A MODELING STUDY OF INHOMOGENEOUS COASTAL GALES ASSOCIATED WITH THE LANDFALL OF TYPHOON SOUDELOR (2015)

In this study, coastal gales and rainfall attributed to the landfall of Typhoon Soudelor (2015) are analyzed based on observational dense automatic weather stations data, advanced scatterometer-retrieved 10-m ocean surface wind data and simulations using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. This study focuses on gale bands in the right-front quadrant of the typhoon and associated coastal winds over Zhejiang and Fujian Provinces in China before the landfall of the typhoon. The results are summarized as follows. (1) 10-m surface wind data from automatic weather stations over land and islands, advanced scatterometer-retrieved 10-m ocean surface wind data, and the WRF simulation indicate similar mesoscale offshore gales. (2) The model simulation with a 333-m grid mesh indicates a gale zone over the right-front quadrant of the typhoon; the gale is “broken” over the coastal areas, and formed an inhomogeneous gale band. (3) The model-simulated winds agree well with the island observations. (4) Non-uniform gales over boundary layers result in horizontal wind-speed gradients and strong convergence that favors the development of convection and the maintenance of ocean surface gales.     

Vertical dynamic response of an inhomogeneous viscoelastic pile

The vertical dynamic response of an inhomogeneous viscoelastic pile embedded in layered soil subjected to axial loading has been investigated. The interaction between pile and soil is simulated by a general Voigt model, one that has been demonstrated by earlier investigators to be capable of representing the plane strain case of soil adequately. The analytical solutions of pile responses in the frequency domain are obtained by using the (two-sided) Laplace transform. The corresponding semi-analytical solutions in the time domain for the case of a pile subjected to an instantaneous half-sine exciting force applied at the pile top are obtained via Fourier transform inversion. Using these solutions, a parametric study of the influence of the pile and soil properties on the vertical dynamic responses has been undertaken. It is shown that an abrupt variation of the soil properties with depth cannot yield evident reflection signal that may lead geotechnical engineers to assess the pile integrity wrongly from the velocity curve of the pile top, and the influence of viscosity of the pile material on the response is different from that of the damping of the soil surrounding the pile. The theoretical model developed in the present paper has also been validated in field studies, where it is shown by means of three examples that the solution developed in this study has been adequately verified by comparison of the theoretical pile model and field measurements of the dynamic responses.

方位梯度电极系的正反演

针对环井周的非均质地层模型,利用三维有限元方法模拟了方位梯度电极系的测井响应．结果表明,在非均质程度比较小的情况下,各个方位上的响应之间差别不大,与真实的电阻率分布差别也不大;反之,则差别很大．其特点是所测得的响应远远低于较高的真电阻率值,而接近较低的真电阻率值．因此,有必要对测井响应进行校正．考虑到传统的校正方法的弊端,本文利用非线性反演方法求取真实的电阻率分布,数值模拟的结果表明了此方法的可行性．

针对震后废墟中无法精确检测出电磁波的传输特性问题,本文提出了一种在震后废墟中Wi-Fi信号场强的检测方法。首先是对Wi-Fi信号场强在组成震后废墟主要介质中的传输特性进行检测推导。然后通过测量在废墟不同距离下场强的大小,即可推导出废墟下电磁波的场强与传输距离的关系,最后得出场强在震后废墟中的传输模型。实验表明,该传输模型的计算结果准确度高,对震后废墟中电磁波传输特性的检测具有重要意义。
