We present a new method of measuring the Venus winds by Doppler velocimetry on the full visible spectrum of solar light scattered by the clouds. In January 2003, we carried out observations to measure the winds of Venus, using the EMILIE high-resolution, cross-dispersed spectrograph and its associated calibrating instrument the Absolute Astronomical Accelerometer (AAA), at Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France. The motivation of this type of measurements is that it measures the actual velocity of cloud particles, while the other method (track of cloud features) may be sensitive to the deformation of the clouds. During observations, Venus was near maximum western elongation, at a phase angle near 90°. The EMILIE-AAA system allows us to measure accurately the Doppler shift induced in the reflected solar spectrum by the radial component of the motion of the clouds of Venus. We present the measurements and compare them with a forward simulation of a solid super-rotation of the atmosphere of Venus. Taking into account the Doppler shift relative to the Sun and that relative to the Earth, the theoretical total Doppler shift induced in the solar spectra is easily computed as a function of the velocity of the reflecting target. A first forward simulation is computed, with a wind model considering a purely horizontal and zonal wind. The magnitude of the wind is assumed to depend on cos(latitude), as for a solid-body rotation. The comparison with the measurements at various points on the illuminated semi-disc allowed us to determine an equatorial velocity of 66, 75, 91 and 85 m/s on 4 consecutive mornings, consistent with previous ultraviolet cloud tracking wind measurements, showing that wave propagation is not a major factor in the apparent motion of the cloud marks. Further, we discuss the effect of the finite angular size of the Sun and its rapid equatorial rotation (that we call the Young effect). It mainly affects measurements taken near the terminator, where the largest discrepancies are found. These discrepancies are alleviated when the Young effect is taken into account in the model but then the retrieved Venus equatorial velocity is reduced to only 48±3 m/s. This is well below classical ultraviolet markings velocities, but the altitude at which the visible photons are scattered (66 km) that we use is 5 km below the UV markings, confirming the vertical gradient of the horizontal winds shown by previous in-situ measurements. 相似文献

The Complex Terminal (CT) confined aquifer of the Djerid basin, southwestern Tunisia, was studied using major ion concentrations
and stable isotope contents in order to (1) investigate the changes on its hydrodynamic functioning due to the long-term over-pumping
and the large-scale flood irrigation practices, (2) determine the principal mineralization processes of its fossil groundwater,
and (3) examine the mode of recharge of this aquifer and whether it contains part of modern hydrological regime. The observed
geochemical patterns indicated that the main mineralization processes affecting the CT groundwater water/rock interactions
and mixing. The native Na > Cl and Cl > SO4 > Ca > Na waters, resulting from the dissolution of halite and gypsum and from pyrite oxidation, interacted with those of
the underlying and the overlying aquifers without changing their chemical facies. Stable isotope data provided evidences about
upward and downward leakage into the CT aquifer and their relationships with anthropogenic activities. They demonstrated that
the long-term over-pumping of the CT aquifer, which contributed to the loss of its potentiometric pressure, favored the upward
leakage of the artesian deep groundwater along parts of the major faults. Moreover, the large-scale flood irrigation practices
in the oases domain, which ensured the recharge of the shallow water table by return flow, enhanced the downward leakage toward
the CT aquifer. 相似文献

Subsurface dissolution (subrosion) of evaporites such as halite and gypsum can lead to extensive land subsidence. Recent land subsidences have been surveyed at six separate locations in northwestern Switzerland. The diameters of the affected surface areas range from 100 to 1,500 m, and corresponding subsidence rates reached more than 100 mm/year. Based on a geometrical model, three sites could be outlined where land subsidence can likely be attributed to salt solution mining. The effects of increased hydrostatic gradient due to both groundwater withdrawal and fluid density contrasts were evaluated in more detail for the remaining sites with a series of 2D density-coupled solute-transport simulations along an approximately 1,000-m-long and 150-m-deep 2D cross section. Simulation results indicate that the upconing process of saline groundwater into the main aquifer occurs under different distributions of subsurface parameters and hydraulic boundary conditions. For the presented setup, the simulations also revealed that the most sensitive factor for the dissolution rate is the structure or dip of the halite formation, which leads to an increase of dissolution rate with increasing dip. Due to the increased density of the brine, an intrinsic flow dynamic develops which follows the direction of the dip. 相似文献

This paper studies the interaction of linear water waves with a moored floating breakwater with a leeward boundary composed from a vertical wall. This describes a real modelling for the case of ports in contrary to the problems of unbounded domains. It involves the application of a partial reflection boundary condition for this sidewall. In fact, the partial reflection problem in practical application is of great importance in the design of a harbour or breakwater and mainly for short waves. The reflection coefficient of the harbour boundary (sidewall) plays an important role in modifying the performance of the floating breakwater. Moreover, it reduces the resonant peaks appearing inside the ports due to the energy accumulation in an enclosed domain. The effects of the variation of structural parameters of the breakwater on the transmitted wave height are discussed in details for various values of partial reflection. 相似文献

Abstract Major ions and stable isotopes in groundwaters of the Plio-Quaternary shallow aquifer of the Djerid oases, southern Tunisia, were investigated to elucidate the origin of groundwater recharge and the mineralization processes. It has been demonstrated that the groundwater composition is mainly controlled by the water–rock interaction, the encroachment of brines from the Chotts and the return flow of irrigation waters. The isotopically depleted groundwater samples suggest that the recharge waters derive from an old palaeoclimatic origin. However, the enriched groundwater samples reflect the presence of evaporated recharge water. Furthermore, the large negative deuterium-excess values indicate the effect of secondary evaporation processes, probably related to the return flow of irrigation waters pumped from the underlying aquifer.

The Boughrara Lagoon located in southern Tunisia shows evidence of eutrophication and the deterioration of water quality. The large amount of water shown to exchange tidally between the lagoon and the open sea suggests that while water per se is important and observed eutrophication problems are not caused by a lack of water. Heavy metal concentrations in surface sediments of the lagoon indicate that the ecosystem degradation is most likely related to the discharge of untreated phosphogypsum. Excessive pumping from the local freshwater aquifer that previously supplied freshwater to the lagoon via sub-aquatique fractures is likely to be a significant factor contributing to the water and sediment quality degradation of Boughrara Lagoon. 相似文献

A new and high efficient scheme is developed for the Eulerian–Lagrangian Localized Adjoint Method (ELLAM) to solve the Advection–Dispersion transport Equation (ADE) on unstructured triangular meshes. To obtain accurate results, the new method requires a very limited number of integration points (usually 1 per element). 相似文献

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Mass Transfer in Porous Media Using the Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements and the Random-Walk Methods 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
A three-dimensional (3D) mass transport numerical model is presented. The code is based on a particle tracking technique: the random-walk method, which is based on the analogy between the advection–dispersion equation and the Fokker–Planck equation. The velocity field is calculated by the mixed hybrid finite element formulation of the flow equation. A new efficient method is developed to handle the dissimilarity between Fokker–Planck equation and advection–dispersion equation to avoid accumulation of particles in low dispersive regions. A comparison made on a layered aquifer example between this method and other algorithms commonly used, shows the efficiency of the new method. The code is validated by a simulation of a 3D tracer transport experiment performed on a laboratory model. It represents a heterogeneous aquifer of about 6-m length, 1-m width, and 1-m depth. The porous medium is made of three different sorts of sand. Sodium chloride is used as a tracer. Comparisons between simulated and measured values, with and without the presented method, also proves the accuracy of the new algorithm. 相似文献

Tunisian Chott’s region is one of the most productive artesian basins in Tunisia. It is located in the southwestern part of
the country, and its groundwater resources are developed for water supply and irrigation. The chemical composition of the
water is strongly influenced by the interaction with the basinal sediments and by hydrologic characteristics such as the flow
pattern and time of residence. The system is composed of an upper unconfined “Plio-Quaternary” aquifer with a varying thickness
of 20–200 m, an intermediate confined/unconfined “Complex Terminal” aquifer about 100 m in thickness and a deeper “Continental
Intercalaire” aquifer about 150 m in thickness separated by thick clay and marl layers. The dissolution of evaporites and
carbonates explains part of the contained Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, SO42− and Cl-, but other processes, such carbonate precipitation, also contributes to the water composition. The stable isotope composition
of waters establishes that the deep groundwater (depleted as compared to present corresponding local rainfall) is ancient
water recharged probably during the late Pleistocene and the early Holocene periods. The relatively recent water in the Plio-Quaternary
aquifer is composed of mixed waters resulting presumably from upward leakage from the deeper groundwater. 相似文献
