The Kalabsha region at the northwest side of Lake Aswan has been a subject of seismological and geodetic investigations since 1981, after the 5.5 M earthquake on 14 November. The subsequent seismic activity was related to the effect of water-level oscillations in the Lake. Geodetic measurements provided indications of regional stress and of the local character of vertical movements. As crustal dynamics represents a potential hazard with respect to the size of the lake, other techniques have been applied to the monitoring system. Repeated gravity test measurements were already made in the late 1980s and in 1994, but only in 1997 was a new epoch of long-term investigation initiated. The measured data showed sufficient accuracy of approx. 5 μGal. Already the first difference of the two campaigns of the years 1997 and 2000 showed a few important features. First of all, the temporal non-tidal changes of gravity exceed the level of confidence significantly. The changes were compared with older available geodetic data, and it was concluded, that the gravity changes were not related directly to the vertical movements of the surface. On the contrary, a water loading effect may be expected on the eastern side of the network, especially in the Kalabsha local net. The development of the stress field is considered to be the main source of observed gravity changes. In both the Kalabsha and Seiyal nets the changes differ according to the relative positions of the particular measuring points with respect to the faults.  相似文献

Hydromagnetic stability of a gas-liquid interface of coaxial cylinders     

Ahmed E. Radwan 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1989,159(2):279-293

The method of Fourier analysis of the light changes in the frequency-domain has been studied and discussed for 92 light curves of different types of eclipsing binary systems.Geometrical and physical elements of the systems under analysis have been listed and discussed, accordingly the advantages and disadvantages of the method is presented.The results show that the method is suitable for analysis of detached and most of the semi-detached systems, while for contact binaries and -Lyrae-type stars it has some difficulties. The light curve synthesis method is recommended.  相似文献   

The determination of sulfide in seawater by flow-analysis with voltammetric detection     

Radwan Al-Farawati  Constant M. G. van den Berg   《Marine Chemistry》1997,57(3-4)

Preliminary measurements of sulfide in seawater using cathodic stripping voltammetry and a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) in batch-mode showed that the sulfide peak decreased rapidly with time. This decrease was not caused by O₂, H₂O₂ or IO₃⁻, and the sulfide peak was not stabilised by trace metal additions. A home-made flow-cell was constructed to enable the determination of sulfide in seawater using voltammetry with an HMDE. A stable sulfide peak was obtained by flow-analysis with voltammetric detection, with a precision of 2.8% and detection limit of 0.5 nM at a 60 s adsorption time. Several thiol compounds were found to produce a peak at, or very close to, the peak potential for sulfide. Their interference was evaluated by allowing the sulfide peak in conventional (batch) voltammetry to decay. Comparative experiments showed that waste metallic mercury is responsible for removal of sulfide in batch-mode analysis due to formation of insoluble mercuric sulfide salts causing the rapid decay of the sulfide peak. The problem is circumvented by using flow-analysis to determine sulfide.  相似文献   

Stability of a compressible fluid cylinder ambient with a bounded conducting medium under general varying magnetic fields     

Ahmed E. Radwan 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1990,172(2):305-314

The stability of a compressible fluid cylinder pervaded by a longitudinal uniform magnetic field-ambient with a bounded conducting medium of negligible inertia penetrated with general varying vacuum magnetic fields has been developed. The stability criterion describing the stability characteristics of that model is derived and discussed analytically in general terms. The axial fields have always stabilizing influences. The azimuthal vacuum field has a destabilizing effect, however, it becomes minimal if the perturbed and the unperturbed vacuum fields are not orthogonal. The magnetodynamic instability of the fluid jet is modified in the presence of the fluid compressibility. The stabilizing influence due to the latter may be realized more clearly on utilizing the numerical methods for investigating the eigenvalue relation.Several reported works can be recovered as limiting cases with appropriate simplifications.  相似文献   

Nonaxisymmetric magnetogravitational instability of a streaming fluid cylinder ambient with a tenuous medium pervaded by transverse varying fields     

Ahmed E. Radwan 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1992,187(2):241-260

The stability of a self-gravitating streaming fluid cylinder acting upon the electromagnetic force ambient with a tenuous medium of negligible inertia but pervaded by a transverse varying fields, has been developed. The stability criterion is derived, discussed analytically and the results are verified numerically. The cylinder is purely self-gravitating unstable in small axisymmetric domain and stable in all the rest states. modes while the transverse field exterior the cylinder is stabilizing or destabilizing according to restrictions in the asymmetric modes and purely destabilizing in the symmetric one. The streaming has a strong destabilizing influence and that influence is independent of the kind of the perturbation and wavelengths. Both the streaming and the electromagnetic influences increase the gravitational axisymmetric unstable domain and shrink those of stability in the axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric perturbations. Moreover, the stabilizing character of the Lorentz force of some states, is physicaly interpreted, will not be able to suppress the gravitational instability because the gravitational instability of sufficiently long waves will persist.  相似文献   

Implementation of Rock Typing on Waterflooding Process During Secondary Recovery in Oil Reservoirs: A Case Study,El Morgan Oil Field,Gulf of Suez,Egypt     

Radwan  Ahmed E.  Nabawy  Bassem S.  Kassem  Ahmed A.  Hussein  Walid S. 《Natural Resources Research》2021,30(2):1667-1696

Waterflooding is one of the most common secondary recovery methods in the oil and gas industry. Globally, this process sometimes suffers a technical failure and inefficiency. Therefore, a better understanding of geology, reservoir characteristics, rock typing and discrimination, hydraulic flow units, and production data is essential to analyze reasons and mechanisms of water injection failure in the injection wells. Water injection failure was reported in the Middle Miocene Hammam Faraun reservoir at El Morgan oil field in the Gulf of Suez, where two wells have been selected as injector’s wells. In the first well (A1), the efficiency of injection was not good, whereas in the other analog A2 well good efficiency was assigned. Therefore, it is required to assess the injection loss in the low efficiency well, where all aspects of the geological, reservoir and production data of the studied wells were integrated to get a complete vision for the reasons of injection failure. The available data include core analysis data (vertical and horizontal permeabilities, helium porosity, bulk density, and water and oil saturations), petrographical studies injection and reservoir water chemistry, reservoir geology, production, and injection history. The quality of the data was examined and a set of reliable X–Y plots between the available data were introduced and the reservoir quality in both wells was estimated using reservoir quality index, normalized porosity index, and flow zone indicator. Integration and processing of the core and reservoir engineering data indicate that heterogeneity of the studied sequence was the main reason for the waterflooding inefficiency at the El Morgan A1 well. The best reservoir quality was assigned to the topmost part of the reservoir, which caused disturbance of the flow regime of reservoir fluids. Therefore, it is clearly indicated that rock typing and inadequate injection perforation strategy that has not been aligned with accurate hydraulic flow units are the key control parameters in the waterflooding efficiency.
