Experimental investigation of runoff reduction and sediment removal by vegetated filter strips

The impact of vegetated filter strips (VFS) on sediment removal from runoff has been studied extensively in recent years. Vegetation is believed to increase water infiltration and decrease water turbulence thus enhancing sediment deposition within filter media. In the study reported here, field experiments have been conducted to examine the efficiency of vegetated filter strips for sediment removal from cropland runoff. Twenty filters with varying length, slope and vegetated cover were used under simulated runoff conditions with an average sediment concentration of 2700 mg/L. The filters were 2, 5, 10 and 15 m long with a slope of 2·3 and 5% and three types of vegetation. Three other strips with bare soil were used as a control. The experimental results showed that the average sediment trapping efficiency of all filters was 84% and ranging from 68% in a 2‐m filter to as high as 98% in a 15‐m long filter compared with only 25% for the control. The length of filter has been found to be the predominant factor affecting sediment deposition in VFS up to 10 m. Increasing filter length to 15 m did not improve sediment trapping efficiency under the present experimental conditions. The rate of incoming flow and vegetation cover percentage has a secondary effect on sediment deposition in VFS. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

GNSS/INS integration: still an attractive candidate for automatic landing systems?

During the last years, the International Symposia on Precision Approach and Automatic Landing (ISPA) have shown a considerable change in the significance of integrated landing systems. At the first ISPA conference in 1995, the combination of inertial sensors and GNSS receivers was thoroughly discussed and appeared to be a very promising concept, especially with respect to ‘Integrity’ and ‘Continuity’. Ever since, this particular combination of sensors has received little attention. A comprehensive discussion of the technical background of this setback for integrated landing systems did not take place, primarily because of the popular opinion that the Kalman filter algorithm, which is the system integration kernel, is not sufficiently stable. The true reason has meanwhile been identified. The aiding of an inertial navigation system by only one GNSS antenna is insufficient in phases of low aircraft dynamics such as in the case of final approach. Instead, a multi-antenna system is required with antennas widely distributed over the aircraft structure. This latter approach, however, causes problems due to structural flexibilities. To show that an integrated system based on inertial sensors and widely distributed GNSS antennas is technically feasible, the paper discusses the following topics. (1) Unstable system performance during final approach for 1-antenna-aiding. (2) Improving the system performance prior to using additional antennas. (3) Effect of the antenna distribution. (4) Integrated systems for distributed sensors and flexible aircraft structures. The paper shows that integrated systems are still an attractive candidate for automatic landing equipment preserving the advantages with respect to ‘Integrity’ and ‘Continuity’.     

Wavelet filter analysis of local atmospheric pressure effects on gravity variations

An efficient method is proposed for the analysis of atmospheric pressure effects on gravity variations. It processes gravity and pressure signals using an orthogonal filter bank derived from high-degree Daubechies wavelets. The method introduces the atmospheric pressure admittance, which is both time- and frequency-dependent, and thus provides more information about when and how the frequency components in the pressure signal influence gravity variations. We demonstrate the efficiency of the wavelet method by applying it to observations from the Wuhan (China) superconducting gravimeter station. The analysis of gravity and pressure signals in 14 sub-bands with different bandwidths covering a frequency range from 0.176 to 720 cpd (cycles per day) reveals that local atmospheric pressure fluctuations start to induce obvious effects on gravity variations in the seismic band 0.52–1.04 mHz (periods 16 to 32 min) and highly correlate with gravity variation in the long-period seismic mode band 0.26–0.52 mHz (periods 32–64 min). The harmonics of solar-heating-induced atmospheric tides play a leading role in interfering with the variation of gravity residuals in the frequency band 0.704–11.25 cpd (periods 128 min to 1.42 day). Local atmospheric pressure effects on gravity variation are very strong in the frequency band 0.176–0.704 cpd (periods 1.42–5.69 day). Accurately filtering quarter-diurnal tides into a narrow band further demonstrates the efficiency of the wavelet method. After removing secular gravity changes and long-period atmospheric pressure variations, we show that there are obvious variations of local pressure admittance on time scales of hours to days. We also reveal seasonal variability of pressure admittances in the band 0.176–0.352 cpd (periods 2.84–5.69 day) after removing the effects of solar-heating atmospheric tides.

Optimum design of structures against earthquake by wavelet neural network and filter banks

Optimum design of structures for earthquake is achieved by simulated annealing. To reduce the computational work, a fast wavelet transform is used by means of which the number of points in the earthquake record is decreased. The record is decomposed into two parts. One part contains the low frequency of the record, and the other contains the high frequency of the record. The low‐frequency content is the effective part, since most of the energy of the record is contained in this part of the record. Thus, the low‐frequency part of the record is used for dynamic analysis. Then, using a wavelet neural network, the dynamic responses of the structures are approximated. By such approximation, the dynamic analysis of the structure becomes unnecessary in the process of optimization. The wavelet neural networks have been employed as a general approximation tool for the time history dynamic analysis. A number of structures are designed for optimal weight and the results are compared to those corresponding to the exact dynamic analysis. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
