不规则隔水地质界面上覆均质土体稳态浸润线研究

地下水的分布对斜坡（滑坡）稳定性评价和治理有着重要的影响,且其影响因素较多,目前,对于下伏不规则隔水地质界面上斜坡的稳态浸润线还没有可用的解析解,特别是已知斜坡（滑坡）体上具有已知水位的情况下,准确确定已知水位之间坡体的浸润线对斜坡（滑坡）稳定性评价有重要作用,因此,下伏不规则隔水地质界面上斜坡的稳态浸润线研究是很有必要的。本文采用自由表面流的简化,推导了下伏隔水地质界面上均质土体的单宽含水层流量表达式,依据基床倾角把均质含水层流量表达式（Boussinesq方程式）分为两种：顺坡和逆坡。依据两种Boussinesq方程式,利用流体连续性原理,得到了下伏不规则隔水地质界面上均质土体的稳态浸润线方程和流量,通过与数值模拟（Autobank有限元程序）结果对比可知,本文的解析解与有限元数值模拟（Autobank有限元程序）的稳态浸润线和通过的流量基本一致。由于采用了Dupuit近似,本文的解析解与数值解存在一定的误差,顺坡的误差大于逆坡,坡度较大的误差大于坡度较小的误差,庆幸的是该近似产生的误差很小,总体来说,该稳态浸润线解析方法是可靠、稳定和合理的。

内孤立波对小直径直立桩柱作用力的实验研究

内孤立波具有较大的振幅与较强的垂向剪切,能对海洋工程设施产生极大的破坏作用。本文设计实验研究了内孤立波与直立小直径桩柱的相互作用,采用粒子图像速度测量法(PIV)测量内孤立波的流速场,并采用自行设计的测力天平测量桩柱受力,测量分析了内孤立波对小直径直立桩柱产生作用力的实验值,与Morison公式计算的理论值比较。实验结果表明,第一模态内孤立波的流速方向以及作用力在桩柱的上下部分方向相反,产生很强的速度切变和扭力,对小直径直立桩柱造成破坏。通过与Morison公式计算的理论值比较,发现实验值与理论值的大小以及分布规律基本相同。     

An Improved Ekman Layer Approximation for Smooth Eddy Diffusivity Profiles

The Ekman boundary-layer model is extended analytically for a gradually varying eddy diffusivity K(z) ≥ 0, z ≥ 0. A solution for the Ekman layer is provided having similar structure to the constant-K case; that is, exponentially decaying sine functions for the two horizontal wind components. The analytical asymptotic solution compares well with its numerical counterpart for various K(z). The result can be useful in theoretical studies such as Ekman pumping, for efficient estimation of the Ekman layer profiles in various analyses with near-neutral stratifications, or for a rapid initialization of mesoscale models.     

The effect of Holocene temperature fluctuations on the evolution and ecology of Neotoma (woodrats) in Idaho and northwestern Utah

Animals respond to climatic change by adapting or by altering distributional patterns. How an animal responds is influenced by where it is positioned within its geographic range; the probability of extirpation is increased near range boundaries. Here, we examine the impact of Holocene climatic fluctuations on a small mammalian herbivore, the bushy-tailed woodrat (Neotoma cinerea), at five locations within south central Idaho and northwestern Utah. Previous work demonstrated that woodrats adapt to temperature shifts by altering body size. We focus here on the relationship between body mass, temperature, and location within the geographic range. Body mass is estimated by measuring fossil fecal pellets, a technique validated in earlier work. Overall, we find the predicted phenotypic response to climate change: animals were larger during cold periods, and smaller during warmer episodes. However, we also identify several time periods when changes in environmental temperature exceeded the adaptive flexibility of N. cinerea. A smaller-bodied species, the desert woodrat (N. lepida) apparently invaded lower elevation sites during the mid-Holocene, despite being behaviorally and physically subordinate to N. cinerea. Analysis of contemporary patterns of body size and thermal tolerances for both woodrat species suggests this was because of the greater heat tolerance of N. lepida. The robust spatial relationship between contemporary body size and ambient temperature is used as a proxy to reconstruct local climate during the Holocene.     

宁波育王山山前断层几何结构及新活动时代

根据1：10000条带状地质填图所获资料,分析了育王山山前断层的几何结构和新活动时代。断层北起岙张水库大坝东北,向南经河头蕉-竺家-陈家-钱家-俞家-王家一线以西,止于詹家西南,由2条次级段呈羽列式展布,北段为岙张水库-红岩水库段,南段为红岩水库东南-詹家段。剖面上断层地貌显示清楚,西侧为侏罗系构成的育王山低山,东侧为大楔盆地。各条断层皆由多个断面构成宽几米-几十米的断层带。根据探槽、天然剖面特征和OSL、ESR样品年龄测试结果综合分析,断层至少有两期活动,早期活动性质为逆断层,时间为早更新世,晚期活动性质为右旋走滑兼正断或逆断层,时间为中更新世,最新活动时代为中更新世晚期。通过探槽揭露,确定育王山山前洪积扇陡坎是人类活动造成,而非断层陡坎。

Extension of Haskind's relations to cylindrical wave fields in the context of an interaction theory

The Direct Matrix Method Interaction Theory (IT) proposed by Kagemoto and Yue [1] speeds up the computation of hydrodynamic coefficients for large arrays of bodies when compared to direct calculations using standard Boundary Element Method (BEM) solvers. One of the most computationally expensive parts of the matrix method is the calculation of two hydrodynamic operators, known as Diffraction Transfer Matrix (DTM) and Radiation Characteristics (RC), which describe the way an isolated geometry scatters and radiates waves, respectively. A third operator, called Force Transfer Matrix (FTM), was introduced by McNatt et al. [2] to facilitate the calculation of the forces exerted on the bodies. In this paper, a novel set of relations between the FTM and RC components is obtained using the Kochin functions specific to the cylindrical basis solutions. They extend the classical Haskind's relations, valid with incident plane waves, to the cylindrical components of the scattered and radiated fields. Moreover, an alternative demonstration of the identities is given, which does not rely on the far-field asymptotic representation of the potential. Additional expressions are provided that relate the hydrodynamic coefficients and the RC for isolated bodies as well as for arrays, and numerical checking of the derived mathematical expressions is presented. These new relations can be used to speed up calculation of the hydrodynamic operators required for the use of the IT and to test its accuracy.     

The importance of missing strain in Deep Water Fold and Thrust Belts

Deep water fold and thrust belts (DWFTBs) are sedimentary wedges that accommodate plate-scale deformation on both active and passive continental margins. Internally, these wedges consist of individual structures that strongly influence sediment dispersal, bathymetry and fluid migration. Most DWFTB studies investigate basin- and intra-wedge- scale processes using seismic reflection profiles, yet are inherently limited by seismic resolution. Of critical importance is strain distribution and its accommodation on discrete faults compared to distributed deformation. Recent studies have considered strain distribution by investigating regional reflection DWFTBs profiles within coupled systems, which contain down-dip compression and up-dip extension. There is broad agreement of a mis-balance in compression versus extension, with ∼5% excess in the latter associated with horizontal compaction, yet this remains unproven.Using two exceptionally well exposed outcrops in the Spanish Pyrenees we consider deformation of DWFTB at a scale comparable to, and beyond, seismic resolution for the first time. By coupling outcrop observations (decametre to hectometre scale) with a re-evaluation of seismic profiles from the Orange Basin, South Africa, which contains one of the best imaged DWFTBs globally, we provide a unique insight into the deformation from metre to margin scale. Our observations reveal hitherto unrecognised second order structures that account for the majority of the previously recognised missing strain. This re-evaluation implies that ∼5% missing strain should be accounted for in all DWFTBs, therefore existing studies using restorations of the sediment wedge will have underestimated crustal shortening in active margins, or sedimentary shortening in gravity driven systems by this amount. In contrast to previous studies, our observations imply that the majority of this strain is accommodated on discrete fault surfaces and this can explain the occurrence and location of a range of intra-wedge processes that are intimately linked to structures including sediment dispersal, fluid migration pathways and reservoir compartmentalisation.
