乌东德水电站水垫塘边坡雾化雨入渗数值分析

高坝泄洪雾化雨入渗是影响其水垫塘边坡稳定的关键因素之一。为分析乌东德水电站水垫塘边坡受泄洪雾化雨影响程度,选取水垫塘边坡典型断面,建立二维非饱和、非稳定渗流计算模型,采用有限元法模拟泄洪雾化雨入渗过程,分析雾化雨入渗条件下坡体饱和区范围及压力水头的变化规律,同时对比研究坡面防护措施的效果。结果表明,对于坡体内部渗透性上强、下弱的部位,随着入渗补给量的持续增加,在阻水部位压力水头会逐渐升高;当坡面采取弱透水材料防护后,可显著减少坡面雾雨入渗量,从而显著降低雾化雨入渗对坡体渗流场的影响     

不同降雨模式下山谷型垃圾填埋场水分运移及其稳定性研究

近10年的运营经验表明,国内南方地区第1批建造的山谷型垃圾填埋场中的渗滤液水位一般较高。同时,现有研究表明,降雨入渗引起渗滤液水位过高是垃圾填埋场失稳的主要诱因之一。因此,研究强降雨条件下山谷型垃圾填埋场的水分运移规律及其稳定性,具有重要的现实意义。基于七子山填埋场浅层、中层和深层垃圾土的土-水特征曲线和Brooks-Corey公式,利用非线性拟合技术得到垃圾土的渗透性函数;运用饱和-非饱和渗流理论,对递减型、中心型、增强型和平均型4种降雨模式下七子山填埋场的水分运移进行了数值计算;利用极限平衡理论,对不同降雨模式下七子山填埋场的稳定性进行了分析。结果表明,降雨模式对山谷型垃圾填埋场内的水分运移规律和填埋场的稳定性有显著的影响,递减型降雨模式下填埋场内孔隙水压的变化最大,同时填埋场稳定系数也下降最为明显,为最不利降雨模式;经历7 d 746 mm的极端强降雨后,七子山填埋场具有极大的失稳隐患。     

青海湖湖东沙地不同沙丘降雨入渗研究

降雨入渗对干旱、半干旱区土壤水分的影响很大,降雨量、降雨强度、土壤前期含水量等要素都会影响水分的入渗过程。本文通过监测青海湖湖东沙地3种类型沙丘的土壤水分和降雨情况,对区内降雨特征以及不同要素对沙丘水分入渗的影响进行了分析。结果表明：降雨量只有达到某一临界值才发生下渗,流动沙丘、固定沙丘、经治理（人工植被+麦草方格沙障）的流动沙丘发生下渗的临界降雨量分别为5.6 mm、1.6 mm、0.2 mm。水分累积入渗量随降雨量增大而增加,降雨量相同的情况下,入渗量大小表现为经治理的流动沙丘>固定沙丘>流动沙丘。当降雨量和土壤前期含水量相近时,入渗量随降雨强度的增大而增加,尤其在小降雨事件下,降雨强度是影响入渗的关键因素,大降雨事件下降雨量则成为影响入渗的决定因素。降雨量和降雨强度相近的情况下,入渗量与土壤前期含水量呈负相关关系。随着降雨量增大,入渗水分全部消耗所需要的时间逐渐增加,尤其当降雨量大于10 mm时,入渗水分消耗所需时间将随着降雨量的增大迅速增加。     

Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians

Anthropogenic habitats such as marinas and docks are focal points for marine invasions, but relatively little is known about the infiltration of nearby natural habitats by these invaders. To address infiltration by four geographically widespread ascidian invaders, we used a two‐step approach: (i) a field survey with equitable sampling in adjacent artificial and natural habitats in British Columbia, Canada, and (ii) a literature review, to infer larger scale patterns across species’ introduced global ranges. Our field survey revealed differential distribution patterns among the four ascidians recorded, with infiltration of natural rocky habitats by two species, Botrylloides violaceus and Botryllus schlosseri. We did not record Didemnum vexillum or Styela clava in natural habitats, though they were both recorded on adjacent artificial structures. Globally, these ascidian species are predominantly found associated with anthropogenic habitats including floating docks, pilings and aquaculture installations, but they have infiltrated natural habitats in some areas of their introduced range. The factors contributing to infiltration of nearby natural benthic habitats remains unclear, but determining which mechanisms are important for encouraging or hindering the establishment and spread of nonindigenous species beyond artificial structures requires survey and experimental work beyond anthropogenic habitats. Such work will aid our understanding of marine introduction dynamics, invasiveness, and associated management implications.     

膨胀土堑坡雨水入渗速率的影响因素与相关性分析

从土体初始含水率和降雨强度2个影响因素出发,通过现场试验分析了膨胀土堑坡雨水入渗速率的变化特性。试验结果表明,对于膨胀土堑坡,一定雨强连续的降雨才能使水分持续有效的入渗;土体含水率的变化主要取决于降雨的历时,而不是降雨强度。雨水入渗过程中,随着土体初始含水率的降低,坡面侵蚀程度有所降低。降雨强度较小时,雨水对坡面侵蚀不大;随着降雨强度的增加,坡面侵蚀逐渐加剧,但侵蚀程度逐渐收敛。植被的存在会改善土体的渗透性,同时也将大大降低雨水对坡面的侵蚀。     

Detachment and infiltration variations as consequence of regolith development in a Pyrenean badland system

The Araguás experimental catchment has been monitored to study badland dynamics in the Central Pyrenees. Previous studies of weathering processes within the catchment reported strong regolith dynamics associated with seasonal variations in the temperature and moisture regimes. A preliminary analysis of hydrological response and suspended sediment transport data recorded at a gauging station also demonstrated seasonal trends. The main objective of the present study is to understand the effect of regolith dynamics on sediment detachment and infiltration processes, based on field studies using simulated rainfall. The experiment design was based on seasonal differences in the physical conditions of surface regolith and the general trends of hydro‐sedimentological responses. Rainfall simulations were conducted on small plots using a pressure nozzle. Similar experimental rainfall conditions were set for all plots (rainfall intensity around 45 mm h^–1). The results showed strong variations in the infiltration and detachment responses closely associated with the regolith conditions and crusting development. Infiltration showed seasonal differences in time lag and intensity: average infiltration rates ranged from very low (2·05 mm h^–1) to moderated high values (44·04 mm h^–1) associated to regolith development conditions. Maximum sediment concentration, as an indicator of particles produced by detachment, also ranged from moderate (3 g l^–1) to extreme values (145 g l^–1). Mean and minimum infiltration rates showed negative correlations with initial moisture content. Sediment concentration showed a positive correlation with time lag, ponding, and sealing time, and a negative correlation with initial moisture. In terms of seasonal trends, infiltration and erosion responses were relatively stable during spring and autumn, whereas wide variations were recorded in infiltration rates and sediment detachment during summer and winter. As a general conclusion, the obtained results indicate that seasonal differences in detachment and infiltration depend on the nature of regolith development.

Topographic controls upon soil macropore flow

Macropores are important components of soil hydrology. The spatial distribution of macropore flow as a proportion of saturated hydraulic conductivity was tested on six humid–temperate slopes using transects of tension infiltrometer measurements. Automated water table and overland flow monitoring allowed the timing of, and differentiation between, saturation‐excess overland flow and infiltration‐excess overland flow occurrence on the slopes to be determined and related to tension‐infiltrometer measurements. Two slopes were covered with blanket peat, two with stagnohumic gleys and two with brown earth soils. None of the slopes had been disturbed by agricultural activity within the last 20 years. This controlled the potential for tillage impacts on macropores. The proportion of near‐surface macropore flow to saturated hydraulic conductivity was found to vary according to slope position. The spatial patterns were not the same for all hillslopes. On the four non‐peat slopes there was a relationship between locations of overland flow occurrence and reduced macroporosity. This relationship did not exist for the peat slopes investigated because they experienced overland flow across their whole slope surfaces. Nevertheless, they still had a distinctive spatial pattern of macropore flow according to slope position. For the other soils tested, parts of slopes that were susceptible to saturation‐excess overland flow (e.g. hilltoes or flat hilltops) tended to have least macropore flow. To a lesser extent, for the parts of slopes susceptible to infiltration‐excess overland flow, the proportion of macropore flow as a component of infiltration was also smaller compared with the rest of the slope. The roles of macropore creation and macropore infilling by sheet wash are discussed, and it is noted that the combination of these may result in distinctive topographically controlled spatial patterns of macropore flow.

连续降雨条件下某震后高边坡稳定性分析

基于饱和-非饱和渗流理论,综合考虑降雨入渗引起土体重量增加、渗透力增大以及抗剪强度降低等因素的影响,建立降雨条件下震后高边坡有限元模型,运用自编计算程序USLOPE-FEM进行稳定性分析。研究结果表明:未降雨之前,坡体塑性应变主要集中分布于松散堆积体下部与基岩分界面,边坡已经接近临界平衡状态;降雨量20mm/h时连续入渗使边坡上部土层含水量增加,负压区消失且出现饱和区;随着降雨时间延长,坡体表层暂态饱和区逐渐向内部推移,土体的重量和渗透力显著增大、抗剪强度明显降低,坡体中剪应力整体增大,塑性应变区向坡顶扩展而逐渐贯通;连续降雨6h后,临空面表层出现局部滑塌,连续降雨36h后整个堆积层将沿基岩滑塌逐步堵江。研究成果可为强降雨条件下边坡安全性评价提供参考,也为该边坡的失稳预警与滑坡防治积累资料。     

Ecomorphodynamics of rivers with converging boundaries

Many rivers worldwide show converging sections where a characteristic limiting front for vegetation establishment on gravel bars is observed. An important conceptual model was advanced in 2006 by Gurnell and Petts, who demonstrated that for the convergent section of the Tagliamento River the downstream front of vegetation establishment can be explained by unit stream power. We introduce a theoretical framework based on 1D ecomorphodynamic equations modified to account for the biological dynamics of vegetation. We obtain the first analytical result explaining the position and river width where vegetation density is expected to vanish in relation to a characteristic streamflow magnitude and both hydraulic and biological parameters. We apply our model to a controlled experiment within a convergent flume channel with growing seedlings perturbed by periodic floods. For a range of timescales where hydrological and biological processes interact, we observe the formation of a front in the convergent section beyond which vegetation cannot survive, the location of which is explained by flow magnitude. This experiment confirms that the timescales of the involved processes and the unit stream power determine the existence and the position of the front within convergent river reaches, respectively.
