Storm surge due to hurricanes and tropical storms can result in significant loss of life, property damage, and long-term damage to coastal ecosystems and landscapes. Computer modeling of storm surge can be used for two primary purposes: forecasting of surge as storms approach land for emergency planning and evacuation of coastal populations, and hindcasting of storms for determining risk, development of mitigation strategies, coastal restoration and sustainability.Storm surge is modeled using the shallow water equations, coupled with wind forcing and in some events, models of wave energy. In this paper, we will describe a depth-averaged (2D) model of circulation in spherical coordinates. Tides, riverine forcing, atmospheric pressure, bottom friction, the Coriolis effect and wind stress are all important for characterizing the inundation due to surge. The problem is inherently multi-scale, both in space and time. To model these problems accurately requires significant investments in acquiring high-fidelity input (bathymetry, bottom friction characteristics, land cover data, river flow rates, levees, raised roads and railways, etc.), accurate discretization of the computational domain using unstructured finite element meshes, and numerical methods capable of capturing highly advective flows, wetting and drying, and multi-scale features of the solution.The discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method appears to allow for many of the features necessary to accurately capture storm surge physics. The DG method was developed for modeling shocks and advection-dominated flows on unstructured finite element meshes. It easily allows for adaptivity in both mesh (h) and polynomial order (p) for capturing multi-scale spatial events. Mass conservative wetting and drying algorithms can be formulated within the DG method.In this paper, we will describe the application of the DG method to hurricane storm surge. We discuss the general formulation, and new features which have been added to the model to better capture surge in complex coastal environments. These features include modifications to the method to handle spherical coordinates and maintain still flows, improvements in the stability post-processing (i.e. slope-limiting), and the modeling of internal barriers for capturing overtopping of levees and other structures. We will focus on applications of the model to recent events in the Gulf of Mexico, including Hurricane Ike.  相似文献

地层不整合遮挡油气藏地质储量计算新方法及其应用     

袁丽 《地球科学与环境学报》2011,33(2):163-167

从几何学的观点出发,针对纯油藏和具有气顶的油气藏,采用单储系数、横截面面积与油层横向分布长度三者乘积的方式改进采用单储系数、含油面积与油层厚度三者乘积方式的传统容积法,提出相应的地层不整合遮挡油气藏地质储量计算新公式,并根据油气藏的特点提出水平井钻遇油气藏厚度的预测公式。地层不整合遮挡油气藏的地质储量计算目前主要采用容积法,这类方法不仅计算繁琐,而且不确定因素较多;改进后的新方法计算简单方便,理论性更强,存在的不确定因素显著减少。采用新方法在高青油田高424块高424-1井区进行了实践应用。实践表明:改进的新方法适用于地层不整合遮挡油气藏的地质储量计算及预测水平井钻遇油气藏厚度。  相似文献

不同预处理方法对尕海沉积物粒度测试的影响   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

李华勇  潘安定  明庆忠 《干旱区地理》2011,(4)

湖泊沉积物粒度是研究湖区古环境演化的一个重要代用指标,粒度测量结果与预处理方法密切相关。从柴达木尕海湖岩心钻孔取48个样品,采用五种预处理方法,运用马尔文2000激光粒度仪进行粒度分析。结果显示经过预处理后平均粒径有不同程度的变细。单独加入H2O2除去样品中的有机质后,粒度分散变细最为明显,变幅可达10%左右,单独加入(NaPO3)6或H2O2处理后,>63μm(粗颗粒组分)粒径百分含量降低8个百分点左右。单独加蒸馏水浸泡、单独加HCl除去碳酸盐类胶结物和先后加H2O2、HCl(、NaPO3)6处理这三种方法分散效果不明显。23～33号样品对预处理的灵敏度最差,其他样品灵敏度稍好,但总体上尕海湖沉积物对预处理作用不敏感。对于性质类似的盐湖沉积物粒度测试,本文推荐加H2O2进行预处理。  相似文献

Spatial and temporal trends in information technology outsourcing     

《Applied geography (Sevenoaks, England)》2015

Over the last two decades information technology (IT) outsourcing has grown dramatically, and has emerged as a strategic choice for firms searching for ways to control their costs and maintain a competitive edge. The mechanisms driving its growth are not fully understood though. In this research, we employ an approach that focuses on geographic, temporal, and industrial proximity in a mechanism that identifies the process underlying the diffusion of IT outsourcing across firms within the U.S from 2000 to 2010. We focus on the role that firm location plays in the diffusion process, and use space-time clustering techniques from the epidemiology literature to understand the diffusion process. We identify 38 space-time clusters based on IT outsourcing announcement data and the locations of firm headquarters among U.S.-based firms. When supplemented with additional information, such as type of services outsourced, the metropolitan area of the headquarters, and related industry information; the results offer insights into various types of diffusion processes that have been identified in the literature but have not been documented to date in the empirical manner that we have been able to do.  相似文献
