Four dimensionless independent variables and dimensionless time were derived from 10 influencing factors of the problem by using dimensional analysis. Simulations of horizontal well in reservoir with bottom water were run to find the prediction correlation. A general and concise functional relationship for predicting breakthrough time was established based on simulation results and theoretical analysis. The breakthrough time of one conceptual model predicted by the correlation is very close to the result by Eclipse with less than 2% error. The practical breakthrough time of one well in Helder oilfield is 10 d, and the predicted results by the method is 11.2 d, which is more accurate than the analytical result. Case study indicates that the method could predict breakthrough time of horizontal well under different reservoir conditions accurately. For its university and ease of use, the method is suitable for quick prediction of breakthrough time.展开更多

Accurate prediction of a protein＇s predisposition to be intrinsically disordered is a necessary prerequisite for the further understanding of principles and mechanisms of protein folding and function, and is a key for the elaboration of a new structural and functional hierarchy of proteins. Therefore, prediction of IDPs has attracted the attention of many researchers, and a number of prediction tools have been developed. Predictions of disorder, in turn, are playing major roles in directing laboratory experiments that are leading to the discovery of ever more disordered proteins, and thereby leading to a positive feedback loop in the investigation of these proteins. In this review of algorithms for intrinsic disorder prediction, the basic concepts of various prediction methods for IDPs are summarized, the strengths and shortcomings of many of the methods are analyzed, and the difficulties and directions of future development of IDP prediction techniques are discussed.展开更多

文摘By using the significance test of two-dimensional wind field anomalies and Monte Carlo simulation experiment scheme, the significance features of wind field anomalies are investigated in relation to flood/drought during the annually first rainy season in south China. Results show that westem Pacific subtropical high and wind anomalies over the northeast of Lake Baikal and central Indian Ocean are important factors. Wind anomalies over the northem India in January and the northwest Pacific in March may be strong prediction signals. Study also shows that rainfall in south China bears a close relation to the geopotential height filed over the northern Pacific in March.

文摘A new numerical technique named interval finite difference method is proposed for the steady-state temperature field prediction with uncertainties in both physical parameters and boundary conditions. Interval variables are used to quantitatively describe the uncertain parameters with limited information. Based on different Taylor and Neumann series, two kinds of parameter perturbation methods are presented to approximately yield the ranges of the uncertain temperature field. By comparing the results with traditional Monte Carlo simulation, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method for solving steady-state heat conduction problem with uncertain-but-bounded parameters.
文摘In this paper, on the basis of the heat conduction equation without consideration of the advection and turbulence effects, one-dimensional model for describing surface sea temperature ( T1), bottom sea temperature ( Tt ) and the thickness of the upper homogeneous layer ( h ) is developed in terms of the dimensionless temperature θT and depth η and self-simulation function θT - f(η) of vertical temperature profile by means of historical temperature data.The results of trial prediction with our one-dimensional model on T, Th, h , the thickness and gradient of thermocline are satisfactory to some extent.
文摘BP neural networks is used to mid-term earthquake prediction in this paper. Some usual prediction parameters of seismology are used as the import units of neural networks. And the export units of neural networks is called as the character parameter W_0 describing enhancement of seismicity. We applied this method to space scanning of North China. The result shows that the mid-term anomalous zone of W_0-value usually appeared obviously around the future epicenter 1~3 years before earthquake. It is effective to mid-term prediction.

文摘This paper proposes a new method for increasing the precision in survey sam- pling, i.e., a method combining sampling with prediction. The two cases where auxiliary information is or not available are considered. A numerical example is given.
文摘There are many long-term and short-term prediction methods of Total Electron Content(TEC)that need to be tested for each specific region.Recently,much attention has been paid to testing TEC models in high-,low-latitude and equatorial regions.This paper compares the TEC prediction methods in the midlatitude zone according to the data of the Juliusruh,Rostov,Manzhouli stations in 2008 and 2015.For a long-term prediction,the IRI-Plas and Ne Quick models are compared with the Global Ionospheric Maps(GIM)presented by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory(JPL)and the Technical University of Catalonia(UPC).For a short-term prediction,the Standard Persistence Model(SPM)method,a 27 day median model,and the proposed short-term prediction method are compared for one day ahead.It is shown that for all stations the IRI-Plas model provides better compliance with GIM maps than the Ne Quick model irrespective of a solar activity level.An average absolute error lays in the range of 3 e3.5 TECU,relative root square mean(RMS)error in the range of 22 e27%in 2015 and 1.7 e2 TECU,20 e25%in 2008.For the Ne Quick model,these estimates were 6.7 e8.2 TECU and 42 e45%in 2015 and 2.2 e3.6 TECU,30 e37%in2008.For the short-term forecast,the best results were obtained by the SPM method with an average absolute error in the range of 1.95 e2.15 TECU in 2015 and 0.59 e0.98 TECU in 2008,a relative RMS error in the range of 17 e21%in 2015,11.5 e15%in 2008.For the proposed short-term prediction method,these errors were 2.04 e2.2 TECU and 12 e14%in 2015 and 0.7 e1.0 TECU,7 e11%in 2008.Using medians,the errors were 3.1 e3.4 TECU and 17 e21%in 2015 and 1.0 e1.3 TECU,10 e15%in 2008.The dependence of results on the Dst-index was obtained.
