However, the role of topography in controlling the flow transformation and sediments aggradation has been less studied. This constrain studies of sediment distribution and understanding of graded profile. For lake basin sequences, geomorphological control is much stronger than lake level rise and fall. Under extreme conditions, sediments can still prograde when the lake level rises. Therefore, describing the influence of geomorphology on the flow transformation and stacking pattern of the lobes can provide a deeper understanding of the controlling factors of the lake basin stratigraphy sequence. Xiligou lake (XLG) fan delta from Xisai Basin provides an optimal case for addressing this issue. Three lobes developed on the XLG fan delta with significant differences in their morphologies, architectures, lithofacies, sediment distributions and topographies. Through trenching, drone photography, and satellite data, we analyzed the structure of the sediments and the distribution of sedimentary facies. Based on the analysis of debris flow and hyper-concentrated flow deposits, two transformation models corresponding to different topographies were established. Sediment unloading is caused by a frictional reduction or a sudden momentum loss in the sediments flow's carrying capacity, allowing the debris flow transforms to hyper-concentrated flow and then to stream flow during the movement. The role of topography in controlling sediment flow transformation and sediment distribution is clarified through forces analysis of sediment grain. The topographic gradient of the linear slope is constant, so the direction of fluid movement is consistent with the topographic direction. Therefore, sediment flows move on linear slope without collision with the bed and there is no sudden loss of momentum. The gradual or sudden reduction in topographic gradient of concave slopes forces a constant or sudden change in the direction of fluid movement, which facilitates the unloading of sediments and the transformation of flow. The sudden change of topography forces unloading of viscous component, and the non-viscous component pass over to form hyper-concentrated flow, often accompanied by remobilized large gravels. The graded profile was an equilibrium between the dynamics and resistance of sediment transport. Changes in lake level affect the graded profile by changing the elevation of sediment transport, which is the total gravitational potential energy. The instantaneous graded profile and temporary graded profile are different scales of equilibrium corresponding to hydrodynamic equilibrium and depositional trend respectively. This study reveals the role of geomorphological dynamics in controlling sedimentary body progradation, thus providing a new perspective on the analysis of lake basin stratigraphy sequence.展开更多

Introduction Research on the ground effect of rotor can be traced back to the 1930s1.However, few studies have been conducted on the aerodynamic characteristics of rotors and ducted fans when hovering near a water surface for an extended period.With the emergence of cross-media rotorcraft, rotor wakes interact violently with the water surface to generate large-scale,air–water droplet mixed flows (hereafter referred to as mixed air–water flows). Rotors operating in mixed air–water flows always have aerodynamic performances that are different from those owing to the In-Ground Effect (IGE) and Out-of Ground Effect (OGE).

Most studies of RI are based on the uniform inflow, ignoring the influence of inlet distortions. This study investigates the mechanism of RI in a transonic rotor through full-annulus unsteady simulations, with a particular focus on the effects of boundary layer ingesting distortions. The results show that at the uniform inflow, the RI fluctuations with the broadband hump can be observed over a relatively wide mass flow rate range, and its origin can be attributed to the coupling effect between the tip leakage flow and shear layer instability. At the inlet distortions, the broadband hump only occurs with partial circumferential locations. This kind of flow phenomenon is defined as Partial Rotating Instability (PRI). The PRI only occurs in a narrower mass flow rate range in which the circumferential range of strong shear is sufficiently large and the self-induced unsteady effects are strong enough. Further, this study confirms that the averaged tip leakage flow axial momentum at the onset of RI or PRI is close, so it can be used as the parameter to determine whether RI or PRI occurs.展开更多

B. P.), Cascade volcanic arc, Oregon, entered and blocked the narrow, bedrock-lined canyon of the Williamson River approximately 35 to 44 km from the source volcano. The blockage impounded a body of water which then released producing four stratigraphic units in the downstream debris fan. The four stratigraphic units are a boulder core comprised of locally sourced bedrock boulders and three sand-rich units including a fine-grained sand unit, a sandy pumice gravel (±basalt/hydrovolcanic tuff) unit, and a pumice pebble-bearing, crystal-rich sand unit. Hand-drilled auger holes up to ~1.6 m deep were used to obtain samples of the sand-rich units. Units were delimited using surface and down-hole observations, composition and texture, estimated density, statistical parameters of grain size, and vertical and lateral distribution of properties. Overtopping followed by rapid incision into the ash-rich pyroclastic flows progressively cleared the canyon, but a bedrock knickpoint near the head of the canyon limited the volume of debris available for transport to about 0.04 km<sup>3</sup> to 0.08 km<sup>3</sup>. Co-deposition of bedrock boulders and lithic-rich sand was followed by rapid deposition with minimal reworking of remobilized pyroclastics. Continued draining of the impounded lake sent hyperconcentrated flows onto the debris fan depositing pumice-rich gravels that graded upward to crystal-rich sands.展开更多

文摘The study on sand body connectivity and distribution patterns is of great significance for well emplacement and injection-production pattern analysis in the A oilfield of the Weixi?nan Sag currently at a pre-development stage.Based on the current drilling data,seismic data,and fault development characteristics,this study investigates the connectivity,geometric morphology,planar distribution,and vertical evolution of composite sand bodies(multi-stage superimposed channel sand bodies)within the fault block using seismic forward and inversion modeling.The El3I oil layer group in the third member of the Liushagang Formation is developed in the fan delta-front sub-facies,which mainly consists of subaqueous distributary channels.The thickness of single-stage subaqueous distributary channel sand bodies ranges from 2 to 6 m,and the width of composite channel sand bodies varies from 50 to 100 m.Under the long-term transgression background,the subaqueous distributary channels in the El3I oil layer group are relatively narrow,forming superimposed and continuous composite channel sand bodies through lateral migration and vertical stacking.The long-term base-level cycles control the width of subaqueous distributary channels,while the mid-term base-level cycles control the thickness of these channels.The subaqueous distributary channels developed during the late stage of mid-term base-level fall are thicker than those formed during the early stage.Accordingly,quantitative relationships between channel thickness and width are established for the early and late stages of mid-term base-level fall,to finely depict the evolution patterns of channel sand body geometry and stacking styles across different stages.These findings provide important guidance for accurately predicting the planar distribution and channel width of composite subaqueous distributary channels at different stages of the mid-term baselevel cycles.

文摘An experimental investigation is conducted to evaluate the performance and the stalling process of a fan subjected to inlet swirls,as well as the effectiveness of an Impedance Boundary-Controlled(IBC)Casing Treatment(CT)on the stall margin recovery.An operating cycle is proposed based on the hysteresis effect of harmonic flap oscillation of airfoils and parallel compressor theory to explain the pressure characteristic of the fan under twin swirl inlets.Twin swirls are observed to reduce the stall margin of the fan,and the circumferential location where the spike is detected turns to the intersection area of the twin swirl.The IBC CT is proven to extend the stall margin of the fan for 12.7%–22.3%when subjected to inlet swirls with an efficiency loss of around 1%.The IBC CT helps to reduce the size of the operating cycle of the fan by redistributing the blade loading and adding the system damping to dissipate the perturbation energy.

文摘This study explores the influence of rotor blade angle on stall inception in an axial fan by means of numerical simulations grounded in the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)equations and the Realizable k-εturbulence model.By analyzing the temporal behavior of the outlet static pressure,along with the propagation velocity of stall inception,the research identifies distinct patterns in the development of stall.The results reveal that stall inception originates in the second rotor impeller.At a blade angle of 27°,the stall inception follows a modal wave pattern,while in all other cases,it assumes the form of spike-type stall.The flow field associated with spike stall inception demonstrates a relatively uniform gradient in the radial direction,whereas the modal wave stall case displays a distinctive“L”-shaped propagation feature.At blade angles of multiple stall inceptions are observed.-9°and-18°,These phenomena initiate at the blade’s leading edge,propagate along both axial and radial directions,and transition dynamically between single and multiple inception states.
文摘Jet ventilation is widely used in the ventilation design of highway and railway tunnels as an important air supply method during tunnel operation and disaster periods.This ventilation method has also been applied for fire control in immersed tunnels.We conduct numerical simulations using computational fluid dynamics(CFD)to study positive ventilation in the upstream and reverse ventilation in the downstream(P-R)for an extra-wide immersed tunnel.The effects of fire source location and jet fan air velocity response strategy on the ceiling temperature decay,carbon monoxide(CO)distribution,and smoke exhaust efficiency were investigated for varying fire source locations.The results show that flames will be tilted to the side of the jet fan with a smaller air velocity.Additionally,the jet fan air velocity should be adjusted based on the relative distance between the fire source and the smoke vent.Among the studied scenarios,the most effective outcome was achieved when the air velocity was adjusted to 25 m/s on the side near the smoke vent.Also in this scenario,the phenomenon of smoke deposition was effectively mitigated and the average smoke exhaust efficiency reached 87%.Moreover,we found that the temperature decay of the tunnel follows an exponential decay law.The temperature decay rate is significantly higher on the side closest to the smoke vent compared to the farther side.This research provides a theoretical basis for smoke control strategies for fires that occur in immersed tunnels.

文摘Rotating Instability (RI) is a typical unsteady flow phenomenon in compressors and may cause severe aerodynamic noise and even potential nonsynchronous vibration. Most studies of RI are based on the uniform inflow, ignoring the influence of inlet distortions. This study investigates the mechanism of RI in a transonic rotor through full-annulus unsteady simulations, with a particular focus on the effects of boundary layer ingesting distortions. The results show that at the uniform inflow, the RI fluctuations with the broadband hump can be observed over a relatively wide mass flow rate range, and its origin can be attributed to the coupling effect between the tip leakage flow and shear layer instability. At the inlet distortions, the broadband hump only occurs with partial circumferential locations. This kind of flow phenomenon is defined as Partial Rotating Instability (PRI). The PRI only occurs in a narrower mass flow rate range in which the circumferential range of strong shear is sufficiently large and the self-induced unsteady effects are strong enough. Further, this study confirms that the averaged tip leakage flow axial momentum at the onset of RI or PRI is close, so it can be used as the parameter to determine whether RI or PRI occurs.

文摘In response to issues such as incomplete segmentation and the presence of breakpoints encountered in extracting debris-flow fans using semantic segmentation models,this paper proposes a local feature and spatial attention mechanism to achieve precise segmentation of debris-flow fans.Firstly,leveraging the spatial inhibition mechanism from neuroscience theory as a foundation,an energy function for the local feature and spatial attention mechanism is formulated.Subsequently,by employing optimization theory,a closed-form solution for the energy function is derived,which ensures the lightweight nature of the proposed attention mechanism algorithm.Finally,the performance of this algorithm is compared with other mainstream attention mechanism algorithms embedded in semantic segmentation models through comparative experiments.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms both the original models and mainstream attention mechanisms across various classic models,effectively enhancing the performance of network models in debris-flow fan segmentation tasks.

文摘The coupling relationship between shelf-edge deltas and deep-water fan sand bodies is a hot and cutting-edge field of international sedimentology and deep-water oil and gas exploration.Based on the newly acquired high-resolution 3D seismic,logging and core data of Pearl River Mouth Basin(PRMB),this paper dissected the shelf-edge delta to deep-water fan(SEDDF)depositional system in the Oligocene Zhuhai Formation of Paleogene in south subsag of Baiyun Sag,and revealed the complex coupling relationship from the continental shelf edge to deep-water fan sedimentation and its genetic mechanisms.The results show that during the deposition of the fourth to first members of the Zhuhai Formation,the scale of the SEDDF depositional system in the study area showed a pattern of first increasing and then decreasing,with deep-water fan developed in the third to first members and the largest plane distribution scale developed in the late stage of the second member.Based on the development of SEDDF depositional system along the source direction,three types of coupling relationships are divided,namely,deltas that are linked downdip to fans,deltas that lack downdip fans and fans that lack updip coeval deltas,with different depositional characteristics and genetic mechanisms.(1)Deltas that are linked downdip to fans:with the development of shelf-edge deltas in the shelf area and deep-water fans in the downdip slope area,and the strong source supply and relative sea level decline are the two key factors which control the development of this type of source-to-sink(S2S).The development of channels on the continental shelf edge is conducive to the formation of this type of S2S system even with weak source supply and high sea level.(2)Deltas that lack downdip fans:with the development of shelf edge deltas in shelf area,while deep water fans are not developed in the downdip slope area.The lack of“sources”and“channels”,and fluid transformation are the three main reasons for the formation of this type of S2S system.(3)Fans that lack updip coeval deltas:with the development of deep-water fans in continental slope area and the absence of updip coeval shelf edge deltas,which is jointly controlled by the coupling of fluid transformation at the shelf edge and the“channels”in the continental slope area.

文摘Deepwater oil and gas exploration is the key to sustainable breakthroughs in petroleum exploration worldwide.The Central Canyon gas field has confirmed the Lingshui Sag is a hydrocarbon-generating sag,and the deepwater reservoirs in the Lingshui Sag still have more fabulous oil and gas exploration potential.Based on drilling data and three-dimensional(3D)seismic data,this paper uses seismic facies analysis,seismic attribute analysis,and coherence slice analysis to identify the types of submarine fans(lobe-shaped and band-shaped submarine fans)that developed in the Lingshui Sag during the Middle Miocene,clarify the source-to-sink system of the submarine fans and discuss the genesis mechanism of the submarine fans.The results show that:(1)the deepwater source-to-sink system of the Lingshui Sag in the Middle Miocene mainly consisted of a“delta(sediment supply)-submarine canyon(sediment transport channel)-submarine fan(deepwater sediment sink)”association;(2)the main factor controlling the formation of the submarine fans developed in the Lingshui Sag was on the relative sea level decline;and(3)the bottom current reworked the lobe-shaped submarine fan that developed in the northern Lingshui Sag and formed the band-shaped submarine fan with a greater sand thickness.This paper aims to provide practical geological knowledge for subsequent petroleum exploration and development in the deepwater area of the Qiongdongnan Basin through a detailed analysis of the Middle Miocene submarine fan sedimentary system developed in the Lingshui Sag.

文摘It is of great significance to study the effects of desert plants on soil enzyme activities and soil organic carbon(SOC)for maintaining the stability of the desert ecosystem.In this study,we studied the responses of soil enzyme activities and SOC fractions(particulate organic carbon(POC)and mineral-associated organic carbon(MAOC))to five typical desert plant communities(Convolvulus tragacanthoides,Ephedra rhytidosperma,Stipa breviflora,Stipa tianschanica var.gobica,and Salsola laricifolia communities)in the proluvial fan in the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountain in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,China.We recorded the plant community information mainly including the plant coverage and herb and shrub species,and obtained the aboveground biomass and plant species diversity through sample surveys in late July 2023.Soil samples were also collected at depths of 0–10 cm(topsoil)and 10–20 cm(subsoil)to determine the soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities.The results showed that the plant coverage and aboveground biomass of S.laricifolia community were significantly higher than those of C.tragacanthoides,S.breviflora,and S.tianschanica var.gobica communities(P<0.05).Soil enzyme activities varied among different plant communities.In the topsoil,the enzyme activities of alkaline phosphatase(ALP)andβ-1,4-glucosidas(βG)were significantly higher in E.rhytidosperma and S.tianschanica var.gobica communities than in other plant communities(P<0.05).The topsoil had higher POC and MAOC contents than the subsoil.Specifically,the content of POC in the topsoil was 18.17%–42.73%higher than that in the subsoil.The structural equation model(SEM)indicated that plant species diversity,soil pH,and soil water content(SWC)were the main factors influencing POC and MAOC.The soil pH inhibited the formation of POC and promoted the formation of MAOC.Conversely,SWC stimulated POC production and hindered MAOC formation.Our study aimed to gain insight into the effects of desert plant communities on soil enzyme activities and SOC fractions,as well as the drivers of SOC fractions in the proluvial fan in the eastern foothills of the Helan Mountain and other desert ecosystems.
文摘Ash-rich pyroclastic flows from the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Mazama (~7700 yr. B. P.), Cascade volcanic arc, Oregon, entered and blocked the narrow, bedrock-lined canyon of the Williamson River approximately 35 to 44 km from the source volcano. The blockage impounded a body of water which then released producing four stratigraphic units in the downstream debris fan. The four stratigraphic units are a boulder core comprised of locally sourced bedrock boulders and three sand-rich units including a fine-grained sand unit, a sandy pumice gravel (±basalt/hydrovolcanic tuff) unit, and a pumice pebble-bearing, crystal-rich sand unit. Hand-drilled auger holes up to ~1.6 m deep were used to obtain samples of the sand-rich units. Units were delimited using surface and down-hole observations, composition and texture, estimated density, statistical parameters of grain size, and vertical and lateral distribution of properties. Overtopping followed by rapid incision into the ash-rich pyroclastic flows progressively cleared the canyon, but a bedrock knickpoint near the head of the canyon limited the volume of debris available for transport to about 0.04 km<sup>3</sup> to 0.08 km<sup>3</sup>. Co-deposition of bedrock boulders and lithic-rich sand was followed by rapid deposition with minimal reworking of remobilized pyroclastics. Continued draining of the impounded lake sent hyperconcentrated flows onto the debris fan depositing pumice-rich gravels that graded upward to crystal-rich sands.
