AbstractWith the continuous expansion of energy demand, the deep-water continental slope in the northern South China Sea has become one of the significant offshore oil and gas exploration regions. The frequent occurrence of marine geological hazards in this region, especially submarine landslides, can cause serious damage to engineering facilities. However, there have been few studies on the stability of the northern continental slope of the South China Sea; these studies mainly focused on a specific submarine slope or small-range evaluation, resulting in a lack of large-scale and quantitative understanding. Hence, considering the variation in the physical and mechanical properties of marine soils with depth, formulas for calculating the safety factor of submarine slopes by an infinite sliding model are established, and the factors affecting slope stability such as soil properties, slope gradient and horizontal seismic action are systematically investigated. Using GIS techniques, the terrain slope gradients and a historical seismic database of the northern South China Sea are obtained. Combined with soil mechanical parameters, a regional stability evaluation of the northern continental slope is carried out. Furthermore, the distribution of risk zones is given. On the whole, under strong seismic action, large-scale submarine slope instability occurs and must be highly considered when assessing risk. This achievement is of great significance to engineering sites, route selection and engineering risk assessment. 相似文献
Since most coalfields in China are commonly characterized by high gas content and low permeability, there is an urgent need to improve coal seam permeability and further enhance coal bed methane (CBM) extraction efficiency. As an emerging fracturing technology, the CO2 gas fracturing (CGF) technology has been widely used because of its advantages of low cost, environmental protection and high fragmentation efficiency. In order to improve the fracturing ability of CGF technique and optimize the release orifices of discharge head, computational fluid dynamics model was used in this paper to simulate the flow fields of dynamic pressure of gas jet released from the orifices with different structures and other geometrical parameters. The results show that the orifice structure has a great influence on the flow field of gas jet, but little influence on the magnitude of the dynamic pressure. Besides, the maximum dynamic pressure of gas jet linearly decreases with the increase in the number of release orifices. Based on a series of simulation results, the discharge head which has single group of orifices with structure c, diameter of 24 mm can be identified as the best choice for fieldwork. Then, two field experiments were conducted in Pingdingshan and Changping coal mines to evaluate the enhanced CBM extraction efficiency by CGF. The results indicate that the CGF can effectively create a large number of cracks in a large range around the fracturing borehole in the coal seam and further significantly improve the permeability. And the CBM extraction efficiency can be improved to a higher level from a lower level and maintained for a long time. Besides, the effective influence radii caused by CGF in Pingdingshan and Changping coal mines are 15.19 m and 12.5 m, respectively. Compared with other fracturing techniques, the CGF technique has a promising application prospect.
We use the Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm to extract one-dimensional(1 D) spectra from Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope(LAMOST) spectrum images. Compared with other deconvolution algorithms, this algorithm is much faster. The application on a real LAMOST image illustrates that the 1 D spectrum resulting from this method has a higher signal-to-noise ratio and resolution than those extracted by the LAMOST pipeline. Furthermore, our algorithm can effectively suppress the ringings that are often present in the 1 D resulting spectra generated by other deconvolution methods. 相似文献
Creating appropriate colour schemes is challenging for both novice and experienced cartographers. This paper introduces an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to automatically create various colour schemes. Colour scheme creation is treated as a constrained search problem in a continuous colour space. We considered the gamut of the target device and a series of cartographic rules, such as convention, discrimination, contrast, perceptual uniformity and brightness mirror, in the ABC algorithm and presented detailed initialization, fitness definition, local exploration, and global exploration methods for creating qualitative, sequential and diverging colour schemes. The proposed method is evaluated with a case study, and the results indicate that compared with the brute force search method, the proposed method can create satisfying colour schemes of similar quality but significantly improved efficiency. 相似文献
