New observations on the geomorphology and origins of Mountain Lake,Virginia     

Jon C. Cawley  Bruce C. Parker  Lee J. Perren 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2001,26(4):429-440

Mountain Lake is the only natural lake of significance in the unglaciated southern Appalachian Highlands. It is located near the summit of Salt Pond Mountain, Giles County Virginia, at an elevation of 1177 m. It is underlain by Ordovician and Silurian non‐calcareous shale and sandstone of the Martinsburg, Juniata and Clinch formations. Historical (250 years) and sediment (6000 years) records suggest that the size of the lake has varied periodically. In the 1930s lake origin was proposed as due to valley damming by a lateral landslide (Hutchinson and Pickford, 1932) or damming by scree (Sharp, 1933). A later theory modified the landslide hypothesis to the primarily vertical collapse of a canyon feature in the Clinch (Parker et al., 1975). Fracture trace analysis now reveals a regional lineation feature associated with the lake. This feature is present surficially both downgradient from the lake to the northwest, and upgradient to the southeast. Sonar bathymetry and diver reconnaissance show it expressed as a (relatively sediment‐free) narrow open crevice in the deepest (33 m) portion of the lake, probably a fault. Hydrologic observation and resistivity suggest preferential water movement along this fracture, as well as leakage directly from the lake. The present study suggests conduit erosion within this feature and periodic vertical downsettling of overlying Clinch material as the primary mechanism of lake origin and water‐level fluctuations through time.

An experimental study on the burrowing activity of river crabs on subsurface water movement and piping erosion     

Yuichi Onda  Naoko Itakura 《Geomorphology》1997,20(3-4)

The effects of the burrowing activity of river crabs on subsurface water movement and piping erosion were studied through a flume experiment. Cohesive field soil was used and constant fluvial head was applied. During the experiments with river crabs, burrows were excavated downwards under the groundwater level. At the outlet of each burrow, the crabs excavated pellets of soil and stacked them in piles, in the form of cone mounds. These mounds acted as effective dams for subsurface outflow, but they sometimes collapsed. The roofs of the burrows also caved in occasionally, whereby the crabs would excavate new burrows. The burrowing activity of the crabs led to marked erosion. In contrast, no marked erosion was observed in experiments without crabs, indicating that piping erosion occurs through the assistance of burrowing activity. It was observed that burrowing activity and piping erosion was pronounced when the hydraulic head was not significantly high (0.21–0.25). Analysis of the potential distribution of the soil mass indicated that the head loss close to the burrow was small in the case of experiments with crabs. This suggests that the burrow enhances rapid discharge of subsurface water. Consequently, burrowing activity was found to play an important role in piping erosion and rapid discharge of subsurface water.  相似文献

无黏性土管涌出砂及流量研究

管涌对堤防工程的危害极为严重,人类对管涌的认识也逐渐加深。目前,对管涌破坏开始的条件及其破坏后通道贯通的后果了解较多,然而,因其破坏及发展机制的复杂性,对于管涌发生后涌砂及流量的研究并不深入。通过自行设计的室内模型,改变上覆黏土的厚度对3组土性相同的无黏性土试样进行试验。对测压管水头、通道范围、涌砂量和流量等进行对比分析,研究孔隙率、渗透系数以及流量的变化规律,发现涌砂随时间变化满足非线性关系--Boltzmann模型。最后,利用渗透系数与孔隙率以及孔隙率与累计涌砂量的关系,推导并验证了流量随时间变化的理论公式。这对于认识管涌和有效控制管涌发展以及减灾避难有着非常重要的意义。  相似文献

A finite element method for localized erosion in porous media with applications to backward piping in levees     

Andrea Francesco Rotunno  Carlo Callari  Francesco Froiio 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2019,43(1):293-316

This paper presents a computational method able to effectively model both the simultaneous processes typically observed in backward erosion piping, ie, the pipe tip propagation and the conduit cross-section enlargement. The numerical method is based on the novel formulation of a problem of localized erosion along a line propagating in a multidimensional porous medium. In this line, a conduit with evolving transverse size is embedded, which conveys a multiphase flow. The two systems, porous medium and pipe, are bridged by exchange terms of multiphase fluid mass and by a shared fluid pressure field. On the contrary, different fields are considered to describe flows, which are assumed as Darcian in the porous medium and turbulent in the conduit. These two flows drive pipe propagation and enlargement, respectively, as modeled by means of proper erosion kinetic laws. The corresponding numerical formulation is based on the combination between one- and multidimensional finite elements, to model the erosion conduit and the porous medium, respectively. Several simulations are proposed to demonstrate the ability of the proposed approach in reproducing available experimental data of real-scale tests on levees. Our results point out the crucial role played by the combined influence of pipe propagation and enlargement, as well as of three-dimensional (3D) effects. We also assess the mesh independence of the proposed numerical solution, particularly as concerns the calculated pipe propagation history.  相似文献
