A petrogenetic grid for eclogite and related facies under high-pressure metamorphism   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12  

C. W. Oh  & J. G. Liou 《Island Arc》1998,7(1-2):36-51

The petrogenetic grid between the eclogite and other high-pressure/temperature (P/T) metamorphic facies in a basaltic system is constructed by considering barroisite as one of the important phases in high-P/T metamorphism and by using previous petrological data combined with Schreinemakers' analysis and slope calculation. In the constructed petrogenetic grid, the eclogite facies is bounded by the blueschist and epidote–amphibolite facies with negative-slope reactions at lower temperatures (450–550 °C) and by the epidote–amphibolite, amphibolite and granulite facies with positive-slope reactions at higher temperatures (> 550–600 °C). The eclogite facies does not contact the greenschist facies, and the lowest P condition for the eclogite facies exists at the boundary between the eclogite and epidote–amphibolite facies. The temperature range of the epidote–amphibolite facies increases with increasing pressure until 8–11 kbar and then decreases up to 13–15 kbar. Compared to boundaries of other facies, boundaries of the eclogite facies may have wider P–T ranges. The boundary between the blueschist and eclogite facies occurs over a large temperature range from 450 to 620 ± 30 °C, and the transitions between the eclogite and amphibolite or high-pressure granulite facies occur over a pressure range in excess of 6–10 kbar.  相似文献   

The analysis of tandem hull vessel motion in waves     

Sy Yeuan Liou  Dong Taur Su  Der Wei Chen 《Ocean Engineering》2002,29(14):1853-1869

This paper attempts to provide a better understanding of the hydrodynamic behavior of a tandem hull form in a floating production platform application where high deck payload capacity and low wave induced motions of this vessel are primary design goals. A simplified hydrodynamic analysis and a more representative radiation and diffraction theory based hydrodynamic analysis are used for wave induced forces and motions. The analysis results are compared with model test results to deduce principal features of these special purpose hull configurations. The motion responses in different wave headings evaluated from the complicated diffraction analysis are compared and discussed in some detail.  相似文献   

Damping long waves by a multi-channel structure     

Sheng-Wen Twu  Cheng-Chi Liou 《Ocean Engineering》2003,30(3):351-367

In this paper, a multi-channel structure was developed to attenuate waves with various wave periods. By ignoring energy losses and the factor of channel width, a simple and straightforward method was used to tackle this problem. The theoretical solution showed that a single reflected channel structure could attenuate waves of a certain wave period, while a multi-channel structure could attenuate waves with various wave periods. If an interval of 0.05<relative water depth<0.15 is concerned, a structure consisting of four reflected channels could provide a transmission coefficient of less than 0.2. Experimental tests were conducted to verify the theoretical solutions. Both theoretical solution and experimental data indicated that waves with various wave periods would be effectively attenuated after passing through the multi-channel structure. Although some factors are neglected in treating this problem, the method is applicable. An allowed transmission coefficient can be provided by a multi-channel structure only if the computed peak value is not larger than that value.  相似文献   

Reworking of the Gangdese magmatic arc,southeastern Tibet: post‐collisional metamorphism and anatexis          下载免费PDF全文

Z. Zhang  X. Dong  H. Xiang  H. Ding  Z. He  J. G. Liou 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2015,33(1):1-21

The Gangdese magmatic arc, southeastern Tibet, was built by mantle‐derived magma accretion and juvenile crustal growth during the Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic northward subduction of the Neo‐Tethyan oceanic slab beneath the Eurasian continent. The petrological and geochronological data reveal that the lower crust of the southeastern Gangdese arc experienced Oligocene reworking by metamorphism, anatexis and magmatism after the India and Asia collision. The post‐collisional metamorphic and migmatitic rocks formed at 34–26 Ma and 28–26 Ma respectively. Meta‐granitoids have protolith ages of 65–38 Ma. Inherited detrital zircon from metasedimentary rocks has highly variable ages ranging from 2708 to 37 Ma. These rocks underwent post‐collisional amphibolite facies metamorphism and coeval anatexis under P–T conditions of ~710–760 °C and ~12 kbar with geothermal gradients of 18–20 °C km ^{? 1}, indicating a distinct crustal thickening process. Crustal shortening, thickening and possible subduction erosion due to the continental collision and ongoing convergence resulted in high‐P metamorphic and anatectic reworking of the magmatic and sedimentary rocks of the deep Gangdese arc. This study provides a typical example of the reworking of juvenile and ancient continental crust during active collisional orogeny.  相似文献   

On the initialization of tropical cyclones with a three dimensional variational analysis     

Chi-Sann Liou  Keith D. Sashegyi 《Natural Hazards》2012,63(3):1375-1391

A method of initializing tropical cyclones in high-resolution numerical models is developed by modifying a data assimilation system, the NRL atmospheric variational data assimilation system (NAVDAS), which was designed for general mesoscale weather prediction using a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) analysis with intermittent updates. The method includes the following three upgrades to overcome difficulties resulting from tropical cyclone initialization with the NAVDAS analysis. First, synthetic observation soundings are generated on 9 vertical levels at 49 points for strong storms (v _max?>?23.1?m?s^?1) and 41 points for weak storms around each cyclone center to supplement the observations used by the analysis. Secondly, a vortex relocation method for nested grids is developed to correct the cyclone position in the background fields of the analysis for each nested mesh. Lastly, the 3DVAR analysis is modified to gradually reduce the horizontal length scale and geostrophic coupling constraint near the center of a tropical cyclone for minimizing the problems introduced by improper covariances and coupling constraint used in the analysis. The synthetic observations significantly improve the intensity and structure of the analysis and the track forecast. The vortex relocation significantly improves the first guess background, avoiding the large analysis corrections that would be needed to correct cyclone position, and reducing the imbalance introduced by such large analysis increments. The modifications to the analysis length scale and geostrophic coupling constraint successfully improve the inner core analysis, providing a tighter circulation, and reducing the underestimate of the mass field gradient. Among the three upgrades, the vortex relocation provides the largest improvement to the tropical cyclone initialization and forecast.  相似文献   

Stochastic simulation of bivariate gamma distribution: a frequency-factor based approach     

Ke-Sheng Cheng  Ju-Chen Hou  Jun-Jih Liou  Yii-Chen Wu  Jie-Lun Chiang 《Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA)》2011,25(2):107-122

A frequency-factor based approach for stochastic simulation of bivariate gamma distribution is proposed. The approach involves generation of bivariate normal samples with a correlation coefficient consistent with the correlation coefficient of the corresponding bivariate gamma samples. Then the bivariate normal samples are transformed to bivariate gamma samples using the well-known general equation of hydrological frequency analysis. We demonstrate that the proposed bivariate gamma simulation approach is capable of generating random sample pairs which not only have the desired marginal densities of component random variables but also their correlation coefficient. Scatter plots of simulated bivariate sample pairs also exhibit appropriate linear patterns (dependence structure) that are commonly observed in environmental and hydrological applications. Caution should also be exercised when specifying combinations of coefficients of skewness and the correlation coefficient for bivariate gamma simulation.  相似文献   

Change-point detection of long-duration extreme precipitation and the effect on hydrologic design: a case study of south Taiwan     

Hone-Jay Chu  Tsung-Yi Pan  Jun-Jih Liou 《Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment (SERRA)》2012,26(8):1123-1130

An increase in the global temperature has intensified the hydrologic cycle, which affects the temporal patterns of precipitation. This study analyzed a long-term annual dataset measuring maximum precipitation in south Taiwan, and identified the change point of the time series using the cumulative sum technique. The result reveals a clear change point of the annual maximum rainfall for 24-h durations in 2004 at most observations. The average 24-h-duration precipitation depth in the study area increased by 27 and 36% for 20-year and 100-year extreme events compared with and without data after 2004, respectively. The long-duration precipitation depth demonstrates a significant positive trend following the change point. Furthermore, this study assesses the changes of hydrologic design while precipitation data are updated annually. The designed 20- and 100-year storm will decrease abruptly when the observed data are subsequently updated until 2004. Because of climate change, this issue is worthy of attention in hydrologic designs.  相似文献

Eclogite varieties and petrotectonic evolution of the northern Guatemala Suture Complex     

Uwe Martens  Tatsuki Tsujimori  Juhn G. Liou 《International Geology Review》2017,59(5-6):721-740

ABSTRACT

Field and petrologic characteristics of two new eclogite localities within the Guatemala Suture Complex (GSC) north of the Motagua Fault are presented. The Tuncaj Hill locality exposes a coherent body of retrogressed eclogite hundreds of metres long that is associated with serpentinite of the North Motagua Unit. The Tanilar River locality exposes numerous bands and lenses of eclogite hosted in sialic gneisses of the Chuacús Complex. The Tuncaj eclogite has a two-stage prograde evolution containing the peak assemblage Grt + Omp + Ttn + Czo + Zo ± Am, formed at temperatures <720°C. In contrast, eclogites of the Tanilar unit are characterized by the paragenesis Omp + Grt + Rt ± Phg ± Qtz ± Ep giving higher peak conditions of T = 720–830°C and P = 2.1–2.7 GPa, near the stability field of coesite. Previously obtained data and our thermobaric calculations suggest distinct petrotectonic evolutions for the various types of eclogites within the suture. The lawsonite eclogites south of the Motagua Fault were probably produced in a mature Farallon subduction zone during the Early Cretaceous. The northern high-pressure (HP) blocks in serpentinite mélange and coherent amphibolite bodies with eclogite relics were generated by the Early Cretaceous subduction of the proto-Caribbean lithosphere under the Great Caribbean Arc. A continental block, the North American passive margin, reached the arc’s trench in the Campanian and was subducted to ca. 80 km depth, producing the eclogites of the Chuacús Complex. As the slab was delaminated and partially exhumed, the continental Chuacús became tectonically juxtaposed with HP blocks of the proto-Caribbean that had been accreted to the Caribbean plate forming the North Motagua Unit. The juxtaposed group migrated to mid-crustal level and was contemporaneously retrogressed under epidote-amphibolite facies conditions.  相似文献
