Stabilization of Bottom Hole Temperature With Finite Circulation Time and Fluid Flow

As an alternative to finite element or finite difference modelling, analytical solutions are derived by the method of Laplace transformation and numerical results obtained for several models of the bottom hole temperature stabilization. Included in the models are the finite circulation time, the thermal property contrast between the borehole mud and the surrounding formation, and the presence of radial or lateral fluid flow in the formation, all of which are found to have significant effects on the dissipation of the thermal disturbance induced by drilling.
The mud circulation is considered to have the effect of either maintaining the borehole mud at a constant temperature or supplying a constant amount of heat per unit length per unit time to the borehole. For small circulation times, the former reduces to the 'zero circulation' model in which the mud circulation creates an instantaneous temperature anomaly at the hole bottom; for small borehole radii, the latter reduces to the line source model and the traditional 'Homer plot'.
For typical drilling operations in which the bottom hole temperatures are measured several hours to several tens of hours after the hole is shut in, the new models generally predict higher equilibrium formation temperatures than does the Horner plot. However, predictions from the various models converge if the BHTs are taken after the hole has been shut in for a period which is greater than about five times the circulation period.     

基于遥感影像的于田绿洲空间热环境分布特征

以新疆于田绿洲为例,以Landsat TM/ETM+为基础数据源,利用空间分析方法、3S技术方法等定量分析于田绿洲平均温度的分布特征,得出地表温度受下垫面类型的影响比较明显,地表土地类型的分布基本决定地温的总体分布;通过对温度相异图的研究,发现温度的分布同时也受到不同土地利用类型空间分布的影响;对克里雅河下游河段进行温度变化的趋势分析,得出在南北方向上,没有温度变化趋势,而在东西方向上,温度变化比较明显。同时也说明克里雅河对其河道两边的影响范围十分有限。     

The formation of wind curl in the marine atmosphere boundary layer over the East China Sea Kuroshio in spring

Various data are used to investigate the characteristics of the surface wind field and rainfall on the East China Sea Kuroshio (ESK) in March and April, 2011. In March, the wind speed maximum shows over the ESK front (ESKF) in the 10 meter wind field, which agrees with the thermal wind effect. A wind curl center is generated on the warm flank of the ESKF. The winds are much weaker in April, so is the wind curl. A rainband exists over the ESKF in both the months. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used for further researches. The winds on the top of the marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL) indicate that in March, a positive wind curl is generated in the whole MABL over the warm flank of the ESKF. The thermal wind effect forced by the strong SST gradient overlying the background wind leads to strong surface northeasterly winds on the ESKF, and a positive shearing vorticity is created over the warm flank of the ESKF to generate wind curl. In the smoothed sea surface temperature experiment, the presence of the ESKF is responsible for the strong northeast winds in the ESKF, and essential for the distribution of the rainfall centers in March, which confirms the mechanism above. The same simulation is made for April, 2011, and the responses from the MABL become weak. The low background wind speed weakens the effect of the thermal wind, thus no strong Ekman pumping is helpful for precipitation. There is no big difference in rainfall between the control run and the smooth SST run. Decomposition of the wind vector shows that local wind acceleration induced by the thermal wind effect along with the variations in wind direction is responsible for the pronounced wind curl/divergence over the ESKF.     

武汉城市扩张对热场时空演变的影响

深入分析城市扩张对城市热场时空分布及演变的影响机制,对探求城市热岛效应缓解对策、改善城市生态环境质量意义重大。基于1987年、1996年、2007年和2013年的Landsat影像反演武汉主城区地表温度、提取不透水面值,定量研究两者的关系,探讨城市建设对城市热场空间分布的影响;采用不透水面和正规化地表温度差值影像动态定量1987-2013年武汉城市扩张对热场时空演变的影响机制。结果表明：① 1987-2013年,武汉不透水面不断增加,城市建设强度加强,城市扩张明显,但是不同时期表现出不同的扩张方向、范围和模式。② 城市热岛效应主要发生在相应时期的建成区和武钢工业区,而城市大型水体则表现出明显的“冷廊效应”和“冷岛效应”;1987-1996年、1996-2007年和2007-2013年热状况恶化面积分别为382.0 km²、305.1 km²和105.7 km²,热状况总体呈现恶化趋势。③ 不透水面指数能较好地解释热场空间的异质性,两者回归方程的系数为0.751~0.923,不透水面值每增加0.1,正规化地表温度值会增加0.01~0.02。④ 城市热状况变化从改良极显著、改良较显著、无变化、恶化较显著到恶化极显著,对应的不透水面差值由小到大,城市扩张和城市建设强度加大对恶化城市热环境和加剧城市热岛扩展作用明显。     

中国南海海表面温度与对流关系初探

利用1985年1月～2009年7月月平均海表面温度(SST)和代表局地对流的对外长波辐射(OLR)资料,讨论中国南海海表面温度与局地对流之间的关系。结果显示,在气候平均意义下,南海对流增强所需的SST阈值为27℃,即当SST低于27℃时,南海OLR值高于240 W/m2,并且随SST的升高变化不大;SST超过27℃后,随着SST的升高,OLR迅速减小,对流强度不断增强。与一般热带海洋不同之处在于SST超过29.5℃后对流仍加强。冬季风阶段(10月～次年4月)SST值较低,对流受到抑制,即使在3、4月SST高于27℃时对流强度仍较弱;5月为南海夏季风爆发月,SST较4月仅升高1℃,但对流强度显著增强;夏季风阶段(6～9月)南海的高温暖水使对流在平均意义上维持高值,但对流的变化与局地SST变化之间的关系不明显。     

Stratified convection with multiple states

A simplified box model of the cooling of a salt-stratified ocean is analyzed analytically and numerically. A large isothermal basin of salt water has a layer of fresh water at the surface. Beside this is a small basin, cooled from above and connected to the large basin by horizontal tubes at the top, middle and bottom. For small cooling rate, fresh water enters the small basin, is cooled and leaves through the middle tube. For greater cooling rate, the fresh water leaves the small basin through the middle and bottom tube. If the top tube is smaller than the deeper tubes and the fresh water layer is sufficiently shallow, flow in the middle tube reverses at a critical cooling rate. In this case, a mixture of salt and fresh water is cooled and leaves the bottom tube. Increased cooling produces much greater flow rate; consequentially temperature increases rather than decreases in the small basin. A relaxation heat flow condition results in multiple equilibria. One of the stable modes has fresh surface water descending in the small basin and flowing out through the middle and bottom tube. The other has a greater rate of flow of both fresh and salty water (through the middle tube) into the basin with the flow of mixed salty water out of the bottom tube. Implications for deep convection in the ocean are discussed.
