The new wave overtopping database for coastal structures

Significant effort has been made to generate a homogeneous database on wave overtopping consisting of more than 10,000 irregular wave overtopping tests from more than 160 independent projects or test series, each described by means of 31 parameters. Many coastal structures, including dikes, rubble mound breakwaters, berm breakwaters, caisson structures and combinations have been considered and have been schematised for inclusion in the database. All these overtopping tests are represented by over 300,000 numbers in the database.

China Digital Ocean Prototype System

Abstract

Digital Ocean is a new research domain of Digital Earth. Because of the spatio-temporal, three-dimensional (3D) and intrinsically dynamic nature of ocean data, it is more difficult to make a breakthrough in this domain. The construction of the China Digital Ocean Prototype System (CDOPS) pushes Digital Ocean a step forward from its operation as a mere concept to its achievement as a realistic system. In this paper, the technical framework of the CDOPS is discussed, including its data, function, and application layers. Then, two key technologies are studied in detail that will enable the construction of the 3D ocean environment and the visualization of the ocean model output data. Practical demonstrations show that the CDOPS provides a technical reference for the development of Digital Ocean. This paper is based on an ongoing research project of the development of CDOPS that aims at the facilitation, integration, sharing, accessing, visualization, and use of the ocean data and model computing data from the Digital Earth perspective.     

Quantification of spatial gradation of slope positions

Transition between slope positions (e.g., ridge, shoulder slope, back slope, foot slope, and valley) is often gradual. Quantification of spatial transitions or spatial gradations between slope positions can increase the accuracy of terrain parameterization for geographical or ecological modeling, especially for digital soil mapping at a fine scale. Current models for characterizing the spatial gradation of slope positions based on a gridded DEM either focus solely on the parameter space or depend on too many rules defined by topographic attributes, which makes such approaches impractical. The typical locations of a slope position contain the characteristics of the slope position in both parameter space and spatial context. Thus, the spatial gradation of slope positions can be quantified by comparing terrain characteristics (spatial and parametrical) of given locations to those at typical locations. Based on this idea, this paper proposes an approach to quantifying the spatial gradation of slope positions by using typical locations as prototypes. This approach includes two parts: the first is to extract the typical locations of each slope position and treat them as the prototypes of this position; and the second is to compute the similarity between a given location and the prototypes based on both local topographic attributes and spatial context. The new approach characterizes slope position gradation in both the attribute domain (i.e., parameter space) and the spatial domain (i.e., geographic space) in an easy and practicable way. Applications show that the new approach can quantitatively describe spatial gradations among a set of slope positions. Comparison of spatial gradation of A-horizon sand percentages with the quantified spatial gradation of slope positions indicates that the latter reflects slope processes, confirming the effectiveness of the approach. The comparison of a soil subgroup map of the study area with the maximum similarity map derived from the approach also suggests that the quantified spatial gradation of slope position can be used to aid geographical modeling such as digital soil mapping.     

Risk analysis for capsizing of small vessels

Vessel accidents during stormy weather conditions over Kuwait's coastal waters are one of the major concerns for insurance and re-insurance companies, since such accidents can result in not only material losses but also losses of lives. In order to determine insurance rates for different types of vessels and their operators, it is desirable to estimate the risk or probability of occurrence of an accident and the resulting expected damage or losses associated with a given vessel type under the local wave conditions first. Therefore, there is a national need for such a study to provide this type of basic information on the risks or probabilities of vessel accidents caused by high waves within the Kuwait's territorial waters. The main objective of this study is thus to provide such information for the local and international agencies and companies concerned with sailing operations and maintenance, navigational safety, and particularly insurance of small recreational and commercial vessels. The study was carried out with the financial support of M/s Warba Insurance Company and the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences, Kuwait.

Field measurements of wave overtopping at the rubble mound breakwater of Rome–Ostia yacht harbour

This paper describes a new station for full-scale measurement of wave overtopping at the Rome yacht harbour rubble mound breakwater in Ostia (Italy) and the results of the successful first measurement campaign carried out during the winter season 2003–2004. The equipment and the research activities were supported by the EU project CLASH, focusing on scale effects for wave overtopping at coastal structures. The site is characterized by a very small tidal range, a long shallow foreshore and depth-limited breaking waves which interact with a shallow sloping porous rock structure. Overtopping water is collected by a steel tank installed on the crown slab behind the parapet wall. The measurement of water level variation inside the tank by means of two pressure transducers allows the calculation of individual overtopping volumes. Incident waves, sea levels and wind are also measured. During seven independent storms, more than 400 individual overtopping events were recorded and about 86 h of valid data are available. This extensive dataset is presented, discussed and then used for comparison with two commonly used overtopping prediction formulae based on small-scale model tests showing their tendency to underestimate the prototype results. A strong correlation between the hourly mean overtopping discharge and corresponding maximum volume is also presented. The paper generally confirms the validity of the approach used in Troch et al. (2004) [Troch, P., Geeraets, J., Van de Walle, B., De Rouck, J., Van Damme, L., Allsop, W., Franco, L., 2004. Full-scale wave overtopping measurements on the Zeebrugge rubble mound breakwater.

大型陆相坳陷型沉积盆地原型恢复方法——以新生代柴达木盆地为例

陆相坳陷型沉积盆地通常发育在克拉通的内部差异沉降和裂谷盆地后期的热沉降等不同的大地构造阶段,是一类独特而又十分重要的沉积盆地。本文基于该类盆地的特点,提出了综合利用盆地沉积相、残余厚度图、区域构造大剖面及其平衡恢复等多方面资料对其盆地原型进行恢复的方法和流程,具体包括以残余沉积相恢复盆地原始边界、以平衡剖面恢复盆地原始形态、以关键钻井资料与平衡剖面相结合恢复原始沉积厚度。该方法消除了构造运动对盆地形态的改变,真正将盆地原型纳入到其原始形态框架下进行研究。本文还利用该方法对柴达木盆地新生代各地层沉积时的盆地原型分别进行了恢复,并据此对其新生代的沉积演化进行了分析,结果表明柴达木盆地新生代的沉积格局变化与阿尔金断裂的活动息息相关。     

准噶尔盆地陆东-五彩湾地区晚石炭世原型盆地分析

笔者从原型盆地分析出发,根据物源区特征与盆地类型的关系以及地层结构特征,对陆东-五彩湾地区晚石炭世盆地的发育背景、展布范围进行了系统论证。研究表明,陆东-五彩湾地区晚石炭世是在碰撞造山后拉伸形成的裂谷盆地群,盆内沉积的碎屑岩来源于早石炭世晚期残留洋闭合产生的岛弧以及多旋回造山带,具有石英含量低,火山碎屑含量高的特征; 从盆地边界形态来看,晚石炭世原型盆地与现今残留盆地的格局基本相似,构造碰撞带附近地层剥蚀严重甚至缺失,盆地沉积中心区域的地层保存相对完整。同时,在针对陆东-五彩湾地区1 000余条二维地震测线精细解释的基础上,综合岩心统计、地震相以及反演等信息,认为研究区在晚石炭世发育两种类型断陷,其中,五彩湾、东道海子地区发育单断断陷,三南-滴水泉地区发育双断断陷,两种断陷均有大量的火山岩充填,火山岩的发育及展布主要受到缓坡区一系列断裂的控制。
