Dense gas-particle jets similar to collapsing eruption columns were generated by large-scale experiments. The column collapse resulted in a ground-hugging current forming stratified layers with bedding similar to natural pyroclastic density current deposits. At the impact of the collapsing column on the ground, a thick, massive bed was formed due to a high sedimentation rate that dumped turbulence due to high clast concentration. Down-current, flow expansion favoured turbulence and dilute gas-particle current that formed thin rippled layers deposited under traction. Experiments fed with fine ash (median size 0·066 mm) formed deposits without tractional structures, because fine particles, as other sedimentary fine material, is cohesive and exposes a limited surface to the shear stress. Experimental outcomes show that massive beds are formed where the sedimentation rate per unit width S_rw exceeds the bedload transportation rate Q_b by two orders of magnitude. A lower ratio generates traction at the base of the flow and formation of shear structures that increase in wavelength and height with a decreasing flux. This study presents a diagram that provides a useful addition for facies analysis of pyroclastic density currents, provided that deposits representing sustained sedimentation can be identified in the field. In the diagram a decrease in the S_rw/Q_b ratio corresponds to an increase in bedform size. Application of the diagram for hazard assessment purposes allows the reconstruction of the mass eruption rate of the Agnano–Monte Spina eruption at Campi Flegrei, which is the main variable defining the intensity of past eruptions, and of the Bingham rheology of the massive underflow of the Mercato pyroclastic density current at Vesuvius.  相似文献

内蒙古大青山地区是典型的早前寒武纪造山带根部岩石出露区,大量下地壳高级变质-深熔岩石中保留了丰富的流变构造样式,是开展部分熔融岩石流变行为研究的天然实验室。本文对内蒙古大青山地区雪海沟和大庙-忽鸡沟构造带内变形岩石开展了宏观、微观构造解析、EBSD组构以及锆石U-Pb年代学研究,并结合前人研究成果,考查了不同构造层次、不同熔融程度岩石的流变特征及其与造山过程的耦合关系。研究结果表明,雪海沟至大庙-忽鸡沟地区体现了造山带地壳结构层次由深至浅的特点。深部构造层次（雪海沟）高级深熔条件下,宏观上以各种形式的浅色脉体参与岩石流变,深熔熔体夹矿物颗粒流形成网状的断续条带状构造。微观上斜长石受扩散蠕变、颗粒边界滑移和颗粒流动影响,一般没有明显的晶内变形组构,CPO（晶格优选方位）发育不明显。在中深部构造层次（大庙-忽鸡沟）深熔作用相对较弱,宏观上形成平行片麻理的较规则条纹/条带构造。微观上斜长石发生位错蠕变,CPO发育明显。此外,角闪石在不同构造层次下均表现出位错蠕变特征,结晶优选方向受深熔作用影响不大。上述变形样式和机制,体现了造山带根部高级变质-深熔岩石在固-液两相介质中,发生水平层状粘-塑性流动变形特点。随后深熔岩石的塑性流动变形伴随加厚地壳的伸展减薄-隆升过程而逐渐硬化并遭受剥露。  相似文献

We present direct observations and monitoring data of a hyperconcentrated flow that occurred along La Lumbre ravine, one of the most active channels of Volcán de Colima in Mexico. Flow properties were inferred from video images and seismic data recorded by a geophone installed outside the channel. We collected flow samples 400 m upstream from the monitoring station and analyzed the variation of sediment concentration and grain‐size distribution over time. A joint analysis of hydrological (i.e. flow velocity, wetted perimeter) and rheological (i.e. yield stress τ_y and dynamic viscosity μ_m ) parameters was performed to characterize the flow. Different flow regimes and sediment transport processes were identified and analyzed in comparison with both the amplitude and spectral features of the seismic signal. We observed differing sediment concentrations at the same discharge, suggesting a decoupling between sediment transport processes and discharge for low‐magnitude flows. A straightforward correlation was found between the amplitude of the seismic signal and the sediment concentration, and a value of 1.8 × 10^?3 mm/s was identified that can be used as a threshold to recognize the hyperconcentrated phase of the flow. This information was tested on the complete seismic dataset gathered at La Lumbre ravine during the 2015 rainy season. We identified the transition from streamflow to hyperconcentrated flow (and/or vice versa) in 16 low‐magnitude events and we validated this result using the video recordings. The correlation between seismic amplitude and sediment concentration is valid at La Lumbre ravine but would need to be tested in other locations for the development of automatic flow classification methods. This work contributes to standardized seismic methods for characterizing flow processes in volcanic environments, also for the development of lahar early warning systems.

菱形石香肠简单剪切成因模式及其构造流变计   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

张志勇  曾佐勋 《地球学报》2006,27(6):537-542

菱形石香肠虽常被作为指示剪切作用的标志,但其形成过程和流变学意义并未完全清楚。纯剪切模式作为一种已被认可的成因模式表明菱形石香肠也可能在简单剪切作用下形成。本文从石香肠与基质的流变差异出发,提出了菱形石香肠的简单剪切成因模式,建立了简单直观的平面模型,即方形石香肠置于方形基质中,后将其简单剪切变形分解为旋转和纯剪变形两步,并利用有限变形几何学知识,计算出理论的菱形石香肠剪切角和层面转动角,其与有限元数字模拟的实验结果还是较接近的。进一步的理论分析给出了利用菱形石香肠几何学参数(剪切角和层面转动角)求取石香肠与基质粘度比的方法,即菱形石香肠构造流变计,并运用它在湖北铁山地区获得石香肠的粘度是基质的4.76倍,菱形石香肠构造流变计扩展了香肠构造流变计的适用范围,提供了在野外快捷测算岩石粘度比的途径。  相似文献
