases markedly for all the cations studied as the olivine component of the liquid decreases. Much of the increase in K^MO is considered as due to the compositional effect of the coexisting liquid: the temperature effect on K^MO is probably opposite to the compositional effect (K^MO decreases as temperature decreases).The partition coefficient K^MO-MgO = (MO/MgO)^ol/(MO/MgO)^liq for the reaction, M_ol²⁺ + Mg_liq²⁺ = M_liq²⁺ + Mg_ol²⁺. is relatively constant over a wide range of SiO₂ content of the liquid, except in the case of Ni²⁺. The partition coefficients have similar ranges both in synthetic and natural rock systems: K^NiO-MgO = 1.8–3.0, K^CoO-MgO = 0.6–0.8, K^FeO-MgO = 0.27–0.38, and K^MnO-MgO = 0.23–0.32. There is a systematic variation in the partition coefficient K^MO-MgO with the composition of liquid; K^MO-MgO increases with increasing SiO₂ content of melt. The partition coefficients for Co²⁺, Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺ are useful to test the equilibration of olivine with magma of a wide compositional range.  相似文献

Resonance capacity method for earthquake response analysis of hysteretic structures     

Minoru Yamada  Hiroshi Kawamura 《地震工程与结构动力学》1980,8(4):299-313

The Resonance Capacity Method is proposed for the earthquake response analysis of hysteretic structures. Resonance Capacity is a physical quantity of structures which is related to the hysteretic energy absorbed by structures in one cycle and is equated to the acceleration, velocity and displacement amplitudes α₀, d₀ and d₀ of earthquake ground motions at resonance.¹ According to the idealized trapezoidal approximation of earthquake ground motions in the logarithmic period–velocity plane as proposed by Veletsos and Newmark,⁸ the Resonance Capacity property applies in each period range, short, medium and long, where α₀, v₀ and d₀ respectively are approximately constant. In the medium range of periods, the energy dissipated in hysteretic loops and the deformation amplitudes of a single-degree system with elasto–plastic force–deformation relationships are calculated for the case of El Centro 1940, 18 May earthquake, by this Resonance Capacity Method. The result is compared with results from conventional numerical response analyses obtained by Berg and Thomaides,¹⁴ Kato and Akiyama¹² and Veletsos and Newmark,⁸ and the general agreement is seen to be good. Therefore, it may be possible to apply this Resonance Capacity Method over the entire range of periods. By means of this method the earthquake response analysis of hysteretic systems can be performed easily, and the hysteretic energy and fatigue characteristics of structures may be taken into account directly, up to the point of fracture.  相似文献
