Evaluation of the saltation process of bed materials by video imaging under altered bed roughness     

Anindita Bhattacharyya  Satya P. Ojha  Bijoy S. Mazumder 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2013,38(12):1339-1353

The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature of particle saltation and movement over the beds of fixed roughness from flume experiments. A series of experiments are carried out to study the saltation of individual sand particles of different sizes over rough beds under different flow conditions. A 3‐D acoustic Doppler velocimeter is used to record the fluid velocity components; subsequently, under different flow conditions, the images of released sand particles are recorded using high‐speed video imaging technique. Systematic analysis is made with regard to the forces acting on the grains and the variation of their magnitudes along the saltation trajectories of the grains. Relations between the saltation parameters, flow intensity and bed roughness are developed. The distributions of the angle of orientations during a single saltation follows almost a Gaussian distribution. The shape of the Gaussian distribution depends on the particle size and bed roughness. Particle collisions with rough beds and the resulting coefficients of restitution are also discussed. A theoretical framework is developed to compute the mean particle velocity considering the spin in the energy balance equation. Results of the detailed analysis using the imaging technique are much better than in previously reported studies. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

强地震前地下流体趋势异常的再探讨     

陆明勇  李志雄  刘天海  寇建新 《国际地震动态》2013,(10):21-23

重新探讨了强地震前地下流体趋势异常,获得了一些认识：地下流体异常不一定存在完整的趋势、短期和短临等异常类型,但趋势异常普遍存在;地下流体特别是地下水位的趋势性异常,其开始时的形态不一定为缓慢变化;地下流体趋势异常不一定具有时空转移特征;地下流体趋势异常可能为“共同前兆”.  相似文献   

The effects of climate change on historical and future extreme rainfall in Antalya,Turkey     

Abdullah Gokhan Yilmaz 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(12):2148-2162

Abstract

There is increasing concern that flood risk will be exacerbated in Antalya, Turkey as a result of global-warming-induced, more frequent and intensive, heavy rainfalls. In this paper, first, trends in extreme rainfall indices in the Antalya region were analysed using daily rainfall data. All stations in the study area showed statistically significant increasing trends for at least one extreme rainfall index. Extreme rainfall datasets for current (1970–1989) and future periods (2080–2099) were then constructed for frequency analysis using the peaks-over-threshold method. Frequency analysis of extreme rainfall data was performed using generalized Pareto distribution for current and future periods in order to estimate rainfall intensities for various return periods. Rainfall intensities for the future period were found to increase by up to 23% more than the current period. This study contributed to better understanding of climate change effects on extreme rainfalls in Antalya, Turkey.  相似文献   

AVO analysis with partial stacking to detect gas anomalies in the GÜEPAJÉ-3D project     

Juan C. Mosquera  Alfredo Ghisays  Luis Montes 《Geofísica Internacional》2013,52(3):249-260

We applied analysis AVO with partial stacking to an onshore gas field in order to detect gas at the top of the Ciénaga de Oro formation (FCO), by using seismic gathers of the Güepajé-3D project. The technique was supported by petrophysical analysis of the Ayombe-1 well.The sensitivity of seismic response to changes in the saturating fluid was evaluated by fluid substitution technique in an interval of the Ayombe-1 well. As a result, a class I AVO anomaly at the top of the FCO was observed, even though the gas and water responses were similar. After applying AVO with partial stack technique at the top of FCO, AVO class I anomalies were observed in the Ayombe-1 and Güepajé-1 gas wells and none in the dry Güepajé-3 well. In spite of being reported with gas, the results in the Güepajé-2 well indicated any to an incipient class I anomaly related to a weak seismic response associated to gas.When the technique was applied to the seismic volume of the Güepajé-3D Project, a map of the direct gas indicator was obtained. The map shows a high correlation with the structural surface at top of FCO. Lithic factors such as compaction, cementation and carbonate overlaying the FCO and variable thickness of partial and full saturated layers, may cause anomalies in zones unlikely to contain gas.  相似文献   

Monthly and annual effective infiltration coefficients in Dinaric karst: example of the Gradole karst spring catchment     

OGNJEN BONACCI 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(2):287-299

Abstract

The method of “historic event” is used to generate synthetic hyetographs based on statistical analysis of precipitation data. A synthetic triangular model was developed based on rainfall data of Zioud watershed (central Tunisia) with a standard time step of one hour. A database of 2799 observed rainfall events was used to provide statistical parameters for a simple triangular-shaped hyetograph model. The developed model provides a synthetic hyetograph in dimensionless form for different storm durations (2, 3 and 4 hours). For a given season and location, the variation of the first dimensionless moment with duration was relatively small, with an average range of 13% for all the stations. The resulting dimensionless hyetographs were found to be nearly identical when they were non-dimensionalized using the rainfall depth and duration, showing some seasonal effect and insignificant effects of the rainfall duration. A good agreement between simulated and observed hyetographs was achieved based on not only visual impressions, but also statistical numerical and graphical tests.  相似文献   

Impact of climatic change on river discharge in the driest region of Poland     

Piotr Ilnicki  Ryszard Farat  Krzysztof Górecki  Piotr Lewandowski 《水文科学杂志》2013,58(6):1117-1134

Abstract

Discharge in the Warta River in Poland has been analysed based on long series of measurements at the Gorzów Wielkopolski gauge station (covering the whole catchment area) and at Poznań (middle and upper catchment area), and the Note? River is characterized by the gauge station at Nowe Drezdenko. The annual mean discharge of the Warta River for the period 1981–2010 was equal to the average value for the last 163 years (209 m³ s^-1), and there was no significant change in comparison with the ratio of runoff in the summer and winter half-years. In the driest region of Poland, the climate has been described on the basis of precipitation and air temperature. The annual mean precipitation for 1981–2010 (544 mm) in the Warta River catchment area was the same as that for the period 1848–2010. The precipitation has been increasing in spring and winter, and decreasing in summer. There is a positive and very significant correlation (r = 0.705) between the annual discharge and annual precipitation totals. The annual mean air temperature has risen by 0.6°C between the periods 1848–1980 and 1981–2010.
