Coronal Holes and Icosahedral Symmetry     

Wolfram Neutsch  Herbert Kalisch  Horst Fichtner  S. Ranga Sreenivasan  Maurice Shevalier 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2003,288(3):391-408

The study of the expansion of the solar wind out of a system of coronal holes is continued. To this end, we consider the numerical integration of partial differential equations for problems with icosahedral symmetry, in general. First, employing Weyl theory, orbifold coordinates are introduced. Second, the icosahedral coordinates are discussed in detail. Third, following an analysis of the properties of these coordinates and the derivation of a few expressions useful for grid construction, various alternatives for the distribution of lattice points required for numerical integration are considered. A comparison of these numerical grids motivates the choice of a specific grid optimized for the numerical integration carried out in the accompanying paper by Kalish et al.(2002). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Long-term changes in the within-season temporal profile of southwest monsoon over western India     

Satyendra Bhandari  Rohit Srivastava  Vikram Mehta 《Journal of Earth System Science》2016,125(7):1313-1319

This paper presents results of a study of long term trends in the characteristics of the within-season temporal profile of southwest monsoon rainfall over western India during the last five decades in relation to global warming induced regional climate change. In contrast to recent climate change analyses and projections, no significant long-term trends have been observed in this study. Slow decadal scale variations observed are analysed in relation to Pacific Decadal Oscillations (PDO). Daily variations in rainfall anomaly show opposite characteristics during negative and positive phases of PDO. The above-normal rainfall (>25%) is found during the starting phase of monsoon in negative PDO. Over the last decade, i.e., during 2000–2007, the seasonal rainfall amount, as well as seasonal span of southwest monsoon over western India is indicative of a gradual increase.  相似文献

Analysis of type of tectonic strain in polyphased deformed Molare area,Tessin, Switzerland,using deformed pebbles     

Dr. Vikram C. Thakur 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1974,63(1):326-334

The plots of axial ratios, X/Y and Y/Z, of deformed pebbles of quartz and quartzite occupy the constriction field. It is proved by comparision of observed data with the theoretical models, that the finite shapes of deformed pebbles showing constriction-type deformation ellipsoid has resulted due to superimposition of the schistosity forming flattening-type deformation of F₂ phase on the nappe forming flattening-type of F₁ deformation phase. The deformed shapes of pebbles indicate that the principal direction of maximum extension (X) of the finite deformation ellipsoid lie parallel to subparallel to the axial directions of F₂ and F₃ folds.

Zusammenfassung Diagrammdarstellungen der Achsenverhältnisse X/Y und Y/Z ergeben für deformierte Quarz- und Quarzitgerölle eine Lage im Konstriktionsfeld. Durch Vergleich der Beobachtungsdaten mit theoretischen Modellen wird nachgewiesen, daß die finiten Umrisse deformierter Gerölle mit einem Deformationsellipsoid vom Konstriktionstyp sich aus der überlagerung der die Schieferung verursachenden Deformationsphase F₂ mit Plättungstyp über die deckenbildende Deformationsphase F₁ mit Plättungstyp ergaben. Die deformierten Umrisse der Gerölle zeigen, daß die Hauptrichtung größter Extension (X) des finiten Deformationsellipsoides parallel oder annähernd parallel zur Achsenrichtung der F₂- und F₃-Falten liegt.

Résumé Les diagrammes de rapports d'axes X/Y et Y/Z relatifs à la déformation de galets de quartz et de quartzite montrent une localisation dans un champ de constriction. En comparant les données de l'observation avec des modèles théoriques on voit que les contours des galets déformés suivant un ellipsoÏde de déformation du type constriction résultent de la superposition de la phase de déformation F₂, du type applatissement, déterminant la schistosité, sur la phase de déformation F₁, du mÊme type, liée aux nappes. Les contours déformés des galets montrent que la direction principale de la plus grande extension (X) de l'ellipsoÏde de déformation affine est parallèle, ou approximativement parallèle, à la direction des axes des plis F₂ et F₃.

Influence of magnetic fabric anisotropy on seismic wave velocity in paramagnetic granites from NW Himalaya: Results from preliminary investigations     

Koushik Sen  Ruchika Sharma  B. R. Arora  Vikram Gupta 《Journal of the Geological Society of India》2010,76(5):322-330

Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility (AMS) and seismic wave velocity studies of some paramagnetic Himalayan granitoids show good correlation between magnetic fabric anisotropy and P wave velocity (Vp). Vp shows strong positive correlation with magnetic lineation (L) and degree of magnetic anisotropy (P′) having correlation coefficient (r) values of 0.93 and 0.89 respectively. Both Vp and Vs show positive correlation with the SiO₂ content of Proterozoic and Paleozoic granitoids. Velocity of S wave (Vs) shows negative correlation with mean magnetic susceptibility (K_m) having ‘r’ value of 0.86. The correlation between Vs-K_m, V_p-P′, V_p-L also shows >95% probability in Spearman’s rank correlation. Based on the results from the present sample size it is suggested that, in paramagnetic granites, V_p is proportional to intensity of deformation and preferred orientation of minerals as well as the mineralogy. On the other hand, Vs is more dependent on the mineralogy alone.  相似文献

Semi-automatic delineation of badlands using contrast in vegetation activity: a case study in the lower Chambal valley,India     

V. Ranga  A. Van Rompaey  J. Poesen  S.N. Mohapatra  P. Pani 《国际地球制图》2015,30(8):919-936

Population growth worldwide leads to an increasing pressure on the land. Recent studies reported that many areas covered by badlands are decreasing because parts of badlands are being levelled and converted into arable land. It is important to monitor these changes for environmental planning. This paper proposes a remote-sensing-based detection method which allows mapping of badland dynamics based on seasonal vegetation changes in the lower Chambal valley, India. Supervised classification was applied on three Landsat (Thematic Mapper) images, from 3 different seasons; January (winter), April (summer) and October (post-monsoon). Different band selection methods were applied to get the best classification. Validation was done by ground referencing and a GeoEye-1 satellite image. The image from January performed best with overall accuracy of 87% and 0.69 of kappa. This method opens the possibilities of using semi-automatic classification for the Chambal badlands which is so far mapped with manual interpretations only.  相似文献   

Validating the Flash Code: Vortex-Dominated Flows     

Greg Weirs  Vikram Dwarkadas  Tomek Plewa  Chris Tomkins  Mark Marr-Lyon 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2005,298(1-2):341-346

As a component of the Flash Center’s validation program, we compare FLASH simulation results with experimental results from Los Alamos National Laboratory. The flow of interest involves the lateral interaction between a planar M _a = 1.2 shock wave with a cylinder of gaseous sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) in air, and in particular the development of primary and secondary instabilities after the passage of the shock. While the overall evolution of the flow is comparable in the simulations and experiments, small-scale features are difficult to match. We focus on the sensitivity of numerical results to simulation parameters.  相似文献   

Approximate solutions for isothermal flows behind strong spherical shocks with variable energy     

G. Narasimhulu Naidu  M. P. Ranga Rao  Hira Lal Yadav 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1983,89(1):77-87

Self-similar unsteady flows with zero temperature gradient behind strong spherical shocks propagating in non-uniform perfect gas at rest are investigated. The total energy of the flow is assumed to be varying with the shock radius obeying a power law. Approximate solutions in a closed analytical form are obtained using the integral method. Also these solutions are shown to be useful to calculate easily and quickly the shock temperature, X-ray surface brightness and luminosity which are important in astrophysical problems. It is found that these approximate solutions are in close agreement with numerical solutions.  相似文献
