—We present here the analytical solution of a one-dimensional dam-break problem over inclined planes. This solution is used to test a numerical model developed for debris avalanches. We consider a dam with infinite length in one direction where material is released from rest at the initial instant. We solve analytically and numerically the depth-averaged long-wave equations derived in a topography-linked coordinate system. The numerical and analytical solutions provide for a Coulomb-type friction law at the base of the flow. The analytical solution is obtained by using the method of characteristics and describes the flow over a constant slope, provided that the angle is higher than the friction angle. The numerical model utilizes a finite-difference method based on a Godunov-type scheme. Comparison between analytical and numerical results illustrates the remarkable stability and precision of the numerical method as well as its ability to deal with strong discontinuities. 相似文献
Zircon, monazite and xenotime crystallized over a temperature interval of several hundred degrees at the magmatic to hydrothermal transition of the Sn and W mineralized Mole Granite. Magmatic zircon and monazite, thought to have crystallized from hydrous silicate melt, were dated by conventional U–Pb techniques at an age of 247.6 ± 0.4 and 247.7 ± 0.5 Ma, respectively. Xenotime occurring in hydrothermal quartz is found to be significantly younger at 246.2 ± 0.5 Ma and is interpreted to represent hydrothermal growth. From associated fluid inclusions it is concluded that it precipitated from a hydrothermal brine ≤ 600 °C, which is below the accepted closure temperature for U–Pb in this mineral. These data are compatible with a two-stage crystallization process: precipitation of zircon and monazite as magmatic liquidus phases in deep crustal magma followed by complete crystallization and intimately associated Sn–W mineralization after intrusion of the shallow, sill-like body of the Mole Granite. Later hydrothermal formation of monazite in a biotite–fluorite–topaz reaction rim around a mineralized vein was dated at 244.4 ± 1.4 Ma, which distinctly postdates the Mole Granite and is possibly related to a younger hidden intrusion and its hydrothermal fluid system.
Obtaining precise age data for magmatic and hydrothermal minerals of the Mole Granite is hampered by uncertainties introduced by different corrections required for multiple highly radiogenic minerals crystallising from evolved hydrous granites, including 230Th disequilibrium due to Th/U fractionation during monazite and possibly xenotime crystallization, variable Th/U ratios of the fluids from which xenotime was precipitating, elevated contents of common lead, and post-crystallization lead loss in zircon, enhanced by the fluid-saturated environment. The data imply that monazite can also survive as a liquidus phase in protracted magmatic systems over periods of 106 years. The outlined model is in agreement with prominent chemical core-rim variation of the zircon. 相似文献
A single crystal of natrolite, Na2Al2Si3O10·2H2O, was studied by X-ray diffraction methods at room temperature. The intensities were measured with MoKα radiation (λ = 0.7107 Å) in a complete sphere of reflection up to sin θ/λ = 0.903 Å?1. The structure was refined in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with a = 18.2929 (7) Å, b = 18.6407(9) Å, c = 6.5871(6) Å, V = 2246 Å3, Z = 8. A refinement of high-order diffraction data yielded reliability factors of R(F) = 0.9%, Rw(F) = 0.8%, GoF = 1.40 for 1856 high-angle reflections (0.7 ?in θ/λ <0.903 Å?1) and R(F) = 1.0%, RW(F) = 1.2%, GoF = 3.07 for all 3471 independent reflections in the complete sphere of reflection. The T-O distances as well as the T-O-T angles were found to be strongly influenced by the different bond strengths received by the individual oxygen atoms. The T O distances calculated using Baur's extended valence rule agree on average within 0.003 Å with the observed values. An analysis of the mean square displacement amplitudes allowed a separation of the external and internal vibrational amplitudes along the T-O bonds as well as along the Na O and H2O-O bond directions and the calculation of force constants. The internal vibrational amplitudes (ΔU) of the T-O vibrations are in the range of 5 to 11 × 10-4 Å2, that is about one order of magnitude smaller than the mean square displacement amplitudes of the external vibrations. The corresponding force constants are F = 354 to 824 Nm?1. The values of the force constants of the motion of the Na-ion and the water molecule against the framework oxygen atoms lie in the range between F = 57 and 293 Nm?1. This is the first instance where displacement amplitudes from a zeolite structure refinement could be apportioned between contributions from internal and external vibrations for individual bonds. 相似文献
This study aims at sharpening the existing knowledge of expected seasonal mean climate change and its uncertainty over Europe for the two key climate variables air temperature and precipitation amount until the mid-twentyfirst century. For this purpose, we assess and compensate the global climate model (GCM) sampling bias of the ENSEMBLES regional climate model (RCM) projections by combining them with the full set of the CMIP3 GCM ensemble. We first apply a cross-validation in order to assess the skill of different statistical data reconstruction methods in reproducing ensemble mean and standard deviation. We then select the most appropriate reconstruction method in order to fill the missing values of the ENSEMBLES simulation matrix and further extend the matrix by all available CMIP3 GCM simulations forced by the A1B emission scenario. Cross-validation identifies a randomized scaling approach as superior in reconstructing the ensemble spread. Errors in ensemble mean and standard deviation are mostly less than 0.1 K and 1.0 % for air temperature and precipitation amount, respectively. Reconstruction of the missing values reveals that expected seasonal mean climate change of the ENSEMBLES RCM projections is not significantly biased and that the associated uncertainty is not underestimated due to sampling of only a few driving GCMs. In contrast, the spread of the extended simulation matrix is partly significantly lower, sharpening our knowledge about future climate change over Europe by reducing uncertainty in some regions. Furthermore, this study gives substantial weight to recent climate change impact studies based on the ENSEMBLES projections, since it confirms the robustness of the climate forcing of these studies concerning GCM sampling. 相似文献
In January 1982, sediment microbial N transformations and inorganic N fluxes across the sediment/water interface were studied at nine sites off the South Island West Coast, New Zealand. The sediments showed a great variety in physical, chemical and biological properties. The sediment organic matter had a molar ratio of 5.9–10.9, and the total ratio was 1.2–4.0. The denitrification capacity in the top 7.5 cm of sediment was 0.1–77.2 mmol N m?2 day?1 and generally declined with increasing sediment depth. The in situ denitrification rate was 0.02–1.84 mmol N m?2 day?1 and highest activities were generally found in surface sediments and at 6–7.5 cm depth. Denitrification accounted for 82–100% of total nitrate reduction. Net N mineralization was indirectly estimated at 0.6–2.4 mmol N m?2 day?1, and the experimental determination of this N transformation gave 0.6–3.2 mmol N m?2 day?1. Denitrification accounted for 3–75% of net N mineralization. The diffusive flux of ammonium and nitrate across the sediment/water interface was 0.1–0.7 and 0.1–0.6 mmol N m?2 day?1, respectively. 相似文献
The problem has basically three aspects: A mathematical, a physical and thirdly, an epistemological one. Even though the state of a dynamical system as a function of time may be perfectly and unambiguously determined in principle, do we at this time have the means to find out what this state is? 相似文献
