A new method to simulate urban land-use dynamics is proposed based on multi-agent systems (MAS). The model consists of a series of environmental layers and multi-agent layers, which can interact with each other. It attempts to explore the interactions between different players or agents, such as residents, property developers, and governments, and between these players and the envi- ronment. These interactions can give rise to urban macro-spatial patterns. This model is used to simulate the land-use dynamics of the Haizhu district of Guangzhou City in 1995―2004. Cellular automata (CA) were also used for the simulation of land use changes as a comparison. The study indicates that MAS has better performance for simulating complex cities than CA.  相似文献   

Knowledge discovery for geographical cellular automata     

Anthony Gar-On Yeh 《中国科学D辑(英文版)》2005,48(10)

Recently, cellular automata (CA) has been increas-ingly applied to the simulation of geographical phe-nomena, especially urban simulation[1,2]. The re-searches of using CA have been carried out in China with many publications nationally and internation-ally[3―7]. CA can be applied to the simulation of many geographical phenomena, such as diffusion of wild-fire[8], population fluctuation of animals[9], evolution of urban systems and land use[1,2], the formation of idealized urban forms[3,6],…  相似文献   

On the solutions of modeling a slug test performed in a two-zone confined aquifer     

Yang Shaw-Yang  Yeh Hund-Der 《Hydrogeology Journal》2007,15(2):297-305

The slug test is a popular field method for estimating aquifer parameters. As a finite-thickness skin is present at a wellbore, the result of test-data analysis may represent average hydraulic properties of the skin and formation zones. Moench and Hsieh (Int. Assoc. of Hydrogeology, The IAH 17th International Congress on Hydrology of Rocks of Low Permeability, Int. Assoc. of Hydrogeology. Tucson, Arizona, 7–12 January) provided the Laplace-domain solution for a confined aquifer with a finite-thickness skin that satisfies the governing equations, boundary conditions, and continuity requirements at the interface of the skin and formation zones. Two new formulae presented here relate the modified zero-order Bessel functions of the first and second kinds to their first and second derivatives. Their solution is evaluated using the modified Crump approach for the Laplace inversion. The numerical values obtained by the modified Crump approach are compared with others based on finite-element modeling. The results indicate that the values based on finite-element modeling exhibit poor accuracy, attributed to errors in the mass balance equation and interface condition in their mathematical model.

Resumen Los ensayos slug o tipo pulso son métodos populares de campo para estimar parámetros de acuíferos. Debido a que en los sondeos existe una membrana de espesor finito, el resultado del análisis de los datos del ensayo pueden representar las propiedades hidráulicas promedio de las zonas de la formación y dicha membrana. Moench AF y Hsieh PA (Asociación Internacional de Hidrogeólogos, 7–12 Enero 1985) Análisis de datos de prueba slug en un pozo con membrana de espesor finito. 17 Congreso Internacional de la Asociación Internacional de Hidrogeólogos sobre Hidrología de Rocas de Baja Permeabilidad. Asociación Internacional de Hidrogeólogos. Tucson, Arizona. 7–12 Enero. han aportado la solución en el ámbito de Laplace para un acuífero confinado con una membrana de espesor finito que satisface los requerimientos de las ecuaciones dominantes, las condiciones restrictivas, y de continuidad en la interfase de las zonas de formación y membrana. Las dos nuevas fórmulas que se presentan aquí relacionan las funciones modificadas Bessel de orden cero de la primera y segunda clase con su primera y segunda derivadas. Se evalúa su solución usando el enfoque modificado de Crump para la inversión Laplace. Los valores numéricos obtenidos mediante el enfoque modificado de Crump se comparan con otros valores numéricos basados en modelos de elementos finitos. Los resultados indican que los valores basados en el modelo de elementos finitos presentan poca precisión, que se atribuye a errores en la ecuación de balance de masa y a las condiciones de interfase en su modelo matemático.

Résumé Le slug-test représente une méthode populaire de terrain pour estimer les paramètres d’un aquifère. Du fait de la présence d’une couche à l’épaisseur limitée sur un site de forages, le résultat de l’analyse des données du test pourrait représenté le terrain mais aussi cette couche. Moench AF et Hsieh PA (Association Internationale d’Hydrogéologie, 7–12 Jan 1985) Analyses de données de slug test dans un puits présentant une couche d’épaisseur finie. 17ème congrès international de l’AIH sur l’Hydrologie des roches de faible perméabilité, Association Internationale d’Hydrogéologie. Tucson, Arizona, 7–12 Jan. apportent une solution du domaine de Laplace pour un aquifère confiné avec une épaisseur limitée qui satisfait l’équation en question, les conditions aux limites, et les besoins de continuité à l’interface de la couche et de l’encaissant. Deux nouvelles formules présentées dans cet article met en relation les fonctions de Bessel modifiées d’ordre zéro du premier et second type, avec leur dérivées première et deuxième. Leurs solutions sont évaluées en utilisant une approche de Crump modifiée pour l’inversion de Laplace. Les valeurs numériques obtenues avec l’approche de Crump sont comparées avec d’autres approches utilisant les modèles aux éléments finis. Les résultats indiquent que les valeurs basées sur les modèles aux éléments finis montrent une faible précision, du fait d’erreurs dans le bilan hydrologique et les conditions aux limites dans le modèle.

Estimation of groundwater recharge using water balance model   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Hsin-Fu Yeh  Cheng-Haw Lee  Jin-Fa Chen  Wei-Ping Chen 《Water Resources》2007,34(2):153-162

The main purpose of this paper is to apply a water balance concept with two models in the Ching-Shui watershed to describe the groundwater recharge. First of all, a soil moisture budget model is established to estimate the infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration, and groundwater recharge in the watershed, where the moisture content of the soil is tracked through time. Secondly, the groundwater recharge was also estimated by the model of the base-flow-record estimation, with the assumption that groundwater evaporation is negligible. In addition, since the analyzed base-flow trends are high, when executing model analysis, the depths of infiltration estimated by stable-base-flow analysis is used to obtain more reasonable groundwater recharge value. The coefficients of groundwater recharge by the precipitation in the Ching-Shui watershed estimated from the established soil moisture budget model and the base-flow model were 12.40% and 9.92%, respectively. Comparison show the result of both models to be close.  相似文献   

Parameter identification for leaky aquifers using global optimization methods   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Hund‐Der Yeh  Yu‐Chung Lin  Yen‐Chen Huang 《水文研究》2007,21(7):862-872

In the past, graphical or computer methods were usually employed to determine the aquifer parameters of the observed data obtained from field pumping tests. Since we employed the computer methods to determine the aquifer parameters, an analytical aquifer model was required to estimate the predicted drawdown. Following this, the gradient‐type approach was used to solve the nonlinear least‐squares equations to obtain the aquifer parameters. This paper proposes a novel approach based on a drawdown model and a global optimization method of simulated annealing (SA) or a genetic algorithm (GA) to determine the best‐fit aquifer parameters for leaky aquifer systems. The aquifer parameters obtained from SA and the GA almost agree with those obtained from the extended Kalman filter and gradient‐type method. Moreover, all results indicate that the SA and GA are robust and yield consistent results when dealing with the parameter identification problems. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

A magnetohydrodynamic theory of coronal loop transients     

Tyan Yeh 《Solar physics》1982,78(2):287-316

A magnetohydrodynamic theory is presented for coronal loop transients. It is shown that the heliocentrifugal motion of a transient loop, as exhibited by the translational displacement of the axis of the loop, is driven by the magnetohydrodynamic buoyancy force exerted by the ambient medium. Self-induced hydromagnetic force, which includes the magnetic force produced by the internally driven current and the thermal force produced by the pressure imbalance between the internal and external gas pressures, causes the peripheral expansion of the loop, as exhibited by the lateral broadening and longitudinal stretching. This contention is substantiated by an analysis based on a model structure for a coronal loop.Besides accounting for the acceleration and expansion of a transient loop, this magnetohydrodynamic theory also provides an explanation for the initial ejection of a coronal loop from stationary equilibrium. Magnetic unwinding in consequence of abrupt magnetic activities at the solar surface will cause the periphery of a stationary coronal loop to expand. The increase in volume will enhance the magnetohydrodynamic buyoyancy force to exceed the gravitational force. Once a coronal loop is ejected from the solar surface, it will be continually accelerated and undergo expansion. Eventually a transient loop will blend with the ambient solar wind. This is also indicated by the theory presented in this paper.  相似文献   

A hydromagnetic model of corotating conductive solar wind streams     

Tyan Yeh 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1984,98(2):353-366

Under the assumption of quasi-azimuthal symmetry the governing equations of a steady hydromagnetic flow in a thermally conductive flux tube possess six invariants. Four of them represent constancy of mass efflux, energy efflux, angular momentum efflux and magnetic flux. Based on the entropy equation we obtain useful approximation in explicit expressions for the two remaining invariants. One of them provides the constraint which determines the compatible heat flux to ensure a vanishing pressure at infinity. Thus, the admissible solution that represents a corotating solar wind stream in terms of specified interplanetary condition can be calculated by an algebraic method, without the necessity of numerical integration. A two-point relationship is then derived, which correlates the solar wind properties at two separated interplanetary sites measured at two properly separated instants. This relationship may be applied to observational data from space crafts and earth-bound satellites to discern the corotation feature in the solar wind.  相似文献

Evaluation of safety of hydraulic structures affected by migrating pits     

Y-K. Tung  K. -C. Yeh 《Stochastic Hydrology and Hydraulics》1993,7(2):131-145

Because it can be carried by flowing water, a sand/gravel pit on the river bed could migrate downstream. Consequently, the presence of pits on river beds could pose a safety threat to in-stream hydraulic structures such as bridge piers. A pit migration model can be used to predict progressive changes of pit geometry as it migrates downstream. However, due to the existence of many uncertainties, the maximum pit depth cannot be predicted with certainty. This paper adopted a simple pit migration model and evaluated the uncertainty associated with the calculated maximum pit depth. Such information is essential for evaluating the probability that a migrating pit could pose a safety threat to a downstream hydraulic structure. Three reliability analysis techniques were applied and their performances were compared.  相似文献
