水中丝爆等离子体破岩机理研究

在隧道开挖、矿山开采等基础工程建设中,岩石爆破技术发挥着重要作用。等离子体碎岩技术具有无污染,破碎过程中无飞石、无有害气体的产生,使用方便,作业效率高,是替代炸药碎岩的最有效可行的方法。本文研究了水中丝爆产生等离子体破碎岩石的机理,分析了高电压脉冲放电过程中的铜丝融化过程,建立了铜丝在各阶段变化的电阻模型,利用MATLAB对不同阶段放电电路的电流进行了数值仿真分析,并与实验得到的电流波形进行对比。研究发现,电流波形,上升沿时间越短,脉冲放电效果越好。铜丝变化产生等离子体的过程中,等离子体通道具有一定的电阻性。实验数据结果与模型数值计算结果基本相符。     

分体式不提钻钻孔压水试验孔口装置的研发与应用

在钻探施工过程中,由于工程要求,必须对钻孔做孔口压水试验,根据钻孔吸水量、压力数据,检验钻孔的漏失及其他情况。传统孔口压水试验使用的孔口装置,必须把孔内钻具提出孔外,严重地影响工程施工进度。分体式不提钻钻孔压水试验孔口装置的研发,可在不提钻的情况下完成孔口压水试验作业,大幅度缩短施工工期,减轻工人的劳动强度,减少安全事故的发生,对钻探工程施工具有一定的经济价值和现实意义。本文详细介绍了研制的分体式不提钻钻孔压水试验孔口装置的结构、工作原理及使用方法,并与传统孔口压水装置进行了试验对比,验证了分体式不提钻孔口压水试验孔口装置工作的可靠性及优势。     

基于流体体积法的劈裂注浆有限元分析

劈裂注浆作为一种有效的土体加固方法,其理论研究落后于工程实践。提出了基于弥散裂缝模型和流体体积法的劈裂注浆有限元分析方法,并通过ABAQUS二次开发编写劈裂注浆有限元程序。数值分析结果能与室内试验较好吻合,验证了有限元算法的合理性。在此基础上研究了注浆孔埋深和注浆流量对劈裂浆脉形状的影响。结果表明,劈裂注浆过程可分为起劈和劈裂发展两个阶段。当劈裂浆脉扩展到模型边界后,继续注浆会引起注浆压力的大幅提高和已有浆脉宽度的增加。随着注浆孔埋深的增加,浆脉分支减少,长度减小,宽度增加,劈裂浆脉形状的主要控制因素从土体参数的随机性变成大小主应力值的差异。注浆量一定的情况下,注浆速率越大,劈裂浆脉长度越短,宽度越大,注浆终压也越大。研究为劈裂注浆的工程应用提供理论支撑。     

基于正演模拟的复合曲流带砂体内部构型解剖研究及应用

Q油田是渤海大型河流相沉积的稠油油田,其北区NmⅣ1主力含油砂体为复合曲流带沉积,经过16年的注水开发,油水关系复杂,平面注水受效不均的问题日益严重,如何优化注釆结构来改善开发效果已成为急需解决的问题。优化现有注釆井网的关键是认识复合曲流带砂体内部不同单河道砂体的切叠关系及展布特征,即对目标砂体开展内部不同单河道的构型单元分布特征研究。首先,依据岩电标定的测井曲线特征、局部发育的薄夹层以及曲流河纵向下切模式,对复合砂体内部不同单河道砂进行划分与对比;然后基于单井沉积微相划分结果,开展井间剖面相对比分析,表明复合砂体内部存在5种不同单河道砂体切叠模式;建立5种正演概念模型,利用地震正演模拟合成地震记录,总结了不同单河道砂体间顶面高程差异、点坝边界、废弃河道等曲流河砂体构型边界的波形特征;利用地震属性提取及多种地质构型方法,综合分析,最终实现了海上大井距条件下复合曲流带砂体内部不同单一曲流河砂体构型边界的精细识别;最后由注采动态资料的响应关系评估不同的切叠模式对注水效果的侧向遮挡程度,并以此为依据,优化现有的注釆井网并取得了非常好的生产效果。

Waveform and packet structure of lion roars

The Equator-S magnetometer is very sensitive and has a sampling rate of normally 128 Hz. The high sampling rate allows for the first time fluxgate magnetometer measurements of ELF waves between the ion cyclotron and the lower hybrid frequencies in the equatorial dayside magnetosheath. The so-called lion roars, typically seen by the Equator-S magnetometer at the bottom of the magnetic troughs of magnetosheath mirror waves, are near-monochromatic packets of electron whistler waves lasting for a few wave cycles only, typically 0.25 s. They are right-hand circularly polarized waves with typical amplitudes of 0.5–1 nT at around one tenth of the electron gyrofrequency. The cone angle between wave vector and ambient field is usually smaller than 1.5°.     

Testing electric field models using ring current ion energy spectra from the Equator-S ion composition (ESIC) instrument

During the main and early recovery phase of a geomagnetic storm on February 18, 1998, the Equator-S ion composition instrument (ESIC) observed spectral features which typically represent the differences in loss along the drift path in the energy range (5–15 keV/e) where the drift changes from being E × B dominated to being gradient and curvature drift dominated. We compare the expected energy spectra modeled using a Volland-Stern electric field and a Weimer electric field, assuming charge exchange along the drift path, with the observed energy spectra for H⁺ and O⁺. We find that using the Weimer electric field gives much better agreement with the spectral features, and with the observed losses. Neither model, however, accurately predicts the energies of the observed minima.     

Analysis of thick, non-planar boundaries using the discontinuity analyser

The advent of missions comprised of phased arrays of spacecraft, with separation distances ranging down to at least mesoscales, provides the scientific community with an opportunity to accurately analyse the spatial and temporal dependencies of structures in space plasmas. Exploitation of the multi-point data sets, giving vastly more information than in previous missions, thereby allows unique study of their small-scale physics. It remains an outstanding problem, however, to understand in what way comparative information across spacecraft is best built into any analysis of the combined data. Different investigations appear to demand different methods of data co-ordination. Of the various multi-spacecraft data analysis techniques developed to affect this exploitation, the discontinuity analyser has been designed to investigate the macroscopic properties (topology and motion) of boundaries, revealed by multi-spacecraft magnetometer data, where the possibility of at least mesoscale structure is considered. It has been found that the analysis of planar structures is more straightforward than the analysis of non-planar boundaries, where the effects of topology and motion become interwoven in the data, and we argue here that it becomes necessary to customise the analysis for non-planar events to the type of structure at hand. One issue central to the discontinuity analyser, for instance, is the calculation of normal vectors to the structure. In the case of planar and ‘thin’ non-planar structures, the method of normal determination is well-defined, although subject to uncertainties arising from unwanted signatures. In the case of ‘thick’, non-planar structures, however, the method of determination becomes particularly sensitive to the type of physical sampling that is present. It is the purpose of this article to firstly review the discontinuity analyser technique and secondly, to discuss the analysis of the normals to thick non-planar structures detected in magnetometer data.     

Determination of Molybdenum, Antimony and Tungsten at sub μg g−1 Levels in Geological Materials by ID-FI-ICP-MS

We have developed a rapid and accurate method for the determination of Mo, Sb and W in geological samples using isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry with a flow injection system (ID-FI-ICP-MS). The chemical procedure requires HF digestion of the sample with a Mo-Sb-W mixed spike, subsequent evaporation and dissolution of Mo, Sb and W from Mg and Ca fluorides with HF. Recovery yields of Mo, Sb and W in the extraction were > 94% for samples of peridotite, basalt and andesite composition, with the exception of W in samples of peridotite composition for which recovery was 81%. No matrix effects were observed in the determination of the isotope ratios of Mo, Sb and W in solutions prepared from peridotite, basalt and andesite samples down to a dilution factor of 100. Detection limits of Mo, Sb and W in silicate materials were at the several ng g⁻¹ level. Analysis of the silicate reference materials PCC-1, DTS-1, BCR-1, BHVO-1, AGV-1 from the US Geological Survey and JP-1, JB-1, -2, -3, JA-1, -2, and -3 from the Geological Survey of Japan as well as the Smithsonian reference Allende powder yielded reliable Mo, Sb and W concentrations. The repeatability in the analysis of basalts and andesites was < 9%. This technique requires only 0.2 ml sample solution, and is therefore suitable for analyzing small and/or precious samples such as meteorites, mantle peridotites and their mineral separates.
