Hyperconcentrated flow is a natural phenomenon, which is widely observed on the Loess Plateau of China[1,2]. So far, much research has been done with hyperconcentrated flows in China[1―7], although hy-perconcentrated flows are also observed in many riv-ers in other countries[8―10]. In the monograph edited by Chien[11], hyperconcnetrated flows were studied in depth, involving the physical properties, resistance, sediment-carry behavior and channel-forming pro- cesses.

Gold Deposition by Boiling or Cooling Without Boiling: Genesis of the Sangchon Gold Deposits, Hadong Area, South Korea     

Maeng-Eon PARK  Kyu-Youl SUNG  Seong-Taek YUN 《世界地质(英文版)》2001,4(2)

In order to understand the mechanism(s) of gold precipitation in the anorthosite- hosted Sangchon gold deposits in the Hadong area, Korea, chemical speciation and reaction path calculations were accomplished by geochemical modeling.The modeling consisted of three- step procedures: reaction with anorthosite, then the simple cooling of the reacted fluid,and finally the boiling of metalliferous fluid. The principal vein minerals of the Sangchon deposits consist of quartz, sericite,kaolinite, pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and acanthite. The sulfide mineralization is typically zoned from pyrite (preferentially at vein margins) to galena and sphalerite (toward vein center). Electrum is intimately associated with pyrite + chalcopyrite and sphalerite. By comparing the results of modeling with the observed mineral assemblages and paragenesis,the most appropriate evolution path of ore fluids was suggested as follow: reaction of a single fluid with anorthosite at 300℃,then the isobaric cooling of the fluid at temperatures from 2500° to 100℃3 , and then the boiling and cooling of the fluid due to the decrease of pressure and temperature. Calculations also show that all of the observed alteration minerals formed due to fluid - anorthosite interaction at early period, whereas most of sulfides and electrum were precipitated mainly due to cooling.The abundance of gold in veins depends critically on the ratio of total base metals plus iron to sulfide in the aqueous phase,because gold is transported as Au(HS)2- whose solubility is very sensitive to the sulfide activity. Our results of geochemical modeling generally fit to the observed mineral assemblages and mineral composition, indicating the usefulness of numerical simulation for elucidating the genesis of gold deposits.  相似文献   

Infrared spectra of cooling flow galaxies     

W. Jaffe  M. N. Bremer  P. P. van der Werf 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2001,324(2):443-449

We have taken K -band spectra covering seven cooling flow clusters. The spectra show many of the 1-0S transitions of molecular hydrogen, as well as some of the higher vibrational transitions, and some lines of ionized hydrogen. The line ratios allow us to conclude that the rotational states of the first excited vibrational state are in approximate local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), so that densities above 10⁵ cm⁻³ are likely, but there is evidence that the higher vibrational states are not in LTE. The lack of pressure balance between the molecular gas and the ionized components emphasizes the need for dynamic models of the gas. The ratios of the ionized to molecular lines are relatively constant but lower than from starburst regions, indicating that alternative heating mechanisms are necessary.  相似文献   

EVALUATING THE SIMILARITY OF GEOGRAPHIC FLOWS*     

C. Michael Costanzo  Nathan Gale 《The Professional geographer》1984,36(2):182-187

The problem of comparing geographic flows is explored. We present a simple statistical method and compare it to a cartographic method. Each is applied to a specific example in which migration flows are contrasted with fiscal transfers. The analysis suggests that while neither method is adequate by itself, there might be great advantages to using them in tandem.  相似文献   

Indirect estimation of ungauged peak discharges in a bedrock channel with reference to design discharge selection     

Paul A. Carling  Tamir Grodek 《水文研究》1994,8(6):497-511

Geomorphological evidence and recent trash lines were used as stage indicators in a step-backwater computer model of high discharges through an ungauged bedrock channel. The simulation indicated that the peak discharge from the 26.7 m² catchment was close to 150m³s^?1 during the passage of Hurricane Charlie in August 1986. This estimate can be compared with an estimate of 130–160 m³s^?1 obtained using the Flood Studies Report (FSR) unit hydrograph methodology. Other palaeostage marks indicate that higher stages have occurred at an earlier time associated with a discharge of 200 m³s^?1. However, consideration of both the geometry of a plunge pool and transport criteria for bedrock blocks in the channel indicates that floods since 1986 have not exceeded 150 m³s^?1. Given that the estimated probable maximum flood (PMF) calculated from revised FSR procedure is at least 240 m³s^?1, it is concluded that compelling evidence for floods equal to the PMF is lacking. Taking into consideration the uncertainty of the discharge estimation, the 1986 flood computed using field evidence has a minimum return period of 100 years using the FSR procedure. This may be compared with a return period for the same event in the neighbouring gauged River Greta of > 100 years and a rainfall return period of 190 years. In as much as discharges of similar order to FSR estimates are indicated, it is concluded (a) that regional geomorphological evidence and flood simulation within ungauged catchments may be useful as a verification for hydrological estimates of recent widespread flood magnitude and (b) that palaeohydraulic computation can be useful in determining the magnitude of the local maximum [historic] flood when determining design discharges for hydraulic structures within specific catchments.  相似文献   

Impacts of surface mine valley fills on headwater floods in eastern Kentucky     

Jonathan?D.?PhillipsEmail author 《Environmental Geology》2004,45(3):367-380

The potential impacts of valley fills associated with mountaintop removal/valley fill (MTR/VF) coal mining on downstream flooding in the coalfields of eastern Kentucky and adjacent states are a subject of public debate and scientific uncertainty. This study explored two aspects of this issue. First, hydrologic indices of relative runoff production and surface and subsurface flow detention were applied to conditions typical of headwater and low-order drainage basins in eastern Kentucky. Results show that there is a clear risk of increased flooding (greater runoff production and less surface flow detention) following MTR/VF operations, and suggest that, on balance, valley fills are more likely to increase rather than decrease flood potential. However, there is a wide range of outcomes, qualitatively and quantitatively. Flood risks can be increased or decreased, and the degree of either may vary markedly. The effects of MTR/VF mining on downstream peak flows are highly contingent on local pre- and post-mining conditions, and it would be unwise to apply generalizations to specific sites. Second, the occurrence of flash floods downstream of MTR/VF operations when nearby unmined areas did not flood or had less severe floods has frequently been explained (without supporting data) in terms of locally greater precipitation. The likelihood of such short-range variability of storm precipitation is evaluated by applying the state probability function to NEXRAD radar estimates of precipitation for two 2001 storms which produced flash floods in eastern Kentucky. The spatial structure of the storm precipitation indicates that at the scale of the analysis (pixel size of approximately 2 km) large local variations in storm precipitation are unlikely—that is, the probability of nearby hollows or low-order drainage basins receiving substantially different storm precipitation totals is low.  相似文献   

Seasonality indices for regionalizing low flows   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

G. Laaha  G. Blschl 《水文研究》2006,20(18):3851-3878

In this study we examine three seasonality indices for their potential in regionalizing low flows. The indices are seasonality histograms (SHs) that represent the monthly distribution of low flows, a cyclic seasonality index (SI) that represents the average timing of low flows within a year, and the seasonality ratio (SR), which is the ratio of summer and winter low flows. The rationale of examining these indices is the recognition that summer and winter low flows are subject to important differences in the underlying hydrological processes. We analyse specific low flow discharges q₉₅, i.e. the specific discharge that is exceeded on 95% of all days at a particular site. Data from 325 subcatchments in Austria, ranging in catchment area from 7 to 963 km², are used in the analysis. In a first step, three seasonality indices are compared. Their spatial patterns can be interpreted well on hydrological grounds. In a second step, the indices are used to classify the catchments into two, three, and eight regions based on different combinations of the indices. In a third step, the value of the seasonality indices for low flow regionalization is examined by comparing the cross‐validation performance of multiple regressions between low flows and catchment characteristics. The regressions make use of the three seasonality‐based classifications. The results indicate that grouping the study area into two regions and three regions and separate regressions in each region gives the best performance. A global regression model yields the lowest performance and a global regression model that uses different calibration coefficients in each of the eight regions only performs slightly better. This suggests that separate regression models in each of the regions are to be preferred over a global model in order to represent differences in the way catchment characteristics are related to low flows.

Stereophotogrammetry of archive data and topographic approaches to debris‐flow torrent measurements: calculation of channel‐sediment states and a partial sediment budget for Manival torrent (Isère,France)     

S. Veyrat‐Charvillon  M. Memier 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2006,31(2):201-219

This paper focuses on a topographic methodology to characterize the amount of sediment stored in channels and the use of historical photographs for aerial survey by stereophotogrammetry, as part of wider research on debris‐flow magnitude prediction. The topographic methodology uses equidistant four‐point cross‐sections along the long profile of the channel. Each cross‐section is representative of a 50‐m reach of the channel. To calculate the volume of each reach, the difference is calculated between a reference level and the topographic surface. The reference level is the lowest level where the debris flow can erode, and in the current method this level is estimated from fixed points along the long profile of the channel. The accuracy of the method has been estimated by comparing results of a detailed topographic survey, with a standard deviation corresponding to about 6 per cent of the total calculated sediment volume. This topographic methodology has been used on aerial photographs by photogrammetry. This tool was applied to photographs taken on 12 past dates. The scales of the archive photographs used range from 1:3000 to 1:30 000, but results are consistent and permit us to calculate sediment states of the channel for different past dates with an uncertainty of about 6 per cent of the total volume. The application of the technique to the Manival debris‐flow torrent has permitted us to propose some partial sediment budgets and erosion‐rate estimates. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
