浙江健跳港动力沉积过程及冲淤平衡机理

根据浙江健跳港实测水文泥沙和港道底部高程资料,分析了健跳港动力沉积过程及其港道的冲淤平衡机理。健跳港受潮流动力作用,大潮冲刷,小潮淤积,港道底部冲刷,湖滩淤积,随着空间上的冲淤变化,岸坡逐渐变陡,最终失去平衡,发生滑塌,形成潮滩与港道底部之间的动态平衡。     

波流作用下黄河三角洲多层粉质土孔压累积及液化分析

在波浪和海流作用下,多层粉质土海床可能会发生液化破坏,进而影响工程构筑物的安全。以黄河三角洲为背景,选取垦东地区三种典型粉质土海床,基于Terzaghi固结方程和Biot渗流理论,验证了波流作用下多层土海床累积孔压响应模型,探讨了三种不同典型海床累积孔压与液化特征的差异,以及波流参数对海床动力响应的影响。结果表明,上覆硬壳层的海床累积孔压竖向分布出现了两个峰值,并且液化深度可达7.8 m,流速、波高和水深对累积孔压影响显著,而周期影响相对较小。此外,当波浪传播方向顺流时,随着流速的增大,上层土体累积孔压逐渐增大,降低了海床的稳定性。

金塘大桥桥墩附近的海床冲刷

东起舟山市金塘岛的沥港镇,跨越灰鳖洋,西至宁波市镇海区新泓口的金塘大桥,为舟山大陆连岛工程的主体.大桥全长为18.5 km,海面桥墩近350个,桥墩附近海床冲刷深度主要包括因风浪和潮流引起的自然冲刷、因建桥使过水断面缩窄而产生的一般冲刷和桥墩阻水形成的马蹄形漩流引起的局部冲刷.河流上桥墩局部冲刷已进行过大量研究,建立了可供设计使用的桥墩冲刷计算公式,而金塘大桥位于灰鳖洋海域,作用水流为极其复杂的往复流,使海床局部冲刷深度难以利用现有公式进行计算,因此采用海域实测地形资料分析了桥轴线附近的海床自然冲刷,利用水槽正态模型试验模拟研究了桥墩附近的一般冲刷和局部冲刷.实测资料表明,该海域潮流流速大小与潮差有较好的相关关系,潮差越大,潮流流速也越大,而桥墩的局部冲刷深度也随流速的增大而增大,因此,选取潮差频率为300年一遇和10年一遇的特大潮分别作为运行期和施工期的潮流边界.桥位所处的海床较为稳定,故以最新的实测地形各桥墩处高程作为冲刷试验起始高程.试验初期桥墩附近海床快速下切形成冲刷坑,随后冲刷值迅速减小,海床渐趋稳定.研究表明,该大桥所处海域总体上趋于动态平衡状态,桥轴线东段微冲、西段微淤.运行期金塘大桥附近的海床自然冲刷,一般均在1.1 m以内,仅在主槽附近较大,约5 m左右.试验表明,潮流作用下桥墩附近的一般冲刷和局部冲刷均明显大于自然冲刷幅度,主墩最大局部冲刷幅度为14.4 m,引桥桥墩最大局部冲刷幅度为7.8～10.3 m;据此可得到桥墩附近海床的总体冲刷幅度和设计高程,不仅为工程建设、运行的安全性及经济性提供了坚实的技术支撑,而且可供其它海域建桥后桥墩附近海床的冲刷研究提供参考.     

1985年以来黄河三角洲东营港工程变化与海床冲淤演变响应关系

河口三角洲区域地质环境脆弱，对环境变化响应敏感，三角洲港口冲淤演变受工程结构影响较大。黄河三角洲的东营港区域以粉砂质海岸为主，区域内泥沙运移活跃，此类区域港口建设的关键问题在于工程结构导致的海床冲淤变化。通过东营港建港以来实测水深数据构建水下地形数字高程模型(DEM)，并结合水动力数值模拟，探讨了东营港冲淤演变过程和工程影响。结果表明，由于波浪和潮流导致的海底地形变化，东营港近岸海域的冲淤演变形势已从单一侵蚀转变到近岸侵蚀、离岸淤积的新情势；工程结构影响局地潮流流速和流向，口门处出现高速横流，最大流速可达0.7 m/s；高流速导致北防波堤的堤头位置出现直径约1 km的冲刷坑；工程结构的遮蔽区有促淤效应，遮蔽区大小与潮流流向、工程结构-岸线夹角有关，但在波浪、余流的作用下，2007-2015年工程结构遮蔽区依旧存在0.5 m以上的侵蚀。持续的侵蚀作用使海域防波堤和海堤的不稳定性加剧，迫切需要加强检测与防护。     

舟山蛏子港深水网箱养殖环境分析

根据2001年11月1～10日在舟山蛏子港进行水文调查所获取的水深、海流、盐度、悬浮体等资料,对蛏子港深水网箱养殖的环境条件进行了分析,结果表明:该港海区海水平均流速为35.1～100cm/s的出现频率占56%～84%,表、底层盐度平均值为25.227～26.045,悬浮体含量为0.1～0.399kg/m3的出现频率达92%;港区有多个口门与外海相通,海域水体交换活跃。另外,该港的水深和避风条件也基本符合深水网箱养殖的要求,是一个比较适合于海水鱼深水网箱养殖的基地。     

基于Flow-3D的抗拖网海床基冲刷数值模拟

基于Flow-3D软件,建立抗拖网海床基沙土基床冲刷的三维数学模型,控制水流流速和泥沙粒径,对不同条件下抗拖网海床基周围沙土基床的冲刷进行数值模拟,并分析了抗拖网海床基最大冲刷深度随这两种因素改变的趋势。结果表明,抗拖网海床基沙土基床冲刷坑深度随海流流速增大而增加,在设定其他条件不改变的情况下,冲刷坑的加深速度随着流速增大会逐渐减缓,最终达到冲淤平衡。同时,由于海底环境复杂多变,导致模型与实际情况有一定的差异,还需在后续的研究中进一步进行优化。     

深水悬链锚泊线粘性阻尼计算

深水悬链锚泊线既为上部浮体运动提供恢复力,同时也提供阻尼力,其中阻尼力主要是由于上部浮体运动牵动悬链锚泊线局部振动和整体运动耗散能量而形成的拖曳粘性阻尼力.利用单根锚泊线由于上部浮体运动而吸收的能量来计算锚泊线的拖曳粘性阻尼.锚泊线和海床之间的接触作用基于刚性海床假定,利用Morrison公式计算锚泊线的惯性力和拖曳力荷载.用有限元方法进行非线性时域动力分析,分别计算静水条件和考虑流速分布两种工况下,上部浮体发生慢漂运动、波频运动以及两者组合运动时的锚泊线动力响应,比较不同工况下锚泊线的最大张力和粘性阻尼.     

三门湾近期水动力特性观测研究

利用2013年夏季包括大、中、小潮的三门湾大范围、同步水文观测资料,系统分析了三门湾近期潮动力的时空变化特征.结果表明,三门湾属于强潮海湾,湾顶处的各项潮汐特征值均大于湾口处.潮汐属于正规半日潮性质,潮波在向湾顶传播过程中浅水分潮增强明显.涨、落潮流历时相当,涨、落潮平均流速大小也比较接近,整体上优势流保持在45%~58%之间,涨落潮动力相对平衡.涨、落潮流矢表现出明显的往复流运动形式,整体涨落潮流向顺应三门湾的平面形态,主流向与湾内等深线基本平行.底摩擦对潮流的垂向结构作用明显,流速在垂向方向存在着明显的差异,大致成对数型结构分布,即表层或次表层流速最大,越靠下层流速越小,底层流速最小.各个测站之间,底层流速相对集中,越靠上层各测站之间流速大小差异越大,表层和次表层各站点之间流速大小差异最大.流速梯度极大值出现在急流附近,流速梯度的极小值出现在憩流附近.海床底部的粗糙度对流速梯度有着较大的影响.     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

Assessing the Validity of Seismo-Acoustic Predictor Equations for Obtaining Seabed and Sub-Surface Sediment Physical Properties

The interdependence between the seismo-acoustic properties of a marine sediment and its geotechnical/physical parameters has been known for many years, and it has been postulated that this should allow the extraction of geotechnical information from seismic data. Though in the literature many correlations have been published for the surficial layer, there is a lack of information for greater sediment depths. In this article, a desktop study on a synthetic seafloor model illustrates how the application of published near-surface prediction equations to subsurface sediments (up to several tens of meters burial depth) can lead to spurious predictions. To test this further, acoustic and geotechnical properties were measured on a number of sediment core samples, some of which were subjected to loading in acoustically-equipped consolidation cells (oedometers) to simulate greater burial depth conditions. For low effective pressures (representing small burial depths extending to around 10 meters subsurface), the general applicability of established relationships was confirmed: the prediction of porosity, bulk density, and mean grain size from acoustic velocity and impedance appears generally possible for the investigated sedimentary environments. As effective pressure increases through, the observed relationships deviate more and more from the established ones for the near-surface area. For the samples tested in this study, in some instances increasing pressure even resulted in decreasing velocities. There are several possible explanations for this abnormal behavior, including the presence of gas, overconsolidation, or bimodal grain size distribution. The results indicate that an appropriate depth correction must be introduced into the published prediction equations in order to obtain reliable estimates of physical sediment properties for greater subsurface depths.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

Interannual Sea Level Variations and Annual Tides in the Northwestern Pacific

Specific properties of the interannual sea level variations and annual tides in the Northwestern Pacific were studied. Several tide stations were monitored. The monthly mean sea level for the year of 1995 was analyzed at each tide station. A seismic event in 1995, some tectonic activity around the subject area, and the Kuroshio (the oceanic western boundary current) may possibly contaminate results which would have occurred from the astronomical annual tide alone.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.     

Flow Cytometric Analysis of Coastal Lagoon Bacterioplankton and Picophytoplankton: Fixation and Storage Effects

The effect of different fixation and storage protocols on the flow cytometric (FCM) simultaneous analysis of bacterioplankton and phytoplankton in coastal seawater samples (Mediterranean coastal lagoons) was investigated. FCM measurements (cell number, fluorescence and scatter characteristics) were obtained through DAPI staining. Three fixatives [glutaraldehyde (GA), formaldehyde (FA) and paraformaldehyde (PFA)] and two storage (3 months duration) methods (5 °C and −196 °C) were tested. Two dominant populations were detected in studied samples: bacteria and eukaryotic picophytoplankton. Adding fixatives (2% final concentration) appears necessary to obtain FCM exhaustive counts of all the bacteria and phytoplanktonic cells. This was related to the permeation effect of fixatives which allowed a better DAPI staining of the cells. Maximum fluorescence, i.e. optimal staining of the cells was obtained with FA or PFA, and significant lower fluorescences with GA. Fixed samples stored at 5 °C induced rapid cell loss. Only storage in liquid nitrogen of samples fixed with FA or PFA, allows mid-term (≥4 months) preservation of bacteria or picophytoplankton cell numbers, and limited evolution of DAPI-induced fluorescence and scatter characteristics.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.
