巨浪冲蚀威胁下的海底管道仿生草防护技术

仿生草防护技术是一种通过降低海底管道附近水流的流速,促进沉积物颗粒在海底管道附近进行沉降淤积以防止冲刷发展的防护技术。波生流是近岸地区的重要水动力现象,直接影响海岸地貌演变与输沙过程。通过多组物理模型试验模拟了波浪作用于不同底质条件下仿生草对海底管道冲刷的防护作用以及不同的仿生草布设方式对其防护效果的影响,并对其作用机理进行了初步的分析研究。结合仿生草在平湖海管中的实际应用,证明了仿生草对悬空管道的防护效果明显。波浪在近岸区可能产生较强底流,仿生草技术通过阻尼作用对于砂质海床具有明显的防冲刷效果,但对于粉质海床效果略差,这是由于底质不同造成的。仿生草布设方式对其防护效果至关重要,主要是海底管道两侧的仿生草发挥了防护作用。建议根据具体情况将仿生草技术结合传统方法进行作业实施,以取得更好的效果。     

潮流作用下河口是沙运动二维数学模型

对于粉沙淤泥质河口和海岸,海底泥沙受潮流作用主要以悬沙形式输运。在这样的海区建港与疏浚航道,需要首先进行泥沙淤积问题的研究。本文采用潮流作用下不平衡方程式、挟沙能力公式和起动流速公式,建立了潮流作用下河口悬沙运动二维数学模型,在对二维悬沙不平衡输沙方程和海底变形方程进行离散时直接采用显式迎风格式,得到了较好的结果。在此基础上,将该模型应用于实际水域,结果表明,该数学模型能够模拟河口的悬沙运动规律和冲淤变化,对于水流较大的海域该模型有一定的应用价值     

混凝土联锁排应用于海底电缆防护稳定性研究

海底电缆穿越底质坚硬海床时,覆盖混凝土联锁排可以有效保护海缆。根据国网舟山500 kV海底输电电缆所在海域实测水文数据,采用力学平衡公式和数值模拟两种计算方法,研究混凝土块在极端水流作用下的在位稳定性。基于推导出的力学平衡公式,对其进行函数分析后发现,当混凝土块底边固定时,存在一个极值高度,此时铺设在海床的混凝土块最为稳定,可以抵挡的水流流速最大。通过数值模拟,研究了混凝土联锁排在水流作用下的三维流态特征,对不同形状混凝土块的受力情况进行比较后发现,当混凝土块边缘为圆角时,可以改变边缘周边的水流结构,总体上加强混凝土块的稳定性。经计算,尽管国网舟山500 kV海底输电电缆所在的灰鳖洋海域潮流流速较大,但常规长、宽、高为0.4 m×0.4 m×0.3 m的块体组成的混凝土联锁排可以抵抗水流的冲击,保护海底电缆。     

莱州湾东部外航道回淤预测及影响因素

为探讨外航道回淤特征,采用二维波浪潮流泥沙数学模型,模拟研究了莱州湾东部航道回淤情况并探讨了其影响因素,以期对航道泥沙输运研究提供借鉴。研究表明,正常天气下,水流跨越航道,流速减小、挟沙能力下降导致的悬沙落淤是航道淤积的主要原因,但淤积量有限。大风浪是造成航道淤积的主要动力因素,其淤积泥沙主要来源于海底侵蚀来沙,河流来沙和沿岸输沙对航道淤积的贡献不大。从水深地形、泥沙来源、底质类型、水文动力条件等方面分析,航道发生骤淤的可能性较小。     

透空导流板对海底管线冲刷防护的试验研究

基于海底管线周围流场复杂,管线运行过程中易于出现冲刷悬空破坏等诸多特征。本文根据导流板作用下海底管线的冲刷防护机理,提出了一种透空导流板与海底管线结合的防冲刷措施。通过量纲分析得到了影响海底管线冲刷深度的无量纲公式,并通过物理模型试验,研究了单向流作用时,不同流速、不同管孔比、不同透水比的工况下透空导流板对海底管线的冲刷防护的影响。研究发现,由于透空导流板的存在,泥沙受到的推移力减小,导致泥沙淤积,海底管线的冲坑深度小于无导流板防护的冲坑深度,透空导流板防护的管线最大冲刷深度在管轴线前0.3 D处,且在管线下方冲刷坑深度明显减小。基于试验资料分析,拟合得到了平衡冲刷深度的计算公式,其公式与实测资料拟合较好,说明该公式具有较好的适用性。     

水流作用下管汇结构周围局部冲刷试验研究

水下生产系统的管汇结构是海底油气资源开采的关键设备之一,近年来得到了广泛的应用。放置在海床上的管汇改变了海床泥沙沉积物的输移能力,由此导致结构基础周围冲淤变化。如果结构物周围冲刷深度过大,将会影响结构的正常使用。为预测管汇结构在水流作用下的冲刷形态与冲刷深度,本文通过水槽物理模型试验和分析手段,对恒定流作用下水下生产系统的管汇结构周围的局部冲淤形态及形成机理进行了分析。采用声学多普勒测速仪(ADV)对结构周围流场进行了精确测量,利用测量结果分析了流速分布规律及对结构物周围局部冲刷的影响。得出影响低矮结构物周围局部冲刷的主要水流结构为结构物尖角处的水流加速,马蹄形漩涡的影响较小。对研究低矮结构物周围局部冲刷的影响因素具有重要意义。     

海底边界效应对海流发电水轮机水动力性能影响研究

对30 W海流能水平轴水轮机进行叶片设计,应用FLUENT软件对水轮机的水动力性能进行数值模拟,研究了边界效应对叶片表面压力、流场、湍流强度、获能和轴向力的影响。受海底边界效应影响,海流速度沿深度呈现梯度变化,底层流速较小,中上层流速较大。边界效应导致水轮机的水动力性能呈现周期性变化,降低了水轮机的获能和轴向力。机组布置时,宜选择水流稳定且流速较大的中上层区域。     

厦门高集海堤开口改造工程潮流泥沙物理模型试验研究

通过潮汐水流和悬沙淤积物理模型试验,研究厦门高集海堤开口改造工程潮流泥沙问题,研究表明,高集海堤开口后,东、西海域两股水流的汇流区和分流区在高集海堤附近,东海域涨潮流速有所增大,落潮流速有所减小,西海域则相反;随着开口宽度增大,流速变幅增大,开口大于800 m后流速变幅趋缓;海堤开口后净输水方向为自东海域向西海域,有利于厦门湾内水体与外海的交换;高集海堤开口对东渡港区泥沙淤积影响不大.综合分析认为高集海堤开口宽度800～1 000 m较为合适,开口800 m时大潮条件下1d的净输水量约0.91×108m3,东渡北港区港池年平均回淤强度增大0.18 m/a左右,航道淤强增大0.05 m/a左右.

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.

Evaluation of the Risk of Marine Slope Instability: A Pseudo-3D Approach for Application to Large Areas

This article presents a methodology developed to evaluate the instability of submarine slopes that extend over a large area. Special attention was paid to (1) the complex geometry (bathymetry) and the expanse of the slope, (2) the heterogeneity of the sediment, and (3) the distribution of the pore pressure. The safety factor was considered as a spatially varying quantity. The General Formulation (GLE, Fredlund and Krahn 1977), which fully satisfies equilibrium conditions, was used for evaluating the stability of the marine slope. The submarine slope failure, which occurred on 16 October 1979 during the construction of the new Nice airport, was studied in order to test the developed model. Geotechnical parameters were taken from experimental tests carried out by IFREMER on 19 cores extracted at different depths (from 27 m to 1300 m) (Cochonat, Bourillet, and Savoye, 1993; Mulder et al., 1994). Many scenarios were proposed in order to explain the cause of the Nice slope failure (Habib, 1994). In this article, two of those scenarios were tested. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
