A 2D finite volume model for bebris flow and its application to events occurred in the Eastern Pyrenees

FLATModel is a 2D finite volume code that contains several original approaches to improve debris-flow simulation. Firstly, FLATModel incorporates a ＂stop-and-go＂ technique in each cell to allow continuous collapses and remobilizations of the debris-flow mass. Secondly, flow velocity and consequently yield stress is directly associated with the type of rheology to improve boundary accuracy. Thirdly, a simple approach for entrainment is also included in the model to analyse the effect of basal erosion of debris flows. FLATMODEL was tested at several events that occurred in the Eastern Pyrenees and simulation results indicated that the model can represent rather well the different characteristics observed in the field.     

ON LOPINITE,A NEW TYPE OF COAL IN CHINA

To the east of Nanchang,the capital of Kiangsi Province,there cropsout a continuous belt of Permian coal series~1 trending approximately in thedirection from N.E.to S.W.Broadly speaking,this coal belt forms a synclinal

It had long been my wish for an opportunity to collect more MiddleDevonian plants in the Tiaomachien series in central Hunan.InDecember 1936,I was able to realize my plans.I was fortunate enough     

AN UPPER PLIOCENE FLORULE FROM THE SANMENIAN SERIES OF SHANSI PROVINCE

The recent discovery of fossil plants in association with fresh-watermollusca,at the type locality of the Sanmenian series at Sanmen Rapids,addsa brief though important chapter to our gradually increasing knowledge of the     

NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY OF GREAT KHINGAN

In August 1933,I made geological investigations in the vicinity ofBarim station of Chinese Eastern Railway.This area was explored byDr.E.Ahnert in 1901~1,but my explorations were more in detail; I madegeological survey in the scale 1:10,000.All petrological determinations were     

On Tectonic History in Regions East of the Tibetan Plateau from Kansu to Yunnan

正 With 2 Plates During the recent five years I have joined several field parties in the carrying out of geological reconnaissances in regions between the valley of the Huangho and of the Yangtze and in the Sino-Tibetan borderland. This vast territory can be divided into six major geological units, e     

OBITUARY NOTE ON MR.S.W.WANG

The untimely death of Mr.S.W.Wang on Feb.10th 1936 iscertainly a serious loss to the Chinese geology.Although his name is notso well known as others in the geological circle,Mr.Wang has indeedmade remarkable contribution to the study of Chinese crystals and     

Palaeogeology of the Country around Hsiatsuchang before the Chihsia Transgression

正 The area extending from the Suiyang~2 city in the north to Tuanchi~3 in the south was surveyed by the writers in 1943. Apart from 2 few scattered outcrops of Cenozoic and recent deposits, the major stratigraphical units represented in this area are the Cambrian, the Ordovician, the Silurian, the Permian, and the Triassic systems. Gaps of some importance were observed between the     

现代大地构造理论中的某些重要问题

现状和问题现代大地构造中的问题与过去一样还没有完满地解决.其原因是缺乏能满足重大科学要求的统一的理论,因而对一直存在的大大小小的问题采用了各种不同的解决方式.在这种情况下自然更难以找到一个重要的基础或基点作为研究的起点,以致密观上使人们无所适从,并对大地构造学作了显然是虚无主义的评价.最近二十年,地质科学引入了大量精确的地球物理学概念,成功地解释了现代大洋的一系列特征,还引入了新全球构造说或岩石圈板块说.最初,似乎终于找到了解决所有构造学难题的灵丹妙药.全球构造是以行星演变的动力学和物质统一性为基础,对构造作用和现象     

新疆叶尔羌河“溃坝型”洪水初步研究

“溃坝型”洪水其实是冰雪融水型洪水的一种特殊表现。在以冰雪补给的高山河流常有发生,其特性有别于暴雨洪水,它的危害极大并难以预测。本文以三年的实地考察资料,对“溃坝型”洪水的特征、成洪原因、发生机制进行了分析,还对今后叶尔羌河发生“溃坝型”洪水的规模提出自己的看法。
