Three‐dimensional flow structure around small‐scale bedforms in a simulated gravel‐bed environment     

Mark Lawless  Andr Robert 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2001,26(5):507-522

Pebble clusters are common small‐scale morphological features in gravel‐bed rivers, occupying as much as 10 per cent of the bed surface. Important links exist between the presence of pebble clusters and the development of flow structures. These links are poorly understood at the three‐dimensional level. Particularly neglected has been the effect of clusters on the lateral flow characteristics. A laboratory study was conducted using a hydraulic flume, within which simulated pebble clusters were superimposed onto a plane bed of gravel material. High‐resolution three‐dimensional flow data were collected above the bed at two different flow depths using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. The results present evidence of the importance of lateral flow in the development of turbulent flow structure. Narrow regions of high lateral and downstream turbulence intensity exist to both sides of clusters and in a three‐dimensional separation zone in their lee. This may indicate the presence of horseshoe‐type vortical structures analogous to those identified in less hydraulically rough environments. However, it is likely that these structures are more complicated given the mutual interference of the surrounding medium. The lateral flow was also identified as a key component in the upwelling identified by other authors in the lee of pebble clusters. The results of the vertical flow analysis confirm the hypothesis that six regions with distinct vertical flow characteristics exist above clusters: flow acceleration up the stoss‐side of the cluster; recirculation behind the cluster in the wake region; vortex shedding from the pebble crest and shear layer; flow reattachment downstream of the cluster; upwelling of flow downstream of the point of reattachment; and recovery of flow.

湖南境内沿倾向发育较深的脉状矿床的地质特征及规律   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

黄镜友 《湖南地质》1995,14(1):44-48

湖南省境内有些脉状矿床，沿倾向延伸的长度为水平长度的数倍，而且还有侧伏规律。若脉状矿床发育于缓倾角的断层带上时，矿脉往往受断层上盘板岩、断层带上的泥质的或硅质的断层胶结物所控制，矿脉则发育于其下面；若矿脉发育于高角度的断裂裂隙中时，则矿脉往往是相互平行的多条，且呈雁行排列。这些特点和规律，对地质勘查具有指导意义。  相似文献

对穿时普遍性的解释   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

姚华舟 《地球科学进展》1993,8(5):81-87

穿时是沉积地层的基本属性,其根本原因是地层的形成作用,即沉积作用本身。有沉积作用就有穿时(侧向加积);或者小范围内不穿时但大范围内必穿时(纵向加积)。海水进退只能影响穿时的具体形式而不是穿时的本质原因或必要条件。板块的运移和增生不仅造成了沉积地层的穿时,还造成了火山地层的穿时。这种穿时与沉积作用直接引起的穿时有本质不同,本文称之为构造穿时。  相似文献

I. INTRODUCTIONA discharge of 100--200 m3 / s is needed to be diverted from a tidal reach and utilized as cooling water for a Droposed power plant in the Yangtze Estuary. The diversionchannel is divided into two parts by a levee along the river bank, an open channel stretchinside the levee is connected with a trench dredged on the floodplain, as shown in Pig. 1.Since the flow and sediment regimes in these two stretches are different, analysis is madeseparately for each of them.11.

Strain segmentation and lateral membrane deformation rate of the subducted Ryukyu slab     

LingYun  Chiao 《Island Arc》1993,2(2):94-103

Abstract Focal mechanisms of intermediate-depth earthquakes within the subducted Ryukyu slab indicate a systematic pattern of down-dip extension in the northern part under Kyushu. These mechanisms switch rapidly around the Tokara channel to down-dip compression in the southern part toward Taiwan. This intriguing pattern of strain segmentation, together with the differences between the slab geometry of the northern and southern parts, has raised the question of whether stress segmentation, as defined possibly by a tear fault, might exist in the slab. However the Ryukyu trench has a concave oceanward shape in the northern segment while it is convex in the southern oceanward part toward Taiwan. The inflection zone is located around the Tokara channel. The concept of Gaussian curvature of a curved surface suggests that the along-arc variation of the geometric configuration of a subducted slab is related to the shape of the trench. This is in order to accommodate the lateral membrane deformation of the slab as the oceanic lithosphere subducts from a spherical shell to the geometry delineated by the Wadati-Benioff zone. The membrane deformation regime of the subducted Ryukyu slab and its relation with the trench geometry was examined by assuming that the subduction be modelled by the flow field of a thin viscous sheet. A projection operator was utilized to compute the membrane strain-rate tensor of an arbitrary non-Euclidean surface. Numerical experiments indicated that the northern segment of the slab was dominated by lateral compression and down-dip extension and the southern part by lateral extension and down-dip compression. This transition is sharply located near the Tokara channel. These patterns were compatible with what had been observed from studies of focal mechanisms, suggesting that the strain segmentation might be controlled, at least in part, by the lateral membrane deformation within the slab due to the trench shape in this subduction zone. The slab geometry was predicted by minimizing the integrated total dissipation power; this revealed distinct features that were consistent with observations. This implies that the slab geometry may also be affected by the membrane deformation in a systematic fashion.  相似文献
