Transport rate of calcareous sand in unidirectional flow

This paper examines the transport of calcareous sand in unidirectional flow and its prediction through existing sediment transport models. A flume experiment of four sand samples collected on Oahu, Hawaii, provides 29 sets of sediment transport data in the bed-form and suspended transport stages. The measured transport data are compared with direct predictions from four energy-based transport models developed for siliceous particles. Corrections for the grain-size, fall velocity, and critical velocity of calcareous sand based on recent research are applied to the models and the results are compared with the direct calculations and measured data. The comparison illustrates the important role particle shape plays in the transport of calcareous sand. All four sediment transport models give consistent predictions and good agreement with the majority of the measured data. Two of the models respond positively to the corrections in both the bed-form and suspended transport stages indicating that such an approach may provide an interim solution for the transport of calcareous sand.     

GRAVITY GRADIENT TENSORS DUE TO A POLYHEDRON WITH POLYGONAL FACETS1

Using the conjugate complex variables formulation, closed-form formulae for the gravity gradient tensors of the gravitational potential due to a homogeneous polyhedral body composed of polygonal facets are derived. The treatise considers the cases of the observation point being inside the polyhedron, on the surface of a facet, or outside the polyhedron.     

在特殊疫情背景下《城市地理资讯学》MOOC课程教学实施效果分析

在新冠肺炎疫情期间,线上教学大规模开展,相关线上教学问题逐渐成为研究热点。传统的测绘地理类课程的教学方式主要是上课时以老师传授知识为主,课后以学生完成作业为辅的方式进行。但是,这种教学方式比较单一,并且在科学化考核和促进学生学习主动性等方面存在诸多问题。然而,线上网络课程是通过互联网以电子设备为教学平台,具有不受教学时空限制、教学方法灵活多样和丰富学生的学习方式等优点。因此,对《城市地理资讯学》MOOC(massive online open courses)课程实施效果进行分析,为其他测绘地理类网络课程设计提供优化思路,同时为无法进行面授教学的特殊时期提供一种有效的教学方案。     

考虑地表径流与地下渗流耦合的斜坡降雨入渗研究

为简化分析，在模拟斜坡降雨入渗暂态渗流时，通常没有考虑入渗和产流的耦合过程。笔者提出了一种新的考虑地表径流与地下渗流耦合的斜坡降雨入渗分析方法，它较好地模拟了入渗和产流的过程，并通过算例，研究了考虑与不考虑该耦合作用对斜坡孔隙水压力分布的影响。     

香港GPS基准站坐标序列特征分析

利用香港GPS连续运行参考站网络2001年1月至2007年8月的观测资料,全面深入地分析了12个基准站坐标序列特征.本文采用主成分空间滤波算法去除公共误差,来提高坐标序列的信噪比,并采用最大似然估计准则定量估计滤波后坐标序列的噪声特性,计算了地球表面质量负荷（包括大气、非潮汐海洋、积雪和土壤水）对香港GPS基准站坐标序列的影响.研究结果表明：香港GPS基准站坐标序列具有高度的空间相关性,其公共误差具有较强的季节性变化特征;地表质量负荷变化引起的香港地壳形变可以解释公共误差序列中约为3mm的垂向周年变化,经过质量负荷改正后的公共误差序列与高阶电离层误差高度相关;滤波后坐标序列的噪声特性可以用可变白噪声加闪烁噪声模型来描述,顾及闪烁噪声所计算的速度误差要比只考虑可变白噪声计算的速度误差大2~6倍;基准站间存在达1.5 mm/yr的相对水平运动,揭示香港地区存在活动断层;部分基准站坐标具有明显的振幅为1～2 mm本地季节性变化,所有测站的残差序列也表现出强烈的季节性变化.
