The simulation of surface flow dynamics using a flow-path network model

This paper proposes a flow-path network (FPN) model to simulate complex surface flow based on a drainage-constrained triangulated irregular network (TIN). The TIN was constructed using critical points and drainage lines extracted from a digital terrain surface. Runoff generated on the surface was simplified as ‘water volumes’ at constrained random points that were then used as the starting points of flow paths (i.e. flow source points). The flow-path for each ‘water volume’ was constructed by tracing the direction of flow from the flow source point over the TIN surface to the stream system and then to the outlet of the watershed. The FPN was represented by a set of topologically defined one-dimensional line segments and nodes. Hydrologic variables, such as flow velocity and volume, were computed and integrated into the FPN to support dynamic surface flow simulation. A hypothetical rainfall event simulation on a hilly landscape showed that the FPN model was able to simulate the dynamics of surface flow over time. A real-world catchment test demonstrated that flow rates predicted by the FPN model agreed well with field observations. Overall, the FPN model proposed in this study provides a vector-based modeling framework for simulating surface flow dynamics. Further studies are required to enhance the simulations of individual hydrologic processes such as flow generation and overland and channel flows, which were much simplified in this study.

Stable isotope geochemical characteristics of dissolved inorganic carbon in the Jiulong River Estuary,Fujian Province,China

The isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon （DIC） in estuarine environments has been studied for its significant role in determining the isotopic composition of inorganic/organic matter and its applications to the study of various natural processes. In this paper, based on the stable isotope geochemical characteristics of dis- solved inorganic carbon in the Jiulong River Estuary, the following conclusions are drawn： （1） δ13CDIC values are mainly controlled by the mixing ratio of fresh water and sea water; （2）δ13Cphytoplankton values are linearly related to the δ13CDIC values; （3） δ13CpoM values for the Jiulong River Estuary are affected by anthropogenic pollution signifi- cantly; and （4） the comprehensive analysis of δ13Cphytoplankton, δ13CpoM and δ13CDIc shows that along with increasing salinity, the proportion of POM derived from the degradation of phytoplanktons gradually increases.

脆弱的地质环境(Fragile geological environment)加上大量的工程活动(Fulsome engineering activities)造成了山西省地质灾害与地质环境破坏事件频发(Frequent geological disasters)(简称3F问题链)。脆弱的地质环境表现在:地处黄土高原东部-千沟万壑的地貌形态、吕梁(山)太行(山)夹五盆的多山地形地貌格局、汾河地堑贯穿山西中部和新构造活动活跃、黄土红土软土盐渍土等特殊性土均有分布、植被稀少水土流失严重等。人类工程活动过度:山区城镇建设、工程开发和矿业活动具有密度大、强度高等特点,对地质环境的改造作用十分强烈。各种工程诱发或矿区地质灾害具有成链成族的关联性特征、地质环境破坏形式多样化趋势明显。在分析3F问题链的基础上,探讨了科学解决该类问题应具有系统观和全局观、需要解决的理论问题和整体思路; 深刻认识和深入研究3F问题链也是解决山西省地质灾害与地质环境问题的根本途径。

Hydrocarbon Accumulation Conditions of Ordovician Carbonate in Tarim Basin

<正>Based on comprehensive analysis of reservoir-forming conditions,the diversity of reservoir and the difference of multistage hydrocarbon charge are the key factors for the carbonate hydrocarbon accumulation of the Ordovician in the Tarim Basin.Undergone four major deposition-tectonic cycles, the Ordovician carbonate formed a stable structural framework with huge uplifts,in which are developed reservoirs of the reef-bank type and unconformity type,and resulted in multistage hydrocarbon charge and accumulation during the Caledonian,Late Hercynian and Late Himalayan. With low matrix porosity and permeability of the Ordovician carbonate,the secondary solution pores and caverns serve as the main reservoir space.The polyphase tectonic movements formed unconformity reservoirs widely distributed around the paleo-uplifts;and the reef-bank reservoir is controlled by two kinds of sedimentary facies belts,namely the steep slope and gentle slope.The unconventional carbonate pool is characterized by extensive distribution,no obvious edge water or bottom water,complicated oil/gas/water relations and severe heterogeneity controlled by reservoirs. The low porosity and low permeability reservoir together with multi-period hydrocarbon accumulation resulted in the difference and complex of the distribution and production of oil/gas/water.The distribution of hydrocarbon is controlled by the temporal-spatial relation between revolution of source rocks and paleo-uplifts.The heterogenetic carbonate reservoir and late-stage gas charge are the main factors making the oil/ gas phase complicated.The slope areas of the paleo-uplifts formed in the Paleozoic are the main carbonate exploration directions based on comprehensive evaluation.The Ordovician of the northern slope of the Tazhong uplift,Lunnan and its periphery areas are practical exploration fields.The Yengimahalla-Hanikatam and Markit slopes are the important replacement targets for carbonate exploration.Gucheng,Tadong,the deep layers of Cambrian dolomite in the Lunnan and Tazhong-Bachu areas are favorable directions for research and risk exploration.     

Thermochemical Sulfate Reduction in the Tazhong District,Tarim Basin,Northeast China: Evidence from Formation Water and Natural Gas Geochemistry

<正>Systematic analyses of the formation water and natural gas geochemistry in the Central Uplift of the Tarim Basin(CUTB) show that gas invasion at the late stage is accompanied by an increase of the contents of H_2S and CO_2 in natural gas,by the forming of the high total dissolved solids formation water,by an increase of the content of HCO_3~-,relative to Cl~-,by an increase of the 2nd family ions(Ca~(2+),Mg~(2+),Sr~(2+) and Ba~(2+)) and by a decrease of the content of SO_4~(2-),relative to Cl~-.The above phenomena can be explained only by way of thermochemical sulfate reduction(TSR).TSR often occurs in the transition zone of oil and water and is often described in the following reaction formula:ΣCH+CaSO_4+H-_2O→H_2S+CO_2+CaCO_3.(1) Dissolved SO_4~(2-) in the formation water is consumed in the above reaction,when H_2S and CO_2 are generated,resulting in a decrease of SO_4~(2-) in the formation water and an increase of both H_2S and CO_2 in the natural gas.If formation water exists, the generated CO_2 will go on reacting with the carbonate to form bicarbonate,which can be dissolved in the formation water,thus resulting in the enrichment of Ca~(2+) and HCO_3~-.The above reaction can be described by the following equation:CO_2+H_2O+CaCO_3→Ca~(2+)+2HCO_3~-.The stratigraphic temperatures of the Cambrian and lower Ordovician in CUTB exceeded 120℃,which is the minimum for TSR to occur.At the same time,dolomitization,which might be a direct result of TSR,has been found in both the Cambrian and the lower Ordovician.The above evidence indicates that TSR is in an active reaction,providing a novel way to reevaluate the exploration potentials of natural gas in this district.     

The 2007 Fox Creek landslide,Peace River Lowland,Alberta, Canada

Fox Creek is a small tributary of the Saddle River, a tributary of the Peace River in northwestern Alberta. It has several dormant landslides with degraded scarps and grabens. A new, reactivated landslide on the north bank of the Fox Creek occurred on 5 May 2007. The landslide formed two major sliding blocks. A rapid translational block slide, it mobilized 47 Mm³ of displaced materials, blocked the creek, and made a natural dam with a maximum height of 19 m at the tips of the displaced blocks. The rupture surfaces of the 2007 landslide were within the advance phase glaciolacustrine sediments. The residual friction angles are about 10° similar to those of the previous landslides in the Peace River Lowland. Precipitation and snow melt prior to the landslide are likely triggers of the 2007 Fox Creek landslide. The farmlands on the crest of the river valley and timber resources were impacted. The current landslide dam in Fox Creek does not have any evidence of seepage downstream; it may last for many years. Eventually, the creek will overtop and erode the dam. The same cycle of actions, landsliding, damming, and erosion will continue in the foreseeable future.
