Turbulent saline flows which contain low concentrations of suspended clay (< 10 g 1?1) have previously been reported to possess dramatically different boundary layer characteristics from clearwater flows and to exhibit the phenomenon of drag reduction. Drag reduction causes significantly lower friction factors and higher erosion thresholds in muddy saline flows than predicted by experimental data gained from fresh-water flows using the law of the wall to estimate bed shear stress. Confirmation is given by experimental results on drag reduction using non-intrusive laser Doppler measurements in seawater flows with <2·2 g 1?1 maximum concentration of suspended clay. Increasing the concentration of clay caused progressively lower velocities near the wall due to a gradual thickening of the buffer region of the turbulent boundary layer. Several aspects of sediment transport, deposition and bedform development in natural marine environments are thus considered to be significantly affected by the drag reduction process. 相似文献

The morphology and dynamics of low amplitude bedwaves upon upper stage plane beds and the preservation of planar laminae 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Experimental studies of subcritical, unidirectional flow over upper stage plane beds of medium grained sand reveal the ubiquitous presence of low amplitude bedwaves. Flow depth was 0·11 m, mean flow velocities were 0·86–1·0 m s?1, shear velocities were 0·058–0·71 m s?1 and dimensionless shear stresses were 0·56–0·87. Bedwaves are asymmetrical in profile and range from 0·75 to 11 mm in height (mainly 2–6 mm), from 0·7 to 1·3 m in wavelength and have mean celerities of 10 mm s?1. Flow records suggest that the bedwaves are associated with accelerating flow over the bedwave crests and flow which decelerates and diverges laterally over the troughs. High resolution bed profiling during aggradation of the bed combined with subsequent box coring illustrates that these bedwaves are responsible for the planar laminae characteristic of upper stage plane beds. Lamina preservation is dependent upon the mean aggradation rate and the sequence of bedwaves of different height crossing any point; individual laminae are more readily preserved at higher aggradation rates where the possibility of reworking by later bedwaves is reduced. Laminae are recognized by small changes in grain size and commonly a fining upwards at the top of laminae which is generated by fine grained material infiltrating a lower lamina in the leeside of a bedwave. 相似文献

The depositional stratigraphy of within‐channel deposits in sandy braided rivers is dominated by a variety of barforms (both singular ‘unit’ bars and complex ‘compound’ bars), as well as the infill of individual channels (herein termed ‘channel fills’). The deposits of bars and channel fills define the key components of facies models for braided rivers and their within‐channel heterogeneity, knowledge of which is important for reservoir characterization. However, few studies have sought to address the question of whether the deposits of bars and channel fills can be readily differentiated from each other. This paper presents the first quantitative study to achieve this aim, using aerial images of an evolving modern sandy braided river and geophysical imaging of its subsurface deposits. Aerial photographs taken between 2000 and 2004 document the abandonment and fill of a 1·3 km long, 80 m wide anabranch channel in the sandy braided South Saskatchewan River, Canada. Upstream river regulation traps the majority of very fine sediment and there is little clay (< 1%) in the bed sediments. Channel abandonment was initiated by a series of unit bars that stalled and progressively blocked the anabranch entrance, together with dune deposition and stacking at the anabranch entrance and exit. Complete channel abandonment and subsequent fill of up to 3 m of sediment took approximately two years. Thirteen kilometres of ground‐penetrating radar surveys, coupled with 18 cores, were obtained over the channel fill and an adjacent 750 m long, 400 m wide, compound bar, enabling a quantitative analysis of the channel and bar deposits. Results show that, in terms of grain‐size trends, facies proportions and scale of deposits, there are only subtle differences between the channel fill and bar deposits which, therefore, renders them indistinguishable. Thus, it may be inappropriate to assign different geometric and sedimentological attributes to channel fill and bar facies in object‐based models of sandy braided river alluvial architecture. 相似文献

The Guadalupe igneous complex is one of several late Jurassic,mesozonal plutons in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Severallines of evidence suggest that the different rock types, rangingfrom eucrite to leucogranophyre, originated mainly through fractionalcrystallization of a parent basaltic magma. Important differencesbetween this complex and other large differentiated basic intrusionsinclude the presence of steeply inclined but weak layering inthe gabbroic rocks and an abundance of hydrous mafic mineralsrelative to olivine and pyroxene, which are not representedby iron-rich end-members in the granitic differentiates. Chemically,the differentiation trend is marked by a large variation infelsic parameters and only a weak enrichment in iron. This trend,which is similar to that of calc-alkaline suites of orogenicregions, may have been influenced by abnormally high pressuresof water and oxygen for a crystallizing basaltic magma. 相似文献

This paper gives a report about experiments with the geomagnetic field-balance with ribbon suspension of the FANSELAU-type under extreme climatic conditions. These experiments were carried out by several institutions. The results show that the field balances “H” and “Z” give right records even under extreme conditions. 相似文献

Mean flow and turbulence structure over fixed, two-dimensional dunes: implications for sediment transport and bedform stability 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Detailed measurements of flow velocity and its turbulent fluctuation were obtained over fixed, two-dimensional dunes in a laboratory channel. Laser Doppler anemometry was used to measure the downstream and vertical components of velocity at more than 1800 points over one dune wavelength. The density of the sampling grid allowed construction of a unique set of contour maps for all mean flow and turbulence parameters, which are assessed using higher moment measures and quadrant analysis. These flow field maps illustrate that: (1) the time-averaged downstream and vertical velocities agree well with previous studies of quasi-equilibrium flow over fixed and mobile bedforms and show a remarkable symmetry from crest to crest; (2) the maximum root-mean-square (RMS) of the downstream velocity values occur at and just downstream of flow reattachment and within the flow separation cell; (3) the maximum vertical RMS values occur within and above the zone of flow separation along the shear layer and this zone advects and diffuses downstream, extending almost to the next crest; (4) positive downstream skewness values occur within the separation cell, whereas positive vertical skewness values are restricted to the shear layer; (5) the highest Reynolds stresses are located within the zone of flow separation and along the shear layer; (6) high-magnitude, high-frequency quadrant-2 events (‘ejections’) are concentrated along the shear layer (Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities) and dominate the contribution to the local Reynolds stress; and (7) high-magnitude, high-frequency quadrant-4 events occur bounding the separation zone, near reattachment and close to the dune crest, and are significant contributors to the local Reynolds stress at each location. These data demonstrate that the turbulence structure associated with dunes is controlled intrinsically by the formation, magnitude and downstream extent of the flow separation zone and resultant shear layer. Furthermore, the origin of dune-related macroturbulence lies in the dynamics of the shear layer rather than classical turbulent boundary layer bursting. The fluid dynamic distinction between dunes and ripples is reasoned to be linked to the velocity differential across the shear layer and hence the magnitude of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, which are both greater for dunes than ripples. These instabilities control the local flow and turbulence structure and dictate the modes of sediment entrainment and their transport rates. 相似文献

Airborne electromagnetic methods have been in use for more than 30 years. The selection of the most effective airborne system for a given geological/geographical environment is difficult since there are only a limited number of theoretical comparisons and very few comparative field evaluations of the systems. Shell Canada Ltd carried out a field evaluation using several systems to provide such a comparison. For this evaluation five different airborne systems were flown over 22 conductive features. Some lines were flown at various directions to strike, some at various elevations, and some with different line spacings. The airborne systems were then evaluated target by target for navigational control, line-to-line correlation, resolution, lateral coverage, signal strength, noise etc. The paper examines the philosophy behind our field evaluation and outlines steps required for setting up this comparison. Pitfalls are discussed as well as examples which illustrate the methodology. Two field examples are given from the Bathrust mining camp in New Brunswick and the Timmins Clay belt in northern Ontario (both in Canada). Some general conclusions which help our understanding of present day airborne electromagnetic systems are discussed at the end of the paper. 相似文献

The dynamics of turbulent, transitional and laminar clay-laden flow over a fixed current ripple 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Most aqueous sedimentary environments contain varying concentrations of fine‐grained, often clay‐rich, sediment that is transported in suspension and may modify the properties of the flow and underlying mobile bed. This paper presents results from a series of laboratory experiments examining the mean and turbulent properties of clay‐laden (kaolinite) flows, of various volumetric sediment concentrations between 0·046% and 12·7%, moving over a fixed, idealized current ripple. As the kaolinite concentration was raised, with flow velocity and depth constant, four flow types were observed to occur: (i) turbulent flow, in which flow separation is dominant in the leeside of the ripple; (ii) turbulence‐enhanced transitional flow, in which turbulence in the leeside separation zone region is enhanced; (iii) turbulence‐attenuated transitional flow, in which turbulence along the separation zone shear layer and in the free flow above it becomes damped, eventually leading to a reduction in the size of the separation zone wake region; and (iv) laminar plug flow, in which turbulence is damped and flow is almost stagnant in the lee of the ripple. Such modulation of turbulence by increasing clay concentrations suggests that many paradigms of flow and bedform dynamics, which have been based on extensive past work in clear water flows, require revision. The present results highlight a need to fully characterize the boundary conditions for turbulence modulation as a function of clay type and applied flow conditions, and the effects of such flows on fully mobile cohesionless beds. 相似文献

Amphibole-bearing Cumulate Inclusions, Grand Canyon, Arizona and their bearing on Silica-Undersaturated Hydrous Magmas in the Upper Mantle 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Rare inclusions in Holocene basanite within the western GrandCanyon are comprised of poikilitic titaniferous amphibole togetherwith variable proportions of relatively Fe-rich clinopyroxene,orthopyroxene, olivine, Cr-poor spinel, and pyropic garnet,magnesian ilmenite, and titaniferous phlogopite. No feldsparhas been found in the 219 inclusions investigated. Availableexperimental data suggest crystallization at approximately 20kb (65 km depth) in a region where the crust is 30–40km thick. On the basis of their fabric, the inclusions appear to representcumulates, but other modes of origin cannot be completely ruledout. Anhydrous grains, including some considered to be postcumulusprecipitates, experienced extensive resorption into the interstitialhydrous melt before it ultimately crystallized, perhaps 100?C below liquidus temperatures, as the poikilitic amphibole.In spite of these crystal-melt reactions, and some probablesubsolidus recrystallization as well, systematic variationsin cumulus phase compositions exist and indicate one main precipitationsequence was ol+sp, ol+sp+cpx, cpx+cpx+sp, cpx+sp, cpx+sp+ilm.The local pyropic garnet appears postcumulus in the last threecumulus assemblages. The igneous bodies represented by the inclusions comprised arelatively small portion of the upper mantle sampled by theascending basanitic magma. But in contrast to the thin amphibole-bearingveins in the mantle-derived massif at Etang de Lherz, the igneousbodies beneath the Grand Canyon are considered to be substantiallylarger in dimension, on the order of at least meters ratherthan a few centimeters. Primary nephelinite-basanite melts produced by variable butsmall degrees of partial melting of hydrous upper mantle arenot represented by the poikilitic amphiboles because of complexprocesses at the site of emplacement, including reactions betweenmelt and chromian-spinel peridotite wall rocks. 相似文献
