Sunspot groups as tracers of sub-surface processes

Data on sunspot groups have been quite useful for obtaining clues to several processes on global and local scales within the sun which lead to emergence of toroidal magnetic flux above the sun’s surface. I present here a report on such studies carried out at Indian Institute of Astrophysics during the last decade or so.     

Active region magnetic fields

The tilt angles of sunspot groups are defined, using the Mount Wilson data set. It is shown that groups with tilt angles greater than or less than the average value (≈ 5 deg) show different latitude dependences. This effect is also seen in synoptic magnetic field data defining plages. The fraction of the total sunspot group area that is found in the leading spots is discussed as a parameter that can be useful in studying the dynamics of sunspot groups. This parameter is larger for low tilt angles, and small for extreme tilt angles in either direction. The daily variations of sunspot group tilt angles are discussed. The result that sunspot tilt angles tend to rotate toward the average value is reviewed. It is suggested that at some depth, perhaps 50 Mm, there is a flow relative to the surface that results from a rotation rate faster than the surface rate by about 60 m/sec and a meridional drift that is slower than the surface rate by about 5 m/sec. This results in a slanted relative flow at that depth that is in the direction of the average tilt angle and may be responsible for the tendency for sunspot groups (and plages) to rotate their magnetic axes in the direction of the average tilt angle.     

Group Settling Velocity of Non-Cohesive Sediment Mixtures

Settling velocity is a fundamental parameter in sediment transport dynamics.For uniform Par-ticles,there are abundant formulas for calculation of their settling velocities.But in natural fields,sedi-ment consists of non-uniform particles.The interaction among particles is complex and should not be neg-lected.In this paper,based on the analysis of settling mechanism of non-cohesive and non-uniform parti-cles,a theoretical model to describe settling mechanism is proposed.Besides suspension concentration andupward turbulent flow caused by other particles,collision among particles is another main factor influ-encing settling velocity.By introducing the collision theory,equations of fall velocity before collision,colli-sion probability,and fall velocity after collision are established.Finally,a formula used to calculate the set-tling velocity of non-cohesive particles with wide grain gradation is presented,which agrees well with theexperimental data.     

基于RAGA的供水库群水资源配置模型研究

针对动态规划在供水库群优化调度中存在"维数灾",且难以获得真正最优解这一缺点,将改进的加速遗传算法应用到供水库群的水资源优化配置之中。在加速遗传算法中,嵌入局部搜索,以加强算法的全局寻优能力。以库群间的水利联系为线索,设计了相应的算法框架,并提出了供水策略区间的概念。为了体现该算法的优越性,以二个串联供水水库的水资源优化配置为例,选用该方法与基于动态规划的轮库迭代法进行比较研究。结果表明该方法合理可行、收敛速度快,有一定的实用性。

海上风电场高桩承台群桩基础平台的设计研究

针对国内海上风电基础设计没有统一的规范及标准,为提升海上风电基础设计建设的水平,通过对东南沿海某海域海上风电基础的设计进行了有限元计算分析论证,验证了群桩高承台结构设计方案的设计方法和设计参数。分析结果表明该设计的最大应力主要发生在塔筒底座与承台接触部位及钢管桩与承台连接段,应在连接部位加强措施处理;基础竖直位移较小,水平位移相对较大;分界部位应力较集中,刚度不能顺畅过渡,可考虑填充碎石土等方法加强。本研究对海上风电基础设计技术的研究与探索,可为将来制定中国海上风电行业标准提供可靠的依据,对中国未来大批量的海上风电能源的开发有着重要意义。

东秦岭(河南段)二郎坪群铜多金属成矿环境及成矿效应

二郎坪群位于北秦岭造山带中,在二郎坪群这套火山—沉积岩系中,含有在河南省占有重要地位的铜多金属矿。文章通过对二郎坪群的沉积建造特征、变基性火山岩的形成环境和岩浆来源特征的研究,认为二郎坪群形成于弧后盆地环境,其盆地规模和岩浆来源在盆地东西方向上存在差异,而铜多金属矿床成矿作用与二郎坪群的形成环境和变基性火山岩岩浆来源有着紧密的内在联系。二郎坪群弧后盆地在海底喷流作用下形成了不同成矿元素组合的铜-锌型和铅-锌型两种矿床类型。     

新疆巴喀勒萨依地区含铜砂岩及其铜矿床特征

近年来在新疆巴喀勒萨依地区发现一套含少量火山碎屑岩的含铜砂岩地层,由于该地层位于近东西向的断裂夹块中,其含矿层位的确定就成了难题。在该地层中发现了一些腕足类、珊瑚、腹足类、植物化石,经中国科学院南京地质古生物研究所鉴定,时代属晚石炭世晚期。介绍了巴喀勒萨依地区晚石炭世伊什基里克组含铜砂岩剖面及铜矿特征,并获得铜资源量19 797 t,银铜资源量371 t,提出了该区铜、银富集在红色含铜砂岩中有机质聚集处的新观点。     

K/T界线铂族元素丰度异常与地外撞击事件

遍布全球的Ｋ／Ｔ界线粘土层不仅存在着铱的丰度异常,其它铂族元素的含量也异常高,并且基本上保持着类似与地外物质中的丰度分布模式,实验表明,在粘土层中铂族元素主要呈可交换离子相和难溶金属相的形式存在在,而在硫化物和硅酸盐相中的含量却很低,这与铂族元素来源于地外物体撞击的成因解释是一致的。
