Estimating bed material fluxes upstream and downstream of a controlled large bifurcation - the Mississippi-Atchafalaya River diversion     

Bo Wang  Yi-Jun Xu 《水文研究》2020,34(13):2864-2877

Bed material transport at river bifurcations is crucial for channel stability and downstream geomorphic dynamics. However, measurements of bed material transport at bifurcations of large alluvial rivers are difficult to make, and standard estimates based on the assumption of proportional partitioning of flow and bedload transport at bifurcations may be erroneous. In this study, we employed a combined approach based on observed topographic change (erosion/deposition) and bed material transport predicted from a one-dimensional model to investigate bed material fluxes near the engineering-controlled Mississippi-Atchafalaya River diversion, which is of great importance to sediment distribution and delivery to Louisiana's coast. Yang's (1973) sediment transport equation was utilized to estimate daily bed material loads upstream, downstream, and through the diversion during 2004–2013. Bathymetric changes in these channels were assessed with single beam data collected in 2004 and 2013. Results show that over the study period, 24% of the Mississippi River flow was diverted into the Atchafalaya River, while the rest remained in the mainstem Mississippi. Upstream of the diversion, the bed material yield was predicted to be 201 million metric tons (MT), of which approximately 35 MT (i.e., 17%) passed through the bifurcation channel to the Atchafalaya River. The findings from this study reveal that in the mainstem Mississippi, the percentage of bed material diversion (83%) is larger than the percentage of flow diversion (76%); Conversely, the diversion channel receives a disproportionate amount of flow (24%) relative to bed material supply (17%). Consequently, severe bed scouring occurred in the controlled Outflow Channel to the Atchafalaya River, while riverbed aggradation progressed in the mainstem Mississippi downstream of the diversion structures, implying reduced flow capacity and potential risk of a high backwater during megafloods. The study demonstrates that Yang's sediment transport equation provides plausible results of bed material fluxes for a highly complicated large river diversion, and that integration of the sediment transport equation with observed morphological changes in riverbed is a valuable approach to investigate sediment dynamics at controlled river bifurcations.  相似文献   

Multi‐temporal scale changes of streamflow and sediment load in a loess hilly watershed of China          下载免费PDF全文

Guangyao Gao  Ying Ma  Bojie Fu 《水文研究》2016,30(3):365-382

Global climate change and diverse human activities have resulted in distinct temporal–spatial variability of watershed hydrological regimes, especially in water‐limited areas. This study presented a comprehensive investigation of streamflow and sediment load changes on multi‐temporal scales (annual, flood season, monthly and daily scales) during 1952–2011 in the Yanhe watershed, Loess Plateau. The results indicated that the decreasing trend of precipitation and increasing trend of potential evapotranspiration and aridity index were not significant. Significant decreasing trends (p < 0.01) were detected for both the annual and flood season streamflow, sediment load, sediment concentration and sediment coefficient. The runoff coefficient exhibited a significantly negative trend (p < 0.01) on the flood season scale, whereas the decreasing trend on the annual scale was not significant. The streamflow and sediment load during July–August contributed 46.7% and 86.2% to the annual total, respectively. The maximum daily streamflow and sediment load had the median occurrence date of July 31, and they accounted for 9.7% and 29.2% of the annual total, respectively. All of these monthly and daily hydrological characteristics exhibited remarkable decreasing trends (p < 0.01). However, the contribution of the maximum daily streamflow to the annual total progressively decreased (?0.07% year^?1), while that of maximum daily sediment load increased over the last 60 years (0.08% year^?1). The transfer of sloping cropland for afforestation and construction of check‐dams represented the dominant causes of streamflow and sediment load reductions, which also made the sediment grain finer.

基于Ruger近似式预测裂缝型储层的可行性研究     

吴姗姗  高刚  桂志先  王鹏  李成毅 《煤田地质与勘探》2020,48(1):189-196

叠前纵波方位各向异性检测裂缝是目前应用最为广泛的方法，该方法主要是利用AVAZ地震资料椭圆拟合的长轴与短轴信息来评价裂缝，该方法在具体应用时，认为裂缝型储层AVAZ响应特征的变化仅由各向异性参数决定，而没有考虑非各向异性参数的影响，从而引起裂缝评价的多解性。为提高该技术的裂缝评价精度，从模型分析入手，将模型中各向异性参数及岩性参数设置为概率密度分布函数，然后采用Monte Carlo随机方法进行叠前AVAZ正演模拟。首先，对各向异性参数对椭圆拟合的影响进行简单分析，得出各向异性参数γ对椭圆扁率B/A与各向异性因子B影响最大、δ次之、ε最小。然后，进一步重点分析不同标准差的速度与密度模型的B/A与B响应特征，得出地层的速度与密度的变化在较小范围内时，该技术评价裂缝才具有一定的可行性，其中，地层纵波和横波速度的变化（尤其是纵波速度）对叠前AVAZ响应影响较大，地层密度几乎没有影响，故当横向岩性变化较大时，该方法在评价裂缝型储层时的结果具有一定的不确定性。   相似文献

总磷是长江流域水环境污染的首要超标因子,岷江作为长江上游流量最大的支流,总磷污染严重,对长江总磷污染贡献较大。为了解岷江流域总磷污染,采用排污系数法,计算得到2016年岷江流域污染源总磷入河量为1 154 t,以农村生活污染负荷占比最高(51.3%),其次为城镇生活源(28.7%)、农业非点源(8.24%)、工业源(9.57%)、畜禽养殖源(1.21%),城市径流源(0.99%)最低;在空间上岷江流域总磷污染负荷呈中游(64.2%)>下游(32.6%)>上游(3.1%)的特点,与岷江干流总磷浓度变化趋势相符,其中成都市总磷污染负荷最高(51.2%),与区域人口密度高、生产和生活活动密集有关。结合资料收集和现场调查,岷江流域总磷污染成因主要包括农村生活污染治理缺口较大、城镇生活污染处理基础设施建设不足、工业企业密布、部分支流总磷污染严重、水污染治理导向不全面。针对岷江总磷污染负荷分布特征及成因,提出“上游保护优质水体、中游治理重污染水体、下游恢复不达标水体”的分区污染防治对策,统筹流域监管体制机制,强化岷江流域水环境保护和治理。  相似文献   

One-dimensional consolidation of soil under multistage load based on continuous drainage boundary     

Yi--> Tian  Wenbing Wu  Guosheng Jiang  M. Hesham El Naggar  Guoxiong Mei  Meijuan Xu  Rongzhu Liang 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2020,44(8):1170-1183

In engineering practice, a rapid loading rate can result in ground failure when the strength of soft soils is relatively low, and a multistage loading scheme is always utilized to deal with this situation. Firstly, under a multistage load and the continuous drainage boundary, an analytical solution of excess pore-water pressure and consolidation degree is obtained by virtue of the superposition formula of excess pore-water pressure, and a more general continuous drainage boundary under arbitrary time-dependent load is developed. Then, a comparison with existing analytical solutions is conducted to verify the present solution. A preliminary attempt on applying the continuous drainage boundary into the finite element model is made, and the feasibility of the numerical model for the one-dimensional consolidation under the continuous drainage boundary is verified by comparing the results calculated by FEM with that from present analytical solution. Finally, the consolidation behavior of soil is investigated in detail for different int erface parameters or loading scheme. The results show that, in land reclamation projects, a horizontal drain should be placed close to the boundary with a smaller interface parameter to improve the consolidation efficiency. The degree of consolidation is also related to the applied time-dependent load and interface parameters.  相似文献   

竖向高荷载作用下大直径超长钻孔灌注桩承载性能试验     

桑伟锋 《世界地质》2020,39(1):127-134

通过机场—西华高速大直径超长钻孔灌注桩大吨位竖向单桩静载试验,分析了该地区大直径超长钻孔灌注桩的承载性状以及荷载传递机理。试验结果表明:试桩的Q-S曲线呈缓变型,桩端承载力占总荷载的比例均<10%,即均表现为摩擦桩特性;试桩的侧摩阻力自上而下逐步发挥,侧摩阻力和桩端阻力异步发挥且互相耦合;大直径超长钻孔灌注桩桩侧摩阻力的发挥与土层性质、土层埋深及桩顶荷载水平有关;在高荷载作用下桩侧上部土层摩阻力具有不同程度的软化现象,而中下部土层侧摩阻力具有不同程度的强化现象,甚至即使在最大加载情况下,桩身下部土层的侧摩阻力也并未完全发挥,因此在根据规范计算超长桩承载力时,不同深度土层的侧摩阻力应乘以相应不同的修正系数。  相似文献   

爆破荷载作用下露天矿边坡稳定性的突变研究     

周子涵  陈忠辉  王建明  张凌凡  年庚乾 《岩土力学》2020,41(3):849-857

基于二维斜坡平面滑动失稳力学模型，引入爆破荷载因素，建立了露天爆破荷载作用下岩质边坡失稳的尖点突变理论模型。根据建立的突变模型，探讨了爆破荷载幅值和爆破荷载频率对边坡稳定性的影响规律，导出了边坡的动态自稳临界高度，并提出了失稳的判据条件，结果表明：爆破荷载幅值越大，爆破荷载频率越小，后缘裂缝深度越大，边坡失稳的可能性越高；在爆破荷载作用下，边坡的稳定程度是动态变化的，且随着应力波入射角的增大，边坡失稳破坏的可能性不断提高。以大孤山露天矿内的两处边坡为例，计算了边坡的动安全系数及动态自稳临界高度，利用边坡当前实际的稳定情况验证了提出的边坡失稳判据的合理性，为预防露天矿爆破在开挖过程中边坡岩体的动力失稳提供了一定的理论支持。  相似文献   

扎格罗斯前陆盆地晚中新世快速剥露证据——来自磷灰石(U- Th)/He的约束

伊朗扎格罗斯造山带是世界上最年轻的造山带之一，前人对其构造演化历史的研究尚存争议。前陆盆地蕴藏着丰富的造山带热史信息，为研究造山带的隆升和剥露历史提供了重要途径。本研究选取位于扎格罗斯前陆盆地前缘中部的Kuh- E Bedush向斜和Kuh- E Murdeh向斜翼部出露的第三纪陆相红层(Agha Jari组)为研究对象，共采集11个粗砂岩样品进行磷灰石(U- Th)/He测试分析。11个样品共得到38个单颗粒年龄，年龄区间为0. 8~79. 9Ma。大部分样品的单颗粒年龄比较分散，表明这些样品没有发生完全热重置。相反，位于Murdeh向斜剖面最底部的样品，(U- Th)/He年龄小于其对应的地层年龄，并且集中分布在8. 3~6. 8Ma，表明该样品发生了完全重置并记录了最后一次剥露事件的时间。因此，我们认为扎格罗斯前陆盆地于晚中新世~7. 5 Ma经历了一期快速剥露事件。此外，我们发现未重置的(U- Th)/He年龄大致分布在四个时间段：晚白垩纪—早古新世、早—中始新世、渐新世、早—中中新世。根据所得热年龄并结合前人研究设定了三种不同的热史，正演模拟结果与实际样品拟合较好，由此推断出前陆中部Agha Jari陆相红层沉积物可能来自于：①晚白垩世以来以蛇绿岩套为主的仰冲体持续剥露；②萨南达季- 锡尔詹变质带(SSZ)渐新世和中新世逐渐加速的剥露；③渐新世末堆积在仰冲体之上的同造山期砾岩，在中新世的大规模逆冲作用下重新剥露。  相似文献   

Moving load response of an axially loaded Timoshenko beam on a multilayered transversely isotropic half-space comprising different media     

Yi-Cheng Li  Shi-Jin Feng  Zhang-Long Chen 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》2020,44(18):2501-2523

This paper investigates the dynamic response of an axially loaded Timoshenko beam coupled with a multilayered transversely isotropic (TI) half-space subjected to a moving load. An axial force induced by the thermal expansion is taken into account in the Timoshenko beam. The half-space considers the alternate distribution of an arbitrary number of TI elastic and poroelastic layers to model foundation soils with different properties and moisture conditions. To solve the governing equations, Fourier transform is adopted. The stratified foundation is formulated by extending an “adapted stiffness matrix method” to a more general scenario with an arbitrary number of layers. The beam is then coupled with the foundation to derive solutions to the system in the frequency-wavenumber domain. The final results in the time-spatial domain are recovered by the inverse Fourier transform. After confirming the accuracy of the method in this study, the influences of the pore water existence, the transverse isotropy of different parameters, and the axial force are investigated. It can be observed that the effect of pore water existence on the maximum beam deflection can reach 22% in this study. The transverse isotropy of the elastic and shear moduli influences the critical speed of the beam deflection by altering the phase velocity of the first wave propagation mode of the beam-foundation system. The vertical permeability coefficient is more important than the horizontal one in determining the excess pore pressure. The rise of the beam temperature (axial force) decreases the critical speed and magnifies the vibrations.  相似文献   

GRACE时变信号恢复方法对比分析     

刘冰石  邹贤才 《大地测量与地球动力学》2019,39(2):204-209

针对利用GRACE重力数据反演地表质量变化过程中产生的时变信号削弱和泄露现象，分别采用尺度因子法和迭代恢复法对信号进行恢复，并选用CSR Mascon产品从时间序列变化和空间分布两个角度对两种恢复方法的效果进行对比分析。结果表明：1)尺度因子法虽实现上较为简单，但其计算结果完全依赖于所选的先验模型，当所选模型的可靠性较差时，会影响到GRACE反演结果的可靠性。2)迭代恢复法的恢复过程仅受GRACE原始观测值的约束，能较好地恢复研究区域的长期趋势信号和周期信号，但在部分区域可能存在信号过量恢复的现象。建议采用迭代恢复法进行GRACE时变信号恢复。  相似文献
