A wind tunnel study of turbulent dispersion over two- and three-dimensional gentle hills from upwind point sources in neutral flow

A study of turbulent dispersion over hills for upstream, elevated sources was conducted, based on wind tunnel tracer gas (CO₂) experiments over a gentle 2-D ridge and a 3-D circular hill, both having a cosine-square cross-section. The concentration measurements were made with four different source locations for each hill case (2-D or 3-D), and the study focused on dispersion parameters under the influence of the presence of the hills in order to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved.The wind tunnel measurements show that, in the case of gentle hills, the topographic impact on turbulent dispersion from upstream sources is only moderate and is more pronounced for the 3-D than for the 2-D hill. The perturbation in mean flow introduced by the hills, including streamline divergence/convergence, is shown to dominate the changes in the dispersion due to the hills in this case. The plume spread, both in the lateral and the vertical, is enhanced over the upwind hill foot and reduced over the hill top in response to the mean flow slow-down and speed-up at these places, and is further enhanced or reduced due to streamline divergence/convergence in the vertical over the hills as well as in the horizontal over the 3-D hill. These results are also compared with cases of turbulent dispersion over more steep hills (Snyder and Britter, 1987).     

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope studies of metamorphic fluid-rock interactions in the Dabie Mountains

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope studies were carried out on mineral separates from high to ultrahigh pressure metamorphic rocks at Huangzhen and Shuanghe in the eastern Dabie Mountains, East China. The δ¹⁸O values of eclogites cover a wide range of −5‰ to+9‰, but the δD values of micas fall within a narrow range of −85% to −70‰. Both equilibrium and disequilibrium oxygen isotope fractionations were observed between quartz and the other minerals, with reversed fractionations between omphacite and garnet in some eclogite samples. The δ¹⁸ O values of −5‰ to −1‰ for some of the eclogites represent the oxygen isotope compositions of their protoliths which underwent meteoric water-rock interaction prior to plate subduction. The preservation of oxygen isotope heterogeneity in the eclogites implies a channelized flow of fluids during progressive metamorphism caused by rapid subduction. Retrograde metamorphism has caused oxygen and hydrogen isotope disequilibria between some of the minerals, but the fluid for retrograde reactions was internally buffered in the stable isotope compositions.

东北平原土壤碳库构成及其与土壤性质的关系

东北平原土壤碳库构成具有典型特征:土壤有机碳密度(SOCD)由西部盐碱化、沙化平原向东部低山丘陵增高的趋势,由南向北显示增高趋势,无机碳密度(SICD)具有由西部盐碱化、沙化平原向东部低山丘陵降低的趋势; 土壤碳库仍以有机碳为主,不同土壤类型中有机碳密度占总碳密度的56.14% ~94.03%,有机碳和无机碳所占比例差别较大; 有机碳与总氮呈明显的线性关系,无机碳与CaO呈较强相关性,二者与SiO2均呈较强的负相关性,表明土壤碳库受土壤组成及类型控制最为明显; 土壤质地、pH值及其他土壤性质对土壤碳库也具有较大影响,有机碳及无机碳含量与pH值关系的散点图表现为"马鞍型",但是形状存在微小差别,土壤无机碳含量受碱性条件控制更为明显。     

东风盐场卤水中可溶性糖的研究──Ⅰ、盐田卤水中可溶性糖的季节变化及其与海盐产量和质量之间的关系

对东风盐场9个站位卤水中由藻类植物产生的可溶性糖浓度的变化规律及其与海盐产量和质量之间的关系进行了研究。结果表明，各站位可溶性糖含量的变化范围为0．7－124．3mg／L，以6月份最高，2月份最低；卤水中可溶性糖在111mg／L－215mg／L范围内，结晶盐的产量随卤水中可溶性糖含量的增加而提高，但同时降低了NaCl的含量，并增加了可溶性杂质及水分的含量，从而降低了盐质。初始可溶性糖浓度为111mg／L、137mg／L、160mg／L、193mg／L和215mg／L的25．4°Be’的卤水，在日照下实验12天，其对应结晶盐的NaCl含量分别为91．66％、90．63％、90．48％、90．23％和88．46％，可溶性杂质的含量分别为3．05％、3．32％、3．33％和4．54％。

本文研究了东风盐场不同盐度的卤水中可溶性糖的变化及其与微藻优势种的组成和细胞数量之间的关系，卤虫对可溶性糖的调节作用及嗜盐菌对可溶性糖的消耗。结果表明，可溶性糖在低卤区和硅藻、甲藻等微藻密切相关，在中、高卤区与蓝藻和盐藻等密切相关，卤水中的卤虫能通过滤食微藻而有效地控制卤水中可溶性糖的浓度，在结晶卤水中接种嗜盐菌能有效地降解卤水中的可溶性糖，从而达到提高盐质的目的。

铜街子电站水库诱发地震的判定及最大可能诱发地震震级的估计

对于水库围堰后猛然增加的地震活动，人们普遍关心两个问题，第一是这些地震的成因，第二是这些地震能对大坝安全性带来多大的影响。位于四川省乐山地区的铜街子电站在蓄水后地震活动骤然增高。本文通过对地震活动的分布范围、震源深度、震源机制解以及地震活动与库水水位变化之间的关系判定这些地震系铜街子电站蓄水后所诱发的地震。为了估计该水库所诱发地震的震级上限，本文通过定性预测方法和定量预测方法试图对诱震震级上限给出一个估计，但各手段所给出的结果却不完全一致，这说明目前的预测手段的不完善。在对各手段给出的结果进行综合分析之后，认为铜街子电站最大可能诱发地震震级上限在５．０级左右。当然，也可能以较小震级的震群型形式出现。
