An Approach for Modeling Rock Discontinuous Mechanical Behavior Under Multiphase Fluid Flow Conditions

In this paper, the two computer codes TOUGH2 and RDCA (for “rock discontinuous cellular automaton”) are integrated for coupled hydromechanical analysis of multiphase fluid flow and discontinuous mechanical behavior in heterogeneous rock. TOUGH2 is a well-established code for geohydrological analysis involving multiphase, multicomponent fluid flow and heat transport; RDCA is a numerical model developed for simulating the nonlinear and discontinuous geomechanical behavior of rock. The RDCA incorporates the discontinuity of a fracture independently of the mesh, such that the fracture can be arbitrarily located within an element, while the fluid pressure calculated by TOUGH2 can be conveniently applied to fracture surfaces. We verify and demonstrate the coupled TOUGH–RDCA simulator by modeling a number of simulation examples related to coupled multiphase flow and geomechanical processes associated with the deep geological storage of carbon dioxide—including modeling of ground surface uplift, stress-dependent permeability, and the coupled multiphase flow and geomechanical behavior of fractures intersecting the caprock.     

Coupling typhoon rainfall forecasting with overland-flow modeling for early warning of inundation

Taiwan suffers from an average of three or four typhoons annually, and the inundation caused by the heavy precipitation that is associated with typhoons frequently occurs in lowlands and floodplains. Potential inundation maps have been widely used as references to set up non-structural strategies for mitigating flood hazards. However, spatiotemporal rainfall distributions must be addressed to improve the accuracy of inundation forecasting for emergency response operations. This study presents a system for 24-h-ahead early warning of inundation, by coupling the forecasting of typhoon rainfall with the modeling of overland flow. A typhoon rainfall climatology model (TRCM) is introduced to forecast dynamically the spatiotemporal rainfall distribution based on typhoon tracks. The systematic scheme for early warning of inundation based on the spatiotemporal downscaling of rainfall and 2D overland-flow modeling yields not only the extent of inundation, but also the time to maximum inundation depth. The scheme is superior to traditional early warning method referring to the maximum extent and depth of inundation determined from conditional uniform rainfall. Analytical results show that coupling TRCM with an overland-flow model yields satisfactory inundation hydrographs for warning of the extent and peak time of inundation. This study also shows that the accuracy of forecasting spatiotemporal rainfall patterns determines the performance of inundation forecasting, which is critical to emergency response operations.     

阴山及邻区三叠纪富碱侵入岩的成因意义

富碱侵入岩主要包括碱性岩和碱性花岗岩以及碱长花岗岩,其全碱含量(K2O+Na2O)一般8%。碱性岩主要包括正长岩、霞石正长岩、辉石正长岩、霓霞正长岩、闪石正长岩等,在岩石化学上相对贫硅富铝高碱。碱性花岗岩是指含碱性角闪石、碱性辉石的花岗岩,相对富硅贫铝高碱。在各类侵入岩中,富碱侵入岩所占比例很小,其出露面积约占各类侵入岩出露总面积的2%。但是,富碱侵入岩却有重要的矿产和地质意义。富碱侵入岩的研究不仅对于揭示岩石圈地幔的组成特征、壳幔相互作用及其地球动力学背景具有重要的意义,而且,能为有关岩石圈演化、找矿勘查和资源评价工作提供科学依据。根据对现有资料的总结,燕辽-阴山地区目前已发现很多三叠纪的富碱侵入岩体,它们西起内蒙古包头市,东到吉林省的中部,向东一直延伸到朝鲜的北部,大体分布于北纬40°~42°之间(宽度约100km),构成一条近EW向、长达1500km的碱性岩带。阴山及邻区的三叠纪富碱侵入岩分布在包头、凉城、四子王旗、察哈尔右后旗和察哈尔右中旗地区,东边与之相邻的碱性侵入岩主要分布在天镇、阳原和矾山,它们形成于268~190Ma,其中凉城和包头富碱侵入岩的形成年龄较小(197~190Ma)。这些杂岩体的岩石学和地球化学组成变化较大,其SiO2含量变化可从35%到70%。相比之下,四子王旗和察哈尔地区的正长岩具有较高的SiO2和Al2O3含量,较低的TiO2、Fe2O3和MgO,这可能反映了它们是地幔源区物质较高程度部分熔融的产物,而且经历了相对较大程度的辉石、橄榄岩和角闪石的分离结晶作用。绝大多数正长岩具有很低的MgO含量,落在了板片熔融实验(1~4GPa)所产生的熔体范围之内,部分样品具有相对较高的MgO含量和Mg#,落在了来源于大洋板片熔融所产生的埃达克岩范围内,说明这些岩石的形成可能与再循环的俯冲板片熔融有关。这些侵入岩普遍富集轻稀土元素和大离子亲石元素(如Ba,K和Sr)富集、亏损高场强元素(Nb、Ta、Ti)、Th、U和P,其εNd(t)和(87Sr/86Sr)i值的变化范围分别为-17~-3和0.7054~0.7092。多数数据点落在了大洋沉积物的范围内,显示出II型富集地幔参与的特征,即这些正长岩的原始岩浆主要来源于富集的岩石圈地幔。四子王旗正长岩具有最低的εNd(t)值(-17),表明下地壳物质的贡献较大,这与其钾长石的Pb同位素组成特征相一致。现有的Pb同位素数据也表明在研究区富碱侵入岩的岩浆形成过程中有大洋物质的参与。从εNd(t)值与侵入岩形成年龄的相关性变化可以看出,随着形成年龄的减小,下地壳物质的贡献在增加。总之,上述特征表明它们主要来源于富集的岩石圈地幔,并有不同程度的下地壳物质的参与。该富集地幔的形成与古亚洲洋的俯冲作用有关。由于富碱侵入岩通常形成于拉张的构造背景下,因此研究区富碱侵入岩的形成标志着古亚洲洋的闭合以及华北-蒙古陆块碰撞的结束。这些俯冲和碰撞事件造成了华北北缘岩石圈地幔组成和性质的明显改变。该区富碱侵入岩的岩浆活动时空分布规律及其动力学背景尚需精确的年代学和详细的地球化学研究来进一步制约。

新疆喀拉通克铜镍矿田成矿条件、岩浆通道与成矿潜力分析

位于中亚造山带北缘的喀拉通克早二叠世铜镍硫化物矿区是新疆规模最大的铜镍矿山,包含13个岩体,相当部分为隐伏岩体,其中1号、2号、3号、9号矿床为主力矿床,经过30余年持续开发,最大开采深度已达740 m,已面临后备资源不足的危机。已知矿体主要产于辉长岩、苏长岩、辉长苏长岩以及橄榄苏长岩中,甚至角闪辉长岩局部也含矿,未见超镁铁岩产出,具有显著的磁性(200 nT)、重力(0.29×10~(-5)m/s~2)、激化率异常,以镁铁岩含矿、岩体规模小且成群成带、分异演化程度高、富铜(Cu/Ni约3:2)、PGE较高、块状硫化物贯入矿体普遍发育为特色。其围岩为含炭质板岩、片岩和凝灰岩,变形强烈,常规电法受到炭质层的干扰。依据岩石学、地球化学研究,岩浆源于软流圈地幔,基于与东天山同期铜镍矿床含矿岩相及其比例和剩余重力异常的比较,推断其应发育有相当比例的超镁铁岩,因而深部出现超基性岩的可能性很高,且含矿性应更好。这一推断得到坑道钻探的证实,2013年矿区在Y2岩体东段650~740 m深度和Y2岩体西段400~500 m深度发现隐伏超镁铁岩且含矿,局部见贯入块状矿体。橄榄辉石岩、辉石橄榄岩系矿区首次发现,粒度很细,发育强烈的蛇纹石化、纤闪石化,推测只是隐伏超基性岩的头部。结合控岩控矿构造的追溯及南、北岩带的侧伏和倾伏方向判断,硫化物珠滴构造的发现与系统观测统计,围岩烘烤边和角岩化的研究分析,提出南岩带主岩浆通道位于Y2与Y3岩体之间,而不是原普遍认为的岩浆通道位于Y1与Y2岩体之间。结合矿区的现状,提出采用高分辨率浅层地震、CSAMT和瞬变电磁地-井测量,结合传统的高精度重力勘探、磁法勘探和激发极化法来勘探和预测南岩带深部隐伏含矿超镁铁岩的空间位置和产状,圈定岩浆通道和隐伏铜镍矿体,进而推动北岩带和外围G21、22号岩体的深部探矿工作。
