Influence of diversion angle on water and sediment flow into diversion channel

Accumulation of the sediment in the stream of the diversion channels adversely affects its operational systems. Diversion channels are often constructed perpendicular to the main river. In this study, the water flow and sediment transport in the diversion channel with different angles were investigated in an attempt to maximize water discharge and minimize sediment discharge. A physical model with movable bed was used to simulate water and sediment flow with five diversion angles (θ) between (30°–90°). Moreover, three bed width ratios (B_r) (the relation between diversion to main channel bed width) between 30% and 50% and five total discharges between (7.25 L/s to 12.25 L/s) were considered for each case of (θ). The results showed, up to 10%, increasing in proportion discharge ratios for 30 and 45 diversion angles compared with 90° diversion angle. The results also showed that the lowest diversion sediment concentration was provided by the (θ) of 30°. Across all scenarios, the average proportion concentration reduction was 64%, compared with 90° diversion angle. Closer observation of the diversion system mechanism confirmed that decreased (θ) result in decreased sediment concentrations in the diversion channels. In conclusion, the diversion channel water and sediment discharge could be effectively managed by changing the (θ) to 30° or 45° instead of 90°.     

Thermochronology and exhumation rates of granitic intrusions at Mesa Central,Mexico

ABSTRACT

The Mesa Central of Mexico (MC) is an elevated plateau located 2000 m above sea level in central Mexico, where intrusions outcrop that register the history of exhumation-erosion occurring during the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene. The tectonic history of the region records formation of the Late Cretaceous-Paleogene ‘Mexican orogen’; this was followed by extension of the entire region and several plutons were then exhumed. The age and magnitude of the crustal uplift and erosion occurring during exhumation has not been addressed to date. Therefore, this study reports the crystallization and cooling ages of two plutons, the Tesorera Granodiorite and the Comanja Granite, and estimates their emplacement depths. Based on these data, the exhumation age of the Tesorera Granodiorite is estimated to be between ~73 Ma and ~63 Ma at an exhumation rate of ~528 m/m. y. and that of the Comanja Granite is 52 Ma and 48 Ma at an exhumation rate of ~2500 m/m. y. Exhumation-erosion event of the Tesorera Granodiorite was located on the trace of the San Luis-Tepehuanes Fault System and that of the Comanja Granite on the a trace of the El Bajío Fault System. Furthermore, the high exhumation rate in the Comanja Granite suggests that gravitational collapse played an important role during exhumation.

推移质翻越低坝输移特性的试验研究

对于山区河流低坝而言,平时淤积在坝前的推移质粗沙可能会在洪水期集中翻越坝顶,形成高强度输沙。本文开展水槽试验,研究推移质粗沙自上游起动、推进、再翻越坝顶后向下游输移的过程,分析了输沙参数的变化特性及数理规律,描述了翻坝输沙模式及运动特征,揭示了输沙规律与河床形态之间的自然联系。取得如下认识:①输沙量随时间大致以幂函数规律增长。②低坝附近区域河床形态终将趋于稳定,上游和下游均形成相对稳定的曲面斜坡淤积体。③在不同的水流强度下推移质翻坝输移模式存在差异。对于一般水流强度工况,上游淤积体曲面斜坡表面泥沙颗粒以滚动或滑动模式起动,推移至接近坝顶位置时再跃移翻坝,后向下游输移;对于更高水流强度工况,后期的翻坝输沙模式可能发生显著转变,周期性边壁漩涡成为翻坝输沙的主要动力来源。

柞水银铅矿地表径流沉积物中污染物相态分析

采自柞水银铅矿地表径流６个沉积物样品,用连续提取法提取了金属元素的５种化学相态（可交换相、碳酸盐相,铁锰氧化物结合相,有机质－硫化物结合相及残渣相）,测定了各相中铜铅锌含量,分析了其分布特征。结果表明,在河流沉积物中,铜主要以残渣相和有机质相存在,铅、锌主要为铁锰水合氧化物相和碳酸盐相。在此基础上,对矿山开采中环境影响进行了讨论。     

斑节对虾苗和刀额新对虾苗对低盐度适应力的研究

取体长为11mm的斑节对虾苗和刀额新对虾苗体长为6．1mm,经暂养数天后,分别在不同盐度的水中进行试验。结果表明,这两种虾苗适应低盐度十分广泛。刀额新对虾苗可比斑节对虾苗适应更低的盐度。斑节对虾苗在从盐度23．18直接降至盐度6．21时,成活率仍可达70％。当虾苗饲养在盐度18．54时,直接放水至海水盐度5．1,成活率为85％。当虾苗在从盐度25．13逐渐淡化到盐度1时,成活率仍有20％～40％。但是,考虑到体重的增重率,虾苗最佳饲养盐度为13．8。刀额新对虾苗从盐度23．18的海水直接放入盐度2以下的海水中,成活率仍有56．7％～63．3％。如果逐渐淡化海水,可在盐度＜2时正常生长。在盐度8．96左右饲养,其体重增重率最佳。上述这两种虾适于河口低盐度地区养殖。在有条件的养成场适当降低盐度,有利其生长。     

塔里木盆地沉积剥蚀过程与油气关系

塔里木盆地典型井的周期分析表明,塔里木盆地在其地质历史时期100Ma左右的周期是很明显的,自寒武纪以来共经历了4个完整的周期,每一完整周期都由正相位和负相位两个半周期所组成。而第三纪为第5个周期的正相位阶段。该周期控制了盆地内的沉积与剥蚀的过程及成藏旋回。对沉积与剥蚀过程的控制作用表现在周期波正相位和负相位分别对应于沉积期和剥蚀期,这在地质年代序列中表现为沉积与间断的互为消长的演化进程。对食油气系统的控制作用表现在:第1个周期波构成以早古生代地层为主体的含油气系统,第2个周期波至第4个周期波构成以晚古生代至中生代地层为主体的含油气系统,第5个周期的正相位阶段构成以第三纪地层为主体的含油气系统。     

冻结粉土动强度的荷载效应及长期极限动强度

荷载效应包括速率效应和疲劳效应两部分．速率效应使冻土的动强度和退荷回弹动弹模随应变速率加快而提高;疲劳效应使冻土的动强度随振频增加而下降,但在低应变速率下却使动强度略有提高．在高应变速率下动强度大于静强度,在低应变速度下动强度小于静强度,其间存在一个临界应变速率．通过动强度－破坏振次关系,可确定长期极限动强度．     

基于土壤侵蚀遥感调查的河流输沙量的计算

河流泥沙来量的计算是工程水文计算的一个重要组成部分。有水文站观测资料的地方,输潲星的计算比较容易。而对于没有水文站分布或观测资料不足的边远地区,用常规无法计算出输沙星。
