Experimental study of surface texture and resonance mechanism of booming sand

The sound-producing mechanism of booming sand has long been a pending problem in the blown sand physics. Based on the earlier researches, the authors collected some silent sand samples from Teng- ger Desert, Australian Desert, Kuwait Desert, beaches of Hainan Island and Japanese coast as well as the soundless booming sand samples from the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang to make washing ex- periments. In the meantime the chemical corrosion experiment of glass micro-spheres, surface coating experiment and SEM examination were also conducted. The experimental results show that the sound production of booming sand seems to have nothing to do with the presence of SiO2 gel on the surface of sand grains and unrelated to the surface chemical composition of sand grains but is related to the resonance cavities formed by porous (pit-like) physical structure resulting from a number of factors such as wind erosion, water erosion, chemical corrosion and SiO2 gel deposition, etc. Its resonance mechanism is similar to that of Hemholz resonance cavity. Under the action of external forces, nu- merous spherical and sand grains with smooth surface and porous surface are set in motion and rub with each other to produce extremely weak vibration sound and then become audible sound by human ears through the magnification of surface cavity resonance. However the booming sands may lose their resonance mechanism and become silent sand due to the damping action caused by the invasion of finer particles such as dust and clay into surface holes of sand grains. Therefore, clearing away fine pollutants on the quartz grain surface is an effective way to make silent sand emit audible sound.

岩体风化程度量化分带研究

岩体风化程度分带，是常用于区分地壳表部岩体工程地质性质优劣的一种较老的岩体质量分类，由于参与风化带划分的因素中定量指标较少，因而造成分带的误差较大。从风化岩体裂缝发育程度的变化、岩体完整性的变化和岩体结构的变化出发，研究用岩体裂隙间距、岩石质量指标、岩体完整性系数和原有的定性因素，对风化岩进行量化分带。

The Geothermal Study of the Mid-Segment of the Tancheng-Lujiang Fault Zone and Its Neighboring Region

In this paper,25 new terrestrial heat flow values newly observed along the mid-segment of the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone are listed.With these geothermal data and 37 other terrestrial heat flow values(previously published),we describe the distribution features of terrestrial heat flows in the area.In this research,the two-dimensional temperature structure from the surface to lithospheric bottom of the Huaibei-Sixian-Jinhu profile is inferred by using the finite-element method and the temperature and heat flow of sedimentary,granitic,and basaltic layers is calculated.

山西断陷带是我国著名的地震活动带之一,其地震活动频繁,强度大,震源浅,破坏性严重。山西断陷带地热场特征:各断陷盆地内部大地热流值或地温梯度值都比较高,吕梁山隆起区和太岳山丘陵区则比较低。提出清徐、临汾、蒲县、柳林四个地区的地壳、上地幔热结构,分别计算沉积岩层、花岗岩质层和玄武岩质层底部的温度和热流值。采用逐步逼近法计算浮山—临汾—蒲县剖面二维岩石圈地温结构。并用断陷盆地内的临汾、吕梁山隆起区的柳林、太岳山隆起区的沁源地区的大地热流值推导其岩石圈厚度和底部温度。地热异常影响着地震的孕育和发生,重点探讨了地球内热与地震孕育和发生的内在联系。

Pulsatory characteristics of wind velocity in sand flow over typical underlying surfaces

Pulsatory characteristics of wind velocity in sand flow over Gobi and mobile sand surface have been investigated experimentally in the wind tunnel. The primary goal of this paper is to reveal the relation- ship between pulsatory characteristics of instantaneous wind speed in sand flow and the motion state of sand grains. For a given underlying surface, pulsation of wind velocities in sand flow on different heights has a good correlation. As the space distance among different heights increases, fluctuation of instantaneous wind speed presents a decreasing trend and its amplitude is closely related to the mo- tion state of sand grains and their transport. Pulsatory intensity increases with the indicated wind speed, but its relative value does not depend on it, only agrees with height.
