The effect of bed mobility on resistance to overland flow

When sediment grains are transported as bed load in overland flow, there is a net transfer of momentum from the flow to the grains. When these grains collide with other grains, whether on the bed or in the flow, streamwise flow velocity decreases and resistance to flow increases. Resistance to flow generated in this manner is termed bed‐load transport resistance. Resistance to flow f over a plane bed may be partitioned into grain resistance f_g and bed‐load transport resistance f_bt. We use the symbols f_btf and f_btm to denote f_bt for flows over fixed beds and over mobile beds, respectively, and we compute the effect of bed mobility on flow resistance f_mob by subtracting f_btf from f_btm. The data for this study come from 54 flume experiments with fixed beds and 38 with mobile beds. On average f_mob is approximately equal to half of f_btm, which is about one‐quarter of f. Hence, f_mob is about one‐tenth of f. Predictive equations are developed for f_btf, f_btm and f_mob using dimensional analysis to identify the relevant independent variables and regression analysis to evaluate the coefficients associated with these variables. Values of f_mob are always positive which implies that mobile beds offer greater resistance to flow than do fixed beds. Evidently bed‐load grains colliding with mobile beds lose more momentum to the bed than do grains colliding with fixed beds. In other words, grain collisions with mobile beds are less elastic than those with fixed beds. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Introduction The 21st century is the time for the exploitation and utilization of underground spaces. It is astrategic way to defeat the severe challenge that human are now confronting with, such as the lackof land, contamination of environment, traffic jam, waste of sources, and so on. The exploitationand utilization of underground space has become a global tendency, and a significant sign inevaluating the speed of modernization of cities.

吉林龙岗火山区形变特征与隆升机理分析

吉林龙岗火山区是第四纪活动火山,具有潜在喷发危险。通过GNSS和水准资料分析区域三维地壳运动,得出2011—2019年相对欧亚板块水平运动以东南向为主,速度＜10 mm/a。敦化-密山断裂以东受日本2011年“3·11地震”影响强烈,现以拉张运动为主;近年来水准资料揭示火山区垂直运动以隆升为主。2014—2019年的InSAR资料显示隆升集中在靖宇一带。结合MT剖面反演得到的深部电性结构,龙岗火山区西侧高阻体分布在深度18 km以上,金龙顶子火山下方最浅。中部为早期喷发形成的火山,下方高阻体分布在深度40 km以上,东侧抚松一带分布在深度约20 km以上,地壳范围内的高阻结构表明岩浆已固结。高阻结构层可分辨出断层两侧电阻的差异性。高阻体下方存在大规模低阻结构,推测为中下地壳岩浆系统。金龙顶子火山深度10 km以下的低阻结构可能为岩浆通道,并与中下地壳岩浆系统相连。东侧区域岩浆平均深度约30 km,相对较浅。龙岗火山区幔源物质的上涌及间断性的向上运移引起地壳隆升及地震活动。     

对多分量地震资料P-和SV-波场分解

在多分量地震勘探资料中,水平和垂直分量都记录有P波和SV波。本文研究了P波和SV波波场分解的方法。当上行P波和S波分别入射时,通过研究它们引起的水平和垂直位移,把地震记录的水平和垂直分量进行分解,得到纵波和转换波;在已知海底介质中纵横波速度和介质密度的情况下,可以在τ-P域内实现波场分解,然后变换到时间域,得到时间域内的纵波和转换波剖面。把本文研究的波场分解方法应用于合成资料,能够有效地分解得到纵波波场和转换波波场。最后,海上多分量实际资料的实例应用表明,本文研究的波场分解方法是可行有效的。本方法也适用于自由表面的资料。     

建立回弹现场测强曲线的位置参数法

工程上迫切需要在现场数据较少的情况下,建立高精度和高可靠度的现场测强曲线(经验公式)。本文利用位置参数法,提出了一种回弹法现场测强曲线(经验公式)。此曲线(经验公式)仍运用原有的幂函数形式并保持回归参数不变,通过增加位置参数反映现场试验的个性信息。此曲线(经验公式)融合了所在地区混凝土强度值、回弹值、碳化深度值之间的共性趋势和现场检测得到的反映现场情况的个性信息,而且解决了地区测强曲线(经验公式)不能完全描述现场的实际情况,而现场检测数据一般不能满足制定现场专用测强曲线(经验公式)要求的问题。在建筑结构无损检测中,利用本文提出的测强曲线(经验公式)可以极大地提高检测精度和检测结果的可靠性,使检测结果更加符合施工现场的实际情况。

Drying increases organic colloidal mobilization in the karst vadose zone: Evidence from a 15-year cave-monitoring study

Understanding the hydrological processes of colloids within the karst vadose zone is vital to the security of karst groundwater and providing appropriate paleohydrological explanations of colloid-facilitated metals in speleothem. This study addresses the mobilization mechanisms driving colloidal organic matter (COM) transport in the karst vadose zone using a 15-year long monthly monitoring dataset from a cave drip point (HS4) in Heshang Cave, Qingjiang Valley, China. Variations in COM concentrations were reported as the fluorescence difference values of raw and filtered (<0.22 μm) samples at an excitation wavelength of 320 nm and emission wavelength of ~400 nm. A fluorescence humification index (HIX) lower than 0.8 and an autochthonous index (BIX) higher than 1.2 indicated that the origin of COM was mainly from the karst vadose zone, rather than the soil zone. The COM concentration varied from 0.001 to 0.038 Raman Unit (RU), with evident seasonal fluctuations. Rising limbs for COM values occurred prior to rising limbs within a dripwater hydrograph; moreover, the COM peak values corresponding to the beginning of the increasing hydrograph generally suggested that the mobilization of COM reflected the movement of the air–water interface (AWI) in the karst vadose zone rather than rainfall intensity or flow velocity. COM peak values were positively correlated with the antecedent drying duration and negatively correlated with HIX values. These phenomena may be explained by the increased amount of organic matter that was aggregated and absorbed on the surface of carbonate in the karst vadose zone during a longer drying duration. Moreover, the longer drying duration was also beneficial to autochthonous biological activity, which subsequently decreased the HIX value of the organic matter in the karst vadose zone. The movement of AWI and the drying duration are both controlled by the outside weather conditions. This study is therefore conducive to evaluating the security of karst groundwater in response to climate change, and challenges prevailing paleoclimate interpretations of colloid-facilitated metal abundance timeseries reported from speleothems.
