There are various types of the windblown sediment traps developed for wind tunnel and field studies. One of the main supports
expected from these traps is in measuring surface dust concentrations to appropriately derive flux equations. The measurement
performance and accuracy of a trap is very important and depends strictly upon the physical characteristics and the behaviors
of dust grains with air flows. This paper presents the measurement results of static pressure distribution (SPD) of wind flow
around Vaseline-coated slide (VCS) catchers with an aim of finding out whether or not particle trapping efficiency (η) of
the VCS is related to the SPD. The SPD was evaluated by a wind reduction coefficient (R
c) in a series of wind tunnel experiments with different VCS settings which have different attachment configurations on a pole.
Three VCS configurations were considered: a configuration on a circular plastic pole (CPP) and two configurations on wooden
square poles (WSP1 and WSP2, respectively). Thus, the primary contribution of this work was to experimentally analyze the effect of the different attachment
configurations on the SPD, and the secondary objective was to determine the effect of the SPD on the η. It was shown that
spatial correlation and spatial pattern of the R
c were different in the surrounding area of each configuration, and ANOVA and DUNCAN tests indicated that η(s) of WSP1, WSP2, and CPP were different at the significant level of P ≤ 0.05 with the mean of 0.94 ± 0.09, 0.63 ± 0.14, and 1.13 ± 0.07, respectively. Additionally, the amount of PM20, PM40, PM60, PM80, and PM100 trapped by the configurations of WSP1, WSP2, and CPP considerably varied depending upon the particular aerodynamic circumstances associated with every configuration. 相似文献

The universal soil loss equation (USLE) is an erosion model to estimate average soil loss that would generally result from
splash, sheet, and rill erosion from agricultural plots. Recently, use of USLE has been extended as a useful tool predicting
soil losses and planning control practices by the effective integration of the GIS-based procedures to estimate the factor
values on a grid cell basis. This study was performed for five different lands uses of Indağı Mountain Pass, Cankırı to predict
the soil erosion risk by the USLE/GIS methodology for planning conservation measures in the site. Of the USLE factors, rainfall-runoff
erosivity factor (USLE-R) and topographic factor (USLE-LS) were greatly involved in GIS. These were surfaced by correcting
USLE-R site-specifically using DEM and climatic data and by evaluating USLE-LS by the flow accumulation tool using DEM and
watershed delineation tool to consider the topographical and hydrological effects on the soil loss. The study assessed the
soil erodibility factor (USLE-K) by randomly sampled field properties by geostatistical analysis. Crop management factor for
different land-use/land cover type and land use (USLE-C) was assigned to the numerical values from crop and flora type, canopy
and density of five different land uses, which are plantation, recreational land, cropland, forest and grassland, by means
of reclassifying digital land use map available for the site. Support practice factor (USLE-P) was taken as a unit assuming
no erosion control practices. USLE/GIS technology together with the geostatistics combined these major erosion factors to
predict average soil loss per unit area per unit time. Resulting soil loss map revealed that spatial average soil loss in
terms of the land uses were 1.99, 1.29, 1.21, 1.20, 0.89 t ha−1 year−1 for the cropland, grassland, recreation, plantation and forest, respectively. Since the rate of soil formation was expected
to be so slow in Central Anatolia of Turkey and any soil loss of more than 1 ton ha−1 year−1 over 50–100 years was considered as irreversible for this region, soil erosion in the Indağı Mountain Pass, to the great
extent, attained the irreversible state, and these findings should be very useful to take mitigation measures in the site. 相似文献

This paper is concerned with the modeling of particle transport at the Safaniya sea area. It presents the modeling aspects of a marine environment impact study at the Safaniya offshore facility. The offshore facility has continuous discharges of hypochlorite concentration, sanitary waste water, oily water, brine, and sea cooling water. The dispersion of pollutants in the Safaniya sea area is analyzed with the aid of a particle dispersion model. The dispersion of a continuous discharge from the offshore platform is simulated for typical meteorological conditions during the seasons of winter, spring, summer, and fall. Maximum average pollutant concentrations are obtained at various depths. A time series of pollutant concentration near the location of the discharge is constructed. The sea areas affected by the discharge are computed. The dispersion of a hypochlorite concentrate with concentration of 2 ppm is analyzed. Results indicate that the average chlorine concentration has a maximum of 0.27 × 10−2 ppm. 相似文献

Modeling aggregate size distribution of eroded sediment resulting from rain-splash and raindrop impacted flow processes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Soil susceptibility to detachment and transport sub-processes of erosion is generally controled by the aggregate breakdown mechanism. Measuring particle size and aggregation to the estimate erodibility potential of soils is important under erosive rainfall conditions. The Aggregate Size Distribution (ASD) is one of the most important determinants of soil structure along with soil organic matter content for describing the efficiency of applied, sustainable management strategies. This study aimed to compare the performances of three different aggregate size distribution models to predict the characteristic aggregate size parameter (median diameter, D50) for eroded sediment from interrill erosion processes of Rain- Splash Transport (RST) and Raindrop Impacted Flow Transport (RIFT). The ASDs of 1143 collected sediment samples from the RST and RIFT processes were measured and modeled by the Log-normal, Fractal, and Weibull approaches. The D50 value, as a characteristic parameter for aggregate size distributions, derived from the cumulative ASD curve was compared for soils from different land use types and different slope and rainfall intensity conditions. The performance of each model was evaluated using the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Coefficient of Determination (R^2). The Weibull approach was the most accurate model showing the best fit with the lowest MSE values (0.0002 ≤MSE≤ 0.0048) and having the greatest R2 values (0.936≤ R^2≤ 0.998) when compared with the Log-normal and Fractal models. Herewith, for semi-arid land use and soil, specific shape and scale parameters for the Weibull distribution, the respective ASDs were successfully re-generated for modeling the eroded sediment of the simulated RST and RIFT interill processes. 相似文献

As a result of urbanization all over the world, complicated transportation system have been constructed to supply the need of the public transport. Metro tunnel is the most important effective solution method for public transportation. However, the surface settlement around the metro line in urban areas should be within the allowable limits and it should not damage nearby structures. The tunnel excavation and the support system have to provide a reliable working condition for the workers and the people living along the metro line. Although New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) is a very useful method in tunnel excavation, it may be insufficient in weak rock condition. Umbrella Arch Method (UAM) has been recently a viable alternative in various important areas. In this paper, the results of 3-D numerical modeling of surface settlement at the transition zone in Istanbul Metro excavated by NATM and UAM are presented by using a finite difference code called FLAC3D. The results showed that umbrella arch pipe is very effective to minimize the surface settlement. According to the actual measurement result and numerical modeling result, umbrella arch pipe reduced the surface settlement by 71% and 63%, respectively. In addition, the numerical modeling result represented 79.5% of the actual value obtained from in situ for NATM region and 86.0% of in situ value for UAM region. 相似文献

The trap efficiency of a catcher in wind erosion measurements plays a significant role, and in many cases suspension trap
efficiencies at high wind velocities are still unknown. The sediment trap efficiency generally changes with particles size
and with wind speed. In this study, the efficiency of Vaseline Slide (VS) and Modified Wilson and Cooke (MWAC) catchers were
determined with different sand particle sizes (<50, <75, 50–75, 200–400, and 400–500 μm) at a fixed wind speed (13.3 ms−1) and with different soil textures at different wind velocities (10.3, 12.3, and 14.3 ms−1) in the wind tunnel of the International Center for Eremology (ICE), Ghent University, Belgium. The traps were placed at
different heights (4, 6.5, 13, 20, 120, and 192 cm for VS and 1.5, 3, 5, 8, 11, and 30 cm for MWAC) to catch saltating and
suspended sediments in a 12-m long, 1.2-m wide and 3.2-m high working section of the wind tunnel. In the sand particle experiments,
the efficiency of the VS catcher was 92% for particles smaller than 50 μm and decreased with increasing particles size, falling
to 2.2% for 400–500 μm particle size at 13.4 ms−1. However, the MWAC’s efficiency was 0% for particles smaller than 50 μm and increased with increasing particle size to 69.5%
at 400–500 μm. In the experiments with different soil textures, the efficiency of each catcher significantly changed with
soil and with wind speed. It also considerably varied with the catchers: for instance, for sand (S), the MWAC efficiency was
very high (67.4, 113.4, and 90.5% at 10.3, 12.3, and 14.4 ms−1, respectively) while the efficiency of VS was relatively very low (5.2, 4.4, and 1.9% at 10.3, 12.3, and 14.4 ms−1, respectively). Results indicated that the efficiency depends critically on the particle size, type of catcher, and wind
speed, and these could be helpful to increase the robustness of wind erosion measurements. 相似文献

Interoperability is becoming essential for the today’s geographic information systems. Geographic information is usually available as datasets stored in databases and accessible via GIS. However, these information sources are increasingly heterogeneous and show differences in data formats, database schema and object concepts. To satisfy the increased demand for the use and sharing of geographic data in common applications, considering the heterogeneity and the methods to support interoperability are required by the GIS community. The implementation of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) such as the European INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) enables accessibility and the sharing of geographic data and interoperability among the systems. In addition to this, traditional GIS systems perform spatial queries using a keyword-based method. However, this approach remains incapable of fully expressing the users' needs due to a lack of geographic concepts (semantics) in the dataset. Different terms may refer to similar concepts, while the same terms may refer to different concepts. This causes semantic heterogeneity in the dataset. In this context, the most promising approach is the implementation of geospatial semantics by means of ontology in the geospatial dataset to overcome this kind of ambiguity. The aim of this research is to investigate the implementation of INSPIRE as a SDI standard and the use of Semantic Technology to empower the traditional GIS approach. In this regard, a public transportation geoportal has been developed for the experimental investigation which uses a revised sample transportation data complaint with the INSPIRE Transport Network Data Theme and a developed Transportation Ontology Domain, including concepts, relationships and individuals to provide a semantic spatial search. 相似文献

In a processing plant, natural stone can be cut by methods such as circular sawing (CS), frame sawing (FS), water jet cutting (WJC) and abrasive water jet cutting (AWJC). The efficiency of cutting systems can be compared using various parameters. In this study, the specific energy values were determined and compared to evaluate the efficiency of rock-cutting methods. Rock-cutting experiments were performed on 12 different types of rock samples using a circular sawing machine and an AWJC machine. The experimental results showed that the specific energy values in AWJC were generally higher than in CS. In addition, the relationships between specific energy values and rock properties were explained in this study. The Shore hardness and abrasion resistance were found to be strongly related to the specific energy values, and according to these parameters prediction charts of specific energy values were created. 相似文献

The vector physics of wind‐driven rain (WDR) differs from that of wind‐free rain, and the interrill soil detachment equations in the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model were not originally developed to deal with this phenomenon. This article provides an evaluation of the performance of the interrill component of the WEPP model for WDR events. The interrill delivery rates were measured in the wind tunnel facility of the International Center for Eremology (ICE), Ghent University, Belgium with an experimental setup to study different raindrop impact velocity vectors. Synchronized wind and rain simulations with wind velocities of 6, 10 and 14 m s–1 were applied to a test surface placed on windward and leeward slopes of 7, 15 and 20%. Since both rainfall intensity and raindrop impact velocity varied greatly depending on differences in the horizontal wind velocity under WDRs, the resultant kinetic energy flux (KEr, in J m–2 s–1) was initially used in place of the WEPP model intensity term in order to incorporate the effect of wind on impact velocity and frequency of raindrops. However, our results showed only minor improvement in the model predictions. For all research data, the model Coefficients of Determination (r2) were 0·63 and 0·71, when using the WEPP and the KEr approaches, respectively. Alternately, integrating the angle of rain incidence into the model by vectorally partitioning normal kinetic energy flux (KErn, in J m–2 s–1) from the KEr greatly improved the model's ability to estimate the interrill sediment delivery rates (r2 = 0·91). This finding suggested that along with the fall trajectory of wind‐driven raindrops with a given frequency, raindrop velocity and direction at the point of impact onto the soil surface provided sufficient physical information to improve WEPP sediment delivery rate predictions under WDR.

In highlands of semiarid Turkey, ecosystems have been significantly transformed through human actions, and today changes are
taking place very rapidly, causing harmful consequences such as soil degradation. This paper examines two neighboring land
use types in Indagi Mountain Pass, Cankiri, Turkey, to determine effects of the conversion of Blackpine (Pinus nigra Arn. subsp. pallasiana) plantation from grassland 40 years ago on soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil erodibility (USLE-K). For this purpose, a total
of 302 disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were taken at irregular intervals from two sites and from two soil depths of
0–10 cm (D1) and 10–20 cm (D2). In terms of SOC, conversion did not make any statistical difference between grassland and plantation; however, there were
statistically significant differences with soil depth within each land use, and SOC contents significantly decreased with
the soil depth (P < 0.05) and mostly accumulated in D1. SOC values were 2.4 and 1.8% for grassland and 2.8 and 1.6% for plantation, respectively, at D1 and D2. USLE-K values also statistically differed significantly with the land use, and in contrast to the statistics of SOC, there
was no change in USLE-K with the soil depth. Since USLE-K was estimated using SOC, hydraulic conductivity (HC) and soil textural
composition––sand (S), silt (Si), and clay (C) contents of soils––as well as SOC did not change with the land use, we ascribed
the changes of USLE-K with the land uses to the differences in the HC as strongly affected by the interactions between SOC
and contents of S, Si, and C. On an average, the soil of the grassland (USLE-K = 0.161 t ha h ha−1 MJ−1 mm−1) was more erodible than those of the plantation (USLE-K = 0.126 t ha h ha−1 MJ−1 mm−1). Additionally, topographic factors, such as aspect and slope, were statistically effective on spatial distribution of the
USLE-K and SOC. 相似文献
