The sound-producing mechanism of booming sand has long been a pending problem in the blown sand physics. Based on the earlier researches, the authors collected some silent sand samples from Teng- ger Desert, Australian Desert, Kuwait Desert, beaches of Hainan Island and Japanese coast as well as the soundless booming sand samples from the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang to make washing ex- periments. In the meantime the chemical corrosion experiment of glass micro-spheres, surface coating experiment and SEM examination were also conducted. The experimental results show that the sound production of booming sand seems to have nothing to do with the presence of SiO2 gel on the surface of sand grains and unrelated to the surface chemical composition of sand grains but is related to the resonance cavities formed by porous (pit-like) physical structure resulting from a number of factors such as wind erosion, water erosion, chemical corrosion and SiO2 gel deposition, etc. Its resonance mechanism is similar to that of Hemholz resonance cavity. Under the action of external forces, nu- merous spherical and sand grains with smooth surface and porous surface are set in motion and rub with each other to produce extremely weak vibration sound and then become audible sound by human ears through the magnification of surface cavity resonance. However the booming sands may lose their resonance mechanism and become silent sand due to the damping action caused by the invasion of finer particles such as dust and clay into surface holes of sand grains. Therefore, clearing away fine pollutants on the quartz grain surface is an effective way to make silent sand emit audible sound.  相似文献   

Effects of surface characteristics on infiltration patterns in an arid shrub desert   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Precipitation is often the sole source of water replenishment in arid and semi‐arid areas and, thus, plays a pertinent role in sustaining desert ecosystems. Revegetation over 40 years using mainly Artemisia ordosica and Caragana korshinskii at Shapotou Desert Experimental Research Station near Lanzhou, China, has established a dwarf‐shrub and microbiotic soil crust cover on the stabilized sand dunes. The redistribution of infiltrated moisture through percolation, root extraction, and evapotranspiration pathways was investigated. Three sets of time‐domain reflectometry (TDR) probes were inserted horizontally at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 cm depths below the ground surface in a soil pit. The three sets of TDR probes were installed in dwarf‐shrub sites of A. ordosica and C. korshinskii community with and without a microbiotic soil crust cover, and an additional set was placed in a bare sand dune area that had neither vegetation nor a microbiotic soil crust present. Volumetric soil moisture content was recorded at hourly intervals and used in the assessment of infiltration for the different surface covers. Infiltration varied greatly, from 7·5 cm to more than 45 cm, depending upon rainfall quantity and soil surface conditions. In the shrub community area without microbiotic soil crust cover, infiltration increased due to preferential flow associated with root tunnels. The microbiotic soil crust cover had a significant negative influence on the infiltration for small rainfall events (～10 mm), restricting the infiltration depth to less than 20 cm and increasing soil moisture content just beneath the soil profile of 10 cm, whereas it was not as strong or clear for larger rainfall events (～60 mm). For small rainfall events, the wetting front depth for the three kinds of surface cover was as follows: shrub community without microbiotic soil crust > bare area > shrub community with microbiotic soil crust. In contrast, for large rainfall events, infiltration was similar in shrub communities with and without microbiotic soil crust cover, but significantly higher than measured in the bare area. Soil water extraction by roots associated with evapotranspiration restricted the wetting front penetration after 1 to 3 h of rainfall. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

地震子波旁瓣对薄砂体识别的影响     

黄军斌  高利军  高勇 《应用地球物理》2007,4(2)

我们研究中国西部某盆地一些气田时,发现地震子波旁瓣在很大程度上影响着薄砂体的识别和解释。该区目的层段H段地层中,辫状河流相薄砂岩储层与湖相泥岩成互层。在地震资料上,来自H段地层顶面的强波谷总跟随一个弱波峰(源于子波旁瓣),此弱波峰与薄砂体顶面反射波峰相互叠合,掩盖了砂体反射,造成了薄砂体识别和解释的困难。为此,我们设计了一套正演模型,利用不同频率的零相位雷克子波合成人工地震剖面,来研究砂体位置、频率与地震子波旁瓣效应的关系,以及振幅类属性与薄砂体关系。提出处于高位置的砂体反射形态清晰,易于识别解释;认为通过对比不同带通滤波处理后的地震资料,可很好辨别旁瓣效应和砂体反射;同时发现振幅类属性可作为薄砂体识别表征参数,可有效合理地描述砂体分布范围和特征。  相似文献

南京砂的液化与判别   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9  

黄永林 《世界地震工程》2001,17(1):69-74

南京砂是一种以片状颗粒成分为主的粉细砂，与土动力学试验中常用的圆形颗粒标准石英砂有一定的差别。片状颗粒成分使得南京砂具有各向异性的性质，其水平向强度小于垂直向强度。因此，在同样的标贯击数下，南京砂比标准砂易于液化，在采用基于标准砂的研究结果作为液化判别标准时，可能会高估这种砂的抗液化能力。文章在总结南京砂液化研究资料的基础上，阐明了南京砂液化的特点，提出了南京砂液化的判别式。  相似文献
