Analysis performed using low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and double-axis X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows a strong and prominent dependence of the PL and XRD linewidths on the V/III flux ratio. Under our growth conditions, both the PL and XRD linewidths exhibit a minimum point at a V/III flux ratio of 150 which corresponds to a maximum in the PL intensity and XRD intensity ratio. Flux ratios exceeding 150 result in an increase in both the PL and XRD linewidths corresponding to a reduction in their associated intensities. Room temperature Raman scattering measurements show a narrowing in the lnAs-like and AlAs-like longitudinal-optic (LO)phonon linewidths which broaden at high flux ratios, while the LO phonon frequencies exhibit a gradual reduction as the flux ratio is increased. PL spectra taken at increasing temperatures show a quenching of the main emission peak followed by the evolution of a broad lower energy emission which is possibly associated with deep lying centres. This effect is more prominent in samples grown at lower V/III flux ratios. Hall effect measurements show a gradual reduction in the mobility in correspondence to an increase in the electron concentration as the flux ratio is increased.展开更多

It also investigates the spatial distribution characteristics of the resulting shock wave loads. Based on dimensional analysis theory, a theoretical analysis of the shock wave overpressure distribution in free air fields is conducted. Utilizing the derived dimensionless function relationships, the hydrocode AUTODYN is employed to investigate the effects of charge structure parameters and explosive combinations on the internal overdriven detonation phenomena and the distribution of shock wave loads. It is found that the overdriven detonation phenomenon in the inner layer of composite charges increases the strength of the axial detonation wave,thereby enhancing the intensity of the primary end wave formed upon refraction into the air, which affects the distribution characteristics of the shock wave overpressure. Research has shown that increasing the thickness ratio and detonation velocity ratio of composite charges is beneficial for exacerbating the phenomenon of overdriven detonation, improving the primary end wave intensity and axial overpressure. This gain effect gradually weakens with the propagation of shock waves. When overdriven detonation occurs inside the composite charge, the detonation pressure first increases and then decreases. The Mach reflection pressure of the composite charge with a larger aspect ratio is attenuated to a greater extent. In addition, as the aspect ratio of the composite charge increases, the shock wave energy gradually flows from the axial direction to the radial direction. Therefore, as the aspect ratio of the composite charge increases, the primary end wave intensity and axial overpressure gradually decrease.展开更多

The large memory capacity is divided into parts to achieve data acquisition and storage with multiple triggers. Compared with conventional single-shot storage test system, this system can prevent false trigger and improve reliability of the test. By using explosion time to extract valid signal segments, it improves the efficiency of data recovery. These characteristics of the system contribute to multi-point test. After the dynamic characteristics of the system are calibrated, the valid data can be obtained in explosion experiments. The results show that the multi-trigger test system has higher reliability than single trigger test system.展开更多

The results of the carried out researches taking into account world ex- perience on the given problem allow to con- clude, that SCB (mainly its deep-water part), as well as a number of other basins of the world with overpressures, is characterized by retarda- tion of processes cracking of kerogen and oil, and also reaction of transformation of clay minerals. Periodic intensification of these pro- cesses can provoke development of diapirs and mud volcanoes, which are the centers of pulse unloading of a hydrocarbon products from sys- tem. The conclusion about high prospects of revealing of hydrocarbon accumulations in deep buried deposits in overpressured basins is made.展开更多

First, genetic algorithm is adopted to conduct global search and sensor layout optimization method is selected to satisfy four indicators. Then, by means of Matlab, the variation of these four indicators with different sensor layouts and reconstruction accuracy are analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that the sensor layout method proposed by this paper can reconstruct explosion overpressure field at the highest precision by a minimum number of sensors. It will guide actual explosion experiments in a cost-effective way.展开更多

The genetic relationship between uranium mineralization and hydrocarbons has been recognized by a number of previous studies, but it has not been well understood in terms of the hydrodynamics of basin fluid flow. We have demonstrated in a previous study that the preferential localization of Cretaceous uranium mineralization in the upper part of the Ordos Jurassic section may have been related to the interface between an upward flowing, reducing fluid and a downward flowing, oxidizing fluid. This interface may have been controlled by the interplay between fluid overpressure related to disequilibrium sediment compaction and which drove the upward flow, and topographic relief, which drove the downward flow. In this study, we carried out numerical modeling for the contribution of oil and gas generation to the development of fluid overpressure, in addition to sedi- ment compaction and heating. Our results indicate that when hydrocarbon generation is taken into account, fluid overpressure during the Cretaceous was more than doubled in comparison with the simu- lation when hydrocarbon generation was not considered. Furthermore, fluid overpressure dissipation at the end of sedimentation slowed down relative to the no-hydrocarbon generation case. These results suggest that hydrocarbon generation may have played an important role in uranium mineralization, not only in providing reducing agents required for the mineralization, but also in contributing to the driving force to maintain the upward flow.展开更多

The effect of the blast load on the structure depends not only on the peak shock overpressure, but also the impulse (hence the duration). For structures with a regular geometry, the blast load may be fairly well estimated using appropriate empirical formulae; however, for more complex situations, a direct simulation using appropriate computational techniques is necessary. This paper presents a numerical simulation study on the prediction of the blast load in free air using a hydrocode, with focus on the sensitivity of the simulated blast load to the mesh grid size. The simulation results are compared with empirical predictions. It is found that the simulated blast load is sensitive to the mesh size, especially in the close-in range, and with a practically affordable mesh grid density, the blast load tends to be systematically underestimated. The study is extended to internal blast cases. An example concrete slab under internal explosion is analyzed using a coupled analysis scheme. The internal blast load from the simulation is examined and the response of the RC slab is commented.展开更多
文摘Growth of ln0.52Al0.48As epitaxial layers on lnP(100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy at a wide range of arsenic overpressures (V/III flux ratios from 30 to 300) has been carried out. Analysis performed using low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and double-axis X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows a strong and prominent dependence of the PL and XRD linewidths on the V/III flux ratio. Under our growth conditions, both the PL and XRD linewidths exhibit a minimum point at a V/III flux ratio of 150 which corresponds to a maximum in the PL intensity and XRD intensity ratio. Flux ratios exceeding 150 result in an increase in both the PL and XRD linewidths corresponding to a reduction in their associated intensities. Room temperature Raman scattering measurements show a narrowing in the lnAs-like and AlAs-like longitudinal-optic (LO)phonon linewidths which broaden at high flux ratios, while the LO phonon frequencies exhibit a gradual reduction as the flux ratio is increased. PL spectra taken at increasing temperatures show a quenching of the main emission peak followed by the evolution of a broad lower energy emission which is possibly associated with deep lying centres. This effect is more prominent in samples grown at lower V/III flux ratios. Hall effect measurements show a gradual reduction in the mobility in correspondence to an increase in the electron concentration as the flux ratio is increased.

文摘Much progress in the studies on overpressuring mechanisms has been made during the past one to two decades.(1)The causes of overpressure are divided into five categories,namely,disequilibrium compaction,fluid expansion,diagenesis,tectonic compression and pressure transfer.The fluid expansion involves hydrocarbon generation,oil cracking to gas and hydrothermal expansion.The diagenesis includes smectite-to-illite transformation.(2)Six methods for identifying overpressure origin are proposed,including log curves combination analysis,Bowers method(loading-unloading diagram),velocitydensity crossplotting,correlation of porosities,pressure calculation and correlation,and comprehensive analyses.(3)With more and more application of empirical methods in the study of overpressure formation,almost all of the overpressure cases that are traditionally thought to be caused by disequilibrium compaction are denied totally or partly.Instead,the hydrocarbon generation is demonstrated to be the most significant mechanism for overpressure formation;the clay diagenesis(especially the smectiteillite transformation)as well as tectonic compression and pressure transfer are also important for overpressure formation.In addition,the overpressure formation in many basins is thought to be influenced by the combination of two or more overpressuring mechanisms.(4)Causes of overpressuring differ in lithology;for mudstones,the overpressure formation in source rocks is usually different from that of non-source rocks,the former of which is frequently related to hydrocarbon generation and sometimes also affected by diagenesis,while the later of which is commonly related to disequilibrium compaction,diagenesis and pressure transfer;for permeable rocks such as sandstones,overpressure is mainly caused by pressure transfer.(5)Because organic matter has an obvious influence on logging parameters such as density and acoustic velocity,an appropriate correction on the content of organic matter is needed when these logging data are used to analyze overpressure formation in organic-rich mudstones.It has been revealed that the cause of overpressuring based on the corrected log data can be quite different from that without correction.

文摘Traffic engineering such as tunnels in various altitudinal gradient zone are at risk of accidental explosion,which can damage personnel and equipment.Accurate prediction of the distribution pattern of explosive loads and shock wave propagation process in semi-enclosed structures at various altitude environment is key research focus in the fields of explosion shock and fluid dynamics.The effect of altitude on the propagation of shock waves in tunnels was investigated by conducting explosion test and numerical simulation.Based on the experimental and numerical simulation results,a prediction model for the attenuation of the peak overpressure of tunnel shock waves at different altitudes was established.The results showed that the peak overpressure decreased at the same measurement points in the tunnel entrance under the high altitude condition.In contrast,an increase in altitude accelerated the propagation speed of the shock wave in the tunnel.The average error between the peak shock wave overpressure obtained using the overpressure prediction formula and the measured test data was less than15%,the average error between the propagation velocity of shock waves predicted values and the test data is less than 10%.The method can effectively predict the overpressure attenuation of blast wave in tunnel at various altitudes.

文摘The muzzle blast overpressure induces disturbances in the flow field inside the crew compartment(FFICC)of a truck-mounted howitzer during the artillery firing.This overpressure is the primary factor preventing personnel from firing artillery within the cab.To investigate the overpressure characteristics of the FFICC,a foreign trade equipment model was used as the research object,and a numerical model was established to analyze the propagation of muzzle blast from the muzzle to the interior of the crew compartment under extreme firing condition.For comparative verification,the muzzle blast experiment included overpressure data from both the flow field outside the crew compartment(FFOCC)and the FFICC,as well as the acceleration data of the crew compartment structure(Str-CC).The research findings demonstrate that the overpressure-time curves of the FFICC exhibit multi-peak characteristics,while the pressure wave shows no significant discontinuity.The enclosed nature of the cab hinders the dissipation of pressure wave energy within the FFICC,leading to sustained high-amplitude overpressure.The frameskin structure helps attenuate the impact of muzzle blast on the FFICC.Conversely,local high overpressure caused by the convex or concave features of the cab's exterior significantly amplifies the overpressure amplitude within the FFICC.
文摘Overpressure prediction for exploratory drilling has become robust in most basins with increasing well control,high-quality seismic datasets,and proactive real-time overpressure monitoring while drilling.However,accurate overpressure prediction remains challenging in offshore Northwest Borneo despite several decades of drilling experience.This paper focuses on two exploration wells drilled by Brunei Shell Petroleum 40 years apart that faced similar challenges with overpressure prediction and well control.An integrated lookback study is attempted using seismic and well-log data to explore the causes of the unsatisfactory Pore Pressure Prediction(PPP)outcome in pre-drill and real-time operation settings for thesewells.Our study indicates that the misprediction of overpressures is due to real differences in shale pressure(basis of pre-drill work and monitoring)and sand pressure(source of drill kick and well control chal-lenges)due to large-scale vertical leak or expulsion of deep-seated fluids into pre-compacted normally pressured overlying sediments in several regions through a mix of shear and tensile failure mechanisms.Such migrated fluids inflate the sand pressure in the normally compacted shallower sequences with the shale pressure remaining low.A predictive framework for upward fluid expulsion was attempted but found impracticable due to complex spatial and temporal variations in the horizontal stress field responsible for such leakage.As such,it is proposed that these migratory overpressures are essentially'unpredictable'from conventional PPP workflows viewed in the broad bucket of compaction disequi-librium(undercompaction)and fluid expansion(unloading)mechanisms.Further study is recommended to understand if such migrated overpressures in the sand can produce a discernible and predictable geophysical or petrophysical signature in the abutting normally compacted shales.The study highlights the possibility of large lateral variability in the sand overpressure within the same stratigraphic unit in regions with complex tectonostratigraphic evolution like Northwest Borneo.

文摘With the increasing demand for secure infrastructure such as hydrogen refueling stations,chemical plants,and energy storage systems,the need for protective structures capable of withstanding close-in detonations has become more critical.Existing design guidelines for protective walls(e.g.,UFC 3-340-02)primarily address mid-and far-field explosions,providing limited insights into near-field effects.Considering the effect of slight slopes(<40°)on reducing maximum reflected overpressure is deemed negligible.This study investigated the effectiveness of a reinforced concrete(RC)modular protection system(MPS)incorpo rating a diagonally tapered wall in attenuating re flected overpressures from closein detonations.Full-scale field experiments using a 51.3 kg TNT charge,representing the explosion energy of a typical hydrogen vessel rupture,demonstrated that a wall with a 7°slope significantly outperformed a vertical wall of equivalent concrete volume in terms of blast resistance.Observed structural responses included cracking,horizontal shear failure,and overturning.Complementary simulations using a validated computational fluid dynamics(CFD)model showed that the tapered wall reduced peak overpressure by 30%-40%compared to an equivalent vertical wall.This result highlights the potential of minor geometric modifications to enhance blast resilience.The tapered design effectively redirects incident blast waves,reducing localized damage while also conserving material,thus preserving modular benefits such as ease of transport and reusability.These findings suggest that diagonally tapered RC-based MPSs can offer a practical and resilient solution for industrial and military applications subject to near-field or sequential blast threats.

文摘Deep burial and intense tectonic compression in the Kuqa Foreland Basin,NW China,have paradoxically allowed for the preservation of primary pores in deep clastic reservoirs.This study investigates this mechanism through numerical simulation,quantitatively restoring the porosity and pore pressure evolution in the Lower Cretaceous Bashijiqike Formation.The analysis reveals the evolution of overpressure has played a significant inhibitory and preservative role in the reduction of porosity in these reservoirs.Overall,the process exhibits similarities across these areas.In the early and middle stages of overpressure formation,it suppressed and slowed the porosity reduction caused by both vertical loading and lateral tectonic compression.In the late stage,overpressure preserved the remaining reservoir porosity.However,the magnitude of porosity preservation and inhibition by overpressure varies in different structural locations.In the southern and northern parts of the Keshen area,the values show little variation,ranging from 1.95%to 1.98%.In contrast,the values are significantly higher in the southern parts of the Dabei and Bozi areas compared to their northern counterparts,with ranges of 2.35%to 3.67%and 1.03%to 1.65%,respectively.These findings provide a new framework for understanding deep reservoir preservation and guide future hydrocarbon exploration.

文摘Gas explosions are a frequent hazard in underground confined spaces in the process of urban development.Liquid sedimentary layers,commonly present in these environments,have not been sufficiently studied in terms of their impact on explosion dynamics.This study aims to investigate how gas-liquid two-phase environments in confined underground spaces affect the explosion characteristics of natural gas.To achieve this,experiments are conducted to examine the propagation of natural gas explosions in water and diesel layers,focusing on the influence of liquid properties and the liquid fullness degree(Lx)on explosion behavior.The results indicate that the presence of a liquid layer after the initial ignition stage significantly attenuates both the peak overpressure and the rise speed of pressure,in comparison to the natural gas conditions.During the subsequent explosive reaction,the evaporation and combustion of the diesel surface resulted in a distinct double-peak pressure rise profile in the diesel layer,with the second peak notably exceeding the first peak.Under conditions with a liquid sedimentary layer,the flame propagation velocities range from 6.53 to 34.1 m/s,while the overpressure peaks vary between 0.157 and 0.255 MPa.The explosion duration in both the water and diesel layer environments is approximately twice as long as that of the natural gas explosion,although the underlying mechanisms differ.In the diesel layer,the prolonged explosion time is attributed to the evaporation and combustion of the diesel,while in the water layer,the flame propagation velocity is significantly reduced.Under the experimental conditions,the maximum explosion energy reached 7.15×10~6J,corresponding to a TNT equivalent of 1.7.The peak overpressure surpassed the threshold for human fatality as defined by overpressure standards,posing a potential risk of damage to large steel-frame structures.The explosion shockwave in diesel layer conditions(L_(d)=0%,5%,7.5%,12.5%)and water layer(L_(w)=12.5%)conditions is observed to be sufficient to damage earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete.This study investigates the impact of sediment layer thickness and composition on gas explosions,and evaluates the associated explosion energy to assess human injuries and structural damage in underground environments.The findings of this study provide a scientific reference for urban underground safety.

文摘To explore the design criteria for composite charges and reveal the intrinsic relationship between the detonation wave propagation in composite charges and the overall energy distribution of shock waves,this study analyzes the propagation and interaction processes of detonation waves in composite charges with different structural dimensions and explosive combinations. It also investigates the spatial distribution characteristics of the resulting shock wave loads. Based on dimensional analysis theory, a theoretical analysis of the shock wave overpressure distribution in free air fields is conducted. Utilizing the derived dimensionless function relationships, the hydrocode AUTODYN is employed to investigate the effects of charge structure parameters and explosive combinations on the internal overdriven detonation phenomena and the distribution of shock wave loads. It is found that the overdriven detonation phenomenon in the inner layer of composite charges increases the strength of the axial detonation wave,thereby enhancing the intensity of the primary end wave formed upon refraction into the air, which affects the distribution characteristics of the shock wave overpressure. Research has shown that increasing the thickness ratio and detonation velocity ratio of composite charges is beneficial for exacerbating the phenomenon of overdriven detonation, improving the primary end wave intensity and axial overpressure. This gain effect gradually weakens with the propagation of shock waves. When overdriven detonation occurs inside the composite charge, the detonation pressure first increases and then decreases. The Mach reflection pressure of the composite charge with a larger aspect ratio is attenuated to a greater extent. In addition, as the aspect ratio of the composite charge increases, the shock wave energy gradually flows from the axial direction to the radial direction. Therefore, as the aspect ratio of the composite charge increases, the primary end wave intensity and axial overpressure gradually decrease.

文摘It is of great significance for deep oil and gas exploration to understand the origin and evolution behind overpressure.Overpressure occurs in the deep Shahezi Formation of Xujiaweizi fault depression.However,due to limited degree of exploration,there are some problems in the study area,such as unclear understanding of the origin of overpressure and the vague investigation of overpressure evolution.To clarify the impact of overpressure on oil and gas migration and accumulation in the study area,this study focuses on the research of the origin and evolution of overpressure in the Shahezi Formation of the study area,utilizing single well logging parameters and combining methods such as microthermometry of fluid inclusions,laser Raman spectrum,and basin simulation.The results show that the overpressure of the Shahezi Formation in Xujiaweizi fault depression is primarily generated by hydrocarbon generation pressurization,and the evolution of overpressure is closely related to hydrocarbon generation.The development of overpressure can be divided into two evolutionary stages:early hydrocarbon generation pressurization and late uplift release,with slight variations in different regions.Tight glutenite gas reservoirs in the Shahezi Formation are characterized by continuous charging.The overall charging period ranges from the late Denglouku to the early Mingshui(110-67 Ma ago).There is an obvious paleo-overpressure during the gas reservoir formation period.The gas generation period of source rocks occurred approximately 125-60 Ma ago,and the main gas generation period(112-67 Ma ago)highly coincides with the period of natural gas charging.The anomalously high pressure during the accumulation period is considered the significant driving force for natural gas charging.In addition,the sustained effect of overpressure provides better conditions for the preservation of tight gas reservoirs within the source.The results of the study are of guiding significance for the in-depth exploration and development of deep tight sandstone gas in the Shahezi Formation of Xujiaweizi fault depression.

文摘In overpressure reservoirs,natural gas often coexists in a three-phase mixed form of continuous free state,dispersed free state and water-saturated dissolved state.However,the latter two have not received sufficient attention.In response to this situation,based on detailed characterization of typical overpressure dissolved gas in the Yinggehai-Qiongdongnan basin and the experiment results of natural gas dissolution with high-temperature and overpressure,the concept of“overpressure-dissolved gas”was proposed and its basic features,formation conditions and resource potential were summarized.It refers to the natural gas present in the gas-water transitional zone and the saturated dissolved gas zone within the overpressure reservoirs.The formation of overpressure-dissolved gas requires two basic conditions:the pressure coefficient typically greater than 1.5,and a relatively high gas saturation in the reservoir(10%-35%).Overpressure-dissolved gas exists in the strata from shallow to deep with a multi-stage superimposed pattern;there are at least four combination types:overpressure-dissolved gas with multiple gas caps,overpressure-dissolved gas with single gas cap,gas-bearing water layer without gas cap,and dissolved gas-bearing water layer without gas cap.The basic geological elements required for the formation of overpressure-dissolved gas include the gas source,reservoir,cap rock,gas-water transitional zone and overpressure body.The conditions of gas source,reservoir and cap rock determine the scale of the overpressure-dissolved gas zone.High temperature,high pressure and low-permeability reservoirs control the solubility of natural gas and the thickness of the gas-water transitional zone.The physical properties of sandstone determine the combination types of overpressure-dissolved gas.Changes in pressure control the transformation of different existing states of overpressure-dissolved gas.The overpressure-dissolved gas in the Yinggehai-Qiongdongnan Basin has considerable huge resource potential.Once breakthrough is achieved in this area,it will usher in a new era of natural gas exploration in the overpressured basin.

文摘The Mesozoic volcanic rocks of the Bodong Low Uplift in the Bohai Bay Basin have been studied and explored for years.In 2024,the LK7-A well drilled in this region tested high-yield oil and gas flows from volcanic weathered crust.These volcanic rocks need to be further investigated in terms of distribution patterns,conditions for forming high-quality reservoirs,and main factors controlling hydrocarbon accumulation.Based on the logging,geochemical and mineralogical data from wells newly drilled to the Mesozoic volcanic rocks in the basin,and high-resolution 3D seismic data,a comprehensive study was conducted for this area.The research findings are as follows.First,the volcanic rocks in the LK7-A structure are adakites with a large source area depth,and the deep and large faults have provided channels for the emplacement of intermediate-acidic volcanic rocks.Second,volcanic rock reservoirs are mainly distributed in tectonic breccias and intermediate-acidic lavas,and they are dominantly fractured-porous reservoirs,with high-porosity and low-permeability or medium-porosity and low-permeability.Third,the dominant lithologies/lithofacies is the basic condition for forming large-scale volcanic rock reservoirs.Structural fractures and late-stage strong weathering are crucial mechanisms for the formation scale of reservoirs in the Mesozoic volcanic rocks.Fourth,the Bodong Low Uplift exhibits strong hydrocarbon charging by two sags and overpressure mudstone capping,which are favorable for forming high-abundance oil and gas reservoirs.The Mesozoic volcanic buried hills in the study area reflect good trap geometry,providing favorable conditions for large-scale reservoir formation,and also excellent migration and accumulation conditions.Areas with long-term exposure of intermediate-acidic volcanic rocks,particularly in active structural regions,are the key targets for future exploration.
文摘In quartzo-feldspathic continental crust with moderate-to-high heat flow,seismic activity extends to depths of 10-20 km,bounded by isotherms in the 350-450 C range.Fluid overpressuring above hydrostatic in seismogenic crust,is heterogeneous but tends to develop in the lower seismogenic zone(basal seismogenic zone reservoir=b.s.z.reservoir) where the transition between hydrostatically pressured and overpressured crust is likely an irregular,time-dependent.3-D interface with overpressuring concentrated around active faults and their ductile shear zone roots.The term Arterial Fault is applied to fault structures that root in portions of the crust where pore fluids are overpressured(i.e.at> hydrostatic pressure) and serve as feeders for such fluids and their contained solutes into overlying parts of the crust.While arterial flow may occur on any type of fault,it is most likely to be associated with reverse faults in areas of horizontal compression where fluid overpressuring is most easily sustained.Frictional stability and flow permeability of faults are both affected by the state of stress on the fault(shear stress,τ;normal stress,σn),the level of pore-fluid pressure,Pf,and episodes of fault slip,allowing for a complex interplay between fault movement and fluid flow.For seismically active faults the time dependence of permeability is critical,leading to fault-valve behaviour whereby overpressures accumulate at depth during interseismic intervals with fluid discharged along enhanced fault-fracture permeability following each rupture event.Patterns of mineralization also suggest that flow along faults is non-uniform,concentrating along tortuous pathways within the fault surface.Equivalent hydrostatic head above ground level for near-lithostatic overpressures at depth(<1.65×depth of zone) provides a measure of arterial potential.Settings for arterial faults include fault systems developed in compacting sedimentary basins,faults penetrating zones of active plutonic intrusion that encounter overpressured fluids exsolved from magma,together with those derived from contact metamorphism of fluid-rich wallrocks,and/or from regional devolatilisation accompanying prograde metamorphism.Specially significant are active faults within accretionary prisms rooted into overpressured subduction interfaces,and steep reverse faults activated by high overpressures from b.s.z.reservoirs during compressional inversion.
文摘Because single trigger system is unreliable for shock wave overpressure test, this paper presents a multi-trigger overpressure test system. The large memory capacity is divided into parts to achieve data acquisition and storage with multiple triggers. Compared with conventional single-shot storage test system, this system can prevent false trigger and improve reliability of the test. By using explosion time to extract valid signal segments, it improves the efficiency of data recovery. These characteristics of the system contribute to multi-point test. After the dynamic characteristics of the system are calibrated, the valid data can be obtained in explosion experiments. The results show that the multi-trigger test system has higher reliability than single trigger test system.
文摘In paper the role of excess pressures in cata- genic processes of the South-Caspian basin (SCB) is considered. The results of the carried out researches taking into account world ex- perience on the given problem allow to con- clude, that SCB (mainly its deep-water part), as well as a number of other basins of the world with overpressures, is characterized by retarda- tion of processes cracking of kerogen and oil, and also reaction of transformation of clay minerals. Periodic intensification of these pro- cesses can provoke development of diapirs and mud volcanoes, which are the centers of pulse unloading of a hydrocarbon products from sys- tem. The conclusion about high prospects of revealing of hydrocarbon accumulations in deep buried deposits in overpressured basins is made.

文摘The paper proposes four indicators to guide sensors layout in practical experiment on explosion overpressure filed construction based on tomographic method with high reconstruction accuracy and the least sensors. First, genetic algorithm is adopted to conduct global search and sensor layout optimization method is selected to satisfy four indicators. Then, by means of Matlab, the variation of these four indicators with different sensor layouts and reconstruction accuracy are analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that the sensor layout method proposed by this paper can reconstruct explosion overpressure field at the highest precision by a minimum number of sensors. It will guide actual explosion experiments in a cost-effective way.

文摘The Ordos Basin of North China is not only an important uranium mineralization province, but also a major producer of oil, gas and coal in China. The genetic relationship between uranium mineralization and hydrocarbons has been recognized by a number of previous studies, but it has not been well understood in terms of the hydrodynamics of basin fluid flow. We have demonstrated in a previous study that the preferential localization of Cretaceous uranium mineralization in the upper part of the Ordos Jurassic section may have been related to the interface between an upward flowing, reducing fluid and a downward flowing, oxidizing fluid. This interface may have been controlled by the interplay between fluid overpressure related to disequilibrium sediment compaction and which drove the upward flow, and topographic relief, which drove the downward flow. In this study, we carried out numerical modeling for the contribution of oil and gas generation to the development of fluid overpressure, in addition to sedi- ment compaction and heating. Our results indicate that when hydrocarbon generation is taken into account, fluid overpressure during the Cretaceous was more than doubled in comparison with the simu- lation when hydrocarbon generation was not considered. Furthermore, fluid overpressure dissipation at the end of sedimentation slowed down relative to the no-hydrocarbon generation case. These results suggest that hydrocarbon generation may have played an important role in uranium mineralization, not only in providing reducing agents required for the mineralization, but also in contributing to the driving force to maintain the upward flow.

文摘The waveform of the explosion shock wave under free-field air explosion is an extremely complex problem.It is generally considered that the waveform consists of overpressure peak,positive pressure zone and negative pressure zone.Most of current practice usually considers only the positive pressure.Many empirical relations are available to predict overpressure peak,the positive pressure action time and pressure decay law.However,there are few models that can predict the whole waveform.The whole process of explosion shock wave overpressure,which was expressed as the product of the three factor functions of peak,attenuation and oscillation,was proposed in the present work.According to the principle of explosion similarity,the scaled parameters were introduced and the empirical formula was absorbed to form a mathematical model of shock wave overpressure.Parametric numerical simulations of free-field air explosions were conducted.By experimental verification of the AUTODYN numerical method and comparing the analytical and simulated curves,the model is proved to be accurate to calculate the shock wave overpressure under free-field air explosion.In addition,through the model the shock wave overpressure at different time and distance can be displayed in three dimensions.The model makes the time needed for theoretical calculation much less than that for numerical simulation.

文摘Blasting is the live wire of mining and its operations,with air overpressure(AOp)recognised as an end product of blasting.AOp is known to be one of the most important environmental hazards of mining.Further research in this area of mining is required to help improve on safety of the working environment.Review of previous studies has shown that many empirical and artificial intelligence(AI)methods have been proposed as a forecasting model.As an alternative to the previous methods,this study proposes a new class of advanced artificial neural network known as brain inspired emotional neural network(BIENN)to predict AOp.The proposed BI-ENN approach is compared with two classical AOp predictors(generalised predictor and McKenzie formula)and three established AI methods of backpropagation neural network(BPNN),group method of data handling(GMDH),and support vector machine(SVM).From the analysis of the results,BI-ENN is the best by achieving the least RMSE,MAPE,NRMSE and highest R,VAF and PI values of 1.0941,0.8339%,0.1243%,0.8249,68.0512%and 1.2367 respectively and thus can be used for monitoring and controlling AOp.
文摘In the analysis of a structure subjected to an explosion event, the determination of the blast load constitutes a crucial step. The effect of the blast load on the structure depends not only on the peak shock overpressure, but also the impulse (hence the duration). For structures with a regular geometry, the blast load may be fairly well estimated using appropriate empirical formulae; however, for more complex situations, a direct simulation using appropriate computational techniques is necessary. This paper presents a numerical simulation study on the prediction of the blast load in free air using a hydrocode, with focus on the sensitivity of the simulated blast load to the mesh grid size. The simulation results are compared with empirical predictions. It is found that the simulated blast load is sensitive to the mesh size, especially in the close-in range, and with a practically affordable mesh grid density, the blast load tends to be systematically underestimated. The study is extended to internal blast cases. An example concrete slab under internal explosion is analyzed using a coupled analysis scheme. The internal blast load from the simulation is examined and the response of the RC slab is commented.
