A Terrain-Following Crystal Grid Finite Volume Ocean Circulation Model     

Peter?C.?ChuEmail author  Chenwu?Fan 《Journal of Oceanography》2004,60(6):945-952

A three dimensional hydrostatic finite volume ocean model has been developed to solve the integral dynamical equations. Since the basic (integral) equations are solved for finite volumes rather than grid points, the flux conservation is easily enforced, even on arbitrary meshes. Both upwind and high-order combined compact schemes can be incorporated into the model to increase computational stability and accuracy. This model uses a highly distorted grid system near the boundary. The lateral boundaries of each finite volume are perpendicular to x and y axes and the two vertical boundaries are not purely horizontal. Four types of finite volumes are designed to follow the terrain with four (Type-A), three (Type-B), two (Type-C), and one (Type-D) vertices in the lower surface. Such a terrain-following grid discretization has superior features to z- and σ-coordinate systems. The accuracy of this model was tested.  相似文献   

ENSO related variations in biogeochemistry of AA and HA in settling particles along the equatorial Pacific Ocean     

Lallan P. Gupta  Hodaka Kawahata 《Journal of Oceanography》2007,63(4):695-709

Four year-long time-series sediment trap experiments were conducted along the equatorial Pacific Ocean in order to understand the biogeochemistry of particulate organic matter (POM) on the basis of amino acid (AA) and hexosamine (HA) compositions of the settling particles. Total mass flux in the study area varied over 4 orders of magnitude without a common seasonality among all trap sites. Planktonic blooms were apparent in terms of total mass and AA fluxes at the easternmost end of the Niño-4 region. AA fluxes closely followed the total mass flux profiles, suggesting that increased particle flux delivered a greater amount of labile OM to the deep ocean. A labile OM index (LI)-based classification showed that during the El Niño conditions in 2002, the eastern side of the equatorial Pacific transported relatively more labile OM than the western equatorial Pacific. An overall change in AA and HA composition of settling particles could be revealed with the help of discriminant analysis, suggesting that settling particles during El Niño were compositionally different from those settling during La Niña condition in the equatorial Pacific.  相似文献

An analytical solution for the local suspended sediment concentration profile in tidal sea region   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The time-averaged and oscillatory solutions of the one-dimensional vertical (1DV) advection–diffusion equation for the suspended sediment have been derived analytically in a tidal sea region of finite water depth. The basic equation assumes constant eddy diffusivity and settling velocity. No net flux condition is set at the sea surface, while a boundary condition with the erosion rate and depositional velocity is prescribed at the sea bottom. The time-averaged solution has been derived in a straightforward manner, while the advection–diffusion equation governing the oscillatory concentration has been first transformed to a simple diffusion equation and then solved using the Galerkin-eigenfunction method. The former is given in a closed form, while the latter is presented in a series solution.A set of calculations has been performed to examine the change in the vertical structure as well as magnitude of the concentration response function. A possible use of the solution to make an estimate of the erosion rate at the sea bottom based on the concentration information at the sea surface is discussed.  相似文献   

Investigation on Settling Characteristics of Floes in the Changjiang Estuary, China

- Settling characteristics of floes, including relative settling velocity, relative flocculation coefficient and flocculation exponent, are obtained by the suspended load equations for different size fractions. Data of the Changjiang Estuary suggest that level of flocculation changes from river section, river mouth (turbidity maximum) to offshore area in sequence of low, very high and high. The settling characteristics of floes reflected by in situ estimation performs a similar feature as that obtained from still water experiment.  相似文献   

Analysis of influencing factors on fine sediment flocculation in the Changjiang Estuary   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Based on the test data in dynamic water and static water, the main factors, which influence the fine sediment flocculation, are analyzed with a gray model method of correlation theory. It is shown that the main influencing factors are water temperature, settling time, salinity, grain size, sediment concentration and current velocity according to the correlation coefficients. Among them, the salinity and the sediment grain size are critical type influencing factors (CrTIF); the settling time, the sediment concentration and the velocity are continuous type influencing factors (CoTIF); and the water temperature has the characteristics of both. When the critical values of CrTIF are reached or exceeded, the fine sediments will be flocculated, but values of CrTIF will not influence the settlement strength of floes. The influence of CoTIF is continuous. The values of the CoTIF will not only influence the occurrence of flocculation but also the settlement strength of the floes.  相似文献

为了解浅水湖泊水体中颗粒悬浮物的静沉降规律,以太湖为例,采用重复深度吸管法计算了2005年4月、5月间在太湖进行的4次静沉降模拟实验中的沉降速度。结果表明:①在悬浮物沉降过程内,3种颗粒物的沉速关系为颗粒无机物(PIM)>悬浮物(SS)>颗粒有机物(POM)。在相同的沉降时间内,PIM的沉速为SS沉速的1.6~2.0倍,POM的沉速为SS沉速的0.3~0.7倍,PIM的沉速为POM沉速的2.5~5.5倍;②水体中悬浮物浓度与沉降时间均呈现出明显的指数衰减规律,悬浮物中无机物含量较高时这种规律更为明显;③悬浮物浓度较低时,太湖悬浮物的沉降速率与水体中的悬浮物浓度无明显的相关关系;而悬浮物浓度较高时,沉降速率随悬浮物浓度升高而增大。  相似文献   

垂直变量配置对静力适应过程的影响     

郭海龙  刘宇迪  眭敏  余江林 《气象科学》2019,39(4):446-456

为了研究垂直变量配置对静力适应过程的影响,本文从描写静力适应过程的方程组出发,分别在将所有变量置于整层上的非跳点N网格;将垂直速度和温度放置在整层,水平速度、气压和密度等变量放置在半层的Charney Phillips跳点网格(CP网格);将水平速度、气压和温度放置在整层,将垂直速度和密度放置在半层的Lorenz跳点网格(L网格);将密度变量放置在整层的Charney Phillips跳点网格(CP_N网格);将密度放置在整层的Lorenz跳点网格(L_N网格)上进行离散,垂直格距分1 km、0.5 km、0.2 km和0.01 km,研究了在这5种网格上产生的频率和垂直群速的相对误差。结果表明:(1)L_N网格和CP网格是完全等效的两种网格。(2)不论垂直格距为多少,CP网格和L网格的误差都是最小,N网格次之,CP_N网格的误差最大。(3)随着垂直格距的减少,在这几种网格上产生的误差都在减小。对于CP网格、L网格和N网格,在水平长波和垂直短波处产生的误差较大。而CP_N网格对水平波长变化不敏感,垂直波长越短,误差越大。(4)当垂直格距为0.01 km时,这几种网格都对水平波长的变化不敏感了,仅对垂直波长敏感。(5)CP网格、L_N网格和L网格在描写静力适应过程和斜压地转适应过程都是误差最小的垂直变量配置方案,因此在非静力完全可压缩深层大气数值预报模式中应优先选择这3种方案。  相似文献   

The effects of stress on reactions in the Earth: Sometimes rather mean,usually normal,always important          下载免费PDF全文

John Wheeler 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2018,36(4):439-461

Stress affects chemical processes on all scales in the Earth but the magnitude of its effect is debated. Here, I give a new synthesis of the theory that describes the effects of stress on chemistry, elaborating upon work in Materials Science which is built from fundamental thermodynamic laws, and show its significance in Earth Science. There are separate but compatible relationships describing what happens (1) at interfaces and (2) within grains. (1) The main chemical effects of stress in the Earth are due to variations in normal stress along grain interfaces and between interfaces with different orientations. For reactions involving diffusion these variations give effects on mineral stability broadly equivalent to pressure changes of (molar volume)/(molar volume change during reaction) × (stress variation). The volume ratio is generally large and so the effects of normal stress variations are always important since all stressed rocks have interfaces supporting different normal stresses. There is no global chemical equilibrium in a stressed system, so reaction kinetics contribute to ongoing evolution until stresses relax: this evolution can include deformation by diffusion creep and pressure solution, possibly with new mineral growth. These effects are relevant for predicting the conditions for reactions involving fluids, such as serpentinite formation and breakdown (relevant for the Earth's volatile cycles) and for other reactions such as ringwoodite breakdown (relevant for understanding the 660 km mantle discontinuity). (2) Within stressed solid solution grains it is not possible to define chemical potentials of all chemical components since one has to be specified as “immobile.” The chemical potential of a “mobile” component such as an exchange vector can be defined. It depends on the “partial molar strain,” a second rank tensor defining the variation in unit cell geometry with composition. In cubic crystals the partial molar strain is isotropic and the chemical potential of a mobile component depends on mean stress. In other crystal systems the partial molar strain is anisotropic and the chemical potential depends on a “weighted” mean stress; orientation as well as magnitude of stress has an influence. I propose “chemical palaeopiezometry”—the possibility of measuring past stress levels via chemistry. Examples show that stress variations in hundreds of MPa to GPa are required to produce 2% variations in composition but high stresses and/or precise chemical analyses will allow this proposal to be tested. High stresses around inclusions and dislocations could be targeted. So, the weighted mean stress inside grains has an effect which is relatively minor although potentially valuable in explaining chemical variations; the normal stress at interfaces plays the main role in chemical processes and its effects are of significant magnitude.  相似文献
