Mesh-free analysis applied in reinforced soil slopes

One of the most applicable geotechnical structures whose analysis is carried out through iterative procedures is the reinforced soil slope. In this regard, the most successful method for the reinforced slope analysis through numerical methods is the finite element method whose updating mesh may result in some difficulties. In this study, the Natural Element Method (NEM), which is a mesh-free method, in conjunction with conventional limit equilibrium is implemented to find the slip surface in the reinforced slopes. Results demonstrate the convergence and preciseness of the present method in comparison with the other numerical methods and conventional limit equilibrium method.     

Upper-Tropospheric Environment–Tropical Cyclone Interactions over the Western North Pacific: A Statistical Study

Based on 25-year(1987–2011) tropical cyclone(TC) best track data, a statistical study was carried out to investigate the basic features of upper-tropospheric TC–environment interactions over the western North Pacific. Interaction was defined as the absolute value of eddy momentum flux convergence(EFC) exceeding 10 m s~(-1)d~(-1). Based on this definition, it was found that 18% of all six-hourly TC samples experienced interaction. Extreme interaction cases showed that EFC can reach~120 m s~(-1)d~(-1) during the extratropical-cyclone(EC) stage, an order of magnitude larger than reported in previous studies.Composite analysis showed that positive interactions are characterized by a double-jet flow pattern, rather than the traditional trough pattern, because it is the jets that bring in large EFC from the upper-level environment to the TC center. The role of the outflow jet is also enhanced by relatively low inertial stability, as compared to the inflow jet. Among several environmental factors, it was found that extremely large EFC is usually accompanied by high inertial stability, low SST and strong vertical wind shear(VWS). Thus, the positive effect of EFC is cancelled by their negative effects. Only those samples during the EC stage, whose intensities were less dependent on VWS and the underlying SST, could survive in extremely large EFC environments, or even re-intensify. For classical TCs(not in the EC stage), it was found that environments with a moderate EFC value generally below ~25 m s~(-1)d~(-1) are more favorable for a TC's intensification than those with extremely large EFC.     

复杂地形城市多尺度气流对大气污染影响的研究进展

复杂地形城市一般建立在山地、丘陵、沿海地带。复杂地形下的大气污染传输、扩散机制是一个复杂的问题。本文依据城市地形地貌将复杂地形归类为河谷地形、三面环山临海地形、盆地地形、马蹄型地形和峡口地形。结合国内外对这五类地形下城市污染物传输扩散及污染形成机制的研究成果,介绍了不同地理位置、不同复杂地形城市多尺度气流相互或交替作用的特点及其对污染传输扩散的影响,期望能够为其它复杂地形城市污染形成机制研究和大气污染防治提供一些借鉴。     

多尺度细节增强的遥感影像超分辨率重建

鉴于现有超分辨率重建方法难以突显重建影像细节信息的问题,提出多尺度细节增强的遥感影像超分辨率重建模型框架。首先,通过最小二乘滤波方法将序列影像分解成包含大尺度边缘的平滑信息和包含中小型尺度的细节信息;其次,利用插值方法得到相应的高分辨率细节信息和平滑信息,构造纹理细节增强函数,提升中小型细节的增强幅度;最终,融合细节信息和平滑信息,得到初始的超分辨率重建结果,并利用局部优化模型进一步改善重建影像质量。选取同时相和多时相遥感影像作为试验数据。试验结果表明,本文重建结果与插值方法、TV方法和MAP方法相比,在客观评价指标上均有显著提高,明显改善了重建影像的纹理细节。论文提出的多尺度细节增强的超分辨率重建方法,可以使重建影像提供更多高频细节信息,具有较好鲁棒性和普适性。     

基于偏移四叉树投票的“大尺寸”点状符号多尺度无压盖可视化

为解决Web 2.0环境下点状符号地图混搭中的制图问题,本文研究并实现了一种可100%避免压盖的"大尺寸"点符号高效可视化方法。该方法的核心思想是四叉树网格单选,采用网格平移对多次单选结果投票来计算符号在各缩放级别的显著性等级,可解决符号在相邻网格的空间冲突。该过程不需要显式探测冲突,因而处理效率极高。随着地图放大,重要性较低的符号也逐级显现,实现了语义层次的多尺度表达。针对符号和网格大小比率关系、有效网格平移方案及图面利用率不足问题提出两种扩展:格网增选和多级符号叠加。对方法的可行性进行了试验验证,并分析了该方法在用户查询条件改变下的稳定性和不同数据量下的伸缩性(非优化实现可达到105量级数据的亚秒级处理)。

Approach to calculating spatial similarity degrees of the same river basin networks on multi-scale maps

Obtaining spatial similarity degrees among the same objects on multi-scale maps is of importance in map generalization. This paper firstly defines the concepts of ‘map scale change’ and ‘spatial similarity degree’; then it proposes a model for calculating the spatial similarity degree between a river basin network at one scale and its generalized version at another scale. After this, it validates the new model and gets 16 points in the model validation process. The x-coordinate and y-coordinate of each point are map scale change and spatial similarity degree, respectively. Last, a formula for calculating spatial similarity degree taking map scale change as the only variable is obtained by the curve fitting method. The formula along with the model can be used to automate the algorithms for simplifying river basin networks.     

尕斯库勒盐湖中CO_2-卤水-盐岩相互作用模拟研究

利用PHREEQC软件模拟CO2侵入后,尕斯库勒盐湖中CO2-卤水-岩盐之间的相互作用。CO2侵入卤水层后,卤水中元素的化学形态种类和大小发生变化,特别是碳酸盐型的络合物形态增多。CO2侵入后,除了碳酸盐、石盐和硫酸盐矿物达到饱和被析出外,其余矿物的不饱和程度加剧,卤水的TDS增大,pH值减小。卤水中U的含量在CO2侵入后发生沉淀而减小。研究成果对深入评估区域内盐水层CO2地质封存的环境风险和利用CO2分离提取盐湖卤水中的铀元素提供理论依据。     

Axial friction response of full-scale pipes in soft clays

The axial friction response of subsea pipelines in soft clays is a very important aspect for designers of subsea pipelines but the response is not well understood so far. There is a pressing need for the comprehension of the response. In this paper, model tests are performed using full-scale pipes coated with polyethylene (PE) to study the effects of the set-up period, the pipe diameter, the buried depth of the pipe, the shear strength of soft clays and the loading rate on the axial friction response of pipelines in soft clays. The variations of the axial friction coefficient are analyzed using the effective stress method based on model test results. The results show that the axial friction resistance increases with the increasing pipe diameter but the effect of the pipe diameter on the axial friction coefficient can be neglected. The ultimate axial resistance also increases with the increase of the buried depth of pipelines, the undrained shear strength of soft clays and the loading rate. The axial friction coefficient increases with the increasing loading rate. However, the axial friction coefficient decreases with the increasing buried depth. The method to determine the axial friction coefficient is developed by analyzing model test results, which considers the effects of the diameter, the buried depth, the undrained shear strength of soft clays and the loading rate. The study results not only extend the industry data base but also supply a basis to determine the axial friction coefficient of PE-coated pipes in soft clays for ocean engineering geological investigations.
