多核CPU的海量点云并行kNN算法

提出基于多核CPU的海量点云k最近邻(kNN)快速搜索算法。该算法先将点云数据按格网方式进行组织存储于外存;在搜索kNN点时,从搜索点所在的块向外扩张搜索;在多核CPU环境下采用多线程模式进行数据的内外存调度和kNN点搜索。当内存达到设定上限时,采用距离搜索点最远策略释放内存,降低内外存数据交换的频率。将该方法应用于基于kNN的滤波和格网化方法中,处理速度显著提高。     

The effect of intensity of turbulence in umbrella cloud on tephra dispersion during explosive volcanic eruptions: Experimental and numerical approaches

During an explosive volcanic eruption, tephra fall out from the umbrella region of the eruption cloud to the ground surface. We investigated the effect of the intensity of turbulence in the umbrella cloud on dispersion and sedimentation of tephra by performing a series of laboratory experiments and three dimensional (3-D) numerical simulations. In the laboratory experiments, spherical glass-bead particles are mixed in stirred water with various intensities of turbulence, and the spatial distribution and the temporal evolution of the particle concentration are measured. The experimental results show that, when the root-mean-square of velocity fluctuation in the fluid (W_rms) is much greater than the particle terminal velocity (v_t), the particles are homogeneously distributed in the fluid, and settle at their terminal velocities at the base of the fluid where turbulence diminishes. On the other hand, when W_rms is as small as or smaller than v_t, the particle concentration increases toward the base of the fluid during settling, which substantially increases the rate of particle settling. The results of the 3-D simulations of eruption cloud indicate that W_rms is up to 40 m/s in most of the umbrella cloud even during a large scale plinian eruption with a magma discharge rate of 10⁹ kg/s. These results suggest that relatively coarse pyroclasts (more than a few mm in diameter) tend to concentrate around the base of the umbrella cloud, whereas fine pyroclasts (less than 1/8 mm in diameter) may be distributed homogeneously throughout the umbrella cloud during tephra dispersion. The effect of the gradient of particle concentration in the umbrella cloud explains the granulometric data of the Pinatubo 1991 plinian deposits.     

1997/1998年厄尔尼诺期间西太平洋热带对流区的东移

1997年5月至1998年春季,发生了本世纪以来最强的厄尔尼诺事件.全球许多地区的天气气候出现了显着的异常特征,并诱发了一系列的旱、涝及森林大火等重大灾害,引起了许多国家政府和社会各界的高度关注.厄尔尼诺事件的成因和影响是一个十分复杂的问题,尽管自1950年以来已先后出现过10多次,气象和海洋学家对此也作了大量研究,但迄今对它的认识依然相当有限.对它的成因,近些年来许多研究认为[1,2]:赤道东太平洋的强偏东信风,将洋面表层暖水吹向西太平洋赤道地区堆积形成暖池;由于某种原因,一旦偏东信风张驰(减弱),导致暖池中位能释放,暖水向东回流,赤道东太平洋洋面温度(SST)异常升高,厄尔尼诺发生.

Linking frequency of rainstorms,runoff generation and sediment transport across hyperarid talus-pediment slopes

Documenting hillslope response to hydroclimatic forcing is crucial to our understanding of landscape evolution. The evolution of talus-pediment sequences (talus flatirons) in arid areas was often linked to climatic cycles, although the physical processes that may account for such a link remain obscure. Our approach is to integrate field measurements, remote sensing of rainfall and modeling to link between storm frequency, runoff, erosion and sediment transport. We present a quantitative hydrometeorological analysis of rainstorms, their geomorphic impact and their potential role in the evolution of hyperarid talus-pediment slopes in the Negev desert, Israel. Rainstorm properties were defined based on intensity–duration–frequency curves and using a rainfall simulator, artificial rainstorms were executed in the field. Then, the obtained measured experimental results were up-scaled to the entire slope length using a fully distributed hydrological model. In addition, natural storms and their hydro-geomorphic impacts were monitored using X-band radar and time-lapse cameras. These integrated analyses constrain the rainfall threshold for local runoff generation at rain intensity of 14 to 22 mm h^-1 for a duration of five minutes and provide a high-resolution characterization of small-scale runoff-generating rain cells. The current frequency of such runoff-producing rainstorms is ~1–3 per year. However, extending this local value into the full extent of hillslope runoff indicates that it occurs only under rainstorms with ≥ 100-years return interval, or 1% annual exceedance probability. Sheetwash efficiency rises with downslope distance; beyond a threshold distance of ~100 m, runoff during rainstorms with such annual exceedance probability are capable of transporting surface clasts. The erosion efficiency of these discrete rare events highlights their potential importance in shaping the landscape of arid regions. Our results support the hypothesis that a shift in the properties and frequency of extreme events can trigger significant geomorphic transitions in areas that remained hyperarid during the entire Quaternary. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Laboratory experiments evaluating sedimentation and mound formation of obliquely discharged sand particles in stagnant water

Many parameters are involved in the deposition of a known mass of sand particles discharge from oblique pipes used in a range of engineering applications. Existing knowledge is not sufficient to accurately predict sediment mound dimensions and development from vertical and horizontal pipes. To better understand deposition patterns, laboratory experiments were done to investigate the development of subaqueous sand deposits from oblique pipes in stagnant water. Factors including nozzle diameter, release angle, release height, and sand mass were evaluated. It was found that nozzle size plays the most important role in shape formation and mound development. Release angle and release height were secondarily important. Five different shape patterns were observed and denoted as circular, ellipse, circular-ring, ellipse-ring, and pear-shaped. The scour hole diameter in the middle of the sediment mound was predicted using engineering assumptions and available semi-empirical correlations from the literature. It was found that the existing formulations can accurately predict the size of the scour hole for large release angles (θ = 60°). An aspect ratio of L/d_o was defined to combine the effect of nozzle size, d_o, and sand mass where L is the equivalent length of sand particles in a pipe. It was found that the mass balance equation can predict the deposition for L/d_o < 100. For higher aspect ratios, semi-empirical formulations were developed to predict the deposition length, width, height, and area with ±10% error.

Morse理论支持下的建筑物点云特征提取

针对传统特征提取算法的结果存在交叉紊乱、不连续、缺少拓扑关系等问题,本文提出了基于Morse理论的建筑物点云特征提取算法。首先定义三维表面模型上顶点的Morse函数指标;然后采用邻点比较法自动提取特征点;最后针对Morse-Smale复形的对偶性在建筑物拓扑特征中已无实际意义的问题,提出了单复形拓扑模型的提取与简化算法。试验结果表明,该算法能够获得清晰、连续、完整的建筑物特征线,实现对建筑物模型表面的完全分割;简化算法在保证建筑物特征线拓扑一致性的前提下,可以获取不同层次的建筑物拓扑特征,为建筑物模型的重建与可视化提供了保障。
