内孤立波与海脊相互作用的模拟研究

A nonhydrostatic numerical model was developed and numerical experiments performed on the interaction of an internal solitary wave(ISW) with a sill, for a two-layer fluid with a diffusive interface. Based on the blocking parameter(Br), the flow was classified into three cases:(1) when bottom topography has little influence on the propagation and spatial structure of the ISW(Br0.5),(2) where the ISW is distorted significantly by the blocking effect of the topography(though no wave breaking occurs,(0.5Br0.7), and(3) where the ISW is broken as it encounters and passes over the bottom topography(0.7Br). The numerical results obtained here are consistent with those obtained in laboratory experiments. The breaking process of the incident ISW when Br≈0.7 was completely reproduced. Dissipation rate was linearly related to the blocking parameter when Br0.7, and the maximum dissipation rate could reach about 34% as Br raised to about 1.0. After that, instead of breaking, more reflection happened. Similarly, breaking induced mixing was also most effective during Br around 1.0, and can be up to 0.16.     

西江磨刀门水道枯季咸淡水混合特征和二氧化碳分压分布

为了探讨珠江三角洲西江磨刀门水道枯季咸淡水混合特征与水体二氧化碳分压变化的关系,2006年12月18日沿磨刀门水道实测了36个样点表层水体的理化参数。采用相关分析和曲线拟合的方法,分析了表层水体二氧化碳分压的分布特征,结果表明,水体二氧化碳分压值介于147~364 Pa,平均值为201 Pa,随航距呈现出复杂多变的减小趋势,其复杂突变发生在航距24~38 km(即盐度3~6)内。分析认为,咸淡水混合及其潮汐冲刷作用影响了理化参数的时空变化,控制着河流碳的生物地球化学行为。
