挤压地区物理模拟研究进展

构造物理模拟是目前研究构造变形过程与成因机制最为有效的手段。在系统展示并归纳国内外研究成果的基础上, 总结了物理模拟实验的理论、材料及技术进展。在挤压地区, 构造物理模拟已经被证明是一种模拟逆冲褶皱系统演化过程的强有力工具; 在推覆体或双冲构造、冲断带的反转与基底卷入、挤压造山作用与表面过程、挤压地区构造转换带及地幔对流与板块碰撞俯冲等方面取得了很大进展。

Advances of research on physical modelling in compressional area

Structural physical modelling is the most effective method to study the structural deformation process and formation mechanism. On the basis of exhibiting and generalizing the recent achievements at home and abroad, the authors summarized the theory, material and technical process of physical modelling. In compressional area, physical modelling has been proved to be a powerful tool for simulating the evolution process of fold - thrust system, and gets great progress in nappe and double thrust structures, thrust belt inversion and basement involvement, compressional orogenesis function and surface process, structure transform zone in compressional area and mantle convection together with collision or subduction of plates, etc.
