Modelling the effect of wave overtopping on nearshore hydrodynamics and morphodynamics around shore-parallel breakwaters

Wave overtopping nearshore coastal structures, such as shore-parallel breakwaters, can significantly alter the current circulation and sediment transport patterns around the structures, which in turn affects the formation of tombolos and salients in the nearshore area. This paper describes the implementation of a wave overtopping module into an existing depth-averaged coastal morphological mode: COAST2D and model applications to investigate the effect of wave overtopping on the hydrodynamics and morphodynamics around a group of shore-parallel breakwaters. The hydrodynamic aspects of the model were validated against a series of laboratory conditions. The model was then applied to a study site at Sea Palling, Norfolk, UK, where 9 shore-parallel segmented breakwaters including 4 surface-piercing and 5 low-crested breakwaters are present, for the storm conditions in Nov 2006. The model results were compared with laboratory data and field measurements, showing a good agreement on both hydrodynamics and morphological changes. Further analysis of wave overtopping effect on the nearshore hydrodynamics and morphodynamics reveals that wave overtopping has significant impacts on the nearshore circulation, sediment transport and the resulting morphological changes within such a complex breakwater scheme under the storm and macro-tide conditions. The results indicate the importance of including the wave overtopping in modelling nearshore morphodynamics with the presence of coastal structures.

基于自然资源价值理论的自然岸线价值核算——以辽宁省大连市为例

以自然资源价值理论为指导,构建以使用价值和生态价值为基础的自然岸线资源二元价值结构。结果表明：通过建立自然岸线资源物质量与价值量核算方法,得出大连市自然岸线资源物质总量为766.6 km,全市自然保有率为46.9%。到“十四五”末,大连市海岸线资源价值总量约1 792.88亿元,自然资源岸线价值组成中生态价值占主导地位,价值量占比为99.8%。该核算方法实现了自然岸线资源生态价值的内部化过程,解决了岸线资源的价值以使用价值为主、对生态价值的忽视或考虑不足、导致整体价值被低估的核心问题。过度的资源开发是造成自然岸线资源稀缺的原因,加之资源保护与开发的高质量发展模式,自然岸线资源价值将不断攀高。自然岸线资源价值也将成为沿海地区核心价值的重要组成部分。     

The effect of pore water pressure on tunnel face stability

The kinematic approach in combination with numerical simulation is used to examine the effect of pore water pressure on tunnel face stability. Pore water pressure distribution obtained by numerical calculations using FLAC^3D is used to interpolate the pore water pressure on a 3D rotational collapse mechanism. Comparisons are made to check the present approach against other solutions, showing that the present approach improves the existing upper bound solutions. Results obtained indicate that critical effective face pressure increases with water table elevation. Several normalized charts are also presented for quick evaluation of tunnel face stability. At the end of the paper, the influence of anisotropic permeability on tunnel face stability is also discussed, showing that the isotropic model leads to an overestimation of the necessary tunnel face pressure for anisotropic soils.

A FUMIGATION DIFFUSION MODEL DURING THE MOUNTAIN-VALLEY WIND SHIFT PERIOD

The fumigation during the mountain-valley wind shift has been first identified as a special type of pol-lutant diffusion using the monitoring measurements of Dukou,Southwest Sichuan,China.Such a pheno-menon occurs frequently all year around but summer,particularly in winter months.A new model for thefumigation during the mountain-valley wind shift period is developed that allows satisfactory explanation ofthe fact.Analyses indicate that the model can more accurately predict not only the high concentration ofPollutants but the time and locality of the occurrence as well.The ground concentration of SO_2 during fumigation is several times up to over a decade higher thanthe daily mean for the whole region,one of the main contamination processes that affect the air quality ofthe city.The medel analyses provide a basis for more effective prediction of the quality and precautionstudy against the disaster.

正多面体的结晶学分类及等大正二十面体共角顶连接的准晶结构模型

本文将正四面体、正八面体、正六面体归为结晶类,将正二十面体、正十二面体归为准晶类。大小相近的原子倾向于形成正二十面体配位;再将正二十面体看成球体,那末符合m35对称的理想堆垛方式是以等大正二十面体共角顶连接,形成大一级的正二十面体。继续按照这一规律连接将不断形成更大一级的正二十面体,从而获得理想准晶结构模型。此模型很好地解释了Al—Mn准晶体的高分辨结构图及Penrose拼图与准晶体的高分辨结构图的密切关系。
