Real-time prediction of the peak suspended sediment concentration and sediment yield of the Lao-Nung River during storms

Based on rainfall erosion of soil and suspended sediment transport in storm events, a method is proposed to predict peak suspended sediment concentration and suspended sediment yield in watersheds based on rainfall characteristics prior to peak rainfall intensity. The rainfall characteristics factors that dominate peak suspended sediment concentration C_p are rainfall erosion factor R_ef, first peak rainfall intensity of area-average rainfall i_p1 and antecedent precipitation index I_ap; the rainfall characteristics factors that dominate suspended sediment yield Y_ss in storm events are total rainfall P, suspended sediment yield factor R_sf and antecedent precipitation index I_ap. This research focuses on watersheds in Liau-Kwei observation station along Lao-Nung River in southern Taiwan as the research object, and adopts the PSED-model to simulate the discharge hydrograph, suspended sediment concentration hydrograph and suspended sediment yield in 11 storm events for analysis. The analytical results show that there is a good correlation between the above-mentioned rainfall characteristics factors and C_p as well as Y_ss, thus enabling C_p and Y_ss to be predicted by using Expressions (13) and (14). These two expressions are utilized to predict C_p and Y_ss of Typhoon Morakot in 2009, and the results are compared with those from simulation by using the PSED-model. The result of comparison shows there is a good capability in predicting. For the watersheds where it is necessary to predict C_p and Y_ss of a storm event for the benefit of effective operation of water resource facilities, the aforesaid rainfall characteristics factors can be utilized to establish applicable models for prediction.     

Relationship between bed shear stress and suspended sediment concentration:annular flume experiments

In this study,annular flume experiments were carried out,using the sediment samples collected from the lower part of the inter-tidal zone at Xiaoyangkou,Jiangsu coast,China.The Ariathurai-Partheniades equation was used to determine the bed shear stress,by evaluating variations in the suspended sediment concentration within the water column.The derived relation between the bed shear stress and suspended sediment concentration shows that,at various stages of seabed erosion, suspended sediment concentration increases rapidly when the flow velocity is increased,but the pattern of change in the bed shear stress does not follow suit.At low concentrations,bed shear stress initially increases markedly with increasing flow velocity.However,when the concentration reaches an apparently critical level around 0.55 kg m"3,the rate of change in the bed shear stress abruptly slows down,or becomes almost constant,in response to further increases in the flow velocity.Results of experiments indicate that,from a critical level onward,suspended sediment concentration has a strong influence on the bed shear stress.

通化矿业(集团)公司道清煤矿地质构造复杂,且已经进入深部开采阶段,煤体采动所形成的矿压对安全生产造成较大威胁。为预测该矿北斜井南平峒煤层冲击地压危险性的程度,对其煤层进行冲击地压危险性数值模拟,分析了煤层在自重应力场和构造应力场下水平应力、垂直应力、XY剪切应力大小及分布规律,得出应力集中区出现在F3号逆掩断层与煤层交汇处,即此处冲击地压危险性程度相对较大,开采时应注意防范,确保矿井安全开采。     

塔中台盆区原油正构烷烃摩尔浓度分布特征及意义

塔里木盆地塔中地区原油性质的多样性和复杂性十分罕见;分析表明,成熟作用和源岩相很可能是原油多样性的次要因素,主要影响因素可能与多期成藏或成藏后储层内的次生蚀变作用有关。本文对照正构烷烃摩尔浓度分布图版,辨别了塔中地区不同构造单元原油正构烷烃摩尔浓度的分布类型,分析了原油遭受次生蚀变作用的程度,以及蒸发分馏作用、气洗作用发生的原因及其对原油物性的影响。结果表明,由于运移通道以及与油气源的距离等因素,从塔中Ⅰ号断裂坡折带至中央断垒带,蒸发分馏作用和气洗作用发生的频率逐渐降低,但基态原油分布频率有增高的趋势。并且Ⅰ号断裂坡折带部分凝析油、高蜡油的形成主要与上述蒸发分馏、气洗、晶析等储层内的次生蚀变作用有关。

Quota concentration in the New Zealand fishery: Annual catch entitlement and the small fisher

New Zealand's quota management system (QMS) was introduced in 1986 to enhance the sustainability of New Zealand's fishery. This paper examines trends in quota and catch share concentration across a range of important fish stocks. It demonstrates that continuing concentration is occurring in the ownership of quota for deepwater species. At the same time there has been an increase in participation by small scale fishers in the inshore fishery. This appears to be driven by the introduction of the Annual Catch Entitlement (ACE) regime, allowing annual catch shares to be accessed at reduced transaction cost.
