Modelling of water withdrawal for pollutant flushing in the tidal river network,Pearl River Delta,China

Abstract

A one-dimensional water quantity and quality mathematical model was developed to evaluate the effects of joint gate–pump operation in terms of water withdrawal for pollutant flushing. The study was carried out in dry seasons in the Foshan River channel, China. The results indicate that the input of freshwater into the upper and middle reaches of the Foshan River can improve the water quality of the lower reaches. However, the backwater effect due to water diversion in the middle reaches of the river can greatly offset the cleaning processes in the upper reaches of the Foshan River. The results indicate that water quality in the upper Foshan River (Jiebian) may degrade with an increase in the rate of water withdrawal from the middle river when the discharge pumped from the upper Foshan River is less than 10m³/s; optimal water quality improvement is obtained with discharge values of 30 and 20 m³/s, respectively, at the upper and middle reaches of the Foshan River.

A new efficient Eulerian–Lagrangian localized adjoint method for solving the advection–dispersion equation on unstructured meshes

A new and high efficient scheme is developed for the Eulerian–Lagrangian Localized Adjoint Method (ELLAM) to solve the Advection–Dispersion transport Equation (ADE) on unstructured triangular meshes. To obtain accurate results, the new method requires a very limited number of integration points (usually 1 per element).

C-波段测风一次雷达的跟踪特性及其应用前景

利用我国研制的第一部Ｃ－波段测风一次雷达样机在成都和郑州试验现场取得的大量测试和施放记录，对该雷达跟踪固定目标的静态特性和活动目标的动态特性作了进一步统计分析。结果表明，在跟踪固定目标时，该雷达有根高的跟踪精度；在跟踪实际活动反射靶时，跟踪数据的离散度比跟踪固定目标时大，并指出，采用适当的滑动平均措施减小原始数据的离散度，并选择合适的计算水平风的时间间隔，就可获得精度高（如１ｍ／ｓ）而层结精细度合适的高空风廓线。

海河流域主要河口闸下通道风暴潮增水研究

建立东海-黄海-渤海大范围风暴潮二维数学模型,对9216台风风暴潮过程进行模拟,分析渤海湾造陆工程前后风暴潮增水对海河流域主要河口(海河口、永定新河口和独流减河口)闸下区域最高潮位的影响,并探讨有效降低河口闸下通道内风暴潮潮位的开发方式。研究表明:渤海湾围填海工程实施后,闸下通道内维持自然地形时,通道内最高潮位高于工程前;闸下通道实施地形开挖后,通道内最高潮位依然高于工程前,但较自然地形条件下抬高幅值有所减小。闸下通道结合开发建设港池航道等工程实施地形开挖,使得通道内水深增加,可降低通道内风暴潮增水幅度。     

Bab Agnaou gate, Marrakech, Morocco: characterization of original building material and commentary on their state of conservation

Bab Agnaou is the most ancient gate sculpted in stone during the Almohad era (twelfth century). The petrographic and mineralogical studies were carried out in order to characterize the original materials of construction. So the ashlar is a calcareous mudstone, whereas the mortar is one with lime binder. The characterization of the ashlar’s degradation state, based on the mapping of the gate, permitted to highlight the evolution, the extension and the relation between the different weathering forms. Thus it proved to be possible to distinguish the weathering forms related to architecture and the provision of the blocks, from those related to infiltration of water.

变分回波跟踪算法及其在对流临近预报中的应用试验

目前业务上0—1 h对流天气临近预报仍旧以客观外推为主,采用不同外推算法,得到雷达回波以及降水的外推临近预报。以业务应用为目标,开展了变分回波跟踪算法在强对流天气临近预报中的应用研究。利用京津冀地区的8部新一代多普勒天气雷达逐6 min雷达组网拼图资料,选取2016—2018年夏季发生在京津冀地区的18个典型对流个例,开展变分回波跟踪算法和交叉相关法的0—1 h临近预报对比试验及检验评估。与传统的交叉相关法相比,变分回波跟踪算法采用变分技术求解雷达回波运动矢量场,在计算中使用两个严格的约束条件,运用迭代法进行求解,其得到的运动矢量场更为准确。结果表明,变分回波跟踪算法优于传统的交叉相关法,得到的30、60 min内雷达回波的形状、位置及强度的外推预报和实况更接近,定量检验评分更高:（1）京津冀地区4次典型对流天气过程临近预报对比试验表明,和交叉相关法相比,变分回波跟踪算法可以更好地预报出未来1 h内雷达回波的位置、形态和强度。（2）通过对18个典型对流个例定量检验,发现当雷达回波强度阈值为35和45 dBz时,无论是30或是60 min外推预报,变分回波跟踪算法的命中率（POD）和临界成功指数（CSI）都明显高于交叉相关法,且虚警率（FAR）更低;分天气类型定量检验发现,绝大多数天气类型,变分回波跟踪算法外推预报效果优于交叉相关法。      

Automatic detection and tracking of pedestrians from a moving stereo rig

We report on a stereo system for 3D detection and tracking of pedestrians in urban traffic scenes. The system is built around a probabilistic environment model which fuses evidence from dense 3D reconstruction and image-based pedestrian detection into a consistent interpretation of the observed scene, and a multi-hypothesis tracker to reconstruct the pedestrians’ trajectories in 3D coordinates over time. Experiments on real stereo sequences recorded in busy inner-city scenarios are presented, in which the system achieves promising results.
