Characteristics of convection and overshooting in RGB and AGB stars

Based on the turbulent convection model (TCM) of Li & Yang, we have studied the characteristics of turbulent convection in the envelopes of 2 and 5M⊙ stars at the red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch phases. The TCM has been successfully applied over the entire convective envelopes, including the convective unstable zone and the overshooting regions. We find that the convective motions become progressively stronger when the stellar models are located farther up along the Hayashi line. In the convect...

This paper presents numerical investigation on the ore-forming fluid migration driven by tectonic deformation and thermally-induced buoyancy force in the Chanziping ore district in South China. A series of numerical scenarios are considered to examine the effect of meteoric water precipitation, the dip angle of the faults, unconformity surface, and thermal input on the ore genesis. Our computations reveal that the downward basinal fluid flow driven by extensional stress mixes with the upward basal fluid driven by the thermal input from depth at the junction of two faults at a temperature of about 200 C, triggering the precipitation of the Chanziping uranium deposit.     

Numerical modelling of deep sea air-lift

Deep sea air-lifting of solid particles from depth of 1600 m is simulated with a mathematical model of the three-phase flow in an upward pipe. The computations are carried out for an axisymmetric domain in a transient way. Phase distributions, pressure and velocity profiles together with flow rates for all phases are presented and analysed. The influence of the pipe diameter on the air-lift efficiency was studied for air-lift pipes of different lengths and found to be significant. The lifting efficiency increases with the increase of the pipe diameter due to the reduction of the wall friction influence on the flow. In addition, the efficiency also increases with the increase of the solid particles volume fraction at the inlet. The presented numerical model can be utilized during various stages of the design of the air-lift pumps to help answer fundamental questions on the process, and during their operation to select optimal process parameters and to address possible problems.     

深反射地震揭示喜马拉雅地区地壳上地幔的复杂结构

报告了中、美两国在喜马拉雅山区进行的第一次深反射地震试验的结果．试验剖面南起喜马拉雅山山脊南亚东县的帕里镇,向北穿过喜马拉雅山脊的荡拉,到达康马南的萨马达．剖面长约１００ｋｍ．共中心点（ＣＭＰ）叠加剖面上显示出：１．在地壳中部有一强反射带,向北缓倾斜下去,延长达１００ｋｍ以上．它可能代表了一个活动的逆冲断裂或是一条巨大的拆离带,印度地壳整体或下地壳沿此拆离层俯冲到藏南之下．２．上部地壳的反射很丰富,显示了上地壳存在着大规模的叠瓦状结构．３．下地壳的反射同相轴呈现短而有规律的分布,显示了塑性流变特征．４．在测线南部莫霍反射明显,深度达７２－７５ｋｍ．发现南部有双莫霍层的存在．５．试验中还取得莫霍层下面３２,３８,４８ｓ等双程走时的多条反射,向北倾斜,反射同相轴延续较长,信息丰富,反映了上地幔的成层结构和变形特征．这些结果对印度大陆地壳整体或其下地壳俯冲到藏南特提斯喜马拉雅地壳之下,并导致西藏南端地壳增厚的观点,给予了实质性的支持．     

基于深度学习的2D-3D地下密度异常体反演方法

地下密度异常体反演需要由二维数据反演三维结果,为了高效、高精度地反演地下异常体的位置及密度信息,本文提出2D-3D InvNet深度学习反演方法.方法的编-解码器结构,在编码阶段利用二维卷积网络结构提取地表重力异常及重力梯度异常数据信息,解码阶段利用三维卷积网络结构恢复异常体地下形态,实现了二维和三维网络结构的结合.为了精确地反演异常体密度,提出利用加权均方误差（WtdMSE）作为损失函数,同时为了更好地评估反演结果,引入核密度函数作为评价手段.与均方误差（MSE）相比,利用WtdMSE作为损失函数对异常体密度的反演结果更为准确,异常体所在区域的密度误差减少50%以上.对理论样本的反演结果表明,2D-3D InvNet在准确反演异常体地下位置的同时,也能给出准确的密度信息.应用此方法对西澳大利亚Kauring地区实测数据进行反演,我们成功获得了此区域地下异常体的密度分布.理论与实际应用结果表明,2D-3D InvNet深度学习方法稳定且具有较强的泛化性能,能在无需规定限制条件的情况下快速获得准确的反演结果.

     

福州盆地及其周围地区地壳深部结构与构造的初步研究

1986—1988年,福建省地震局在福州盆地及其周围地区完成了五条地震测深剖面:宁德—永春剖面;洪懒—宁德剖面;莲峰—福州（尚干）剖面;南平—永泰—平潭非纵剖面;并在宁德—古田—嵩口首次试验扇形剖面观测系统,结果表明,扇形剖面对确定断裂是有效的. 根据对地震波走时的正、反演计算,用理论地震图和射线追踪方法进一步修改和完善,得到了福州盆地及其周围地区地壳深部为高、低速相间的速度分布特征.地壳介质速度为6.40km/s,在中地壳普遍发育一层速度为5.80—5.90 km/s、厚度约5.0 km的低速层.Moho面深度30—33 km,福州盆地为一Moho面隆起区,隆起幅度达3.0 km.北西向断裂发育,其中,闽江断裂在纵剖面和扇形剖面均有明显的反映,并切割到Moho面2.0—3.0 km. 反射波谱频方法计算得到福州盆地地壳Q值仅120—150,比邻近地区明显偏低,中地壳低速层Q值为40—80,是一典型的低速—高导—低Q（高衰减）结构层,此层上界面埋深14—15 km,与居里面埋深较一致.这些结果为福州地区的地热资源远景预测和开发提供了地壳深部结构和某些地球物理场背景.     

A Note on the Mixing Length Theory and Massive Star Evolution

1 INTRODUCTIONThe mixing length theory (MLT) for stellar convection originally developed by Vitense(1953, 1958) has been the most popularly used local convection theory in the studies of stellarstructure and evolution. The theory was later modified and revised by many investigators,who suggested some different expressions. In fact, MLT is not a real hydrodynamic theory,rather, it is a simple "ballistic" theory which traces the motion of imaginary convective elements. In reality j stell…     

两种地幔对流模式下俯冲带的热结构

根据准动力学计算方案,通过采用等效热源和等效热传导系数的方法,用有限元法计算了不同俯冲角度,而俯冲速度为８ｃｍ／ａ、年龄为１００Ｍａ的俯冲带在稳定俯冲状态的热结构．计算结果表明俯冲带在接近６７０ｋｍ间断面的最低温度可达到１１００℃．全地幔对流模式热结构的计算结果表明６７０ｋｍ间断面以下可存在最低温度达１０００℃的低温区,相应于有０．７％—３．０％的Ｐ波低速异常存在．双层地幔对流模式表明,在６７０ｋｍ间断面以上可有与周围地幔相差约４００℃的水平舌状低温区存在,相应于０．５％—１．４％的Ｐ波低速异常．
