Transverse vibrations of a rectangular cantilever plate with thickness varying in a discontinuous fashion     

R.E. Rossi  P.M. Belles  P.A.A. Laura  S. La Malfa  L. Ercoli  D. Pasqua 《Ocean Engineering》1996,23(3):271-276

A numerical solution is obtained for the title problem by means of the popular finite element method. An experimental investigation of the problem is also presented for plates of square planform. The agreement between theoretical and experimental values is very good in the case of the fundamental frequency, and reasonably good when the second and third normal modes of transverse vibration are considered. It is concluded that beneficial effects are obtained in the sense that one generates a lighter structural element with higher fundamental frequency of transverse vibration. Hence, dynamic stiffening is achieved.  相似文献   

The near field of internal waves after the moving area of atmospheric pressures     

V. E. Veden'kov  V. F. Sannikov 《Physical Oceanography》1992,3(3):175-181

The near wave field generated by the travelling atmospheric pressure zone over a stratified fluid is studied within the framework of the linear theory of long waves allowing for the Coriolis force. The exact solution of the problem as a set of single integrals is deduced for the model distribution of pressures. The characteristics of the near wave field have been computed for the Väisälä-Brunt frequency profile takeu from observations. Their dependences on the geographical latitude and the wave generator travelling rate are analysed.Translated by Mikhail M. Trufanov.  相似文献   

Dynamic response of dolos armor units to drop test impact loads     

B.T. Rosson  J.W. Tedesco 《Ocean Engineering》1992,19(6)

Dolos concrete units have been used extensively throughout the world for the protection of shorelines and rubble structures. A three-dimensional finite element model is used to determine the states of dynamic stress in dolosse with varying dimensions and concrete properties. An analytical procedure is developed which accurately predicts the tensile stress in the shank and horizontal fluke of dolosse subject to drop test loading conditions Numerical examples are presented which illustrate the application of prediction and iso-stress equations.  相似文献

Facies recognition of some Tertiary coals applied to prediction of oil source rock occurrence     

S. Thompson  R.J. Morley  P.C. Barnard  B.S. Cooper 《Marine and Petroleum Geology》1985,2(4):288-297

Coals are oil source rocks in many of the Tertiary basins of Southeast Asia. The precursors of these hydrogen rich and oxygen poor coals are coastal plain peats which have mainly developed in an everwet and tropical climate. In these environments water flow and reworking can concentrate liptinitic kerogen in preference to vitrinitic kerogen. The distribution, petrography and chemistry of the coaly Miocene source rocks present in the Kutai Basin are described. The recognition of environmental controls on the accumulation of potentially oil-prone coals and coaly shales in deltaic environments is an aid to predictive source bed recognition in petroleum exploration. Comments on the environment of deposition of coaly sediments in the basins of the Norwegian Sea are discussed with reference to their possible oil and/or gas sourcing potential. The Triassic - Jurassic coals of the Haltenbanken area may become more oil-prone towards the delta margins, and facies mapping could aid oil exploration in this area.  相似文献   

The effect of submarine groundwater discharge on nutrient and salinity regimes in a coastal lagoon off Perth, Western Australia     

R. E. Johannes  C. J. Hearn 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》1985,21(6):789-800

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into a coastal lagoon off Perth, Western Australia, contains nitrate and silicate in concentrations two orders of magnitude higher than those of the receiving waters. This discharge delivers enough nitrate to replace that dissolved in the lagoon water mass about every eight days and enough silicate to replace the lagoon silicate in about 48 days. The delivery rate of nitrate nitrogen by SGD is equal to about 48% of that required for observed growth rates of lagoon macrophytes. Surface salinity is lower close to the shore as a result of SGD. During calm conditions a salinity front was observed in the lagoon, with a nearshore pool of nutrient-enriched water floating above the more saline ocean water.  相似文献   

Implementation of High Resolution Tidal Current Fields in Electronic Navigational Chart Systems     

B. Gjevik  D. Hareide  B. K. Lynge  A. Ommundsen  J. H. Skailand  H. B. Urheim 《Marine Geodesy》2006,29(1):1-17

A system for displaying tidal currents in an electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) has been developed and implemented in compliance with the standards of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). The tidal current fields can be displayed in real time on the electronic navigational chart and several options and functions for updating and zooming have been designed. The current fields are calculated from a data base with the harmonic constants for the four major tidal constituents. The harmonic constants are obtained from a high resolution numerical model with horizontal grid resolution of 100 m. The model is validated by comparing with sea level and current measurements. The depth matrix for the central part of the model domain was calculated from data from multibeam bathymetric surveys. An application example of the implementation is given for Trondheimsleia, a part of the main sailing route along the western coast of Norway.  相似文献   

Model estimates for the interaction of wind waves and tides in the Pechora Basin-White Sea subsystem     

B. A. Kagan  D. A. Romanenkov 《Izvestiya Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics》2006,42(3):375-385

The “weak-interaction” approximation is used to investigate the role of wind waves in tidal dynamics. The resulting expression for the drag coefficient in the wave-affected tidal flow is incorporated into the QUODDY-4 three-dimensional finite-element hydrothermodynamic model, and the thus modified model is used to calculate the K ₁ diurnal tide in the Pechora Basin-White Sea subsystem. It is shown that, depending on a combination of local and nonlocal factors, wind waves can cause opposite variations in the amplitudes and phases of tidal oscillations of the level. Local factors control variations in the tidal regime nearly in the entire water area of the subsystem under consideration, apart from the eastern part of the Pechora Basin, the outlet from the White Sea Throat, and Dvina Bay. In the aforementioned areas, the tidal regime changes are due either to the displacement of the nearest amphidromy or to other nonlocal factors resulting from the reorganization of the fields of tidal characteristics. It is also shown that the variations in tidal characteristics induced by wind waves vary within a fairly wide range and that allowance for the interaction of wind waves and tides improves the agreement between calculated and observed values of the amplitudes and phases of tidal oscillations of the level.  相似文献   

Hadley and Rossby regimes in a simple model of convection of a rotating fluid     

A. E. Gledzer  E. B. Gledzer  F. V. Dolzhanskii  V. M. Ponomarev 《Izvestiya Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics》2006,42(4):399-422

This paper analyzes the properties of solutions to the equations describing the motion of a stratified fluid in the class of velocity and temperature fields linear in coordinates. For an ideal fluid, these equations, on the one hand, are exact for the corresponding hydrodynamic problem and, on the other hand, are identical to the equations of motion for a heavy top. In a conservative case, the equations of motion of a top share common solutions with the equations of geophysical fluid dynamics and reproduce motions similar to those existing in the theory of the large-scale atmospheric circulation. This study considers the effects of viscosity and heat conduction in the fluid, which are, in a sense, similar to the effect of friction in the case of a top. The influence of deflections of the vectors of gravity and external rotation from their standard directions for a plane-parallel atmosphere is also considered. The regimes of motions that are described by the starting equations and approximations commonly used to model the atmospheric general circulation (the quasi-geostrophic approximation) are analyzed. It is shown that these equations correctly describe the Hadley and Rossby circulation regimes and transitions between them that are observed in numerical and laboratory experiments. Particular attention is given to the consistency between different regimes of the exact equations and their quasi-geostrophic approximations, which is manifested for small Rossby numbers and is generally absent for large Rossby numbers. The asymptotic behaviors of the curves of transition between the Hadley and Rossby regimes under the conditions of breaking the external symmetry of flows are obtained. These asymptotics explain the corresponding transition boundaries for the regimes observed in the known experiments in annuluses.  相似文献   

Condition of coastal mesoplankton communities in the northeastern area of the Black Sea in 2005     

M. E. Vinogradov  L. P. Lebedeva  T. A. Lukasheva  L. L. Anokhina 《Oceanology》2006,46(6):817-826

The structure and distribution of mesoplankton in the northeastern part of the Black Sea along 6-mile and 100-mile sections in the area off Golubaya Bay (near the city of Gelendzhik) were analyzed. The studies were performed from R/V Akvanavt and the boat Ashamba. The observations were carried out during the vegetation season from the beginning of June to the first half of October 2005. Samples of mesoplankton were collected with use of a BSD net with an opening of 0.1 m² and a mesh size of 180 μm. Both the total (over the entire water column) and layer-by-layer (separately for the upper quasi-homogeneous layer, the seasonal thermocline, and the subthermocline layer) hauls were performed down to the bottom (at sea depths of less than 200 m) or down to the upper boundary of the hydrogen sulfide waters. The particular hydrophysical conditions that were observed in 2005 resulted in an approximately one-month advance of the phenological condition of the planktonic community as compared to the usual pattern. Beroe ovata appeared in the plankton at the end of July, the mass development of Mnemiopsis leidyi was suppressed, and the duration of its influence on edible zooplankton was essentially reduced. As a result, the total mesoplankton biomass in August–October 2005 was 1.5–2 times as great as that in 2004. The abundance of Acartia clausi increased approximately 4–5 times and the quantity of Sagitta setosa also considerably increased. At selected stations, Mnemiopsis leidyias, the main predator in the community, was replaced by Sagitta setosa.  相似文献
