A lattice Boltzmann model coupled with a Large Eddy Simulation model for flows around a groyne

This present paper proposes a two-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model coupled with a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model and applies it to flows around a non-submerged groyne in a channel. The LES of shallow water equations is efficiently performed using the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and the turbulence can be taken into account in conjunction with the Smagorinsky Sub-Grid Stress (SGS) model. The bounce-back scheme of the non-equilibrium part of the distribution function is used to determine the unknown distribution functions at inflow boundary, the zero gradient of the distribution function is set normal to outflow boundary to obtain the unknown distribution functions here and the bounce-back scheme, which states that an incoming particle towards the boundary is bounced back into fluid, is applied to the solid wall to ensure non-slip boundary conditions. The initial flow field is defined firstly and then is used to calculate the local equilibrium distributions as initial conditions of the distribution functions. These coupled models successfully predict the flow characteristics, such as circulating flow, velocity and water depth distributions. The comparisons between the simulated results and the experimental data show that the model scheme has the capacity to solve the complex flows in shallow water with reasonable accuracy and reliability.     

Assessment of an ASTER-generated DEM for 2D hydrodynamic flood modeling

Flood modeling often provides inputs to flood hazard management. In the present work we studied the flooding characteristics in the data scarce region of the Lake Tana basin at the source of the Blue Nile River. The study required to integrate remote sensing, GIS with a two-dimensional (2D) module of the SOBEK flood model. The resolution of the topographic data in many areas, such as the Lake Tana region, is commonly too poor to support detailed 2D hydrodynamic modeling. To overcome such limitations, we used a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) which was generated from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) image. A GIS procedure is developed to reconstruct the river terrain and channel bathymetry. The results revealed that a representation of the river terrain largely affects the simulated flood characteristics. Simulations indicate that effects of Lake Tana water levels propagate up to 13 km along the Ribb River. We conclude that a 15 m resolution ASTER DEM can serve as an input to detailed 2D hydrodynamic modeling in data scarce regions. However, for this purpose it is necessary to accurately reconstruct the river terrain geometry and flood plain topography based on ground observations by means of a river terrain model.     

On the planing of a flat plate at high Froude numbers in a two-dimensional case

We seek the solution of the planing of a flat plate at high Froude numbers by a perturbation procedure. The angle of attack of the plate is assumed to vary with the speed of the plate in the present study. A harmonic function K is introduced for the solution of the first-order disturbance potential which becomes the Green function in the limiting case when the Froude number tends to infinity. We get the solution of the first-order potential from Green's theorem applied to K and the first-order potential. Then we obtain the asymptotic solutions of the angle of attack α, lift L and drag D as follows:

where α1. Here W, L_W, and U are the weight of the plate per unit width, wetted length, and speed of the plate, respectively.     

Experiments on wave transmission coefficients of floating breakwaters

To find a simple, inexpensive, and effective type of floating breakwater for deep-sea aquaculture, we studied three types of structures: the single box, the double box, and the board net. We conducted two-dimensional physical model tests in a wave-current flume in the laboratory to measure the wave transmission coefficients of the three types of breakwaters under regular waves with or without currents. Based on the initial comparison of the wave transmission coefficients, we proposed the use of the board-net floating breakwater for use with fish cages; we then conducted detailed experiments to examine how wave transmission coefficients are affected by several factors, including the width of the board, the row number of the net, the rigidity of the board, and the current velocity. The experimental results show that the board-net floating breakwater, which is a simple and inexpensive type of structure, can effectively protect fish and fish cages and may be adopted for aquaculture engineering in deep-water regions.

大地电磁资料精细处理和二维反演解释技术研究（四）——阻抗张量分解的多测点-多频点统计成像分析

基于大地电磁阻抗张量分解技术,本文提出了两种电性主轴方位的统计描述图像：随频率变化的统计分布成像（频率分布云图）和随测点序列变化的统计分布成像（测点分布云图）.这两种图像与传统的统计玫瑰图一起,较全面地描述了最佳主轴的分布特征.在进行构造维性分析过程中,通过定义二维有效因子e2d,来压制一维结构和三维结构、突出纯二维结构的影响.e2d被用于电性主轴的统计加权,有效地起到了滤波的作用;同时,统计成像中还考虑了数据质量的影响.为了得到稳定、高质量的区域阻抗张量数据,提出并实现了共主轴的多测点-多频点阻抗张量分解新算法.最终,完成了以上各项处理手段的可视化实现.本文通过两个理论模型和一个实测算例,以共轭阻抗法（CCZ法）为基础,展示了这一新技术的有效性.

琼东南盆地长昌凹陷火成岩侵入体对温度场及烃源岩成熟度的影响

最新地震资料显示,琼东南盆地深水区长昌凹陷内部分布着多个火成岩侵入体,单个侵入体的面积可超过300 km2,高(厚)度约为10 km.本文基于有限元方法的二维剖面地温场模拟,分析了研究区位于同一条地震测线上的三个不同规模侵入体对温度场的影响,并结合热史恢复方法及Easy%Ro模型,定量评价了侵入体对距其2 km及5 km处人工井崖城组烃源岩有机质成熟度Ro的影响.结果表明,凹陷内火成岩侵入体对温度场有显著影响的时限不超过1 Ma,5 Ma以后影响非常微弱,10 Ma以后侵入体温度与围岩温度基本一致;侵入体对烃源岩有机质成熟度的影响随侵入体的规模、距侵入体的距离不同而不同,规模最大侵入体对距其2 km处崖城组烃源岩成熟度Ro的影响可达1.6%,而对距其5 km处的烃源岩成熟度影响较小.     

云南西部地壳深部结构特征

在云南西部,穿过红河、小江断裂带完成了一条长360 km、呈北东向的深地震宽角反射/折射剖面.通过对该测线的观测资料进行一维、二维模拟解释,得到了沿剖面的二维地壳速度模型.研究结果显示,沿测线Moho界面埋深横线变化大,其西南侧Moho埋深约35 km,东北侧Moho最大埋深可达43 km.沿剖面从西南到北东方向,地壳平均P波速度从5.9 km/s逐渐增加到6.13 km/s,但显著低于全球大陆平均值.结合以往的接收函数和面波联合反演结果,我们推算沿测线从西南到东北,其下方地壳泊松比介于0.23~0.25之间.剖面西南侧上地壳具有异常低的P波速度和泊松比,暗示其下方上地壳以α-相长英质组分为主;而剖面东北上地壳相对较高的P波速度和泊松比则暗示其物质组成以花岗岩-花岗闪长岩为主.研究区下地壳的P波速度和泊松比分别介于6.25~6.75 km/s和0.24~0.26 km/s之间,暗示其上部组成以花岗岩相的片麻岩为主,而下部组成则以角闪石类岩石为主.红河断裂两侧地壳速度显著不同,从浅到深其速度差异逐渐变弱,但红河断裂两侧地壳厚度变化较大.而小江断裂下方两侧地壳速度和地壳厚度变化并没有红河断裂那么明显.
