利用实况资料和WRF模式预报场.对2006年4月9～11日西北地区一次大范围沙尘天气进行动力诊断及数值模拟分析.结果表明;此次过程属于蒙古冷槽型,地面强冷空气的爆发直接导致了沙尘天气的发生,沙尘发生在冷锋后及锋面过境时;高空急流的发展、移动对沙尘天气有预示作用;沙尘发生区次级环流在过程发展中有明显变化,下沉气流和上升气流并存;有利的散度场促进了上升及下沉运动的加强;涡度场的变化影响蒙古气旋,对沙尘天气的发生发展有指示意义;稳定的大气层结和近地层较大的垂直风切变是两个特征;WRF模式对此次沙尘天气有较好的模拟能力.     

1998年“4.18”强沙尘暴分析及数值模拟

对1998年4月18－19日发生在新疆、甘肃、宁夏、内蒙古等地的一次强沙尘暴天气过程从天气事实、天气学成因等方面进行了分析和诊断，然后利用非静力MM5模式对这次沙尘暴天气进行了数值模拟。结果表明，西西伯利亚强冷空气迅速东移，在新疆西部上空形成强锋区，对应的地面冷锋东移至前期增暖显著的新疆、内蒙古、甘肃、宁夏等地形成了本次大风、强沙尘暴天气。用非静力MM5模式较好地模拟出了此次强沙尘暴天气过程的地面强风系统、高空锋区的发生发展。     

走滑断层地震地表断裂位错估计方法研究

为对一次地震中可能造成的地表断裂位错作出较准确的估计,采用拟静力弹塑性有限元方法,分别对覆盖土层为粉质黏土和黏土情况下,走滑断层引发的地震地表断裂进行了数值模拟分析。根据历史震害数据回归拟合的震级M与基岩位错 的关系式以及数值计算结果,建立了震级M与地表位错 的关系式。公式中考虑了土层厚度H对地表位错 的影响,而不仅仅局限于根据震级M的大小通过统计公式来估算地表断裂位错 。结果表明,走滑断层引发的地震地表断裂位错不仅与震级的大小有关,还与土层厚度和土层性质有关;在相同震级作用下,随着土层厚度的增加,地表位错逐渐减小;在相同震级和相同土层厚度下,上覆土层为粉质黏土时产生的地表位错要大于上覆土层为黏土时产生的地表位错;根据拟合的公式估计出不同震级情况下可不考虑走滑断层影响的临界覆盖土层厚度值,有助于提高活动断裂地震危险性评估工作的可靠性。     

基于均匀混合假设的天然河道水质模拟方法

扩散质进入窄浅型河道后,通常采用有限差分法求解一维对流分散方程进行水质模拟,计算相对复杂。为简化计算,提出了根据河道断面特征等水力特性,将河道划分为若干单元,忽略不灵敏因子分散项对单元间扩散质交换的影响,并引入单元均匀混合假定,提出了基于均匀混合假设的天然河道水质模拟方法,建立相应的水质数学模型。算例表明,该模型运算稳定,与有限差分法模拟精度相当,但可大大简化并节省计算工作量。

State estimation of tidal hydrodynamics using ensemble Kalman filter

This paper presents a coupling of an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with a discontinuous Galerkin-based, two-dimensional circulation model (DG ADCIRC-2DDI) to improve the state estimation of tidal hydrodynamics including water surface elevations and depth-integrated velocities. The methodology in this paper using EnKF perturbs the modeled hydrodynamics and bottom friction parameterization in the model while assimilating data with inherent error, and demonstrates a capability to apply EnKF within DG ADCIRC-2DDI for data assimilation. Parallel code development presents a unique aspect of the approach taken and is briefly described in the paper, followed by an application to a real estuarine system, the lower St. Johns River in north Florida, for the state estimation of tidal hydrodynamics. To test the value of gauge observations for improving state estimation, a tide modeling case study is performed for the lower St. Johns River successively using one of the four available tide gauging stations in model-data comparison. The results are improved simulations of water surface elevations and depth-integrated velocities using DG ADCIRC-2DDI with EnKF, both locally where data are available and non-locally where data are not available. The methodology, in general, is extensible to other modeling and data applications, for example, the use of remote sensing data, and specifically, can be readily applied as is to study other tidal systems.     

运用STOMP数值模拟器进行多空介质中尿素水解以及方解石沉淀数值模拟

遍布于美国能源部所辖野外场地的地下放射性核素和痕量金属污染对美国能源部的长期监管职能提出了最严峻的挑战。目前较有前景的一个原地固化污染物方法是利用尿素酶催化尿素水解,进而推动方解石沉淀及与之共同沉淀。运用STOMP数值模拟器实施一系列反应性溶质数值模拟来研究系统中水流、运移、反应与反应导致的介质性质变化之间的紧密的非线性耦合,并在研究中系统性增加反应系统的复杂度和物理-化学的非均质性以考察模拟效果。通过调整反应速率表达式中尿素酶浓度和沉淀反应常数,对尿素水解和方解石沉淀速率进行了敏感度分析。结果显示:尿素水解速率是矿物沉淀总量的决定性因素,沉淀物的空间分布既取决于水解速率也取决于沉淀速率;在一维水流柱6个空隙体积的时间段模拟中,观察到了5%的最大空隙度减少;当二维模拟中考虑一个低渗透性包裹体时,被改变的流场重新对生成的沉淀组成物进行了分布,形成了扭曲的反应锋面。模拟结果也显示沉淀在低渗透性区域边界上形成,这说明位于这个区域里面的污染物可能被囊裹而从流线中被隔离起来。     

Are catch-up reefs an artefact of coring?

Drill cores through modern coral reefs commonly show a time lag in reef initiation followed by a phase of rapid accretion to sea level from submerged foundations – the so-called ‘catch-up response’. But because of the difficulty of drilling in these environments, core distribution is usually restricted to accessible areas that may not fully represent reef history, especially if the reef initiated in patches or developed with a prograde or retrograde geometry. As a consequence, core data have the potential to give a misleading impression of reef development, particularly with respect to the timing of initiation and response to sea-level rise. Here, we use computer models to simulate keep-up reef development and, from them, quantify variations in the timing of reef initiation and accretion rate using mock cores taken through the completed simulations. The results demonstrate that cores consistently underestimate the timing of reef initiation and overestimate the reef accretion rate so that, statistically, a core through a keep-up reef will most likely produce a catch-up pattern – an initiation lag followed by a phase of rapid accretion to sea level. This implies that catch-up signatures may be an artefact of coring and that keep-up reefs are significantly more common than previous core studies claim.     

Computer modeling and simulation of coalbed methane resources

Coal seam gas reservoirs are complex both geologically and in the mechanism of gas production. Understanding these naturally fractured reservoirs for two-phase (gas–water) flow conditions is often limited by a lack of data. This paper illustrates that reservoir simulation is a powerful tool which can be used to determine key data requirements, and how variability in reservoir properties and operating practices affect performance at the field level. The paper presents examples of how reservoir simulation can be used to assess the efficiency of well completions (fracturing or cavitation), identify candidate wells for remedial treatment, examine methane drainage in advance of mining, and assess the impact of errors in measured data on long-term gas production forecasts.     

江淮地区一次强飑线系统结构特征的数值模拟研究

利用NCEP/NCAR 1°×1°逐6 h再分析资料、WRF中尺度预报模式,对2014年7月30 31日发生在江淮地区的一次强飑线天气过程进行天气学分析和数值模拟研究。结果表明,飑线发生前大气低层水汽条件良好,中层阶梯槽引导高层干冷空气向下入侵后叠加在低层暖湿气流之上,使飑线发生区域不稳定能量累积,低空切变线促使不稳定能量释放,是此次飑线过程的主要触发机制。在分析飑线成熟阶段宏观特征及微物理特征的基础上,归纳总结了此次飑线在成熟阶段的内部结构模型。飑线系统处于成熟阶段时,在大气低层强回波核附近存在"冷池",这主要是降水粒子在下落过程中蒸发冷却形成的。降水粒子下落过程中拖曳周围空气形成下沉气流,下沉气流到达地面后形成的辐散气流是地面大风形成的关键。
