The rainfall intensities ranged from 30 mm/h to 120 mm/h, with durations ranging from 15 min to 90 min, and crust slopes of ∼2° (gentle) and 30° (steep). Wind tunnel experiments were conducted at wind velocities of 14 m/s, 21 m/s, and 28 m/s to investigate post-rainfall wind erodibility, along with changes in crust strength and microstructure analysis. The findings show the development of hydrated cementitious phases in alkali-activated material, which form around and between the particles during the alkaline activation process. Alkali-activated cement crusts significantly reduced erosion caused by rainfall and subsequent wind by several orders of magnitude. At the highest rainfall intensity of 120 mm/h, rainfall erosion was measured to be 1654.81 kg/m2 for untreated samples and 0.89 kg/m2 for treated samples, demonstrating a substantial 99.95% reduction in erosion due to the treatment. Similarly, at the highest wind speed tested, wind erosion was 122.75 kg/m2 for untreated samples and 0.095 kg/m2 for treated samples, indicating a significant 99.92% reduction in erosion due to the formation of an alkali-activated cement crust on the soil surface. However, exposure of the samples to 120 mm/h rainfall for 90 min resulted in a 5.2-fold increase in wind erosion compared to pre-rainfall conditions. Similarly, penetrometer results indicated a 37%–54% reduction in post-rainfall surface strength.展开更多

文摘During electrochemical machining(ECM),the passivation film formed on the surface of titanium alloy can lead to uneven dissolution and pitting.Solid particle erosion can effectively remove this passivation film.In this paper,the electrochemical dissolution behavior of Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V(TA15)titanium alloy at without particle impact,low(15°)and high(90°)angle particle impact was investigated,and the influence of Al_(2)O_(3)particles on ECM was systematically expounded.It was found that under the condition of no particle erosion,the surface of electrochemically processed titanium alloy had serious pitting corrosion due to the influence of the passivation film,and the surface roughness(Sa)of the local area reached 10.088μm.Under the condition of a high-impact angle(90°),due to the existence of strain hardening and particle embedding,only the edge of the surface is dissolved,while the central area is almost insoluble,with the surface roughness(S_(a))reaching 16.086μm.On the contrary,under the condition of a low-impact angle(15°),the machining efficiency and surface quality of the material were significantly improved due to the ploughing effect and galvanic corrosion,and the surface roughness(S_(a))reached 2.823μm.Based on these findings,the electrochemical dissolution model of TA15 titanium alloy under different particle erosion conditions was established.

文摘Soil erosion is the primary factor causing the loss of soil resources and land degradation.Clarifying the current status of soil erosion in China and the characteristics of future changes under different pathways of development is important to the global management of soil resources,food security,and ecosystem services.We used the revised universal soil loss equation and the most recent and reliable soil and environmental data to characterize soil erosion in China at present and under typical Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and Representative Concentration Pathways(i.e.,SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5)in the medium-and long-term future(2050 and 2100).The current average rate of soil erosion in China was 14.78 t ha^(-1)yr^(-1),with a total amount of about 14.0 Pg yr^(-1).The amount of total erosion increased by 5.0%,10.8%,9.9%,and 25.9%for scenarios 2050_SSP1–2.6,2050_SSP5–8.5,2100_SSP1–2.6,and 2100_SSP5–8.5,respectively,compared to the baseline amount in 2010.The contribution of climate change and land use to the increase in erosion ranged from 9.5%to 31.5%and-6.95%to-1.78%,respectively,with the contribution of climate change about 2.36-to 7.54-fold larger than the contribution of land use.Converting arable barren land into forest and grassland or adopting conservation tillage practices for farmland,could nevertheless effectively offset the increase in erosion under the four future scenarios.This study provides data and a scientific basis for managing soil erosion in China and provides a useful reference for conserving global land resources and formulating policies to cope with climatic and environmental changes.

文摘Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental issues constraining the sustainable development of human society and economies.Soil compound erosion is the result of the alternation or interaction between two or more erosion forces.In recent years,fluctuations and extreme changes in climatic factors(air temperature,precipitation,wind speed,etc.)have led to an increase in the intensity and extent of compound erosion,which is increasingly considered in soil erosion research.First,depending on the involvement of gravity,compound erosion process can be divided into compound erosion with and without gravity.We systematically summarized the research on the mechanisms and processes of alternating or interacting soil erosion forces(wind,water,and freeze-thaw)considering different combinations,combed the characteristics of compound erosion in three typical regions,namely,high-elevation areas,high-latitude areas,and dry and wet transition regions,and reviewed soil compound erosion research methods,such as station observations,simulation experiments,prediction models,and artificial neural networks.The soil erosion model of wind,water,and freeze-thaw interaction is the most significant method for quantifying and predicting compound erosion.Furthermore,it is proposed that there are several issues such as unclear internal mechanisms,lack of comprehensive prediction models,and insufficient scale conversion methods in soil compound erosion research.It is also suggested that future soil compound erosion mechanism research should prioritize the coupling of compound erosion forces and climate change.

文摘In the past few decades,ion engines have been widely used in deep-space propulsion and satellite station-keeping.The aim of extending the thruster lifetime is still one of the most important parts during the design stage of ion engine.As one of the core components of ion engine,the grid assembly of ion optic systems may experience long-term ion sputtering in extreme electro-thermal environments,which will eventually lead to its structural and electron-backstreaming failures.In this paper,the current studies of the grid assembly erosion process are systematically analyzed from the aspects of sputtering damage process of grid materials,numerical simulations,and measurements of erosion characteristics of grid assembly.The advantages and disadvantages of various erosion prediction models are highlighted,and the key factors and processes affecting the prediction accuracy of grid assembly erosion patterns are analyzed.Three different types of experimental methods of grid assembly erosion patterns are compared.The analysis in this paper is of great importance for selecting the sputter-resistant grid materials,as well as establishing the erosion models and measurement methods to accurately determine the erosion rate and failure modes of grid assembly.Consequently,the working conditions and structure parameters of ion optic systems could be optimized based on erosion models to promote the ion engine lifetime.
文摘The increased erosion of mangrove forests has alarmed the government about the damage to both the economy and livelihoods.To evaluated forest and land erosion the coast.Based on survey data is divided into five levels(F1:no erosion;F2:little erosion;F3:moderate erosion;F4:high erosion;F5:strong erosion),and ecological conditions,the coast is divided into sub-regions for investigation.From the surveyed indicators at each erosion level,forest structure is analyzed for comparison.The erosion level is defined as an erosion function(Er)from 1 to 5(+),where(1)parameters include the number of trees per hectare(Ntr/ha),height to top(Ht),trunk diameter at 1.3 m(D1.3),tree canopy diameter(Dc),and width of the forest range(Wf);(2)land erosion is a function(Erl=Erlte+Erlsa+Erlsi+Erlcl),with parameters including erosion by terrain(Erlte),sand(Erlsa),silt(Erlsi),and clay(Erlcl);and(3)climate change leading to erosion is an inverse function(Cl)from 1 to 5(-),with parameters including erosion by rainfall(Clra),wind(Clwi),waves(Clwa),and tide(Clti).The resulting function output is Er=(Erf+Erl)-Cl.On eroded forest land,species were tested under climate change conditions and their growth in the next rainy season to assess survival rates affected by rainfall,waves,wind,and tides.These results help to plan planting mangrove forest anti-erosion models and construct a theoretical function of mangrove erosion and proposes restore forests using pioneer species.

文摘Vegetation plays a major role in soil protection against erosion effects,and studies have also highlighted its importance in retaining sediments from roadside slopes.Yet,hydro-sedimentological studies under natural precipitation conditions are still scarce in semi-arid areas due to difficulties in monitoring the few and very concentrated precipitation events.Quantifying sediment connectivity and yield at watershed scale,often highly impacted by the erosion of unpaved roads,is necessary for management plans.This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of native vegetation on roadside slope segments in Caatinga biome in retaining sediments and conserving the soil in a semi-arid area of Brazil.Surface runoff,sediment concentration,and yield measurements were measured from 34 natural precipitation events in four years on two slopes with and without vegetation.The runoff coefficients of the plot with no vegetation varied from 3.0%to 58.0%,while in the vegetated plot,they showed variation from 1.0%to 21.0%.The annual specific sediment yield ranged from 4.6 to 138.7 kg/(hm^(2)•a)for the vegetated plot and from 34.9 to 608.5 kg/(hm^(2)•a)for the unvegetated one.These results indicate a 4 to 12 times higher soil loss on the unvegetated slope in relation to the vegetated one and demonstrate that natural Caatinga vegetation acts as an effective barrier against surface-transported sediments.Moreover,natural Caatinga vegetation present on the slope plays an important role in breaking connectivity between sediment flows from unpaved roads and the watershed drainage system.These findings indicate that investments in unpaved road and roadside slope restoration,not only enhance road infrastructure but also promote environmental gains by reducing the impact of erosion.
文摘This study evaluates the efficacy of sustainable erosion control using slag-based alkali-activated cement crusts under varying rainfall and wind conditions. The rainfall intensities ranged from 30 mm/h to 120 mm/h, with durations ranging from 15 min to 90 min, and crust slopes of ∼2° (gentle) and 30° (steep). Wind tunnel experiments were conducted at wind velocities of 14 m/s, 21 m/s, and 28 m/s to investigate post-rainfall wind erodibility, along with changes in crust strength and microstructure analysis. The findings show the development of hydrated cementitious phases in alkali-activated material, which form around and between the particles during the alkaline activation process. Alkali-activated cement crusts significantly reduced erosion caused by rainfall and subsequent wind by several orders of magnitude. At the highest rainfall intensity of 120 mm/h, rainfall erosion was measured to be 1654.81 kg/m2 for untreated samples and 0.89 kg/m2 for treated samples, demonstrating a substantial 99.95% reduction in erosion due to the treatment. Similarly, at the highest wind speed tested, wind erosion was 122.75 kg/m2 for untreated samples and 0.095 kg/m2 for treated samples, indicating a significant 99.92% reduction in erosion due to the formation of an alkali-activated cement crust on the soil surface. However, exposure of the samples to 120 mm/h rainfall for 90 min resulted in a 5.2-fold increase in wind erosion compared to pre-rainfall conditions. Similarly, penetrometer results indicated a 37%–54% reduction in post-rainfall surface strength.

文摘Carbon Carbon(C/C)composites in thermal-protection system are exposed to severe thermochemical ablation and mechanical erosion,and their thermal-protection performance is of vital importance to the structural safety and flight status of hypersonic vehicles.We numerically analyzes the mesoscopic ablation-erosion of C/C Composites with Inclined Fibers(CCIF).First,a thermochemical ablation model describing the reaction-diffusion coupled problem of C/C composites on mesoscale is employed to analyze ablative process,and the corresponding surface ablation morphology is obtained.Then,the ablation morphology of CCIF is taken as the geometrical model for mechanical erosion analysis,and their damage and failure behavior under high-speed airflow shear is analyzed by using progressive damage method.Moreover,the effects of fiber inclined angle and airflow direction on the mechanical erosion of CCIF are investigated,and the ablationerosion behavior is analyzed and discussed.The results show that the failure modes of mechanical erosion in inner and edge regions are obviously different,showing granular and block erosion phenomena respectively.The mechanical erosion of CCIF in the direction of reverse flow is easier than that in the direction of forward flow.These results can provide a theoretical basis for the design and optimization of thermal protection system materials.

文摘To address the challenges posed by tunnel construction in the alpine region,silica fume mixed concrete is commonly used as a construction material.The correlation between silica fume content and the lining life requires immediate investigation.In view of this phenomenon,the durability of unit lining concrete is predicted by analyzing three key indicators:carbonation depth,relative dynamic elastic modulus,and residual quality.This prediction is achieved by integrating the Entropy Weight Method,Grey theory life prediction model and BP artificial neural networks using data from tests and predictions of these indicators.Then,the Entropy Weight-Grey theory-BP Network Model is compared with other methods to analyze the predicted life.Finally,verify the sci-entificity of this model,and the optimum silica fume content of unit concrete lining is verified.The results showed,1)The addition of silica fume will accelerate the carbonization of unit concrete lining,and slow down the freeze-thaw cycle and sulfate erosion.2)The utilization of artificial neural networks is essential for enhancing the realism of the data,as it emphasizes the significance of silica fume content.3)Silica fume content of 10%results in the longest life and is the most suitable for lining construction.4)A comparison between single-factor and multi-factor predictions indicates that the multi-factor approach yields a longer maximum life.This improvement can be attributed to the inclusion of additional factors,such as freeze-thaw cycles and carbonation,which enhance the predicted life when employing these methods.In conclusion,the Entropy Weight-Grey Theory-BP Network life prediction Model is well-suited for tunnel lining in the alpine sulfate area of northwest China.

文摘A carcass is the innermost layer of a deep-sea unbonded flexible pipe,which is in direct contact with the gas/liquid-solid multi-phase flow.Considering that stress-accelerated erosion is common for carcasses,this study proposes a general model and simulation method for stress-accelerated erosion(SE)of carcasses under external water pressure.First,an SE model suitable for 316 stainless steel was developed,which was then used for stress-erosion simulation for an external pressurized carcass,and the solid domain,fluid domain and rough inner surface of the carcass were carefully considered.Moreover,a simplified model(equivalent smooth pipe)was also established on the basis of the main geometric characteristics of the carcass,and the stress-erosion characteristics under different operating conditions,including the effects of the elastic stress level,flow velocity,particle diameter and concentration,were carefully compared,and the key factors governing the elastic stress-erosion of the carcass were discussed.Finally,a modified geometry factor(GF)for carcasses was proposed considering the stress acceleration effect.

文摘The study aims to investigate the carbonated water erosion mechanism of lining concrete in tunnels traversing karst environment and enhance its resistance.In this study,dynamic carbonated water erosion was simulated to assess erosion depth,microstructure,phase migrations,and pore structure in various tunnel lining cement-based materials.Additionally,Ca^(2+)leaching was analyzed,and impact of Ca/Si molar ratio in hydration products on erosion resistance was discussed by thermodynamic calculations.The results indicate that carbonated water erosion caused rough and porous surface on specimens,with reduced portlandite and CaCO_(3) content,increased porosity,and an enlargement of pore size.The thermodynamic calculations indicate that the erosion is spontaneous,driven by physical dissolution and chemical reactions dominated by Gibbs free energy.And the erosion reactions proceed more spontaneously and extensively when Ca/Si molar ratio in hydration products was higher.Therefore,cement-based materials with higher portlandite content exhibit weaker erosion resistance.Model-building concrete,with C-S-H gel and portlandite as primary hydration products,has greater erosion susceptibility than shotcrete with ettringite as main hydration product.Moreover,adding silicon-rich mineral admixtures can enhance the erosion resistance.This research offers theory and tech insights to boost cement-based material resistance against carbonated water erosion in karst tunnel engineering.
文摘To verify the wear resistance and erosion resistance of Ti-doped Ta_(2)O_(5)coating(TTO),a series of TTOs were prepared by magnetron sputtering technology by controlling the power of the Ti target.The change of growth structure,microstructure,and tribological properties of TTOs with Ti target power was studied.After the erosion test,the variation of erosion damage behavior of TTOs with mechanical properties under different erosion conditions was further studied.The results show that the TTOs eliminate the roughness,voids,and defects in the material due to the mobility of the adsorbed atoms during the growth process,and a flat and dense smooth surface is obtained.Tribological tests show that the TTOs are mainly characterized by plastic deformation and microcrack wear mechanism.Higher Ti target power can improve the wear resistance of TTOs.Erosion test results reveal that the impact crater,furrow,micro-cutting,brittle spalling,and crack formation are the main wear mechanisms of the TTOs samples under erosion conditions.

文摘Soil erosion(SE)is a critical form of land degradation that significantly threatens the health of terrestrial ecosystems worldwide.The Qinba Mountains represent a vital geo-ecological transition zone in China.Therefore,analyzing the dynamics of SE in relation to climate changes and land use/cover(LULC)change is essential for guiding ecological conservation efforts in this region.The soil erosion intensity(SEI)from 2001 to 2020 was estimated using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation(RUSLE).For the period of 2021–2040,SEI projections were made based on CMIP6 data,utilizing the Statistical Downscaling Model alongside the CA-Markov model.Variations in SEI under four distinct shared socio-economic pathways were compared.Additionally,statistical methods were employed to evaluate the long-term impacts of climate and LULC change on SE.Findings indicate that between 2021and 2040,both precipitation and rainfall erosivity are expected to increase by approximately 8%–12%and 3%–14%,respectively.Based on differing socio-economic pathways,the soil erosion rate(SER)is predicted to rise by 12%–32%,with SSP2-4.5 anticipated to result in the highest SER.An analysis of contributing factors revealed that precipitation intensity and total precipitation are likely to escalate SE,while elevated temperatures may mitigate it.Among all types of LULC,barren land is particularly susceptible to erosion and remains a priority for conservation.The generated SEI maps will aid in promoting sustainable land use and provide crucial support for mitigating ecological risks from climate change.

文摘Soil erosion is one of the major global hazards threatening the food security of the world population.Soil erosion can be a result of both natural and anthropogenic processes.Field monitoring and models(numerical and physical)are commonly used to quantify soil erosion.However,field methods are time-consuming and the models inherently work with a level of uncertainty.Soil erosion studies in the Himalayas have been mostly carried out using modelling but there is a lack of sufficient field data to validate the results.We quantified soil erosion in a small catchment(Pranmati)in the Himalayas using the fallout meteoric^(10)Be nuclide for the first time.Based on the^(10)Be flux delivery rates determined from global circulation models(GCM),we calculated the rates of soil erosion at discrete points in the hilltop and mid-slope regions of hillslopes.The erosion rates vary between 17 mm kyr^(-1)to 68 mm kyr^(-1).These rates were determined in pristine areas that are unaffected by anthropogenic activities,thus,indicate the background erosion rates in the region.We established empirical relationships with estimated erosion rates and topographic parameters to assess the sediment dynamics in the hillslopes.It was observed that the sediment redistribution process operates differently in the mid-slope region compared to the hilltop region,due to increasing complexity of the active processes in the mid-slope region.

文摘The topographic factor(LS factor),derived from the multiplication of the slope length(L)and slope steepness(S)factors,is a vital parameter in soil erosion models.Generated from the digital elevation model(DEM),the LS factor always varies with the changing DEM resolution,i.e.,the LS factor scale effect.Previous studies have found the phenomenon of the LS factor scale effect,but the underlying causes of this phenomenon has not been well explored.Therefore,how the DEM resolution affects the LS factor and how the scale effect of the L and S factors influence the LS factor scale effect remains unclear.To address these problems,we collected 20 watersheds from the Guangdong Province with different topographic reliefs,and compared the corresponding L,S and LS factors at 10-m and 30-m resolution DEMs.Our results indicate that the S factor,heavily influenced by slope underestimation in coarse-resolution DEMs,makes a difference in the LS factor scale effect.In addition,the LS factor scale effect becomes less significant with increasing reliefs,suggesting the possibility of using 30-m DEM for LS calculation in rugged terrains.Our findings on the underlying mechanisms of the LS factor scale effect help to identify the uncertainty in the LS factor estimation,thereby enhancing the accuracy of soil erosion assessment,particularly in regions with different topographic characteristics and contribute to more effective soil conservation strategies and decision-making.

文摘The particle size distribution plays a crucial role in the transportation and deposition of eroded sediments.Gaining insights into the related sorting mechanism can significantly enhance our understanding of such processes.In this study,sand-covered slopes were examined.A controlled indoor rainfall simulation was conducted on loess slopes with a 12°incline and a rainfall intensity of 1.5 mm/min.These slopes were then covered with sand layers of varying thicknesses—0.5,1.0,and 1.5 cm—to observe their effects.The findings have revealed that as the thickness of the sand cover increases,the content of sediment particles smaller than 0.054 mm decreases.In contrast,the content of particles larger than 0.054 mm increases after the sixth minute of runoff.The eroded sediment was predominantly composed of silt.During the inter-rill erosion stage,runoff primarily transported particles larger than 0.054 mm.However,in the subsequent rill erosion and combined rill and inter-rill erosion stages,the runoff predominantly carried finer particles,smaller than 0.054 mm.Moreover,the presence of the sand layer significantly influenced the size and form of the eroded sediment particles.Initially,during the first 10 min of runoff,the eroded particles were predominantly larger than 0.054 mm.After this period,however,the particle size shifted,with the majority of particles being smaller than 0.054 mm.This study highlights the intricate relationship between sediment sorting,the thickness of sand covers,and the dynamics of sediment transport under rainfall-induced erosion.

文摘In this study,the pure erosion behaviour of pure iron and its erosion-corrosion behaviour under different anodic polarization currents were investigated in various cathodic reactions(oxygen reduction,hydrogen ion reduction,and water reduction)using a cylindrical stirring system.The corrosion-enhanced erosion(C-E)rates were determined for each condition.The results revealed that pure iron displayed similar pure erosion behaviour across all three cathodic reactions.When the cathodic reactions involve hydrogen ion reduction or water reduction,the erosion-corrosion of pure iron manifested as uniform damage,with the reduction in hardness being the main cause of the C-E in this case.Conversely,in the case of oxy-gen reduction reaction as the cathodic reaction,the erosion-corrosion presented as pitting damage,with the reduction in hardness resulting from localized concentration of anodic current and the formation of easily worn protruding flaky iron structures at the edges of the pits as the main mechanism of the C-E.Moreover,linear and exponential relationships were found between the C-E rate and the anodic current density for uniform damage and pitting damage,respectively.Finally,the concept of surface equivalent hardness was proposed,along with the establishment of a mathematical model for surface equivalent hardness based on the relationships between the C-E rate and the anodic current density.Utilizing the surface equivalent hardness enables the evaluation of the erosion rate on material surfaces considering the coupled effect.

文摘Shoreline erosion has been a pernicious problem facing many countries around the world.It causes the degradation and vulnerability of coastal eco-environments,and imposes considerable pressures upon coastal economic,social developments in the context of climate change and sea-level rising.The muddy coast of the abandoned Yellow River delta at Binhai,Jiangsu Province,China has experienced chronic erosion since 1855 when the Yellow River avulsed to north China.A variety of hard structures,that is,seawall,groin,jetty,breakwater,and so forth were emplaced and reinforced to withstand the shoreline retreat and concomitant beach loss.These engineering solutions have been proved unsuccessful or ineffective in their objectives.An overview is presented on the multi-decadal defense endeavors with technical lessons and management implications learnt.A SHIAA(site-specific,holistic,integrative,adaptive,affordable)tenet is put forward to achieve the sustainability in a coastal erosion mitigation scheme.The merit and limitation of nature-based solutions(NBS)applied in coastal protection is further discussed.

文摘Erosion in slurry pumps presents a persistent challenge in industrial applications.This study examines the erosion of the static components of a 150ZJ-C42 centrifugal slurry pump,currently in operation at a beneficiation plant,under varying particle conditions.Utilizing high-precision three-dimensional reverse engineering,the pump’s flow passage geometry was reconstructed to facilitate detailed erosion analysis.Focusing on the front and rear baffles of the pump chamber,as well as the volute,erosion patterns were analyzed for different particle volume concentrations and sizes.The results reveal that the highest erosion damage consistently occurs near the volute tongue,with wear being most severe in regions adjacent to the partition plate near the rear cover.Erosion damage intensity in this area correlates positively with particle diameter.Notably,the average erosion rate in the volute surpasses that of the front and rear chamber liners,reaching a value as high as 6.03×10^(-7)kg·m^(-2)·s^(-1)at a particle concentration of 9%and diameter of 0.1 mm,adversely impacting pump stability.For the pump chamber baffles,increased erosion is observed at a particle diameter of 0.05 mm under constant volume concentration conditions,while higher particle concentrations exacerbate localized erosion.
