Numerical Simulations of Free Convection about a Vertical Flat Plate Embedded in a Porous Medium

We consider the free convection about a vertical flat plate embedded in a porous medium within the framework of a boundary layer approximation. In some cases, similarity solutions arise in the modelization of such phenomena, allowing a reduction of the dimension of the problem. We suggest two complementary and rather simple numerical methods to compute such solutions. When possible, the numerical analysis for the two discretizations is performed and convergence results are given. Numerical experiments with a physical model are presented to confirm the efficiency of both approaches.     

张北6.2级地震前廊坊地区水位中期异常特征分析

对张北6．2级地夺前廊坊市区域内4口浅井的水位变差研究表明，这4口井的水位变差在张北地震前显示出明显的中期和中短期异常变化，存在着“正值上升→下降→负值→地震”的规律。认为浅井水位作为一种附加力源，以流体载荷、孔隙压力、化学腐蚀的形式作用于地壳岩石，对张北地震的发生起到了促进作用。     

北方干旱区表生介质中金存在形式的研究

对北方干旱区表生介质（土壤或水质沉积物）中的金进行了7种存在形式的研究，结果表明：金主要以自然金相为主（50％）以上，其次为水溶相、吸附相和有机相等。水溶相金在北方干旱气候带普遍存在，说明此自然景观区的金矿床，其表生介质中的金具有明显的溶解作用，呈水溶相金的形式进行迁移。当环境物化条件改变时，金沉淀形成局部富集。应用野外泡塑测金法，金异常衬度大、稳定性好，具有较好的找矿效果。     

Embedded foundation in layered soil under dynamic excitations

The critical step in the substructure approach for the soil–structure interaction (SSI) problem is to determine the impedance functions (dynamic-stiffness coefficients) of the foundations. In the present study, a computational tool is developed to determine the impedance functions of foundation in layered soil medium. Cone frustums are used to model the foundation soil system. Cone frustums are developed based on wave propagation principles and force-equilibrium approach. The model is validated for its ability to represent the embedded foundation in layered medium by comparing the results with the rigorous analysis results. Various degrees of freedom, such as, horizontal, vertical and rocking are considered for this study.     

Research on seismic stress triggering

Introduction What is called seismic stress triggering refers to that stress change tensor produced by previous earthquake projected on the fault plane and slip direction of subsequent earthquakes, taking into account normal stress, pore pressure and friction coefficient, and Coulomb failure stress change DCFS can be obtained. If the direction of Coulomb failure stress changes are consistent with slip direction of subsequent seismic mechanism, e.g., Coulomb failure stress changes are positive…

华北与东南沿海地区岩石介质差异性研究

通过地震活动性特征研究了华北与东南沿海地区岩石介质差异性，以唐山、海域及福建地区为例，计算了上述地区的视应力降和环境应力背景值，并用分形理论中的标度揭示了这种差异性的定量特征。结果表明，在华北地区（唐山与海城），环境应力值有强烈的涨落，而东南沿海地区（福建）其涨落并不明显，从而揭示了华北与东南沿海地区地壳岩石介质的差异性。这意味着上述地区的动力学特征在板块构造力作用下存在明显的差异。最后，应用动力学观点讨论了上述变化的复杂性和可能存在的问题。     

A study of crust and upper mantle structure in Northeastern region of China by means of synthetic seismograms

In this paper, structure models of the crust and upper mantle beneath each station have been obtained by way of fitting synthetic seismograms with P waveforms of deep focus teleseismic records from the 11 stations in the Northeastern Region of China. We have studied the structure in the region based on those models. Our results show that the medium of the crust and upper mantle is a layered structure with alternate high and low velocity layers within about 100 km under the region. The crustal thickness is about 31.8–35.8 km. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,13, 471–479, 1991. This work is one part of the project funded by the State Seismological Bureau of China.
