APPLICATION OF SOME MECHANICAL CONCEPTS TO STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

This paper discusses some mechanical concepts that have been largely applied to structural geology and tectonics, and addresses the problems and misunderstandings in use of these mechanical terms. The purpose is to stimulate the interests for structural geologists in using the mechanical principles and methods correctly to solve the geodynamic problems.     

SARS疫情控制的模拟分析

应用系统动力学模型，定量地分析“早发现、早隔离、早治疗”措施，对于控制SARS疾病扩散与传播的重要性。结果表明，“得病后入院时间”与“隔离措施强度”对于SARS疫情态势发展，具有很大的敏感性与相关性，其中得病后的患者几时去医院治疗，对于疫情的控制具有更重要的意义。同时应用动力学模型，对北京的SARS疫情进行分时间段的模拟与SARS实施控制因素影响分析，结果表明，2003—04—20以后一段时间内实行的各种控制措施，以及5月1日—5月5日的长假对于北京SARS疫情的控制是非常有效的；而4月27日左右北京市社     

泰国三塔断裂活动性及其板缘动力学意义

通过对位于印度板块与欧亚板块碰撞带缅甸弧附近三塔断裂带活动性的野外考察研究，探讨了位于缅甸弧东侧的滇缅泰板缘地区现代构造与地震活动动力来源和空间不均匀性。指出印度板块与欧亚板块沿兴都库什弧的正面碰撞和青藏高原隆起导致的侧向挤出作用对滇缅泰板缘地区现代构造与地震活动的影响可能大于印度板块与欧亚板块沿缅甸弧的碰撞对上述地区的影响。     

利用地震层析成像数据计算地幔对流新模型的探讨

假设地幔地震层析成像数据对应的地幔横向不均匀结构是地幔热对流的结果. 将地震层析成像数据转化为地幔温度(或密度)不均匀分布，考虑热流体动力学的三个基本方程，顾及热输运方程中的非线性项，直接将地震层析成像转化的地幔温度不均匀分布作为内部荷载引入基本方程, 反演计算地幔对流. 本文在利用地震层析成像数据计算地幔对流模型的新理论和方法的基础上，用SH12WM13地震层析成像模型数据，计算了全球地幔对流格局. 结果表明，对流格局不仅依赖地震层析成像数据，而且在很大程度上受地幔动力学框架、热动力参数和边界条件的所确定的系统响应函数的影响. 显示了地幔中复杂的对流格局，特别是区域性层状对流以及多层对流环可能在地幔中存在的现象.     

Numerical Simulation of Drag Partition over Rough Surfaces

We present a numerical simulation of drag partition over rough surfaces. A computational fluid dynamics model is applied with high resolution to simulatingturbulent flows over arrays of roughness elements positioned on asmooth surface. The skin drag on the surface and the pressure drag on the roughnesselements are computed. The simulated drag partition compares well with wind-tunnelmeasurements and theoretical estimates for similar rough surfaces. This confirms that the computational approach offers an alternative to wind-tunnel and field experiments in studying drag and drag partition. The model is then applied to studying drag partition over rough surfaces with various roughness configurations. It is shown that drag partition depends not only on the magnitude of the roughness frontal area but also on the sizes and arrangement of roughness elements, because (1) the pressure drag coefficient is sensitive to roughness-element dimensions and (2) the arragement of roughness elements lead to different interferences of turbulent wakes. The impact ofthe latter factor is not insignificant.     

人地系统动力学研究中的几个问题

人地系统动力学研究是当前地理学研究的最主要领域，应从人的生存和发展需要出发，围绕人类活动的环境效应和人地协调发展主线选择研究对象，界定研究内容，采用物质能量守恒分析和统计分析相结合的方法，加强对人地相互作用机制的研究。     

Small-scale vegetation dynamics in semi-arid steppe in Inner Mongolia

Small-scale vegetation dynamics were followed for ecotones and in uniform stands inArtemisia-dominated steppe vegetation under grazing and when recovering from heavy grazing. Species composition was followed annually for 5 years in 1 m²and 0·25 m²plots for (1) presence–absence; (2) density; and (3) biomass.More rapid vegetation dynamics, in terms of change of type of vegetation and distance moved in DCA species space between sampling occasions, were observed in smaller plots and in early seral stages, where species were few and alpha diversity low. Only the plots recently protected from grazing showed a directional vegetation change; those protected for more than 3 years and those under continued grazing showed, at this scale, non-directional dynamics.     

新疆阿合勒－冲乎尔地区泥盆纪相动力学研究

阿合勒－冲乎尔火山沉积盆地是一个以火山岩并伴有陆源和内源沉积物的堆积场所，即该区泥盆纪地层是以事件作用的产物为其主要成分特点。显然，对其古地理的恢复、相的划分采用传统的相序分析方法是不合适的。作者认为要阐明该区泥盆纪的古地理面貌，必须在区域地层研究基础上，综合分析各种相标志和沉积物的特点，寻求它们的物理成因和地质成因解。在这一过程中，相的动力学分析显得尤为重要。本文在上述学术思想指导下，把本区泥盆纪的相分为成因相和环境相两大类，并对其中的微相进行了详细的阐述，从而为把沉积学的原理和方法应用了火山岩的搬运机制和堆积环境研究中提供了先期研究实例，同时为研究和恢复该区以至整个新疆北部泥盆纪的古地理格局打下了坚实的基础。
