Numerical Modeling of the Hyperbolic Mild-Slope Equation in Curvilinear Coordinates

The mild-slope equation is familiar to coastal engineers as it can effectively describe wave propagation in nearshore regions. However,its computational method in Cartesian coordinates often renders the model inaccurate in areas with irregular shorelines,such as estuaries and harbors. Based on the hyperbolic mild-slope equation in Cartesian coordinates,the numerical model in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates is developed. The transformed model is discretized by the finite difference method and solved by th...     

Numerical Analysis on the Effects of Submerged Depth of the Grid and Direction of Incident Wave on Gravity Cage

In this paper,the numerical model of the net cage with the grid mooring system in waves is set up by the lumped mass method and rigid kinematics theory,and then the motion equations of floating system,net system,mooring system,and floaters are solved by the Runge-Kutta fifth-order method.For the verification of the numerical model,a series of physical model tests have been carried out.According to the comparisons between the simulated and experimental results,it can be found that the simulated and experimental results agree well in each condition.Then,the effects of submerged depth of grid and direction of incident wave propagation on hydrodynamic behaviors of the net cage are analyzed.According to the simulated results,it can be found that with the increase of submerged depth of grid,the forces acting on mooring lines and bridle lines increase,while the forces on grid lines decrease;the horizontal motion amplitudes of floating collar decrease obviously,while the vertical motion amplitudes of floating collar change little.When the direction of incident wave propagation changes,forces on mooting lines and motion of net cage also change accordingly.When the propagation direction of incident wave changes from 0° to 45°,forces on the main ropes and bridle ropes increase,while the forces on the grid ropes decrease.With the increasing propagation direction of incident wave,the horizontal amplitude of the forces collar decreases,while the vertical amplitude of the floating collar has little variation.     

An Efficient Model for Transient Surface Waves in Both Finite and Infinite Water Depths

A numerical model is developed to simulate fully nonlinear extreme waves in finite and infinite water-depth wave tanks. A semi-mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation is adopted and a higher-order boundary element method in conjunction with an image Green function is used for the fluid domain. The boundary values on the free surface are updated at each time step by a fourth-order Runga-Kutta time-marching scheme at each time step. Input wave characteristics are specified at the upstream boundary by an appropr...     

Numerical Study of Influence of Currents on Nonlinear Focusing Waves

In this paper,a numerical model for nonlinear wave propagation in currents is formulated by a set of enhanced fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations with ambient currents.This model is verified by comparison with the published results.Then the influence of currents on nonlinear focusing waves is studied by use of the numerical model.It is found that the effect of currents on the surface elevations at the focal location is negligible.Following currents can augment the maximum crest of focusing wave while decre...     

辽宁西部九佛堂组昼蜓化石的新发现及其地质意义

发现于辽宁省义县早白垩世九佛堂组上段地层中的昼蜓化石(孟氏丽昼蜓Abrohemeroscopus mengi Ren，Liu et Chen，2003)与北京西山卢尚坟组的巴依萨昼蜓(Hemeroscopus baissicus Pritykina，1977)在形态上比较相似，但在演化程度上更为原始，主要体现在后翅臀套较小(仅有6～7个翅室)，径增脉(Rspl)缺，后翅CuAa脉弯曲、带有5个明显的后分支，前翅MP脉短、终止于翅后缘近翅结处，翅痣下有一个明显的支脉，后翅CuAa和MP域基部较窄、在三角室下方仅有1排翅室。据此，九佛堂组上段的地质时代定为早白垩世早期(Berriasian-Hauterivian)较为合理。     

近场强地震动模拟中对破裂的方向性效应和上盘效应的表达.

为了模拟近场强地震动，采用了基于有限断层模型的一种随机合成方法．震源破裂面被剖分成一定数量的子源，总的地震矩分成数量更多的子震的矩．一给定子源中一次子震引起的场地地震动的傅氏谱，通过考虑点源的谱、随着距离的衰减、能量耗散及近地表效应等导出．据此幅值谱和一个随机相位谱，并与一个时程包络函数结合，合成一个子震时程．将各子源中各个子震引起的所有时程叠加，得出场地的地震动时程．叠加中，各子震时程之间的时滞，据子震发震时差和子源至场地的距离差别引起的时差确定．对一个设定地震，选用4个断层面倾角，计算了近场21个地点的地震动．结果表明，本文方法可以很好地表达破裂的方向性效应和上盘效应．为了验证方法的可靠性，对1994年美国北岭地震中3个近断层台站MCN，LV3和PCD模拟的地震动与实际记录的加速度反应谱和时程作了比较．      

New Material of Sinosauropteryx (Theropoda:Compsognathidae) from Western Liaoning,China

An incomplete specimen of Sinosauropteryx prima collected from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of the Dawangzhangzi area in Lingyuan, western Liaoning is depicted. It represents the first systematically described material of this feathered compsognathid outside the Sihetun area in Beipiao. This specimen shows some diagnostic features of Sinosauropteryx prima, such as the very short forelimb in relation to hindlimb with the length ratio of humerus plus radius to femur plus tibia just around 30%, and the long and massive first manual ungual subequal in length to radius. The presence of Sinosauropteryx prima only at Sihetun and Dawangzhangzi supports the suggestion that the fossil-bearing beds in the Sihetun and Dawangzhangzi areas are equivalent to each other within the Yixian Formation.
