Theoretical and numerical study of the steady‐state flow through finite fractured porous media     

Minh‐Ngoc Vu  Ahmad Pouya  Darius M. Seyedi 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2014,38(3):221-235

This paper investigates the two‐dimensional flow problem through an anisotropic porous medium containing several intersecting curved fractures. First, the governing equations of steady‐state fluid flow in a fractured porous body are summarized. The flow follows Darcy's law in matrix and Poiseuille's law in fractures. An infinite transversal permeability is considered for the fractures. A multi‐region boundary element method is used to derive a general pressure solution as a function of discharge through the fractures and the pressure and the normal flux on the domain boundary. The obtained solution fully accounts for the interaction and the intersection between fractures. A numerical procedure based on collocation method is presented to compute the unknowns on the boundaries and on the fractures. The numerical solution is validated by comparing with finite element solution or the results obtained for an infinite matrix. Pressure fields in the matrix are illustrated for domains containing several interconnected fractures, and mass balance at the intersection points is also checked.

The Sin Quyen Cu–Fe–Au–REE deposit (northern Vietnam): composition and formation conditions     

I.V. Gas’kov  Tran Tuan Anh  Tran Trong Hoa  Pham Thi Dung  P.A. Nevol’ko  Pham Ngoc Can 《Russian Geology and Geophysics》2012,53(5):442-456

The Sin Quyen Cu–Fe–Au–REE deposit is localized in the Proterozoic deposits of the Phan Xi Pang zone, northern Vietnam. The mineralization is formed by lenticular and sheet-like bodies occurring concordantly with the host rocks. Seventeen orebodies have been recognized in the deposit, which form an ore horizon up to 140 m in total thickness, about 2 km in strike, and up to 350 m in dip. The ores are of simple mineral composition: Au-rich copper and iron sulfides (chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite) and iron oxides (magnetite, hematite). Gold and silver are distributed unevenly in the ores: Their contents vary from hundredths and tenths of ppm to 1.8 ppm. Copper sulfide ores are the main concentrator of gold and silver. All ores are characterized by high REE contents, tens and hundreds of times exceeding the element clarkes. The highest contents have been revealed for Ce and La. Orthite is the main carrier of REE. No correlation between REE and ore elements of sulfide-oxide ores has been revealed, which points to the independent formation of the mineralization. Orebodies together with the host rocks underwent metamorphism at 500–600 to 630–685 °C and 3–7 kbar. The spatial association of the mineralization with amphibolites (metamorphosed basites) and the mineral composition of ores suggest that the Sin Quyen deposit is of Cyprian volcanogenic type.  相似文献   

Three-dimensional hydrostratigraphical modelling to support evaluation of recharge and saltwater intrusion in a coastal groundwater system in Vietnam     

Vu Thanh Tam  Okke Batelaan  Tran Thanh Le  Pham Quy Nhan 《Hydrogeology Journal》2014,22(8):1749-1762

Saltwater intrusion is generally related to seawater-level rise or induced intrusion due to excessive groundwater extraction in coastal aquifers. However, the hydrogeological heterogeneity of the subsurface plays an important role in (non-)intrusion as well. Local hydrogeological conditions for recharge and saltwater intrusion are studied in a coastal groundwater system in Vietnam where geological formations exhibit highly heterogeneous lithologies. A three-dimensional (3D) hydrostratigraphical solid model of the study area is constructed by way of a recursive classification procedure. The procedure includes a cluster analysis which uses as parameters geological formation, lithological composition, distribution depth and thickness of each lithologically distinctive drilling interval of 47 boreholes, to distinguish and map well-log intervals of similar lithological properties in different geological formations. A 3D hydrostratigraphical fence diagram is then generated from the constructed solid model and is used as a tool to evaluate recharge paths and saltwater intrusion to the groundwater system. Groundwater level and chemistry, and geophysical direct current (DC) resistivity measurements, are used to support the hydrostratigraphical model. Results of this research contribute to the explanation of why the aquifer system of the study area is almost uninfluenced by saltwater intrusion, which is otherwise relatively common in coastal aquifers of Vietnam.  相似文献   

Impacts of saline water irrigation and shrimp pond discharges on the surrounding waters of a coastal district in the Mekong delta of Vietnam     

Nguyen Tho  Roel Merckx  Vu Ngoc Ut 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2014,71(5):2015-2027

This study discusses impacts of saline water irrigation and shrimp pond discharges on the surrounding waters in the coastal Cai Nuoc district, Mekong delta of Vietnam where the landscape was re-shaped by shrimp aquaculture since 2000. Sampling took place at the end of the wet season of 2009 in the district (as aquaculture sites) and a nearby freshwater-dominated reference site. The aquaculture sites showed significantly higher salinities and organic loadings (biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand) but lower dissolved nutrients (NO₃–N, NO₂–N, and PO₄–P), total iron, and phytoplankton diversity compared to the reference site. Irrigation of saline waters has exacerbated salinization, leading to significant biological changes in the surrounding waters. Impacts of shrimp pond discharges on the surrounding waters were not very dramatic in terms of organic loadings and nutrients. The increase in organic loadings in the surrounding waters was mostly due to contribution from other pollution sources, such as domestic/industrial discharges and runoff. Enhanced salinization and changes in nutrients resulted in a decline in species richness and diversity, and a change in the evenness of the phytoplankton community. Besides, the composition of zooplankton and zoobenthos were also restructured. The mild impacts of shrimp pond discharges on the surrounding waters were primarily due to the limited inputs for shrimp aquaculture in this area.  相似文献   

Public perception of climate change and disaster preparedness: Evidence from the Philippines     

Vincenzo Bollettino  Tilly Alcayna-Stevens  Manasi Sharma  Philip Dy  Phuong Pham  Patrick Vinck 《Chemie der Erde / Geochemistry》2010

The Philippines is highly susceptible to both geophysical and climate-related disasters. This article explores Filipinos knowledge and perception of climate change and their association with what action Filipinos take to prepare for rapid onset natural hazards such as typhoons. Data for this study were collected from a nationally representative random survey of 5,184 adults conducted between March and April of 2017. Filipinos self-report relatively low levels of knowledge of climate change and cited increased temperatures, shifts in seasons, and heavier rains as the most likely consequences. Levels of disaster preparedness in the Philippines differ widely by region. Although most Filipinos perceive that natural hazards are a risk to them, only a third of Filipinos undertake measures to prepare for disasters. Filipinos who perceive climate-related changes directly impacting their households report taking greater action to prepare for disasters. Filipinos who believe they have been directly impacted by climate-related changes are also more likely to prepare for disasters, take planning actions, and undertake material actions to prepare, such as dwelling improvements. Other factors associated with disaster preparedness include gender, membership in an association, wealth, risk perception, and prior exposure to and losses due to disasters. The findings imply that, while posing different challenges and requiring different responses, adaptation to climate change and disaster preparedness are inherently associated and potentially mutually reinforcing. Policies and programs would arguably benefit from a more unified intervention framework that links climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness.  相似文献   

Self-Interacting Dark Matter in the SU(3)C⊗ SU(3)L ⊗ U(1)N models     

Nguyen Quynh Lan  Hoang Ngoc Long 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2006,305(3):225-233

We present the gauge models based on SU(3)_C⊗ SU(3)_L ⊗ U(1)_N (3-3-1) group which contain particles satisfying conditions for dark matter. There are two such models: one with exotic positive charged lepton and a variant with right-handed neutrinos. The scalar self-interacting dark matters are stable without imposing of new symmetry and should be weak-interacting. PACS Nos: 95.35.+d, 12.60.Fr, 14.80.Cp  相似文献   

A systematic regional approach for climate change adaptation to protect biodiversity     

Trevor H. Booth  Tom Jovanovic  Ngoc Son Ho  Craig Miller 《Climatic change》2013,117(4):757-768

Developing appropriate climate change adaptations to protect biodiversity requires taking into account the dynamics of agro-ecological and socio-economic change. A framework for approaching this problem was proposed, but not applied in detail, as part of a major biodiversity and climate change report prepared in Australia. This paper describes the first trial application of the method. It was applied across Vietnam as the Government is interested in identifying adaptation options and detailed data are readily available for its 65 provinces. The process involves identifying ecoregions and collating information for each region based on the current conditions and trends in biodiversity, population, income and agricultural production. Climate change scenarios are identified for each region, together with governance options. Educational needs and key adaptation actions are then identified for each region taking into account the agro-ecological and socio-economic input data. It is concluded that the framework could easily be applied in other countries and should assist the development of strategic adaptation options.  相似文献   

Predicting soil erosion hazard in Lattakia Governorate(W Syria)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The main objective of this study is to predict soil erosion in the Lattakia Governorate(WSyria)using the Water Erosion Prediction Project model(WEPP)and to compare the result with that of the RUSLE.Field survey and data collection were carried out,and 44 soil samples were analyzed.In addition,all the necessary input files were prepared for use in the WEPP model and RUSLE.Results show that more than of 80%of the locations studied experience slight to moderate erosion(less than 5 t/ha/y),whereas the rest of the locations experience severe soil erosion hazard.Moreover,the volume of runoff estimated by the WEPP model is in the range of 51e321 mm,and the R^2 between the simulated soil erosion and the predicted runoff reached 0.68.Interestingly,the R^2 between the WEPP model and RUSLE is 0.56,which indicates a good correlation between the two models.  相似文献   

Influence of phosphate on the oxidation kinetics of nanomolar Fe(II) in aqueous solution at circumneutral pH     

Yanpeng Mao  A. Ninh Pham  T. David Waite 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2011,75(16):4601-4610

The oxygenation kinetics of nanomolar concentrations of Fe(II) in aqueous solution have been studied in the absence and presence of millimolar concentrations of phosphate over the pH range 6.0-7.8. At each phosphate concentration investigated, the overall oxidation rate constant varied linearly with pH, and increased with increasing phosphate concentration. A model based on equilibrium speciation of Fe(II) was found to satisfactorily explain the results obtained. From this model, the rate constants for oxygenation of the Fe(II)-phosphate species FeH₂PO₄⁺, FeHPO₄ and FePO₄⁻ have been determined for the first time. FePO₄⁻ was found to be the most kinetically reactive species at circumneutral pH with an estimated oxygenation rate constant of (2.2 ± 0.2) × 10 M⁻¹ s⁻¹. FeH₂PO₄⁺ and FeHPO₄ were found to be less reactive with oxygen, with rate constants of (3.2 ± 2) × 10⁻² M⁻¹ s⁻¹ and (1.2 ± 0.8) × 10⁻¹ M⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively.  相似文献   

Geochemistry of surface waters in the vicinity of open pit mines at the Cay Cham deposit, Thai Nguyen province, northern Vietnam     

Pham Tich Xuan  Nguyen Van Pho  O. L. Gas’kova  S. B. Bortnikova 《Geochemistry International》2013,51(11):931-938

This study provides an assessment of the environmental impact of open pit mining operations at the Cay Cham titanomagnetite-ilmenite deposit (northern Vietnam). The results of surface water sampling indicate the formation of acid mine drainage and contamination of adjacent areas by heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Ni, and Mn). The acid mine drainage is produced by oxidation leaching of sulfide minerals associated with primary mineralization owing to the low neutralization potential of the natural waters in the humid environment of tropical rainforest. The study showed that alternating dry and wet seasons typical of this climatic region promote the generation of stored acidity leading to a sharp decrease in pH of drainage water during the wet season and result in the negative impacts of this mine on both flowing and stagnant surface waters.  相似文献
