Explicit solution of a free boundary problem for a nonlinear absorption model of mixed saturated-unsaturated flow

In wet soils, zones of saturation naturally develop in the vicinity of impermeable strata, surface ponds and subterranean cavities. Hydrology must be then concerned with transient flow through coexisting unsaturated and saturated zones. The models of advancing saturated zones necessarily involve a nonlinear free boundary problem.A closed-form analytic solution is presented for a nonlinear diffusion model under conditions of ponding at the surface. The soil water diffusivity is restricted to the special functional form D(θ) = a/(b − θ)², where θ is the water content field to be determined and a, b are positive constants. The explicit solution depends on a parameter C (determined by the data of the problem), according to two cases: 1 < C < C₁ or C ≥ C₁, where C₁ is a constant which is obtained as the unique solution of an equation. This result complements the study given in P. Broadbridge, Water Resources Research, 1990, 26, 2435–2443, in order to established when the explicit solution is available. The behavior of the bifurcation parameter C₁ as a function of the driving potential is studied with the corresponding limits for small and large values. Moreover, the sorptivity is proven to be continuously differentiable function of the variable C.

Prediction of overland flow and seepage zones associated with the interaction of multiple infiltration devices (cascading infiltration devices)

Infiltration devices are traditionally evaluated as standalone entities that do not interact with each other. A model is outlined that will allow interactions between proposed infiltration devices to be predicted prior to a development commencing. The model allows prediction of seepage into downslope devices and the assessment of the locations where the combined ground‐water mound will reach the surface and result in overland flow. The volume of overland flow discharged by the seepage zone may exceed the overland and piped flow received by the infiltration devices. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Does upward seepage of river water and storm water runoff determine water quality of urban drainage systems in lowland areas? A case study for the Rhine–Meuse delta

The water quality of urban drainage ditches in lowlands in the Rhine‐Meuse delta was analysed with principal component analysis (PCA) during a dry period and a rain storm, and related to the seepage of polluted river water and effective impervious area (EIA). This was done in order to test the hypothesis that seepage of river water and storm water runoff from impervious areas strongly determine the water quality of urban drainage systems along large lowland rivers. Our analysis revealed that upward seepage of groundwater originating from rivers Rhine and Meuse was positively correlated with nitrate, potassium, sodium and chloride and negatively correlated with alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and iron. EIA was correlated with very few environmental variables (i.e. phosphate, pH and iron in the dry period and iron during the rain storm). Nickel and zinc concentrations generally exceeded the maximum allowable concentrations (MAC), while lead and phosphorus concentrations were just above the nutrient standards and MAC in a few locations during the rain storm. To optimize water quality in urban water systems, attention should be paid to all sources of pollution and not only to EIA. The impact of local groundwater seepage originating from large rivers in lowlands on the chemistry of urban water systems is often underestimated and should be taken into account when assessing water quality and improving water quality status.

软土隧道盾构出洞灾害的渗流应力耦合分析

对盾构出洞口涌水涌砂灾害问题作了分析。利用Midas-GTS软件,建立了盾构出洞施工的有限元模型。考虑盾构出洞施工的渗流-应力耦合效应,研究了盾构工作井外加固土体前方高水位工况下,地下水绕加固土体下卧土层的渗流规律以及加固土体前方原状土的沉降规律。研究结果表明,在假定井外加固土体完全隔水情况下,洞门涌水涌砂灾害的发生与否受到土体加固长度、井外地下水等因素影响;土体加固长度的增加对工程安全有利,但成本较高;地下水位的降低能有效减小盾构出洞洞门涌水灾害的发生,需综合考虑工程安全性、经济性和工期等来确定合理的施工参数。

东营凹陷南斜坡金东—柳桥地区地表条件复杂,化探信号干扰强烈,造成假异常大面积出现。在对金东—柳桥地区油气化探数据中干扰类型识别的基础上,用Mallat小波分析法,发现分析尺度为3时的连续序列呈现出地表干扰信息,由此进行了地表干扰排除。经过封盖条件校正与异常识别,获得了该区油气化探异常。干扰排除后的异常与断层、圈闭及已发现的油气藏或油气显示相吻合,表明这些异常主要反映的是地下油气藏信息。
