Numerical simulation of groundwater flow used for the estimation of hydraulic and hydrologic parameters which is an important tool for the management of aquifers. This study presents the results of a mathematical model developed for the simulation of groundwater flow in Nahavand plain aquifer in the southwest Hamadan province. For this purpose Groundwater Modeling Software (GMS) was used which supports the MODFLOW-2000 code. After gathering required data such as the hydrological, hydrogeological and topography maps, a 3D hydrogeological model of plain was constructed with borehole and surface elevation data. Then MODFLOW was used for simulation of flow. After initial simulation of the flow, the model was calibrated in steady state with trial-and-error and parameter estimation methods the observed head of groundwater table monitoring data of 1997. Results of calibration show that error between observed head and computed head is in allowable range. Also results of computed head with model show that groundwater flow is in the direction of the dominate slope (southeast to northwest). Finally MODPATH code which simulates advective transport of particles was used for estimation of flow path and source of contaminants.  相似文献   

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy selection of the optimal parameters of protective spur dike

This study proposes a new approach for determining optimum dimensions of protective spur dike to mitigate scour amount around existing spur dikes. The main objective of this article was to predict the most optimum values of the protective spur dikes to reach the best performance. To predict the protective spur dike parameters for scour controlling around spur dikes, this paper constructed a process which selects the optimal protective spur dike parameters in regard to actual length of the protective spur dike, actual length of the main spur dikes, distance between the protective spur dike and the first spur dike, angle between protective spur dike and flow direction, flow intensity and median size of bed sediments with adaptive neuro-fuzzy (ANFIS) method. To build a protective spur dike with the best features, it is desirable to select and analyze factors that are truly relevant or the most influential to the spur dike. This procedure is typically called variable selection, and it corresponds to finding a subset of the full set of recorded variables that exhibits good predictive abilities. In this study, architecture for modeling complex systems in function approximation and regression was used, based on using ANFIS. Variable searching using the ANFIS network was performed to determine how the five factors affect the protective spur dike. Experimental model of the protective spur dike was used to generate training and checking data for the ANFIS network.  相似文献   

Distinct element simulation of ultimate bearing capacity in jointed rock foundations   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

In this paper, distinct element method numerical modeling is applied to evaluate bearing capacity of strip footing rested on anisotropic discontinuous rock mass. As yet, a little work has been carried out to investigate the effect of joint set orientation on the bearing capacity of rock mass. Generally, the overall behavior of rock mass under loading is very complicated and such analysis should include deformation determination, sliding along discontinuities and failure of rock material. Failure mechanism of rock mass depended on both geometrical parameters of joint sets and strength parameters of rock mass. In this research, it is assumed that rock mass contains one joint set, and therefore the anisotropy in bearing capacity and rock behavior is only due to the existence and orientation of the joint set. In this study, by assuming constant strength parameters and using Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion for the single joint set and nonlinear Hoek–Brown failure criterion for rock material, variation of the bearing capacity values and the type of failure mechanism of rock mass with different joint set dips is investigated. The obtained results indicate that the ultimate bearing capacity of rock mass containing one joint set varies between 27 and 86 % of intact rock.  相似文献   

Geochemistry and geodynamics of the Mawat mafic complex in the Zagros Suture zone, northeast Iraq     

Hossein Azizi  Ayten Hadi  Yoshihiro Asahara  Youssef Osman Mohammad 《Central European Journal of Geosciences》2013,5(4):523-537

The Iraqi Zagros Orogenic Belt includes two separate ophiolite belts, which extend along a northwest-southeast trend near the Iranian border. The outer belt shows ophiolite sequences and originated in the oceanic ridge or supra-subduction zone. The inner belt includes the Mawat complex, which is parallel to the outer belt and is separated by the Biston Avoraman block. The Mawat complex with zoning structures includes sedimentary rocks with mafic interbedded lava and tuff, and thick mafic and ultramafic rocks. This complex does not show a typical ophiolite sequences such as those in Penjween and Bulfat. The Mawat complex shows evidence of dynamic deformation during the Late Cretaceous. Geochemical data suggest that basic rocks have high MgO and are significantly depleted in LREE relative to HREE. In addition they show positive ? _Nd values (+5 to+8) and low 87Sr/86Sr ratios. The occurrence of some OIB type rocks, high Mg basaltic rocks and some intermediate compositions between these two indicate the evolution of the Mawat complex from primary and depleted source mantle. The absence of a typical ophiolite sequence and the presence of good compatibility of the source magma with magma extracted from the mantle plume suggests that a mantle plume from the D″ layer is more consistent as the source of this complex than the oceanic ridge or supra-subduction zone settings. Based on our proposed model the Mawat basin represents an extensional basin formed during the Late Paleozoic to younger along the Arabian passive margin oriented parallel to the Neo-Tethys oceanic ridge or spreading center. The Mawat extensional basin formed without creation of new oceanic basement. During the extension, huge volumes of mafic lava were intruded into this basin. This basin was squeezed between the Arabian Plate and Biston Avoraman block during the Late Cretaceous.  相似文献   

Maximum mass of a hot neutron star with a quark core

We have considered a hot neutron star with a quark core,a mixed phase of quark-hadron matter,and a hadronic matter crust and have determined the equation of state of the hadronic phase and the quark phase.We have then found the equation of state of the mixed phase under the Gibbs conditions.Finally,we have computed the structure of a hot neutron star with a quark core and compared our results with those of the neutron star without a quark core.For the quark matter calculations,we have used the MIT bag model...  相似文献

Validation and calibration of solar radiation equations for estimating daily reference evapotranspiration at cool semi-arid and arid locations     

Hossein Tabari  Parisa Hosseinzadehtalaei  Patrick Willems  Christopher Martinez 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(3):610-619

ABSTRACT

In this work, the applicability of 12 solar radiation (R_S) estimation models and their impacts on daily reference evapotranspiration (ET_o) estimates using the Penman‐Monteith FAO-56 (PMF-56) method were tested under cool arid and semi-arid conditions in Iran. The results indicated that the average increase in accuracy of the ET_o estimates by the calibrated R_S models, quantified by the decrease in RMSE, was 2.8% and 6.4% for semi-arid and arid climates, respectively. Mean daily deviations in the estimated ET_o by the calibrated R_S equations in semi-arid climates varied from ?0.283?mm/d^-1 for the Glover‐McCulloch model to 0.080?mm/d for the El-Sebaii model, with an average of ?0.109?mm/d^-1, and in arid climates, they ranged from ?0.522?mm/d^-1 for the Samani model to 0.668?mm/d for the El-Sebaii model, with an average of 0.125?mm/d^-1.
