The coastal current systems affecting the sediment dispersal mainly include: the Taiwan Warm Current (TWC), the Huanghai Sea Mixed Water (HSMW), North Jiangsu near-shore current, and Zhejiang near-shore current etc. In winter, the current systems are stable. Their distribution affects the sediment from north Jiangsu expanding toward the Changjiang estuary in some degree .The front between Zhejiang coastal current and TWC blocks the expanding of sediment toward the sea. In the flood season, apart from the limitation by coastal current systems, the spatial and temporal distribution of suspended sediment is also affected by the runoff, which shows as the jet stream and fresh water. Spring and autumn are the transitional periods of the forming of expanding patterns of flood season and winter respectively. In addition, the re-suspended sediment caused by the wind wave may make the expanding range of near-shore sediment larger.展开更多

The pipelines become suspended in the river with flushing of floodwater. If the frequency of vortex shedding is near to the nature frequency of pipelines, it will cause resonance of the suspended pipeline and result in the damage of pipelines. In this paper, the buried parts of pipeline in soil are treated as the half unlimited long beam placed on the elastic foundations. The vibration partial differential equations of suspended pipe and the parts buried in soil are derived respectively. The iterative calculation method is then presented. The results obtained from the suggested method are proved to be identical with the measured values.展开更多

They were assimilated with the measured data in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007, using the tidal range's proportion conversion. Variations in TCD and TCV, preferential flow and SSC have been calculated. Influences of typical engineering projects such as Qingcaosha fresh water reservoir, Yangtze River Bridge, and land reclamation on the ebb and flood TCD, TCV and SSC in the North Channel for the last 10 years are discussed. The results show that: (1) currently, in the upper part of North Channel, the ebb tide dominates; after the construction of the typical projects, ebb TCD and TCV tends to be larger and the vertical average ebb and flood SSC decrease during the flood season while SSC increases during the dry season; (2) changes in the vertical average TCV are mainly contributed by seasonal runoff variation during the flood season, which is larger in the flood season than that in the dry season; the controlling parameters of increasing ebb TCD and TCV are those large-scale engineering projects in the North Channel; variation in SSC may result mainly from the reduction of basin annual sediment loads, large-scale nearshore projects and so on.展开更多

文摘Ocean remote sensing satellites provide observations with high spatiotemporal resolution.However,the influence of clouds,fog,and haze frequently leads to significant data gaps.Accurate and effective estimation of these missing data is highly valuable for engineering and scientific research.In this study,the radial basis function(RBF)method is used to estimate the spatial distribution of total suspended matter(TSM)concentration in Hangzhou Bay using remote sensing data with severe data gaps.The estimation precision is validated by comparing the results with those of other commonly used interpolation methods,such as the Kriging method and the basic spline(B-spline)method.In addition,the applicability of the RBF method is explored.Results show that the estimation of the RBF method is significantly close to the observation in Hangzhou Bay.The average of the mean absolute error,mean relative error,and root mean square error in all the experiments is evidently smaller than those of the Kriging and B-spline interpolations,indicating that the proposed method is more appropriate for estimating the spatial distribution of the TSM in Hangzhou Bay.Finally,the TSM distribution in the blank observational area is predicted.This study can provide some reference values for handling watercolor remote sensing data.

文摘The concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs),their sources and toxic equivalent(TEQ)in soil,suspended matter and bottom sediments in the Fatala River Basin ecosystem were obtained for the fi rst time to our knowledge.Determination of 14 PAHs(ΣPAHs)was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography.TheΣPAH content in soil ranged from 13 to 50,920(Me=820)ng/g.The composition of PAHs(high proportion of low-molecular-weight compounds and values of individual PAHs ratios)refl ected the signifi cant oil pollution of soil.Contaminated soil was localated in the central part of the Fatala River Basin.The median benzo(a)pyrene toxic equivalent of soil at the study site was 1.08(range,0.05 to 53.16)ngTEQ/g,showing generally low soil toxicity.TheΣPAH content in suspended matter was in the range of 33 to 1316(Me=309)ng/L.TheΣPAH content in bottom sediments ranged from 36 to 6943(Me=478)ng/L,corresponding to clean and moderately contaminated sediments.TheΣPAH content in bottom sediments depended on the anthropogenic impact on the Fatala River Basin territory and the bottom sediment features.Bottom sediments and suspended matter had a low toxic equivalent.
文摘According to some main assumptions in the Rouse Formula,it analyzes the applicability of Rouse distribution in the coastal region.Based on the classical Rouse Formula,the linear form of Rouse Formula and the transport characteristics of offshore sediment were used to take lnz/h,lnc_(a),c_(a),u,lnu and z/h as the independent variables.The multiple liner regression method was used to analyze the influence of the independent variables on the vertical distribution of sediment concentration.By using the method of significance test,the factors(ln𝑢)that have less influence on sediment concentration among 6 variables were eliminated.The correlation coefficient between the calculated sediment concentration and the measured sediment concentration indicates that the adopted variables can reflect the characteristics of vertical distribution of concentration of fine sediment near shore under complex dynamic conditions.

文摘This paper proposes an attitude control strategy for a flexible satellite equipped with an orthogonal cluster of three-dimensional(3D)magnetically suspended wheels(MSWs).The mathematical model for the satellite incorporating flexible appendages and an orthogonal cluster of magnetically suspended reaction wheel actuators is initially developed.After that,an adaptive attitude controller is designed with a switching surface of variable structure,an adaptive law for estimating inertia matrix uncertainty,and a fuzzy disturbance observer for estimating disturbance torques.Additionally,a Moore-Penrose-based steering law is proposed to derive the tilt angle commands of the orthogonal configuration of the 3D MSW to follow the designed control signal.Finally,numerical simulations are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘Nanoscale light sources with high speed of electrical modulation and low energy consumption are key components for nanophotonics and optoelectronics.The record-high carrier mobility and ultrafast carrier dynamics of graphene make it promising as an atomically thin light emitter which can be further integrated into arbitrary platforms by van der Waals forces.However,due to the zero bandgap,graphene is difficult to emit light through the interband recombination of carriers like conventional semiconductors.Here,we demonstrate ultrafast thermal light emitters based on suspended graphene/hexagonal boron nitride(Gr/hBN)heterostructures.Electrons in biased graphene are significantly heated up to 2800 K at modest electric fields,emitting bright photons from the near-infrared to the visible spectral range.By eliminating the heat dissipation channel of the substrate,the radiation efficiency of the suspended Gr/hBN device is about two orders of magnitude greater than that of graphene devices supported on SiO2or hBN.Wefurther demonstrate that hot electrons and low-energy acoustic phonons in graphene are weakly coupled to each other and are not in full thermal equilibrium.Direct cooling ofhigh-temperature hot electrons to low-temperature acoustic phonons is enabled by the significant near-field heat transfer at the highly localized Gr/hBN interface,resulting in ultrafast thermal emission with up to 1 GHz bandwidth under electrical excitation.It is found thatsuspending the Gr/hBN heterostructures on the SiO2trenches significantly modifies the light emission due to the formation of the optical cavity and showed a~440%enhancement inintensity at the peak wavelength of 940 nm compared to the black-body thermal radiation.The demonstration of electrically driven ultrafast light emission from suspended Gr/hBNheterostructures sheds the light on applications of graphene heterostructures in photonicintegrated circuits,such as broadband light sources and ultrafast thermo-optic phase modulators.

文摘Natural radionuclides are powerful tools for understanding the sources and fate of suspended particulate matter(SPM).Particulate matter with different particle sizes behaves differently with respect to adsorption and desorption.We analyzed the activi-ties and distribution characteristics of multiple natural radionuclides(238U,226Ra,40K,228Ra,7Be and 210Pbex)on size-fractionated SPM at the Lijin Hydrographic Station(Huanghe or Yellow River)every month over a one-year period.Results showed that medium silt(16–32µm)was the main component.As expected,the activity of each radionuclide decreased with an increase of particle size.We examined the sources of SPM with different particle sizes using activity ratios of 226Ra/238U,228Ra/226Ra,40K/238U and 7Be/210Pbex,and concluded that SPM with different particle sizes originated from different sources.Our results indicate that fine SPM(<32µm)was mainly from the erosion of soil along the lower reaches of the Yellow River,while coarse SPM(>32µm)was mainly derived from resuspension of riverbed sediment.During high runoff periods,the concentration of SPM increased significantly,and the pro-portion of fine particles originating upstream increased.Naturally occurring radioactive isotopes,especially on size-fractionated par-ticles,are therefore seen as useful tracers to understand the sources and behaviors of riverine particles transported from land to sea.

文摘Global carbon cycle has received extensive attention,among which the river-estuary system is one of the important links connecting the carbon cycle between land and ocean.In this paper,the distribution and control factors of particulate organic carbon(POC)were studied by using the data of organic carbon contents and its carbon isotopic composition(δ13C)in the mainstream and estuary of Passur River in the Sundarbans area,combined with the hydrological and biological data measured by CTD.The results show that POC content ranged from 0.263 mg/L to 9.292 mg/L,and the POC content in the river section(averaged 4.129 mg/L)was significantly higher than that in the estuary area(averaged 0.858 mg/L).Two distinct stages of POC transport from land to sea in the Sundarbans area were identified.The first stage occurred in the river section,where POC distribution was mainly controlled by the dynamic process of runoff and the organic carbon was mainly terrestrial source.The second stage occurred during estuarine mixing,where the POC distribution was mainly controlled by the mixing process of seawater and freshwater.The source of POC was predominantly marine and exhibiting vertical differences.The surface and middle layers were primarily influenced by marine sources,while the bottom layer was jointly controlled by terrestrial and marine sources of organic carbon.These findings are of great significance for understanding the carbon cycle in such a large mangrove ecosystem like the Sundarbans mangrove.

文摘The present study aimed to evaluate multi-element concentrations(Al,As,Ca,Cd,Co,Cr,Cu,Fe,Mg,Mn,Mo,Ni,Pb,Sr)in suspended particulate material(SPM)collected from Ensenada de La Paz(ELP)lagoon,Baja California Sur,Mexico in two different periods(September and May)to comprehend their origin,geochemical behavior,mass transfer and associated ecotoxicological risks.The 24 hr variation coefficient of volumetric SPM levels were found to be 51.7%in September and 40.5%in May,signifying the effects of oceanic waters.The calculated enrichment factor(EF)values for all the studied elements were of higher magnitude because of the high surface area and oxide nature of SPM,and in this study,Mo had the highest EF of 46.77 probably due to its origin from continental weathering.From the ecotoxicological perspective,the integrated toxic risk index revealed low toxic risk to the benthic community.However,the mean-ERM-Quotient calculated using the particulate concentrations of As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb indicated 9%probability of toxicity to biota.The comprehensive geochemical and ecotoxicological assessment of particulate metal concentrations in the ELP lagoon signify low to moderate contamination.

文摘Particle size is an important characteristic of suspended matter,and it contains crucial information about the deposition process.Suspended particle samples in the water mixing zone of the Changjiang River Estuary were collected in December 2016.Untreated original grain size and the decentralized grain size of the suspended particles were measured via a laser particle size analyzer.Morphological characteristics and the chemical composition of the suspended particles were also studied systematically using a scanning electron microscope(SEM)with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDS).Then,the flocculation and sedimentation of suspended matter in the water mixing zone were explored by combining them with the water mixing processes in the estuary.The average particle size of suspended matter in the mixing zone of the Changjiang River Estuary ranges fromФ5.73 toФ7.98.The particle size distribution pattern is an abnormal model with a mainly unimodal pattern.In the freshwater area that was dominated by runoff,the suspended matter is mainly composed of fine particles,the settling velocity is slow,and the flocculation is weak.Floc particles were often seen in the mixing zone,with the flocs having a relatively large particle size,a low density and a loose structure appearing at the weak mixing zone;the flocs had a compacted structure in most areas of the mixing zone.The changes of suspended particle size in the estuarine mixing zone promote the settling and deposition of suspended matter,which has an important influence on the bed geomorphology and preservation of the fine suspended particles in the estuary.
文摘This paper, with NOAA/AHHRR data for 2 years, discusses the expanding path and extent of suspended sediment from the Changjiang River, and the relationship between the suspended sediment expanding and coastal current systems by analyzing the thermal infrared imagery with the sediment imagery, which is acquired by correlating the atmosphere corrected AVHRR imagery with in-situ suspended sediment data. The coastal current systems affecting the sediment dispersal mainly include: the Taiwan Warm Current (TWC), the Huanghai Sea Mixed Water (HSMW), North Jiangsu near-shore current, and Zhejiang near-shore current etc. In winter, the current systems are stable. Their distribution affects the sediment from north Jiangsu expanding toward the Changjiang estuary in some degree .The front between Zhejiang coastal current and TWC blocks the expanding of sediment toward the sea. In the flood season, apart from the limitation by coastal current systems, the spatial and temporal distribution of suspended sediment is also affected by the runoff, which shows as the jet stream and fresh water. Spring and autumn are the transitional periods of the forming of expanding patterns of flood season and winter respectively. In addition, the re-suspended sediment caused by the wind wave may make the expanding range of near-shore sediment larger.
文摘The buried pipelines are widely used in oil transportation. The pipelines become suspended in the river with flushing of floodwater. If the frequency of vortex shedding is near to the nature frequency of pipelines, it will cause resonance of the suspended pipeline and result in the damage of pipelines. In this paper, the buried parts of pipeline in soil are treated as the half unlimited long beam placed on the elastic foundations. The vibration partial differential equations of suspended pipe and the parts buried in soil are derived respectively. The iterative calculation method is then presented. The results obtained from the suggested method are proved to be identical with the measured values.

文摘In order to simplify the fabrication process,distribute the temperature uniformly and reduce the power consumption of the micro-hotplate(MHP) gas sensor,a planar-type gas sensor based on SnO2 thin film with suspended structure is designed through a MEMS process.Steady-state thermal analysis of the gas sensor and the closed membrane type sensor where the membrane overlaps the Si substrate is carried out with the finite element model,and it is shown that the suspended planar-type gas sensor has a more homogeneous temperature distribution and a lower power consumption.When the maximum temperature on the sensor reaches 383℃,the power consumption is only 7 mW,and the temperature gradient across the thin film is less than 14℃.To overcome the fragility of the suspended beams,a novel fabrication process in which the deposition of the gas sensing film occurs prior to the formation of suspended beams is proposed.The back side of the Si substrate is etched through deep reactive ion etching(DRIE) to avoid chemical pollution of the front side.The fabrication steps in which only four masks are used for the photolithography are described in detail.The Fe doped SnO2 thin film synthesized by sol-gel spin-coating is used as the gas sensing element.The device is tested on hydrogen and exhibits satisfactory sensing performance.The sensitivity increases with the rise of the concentration from 50×10-6 to 2000×10-6,and reaches about 30 at 2000×10-6.
文摘Based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA, the dynamics analysis software, and using nonlinear dynamic finite element method, the process of a submarine pipeline impacted by dropped objects is simulated, Some conclusions are drawn: First, the damage depth of suspended pipe is smaller than that of the bare pipe in case of the same fall energy, and with the increase of fall energy, the difference grows; Second, with the falling object's speed and mass rising, the deformation of pipeline intensifies at the impact site and the maximum vibration amplitude of submarine pipeline increases; Third, when the fall energy is equal, the smaller the contact area of falling objects and pipeline is, the greater the damage depth of pipeline becomes; Fourth, changes of seabed soil parameters (shear elastic modulus, internal friction angle, density) have less influence on the suspended pipeline's dent depths and maximum vibration amplitude,
文摘The tidal current duration (TCD) and velocity (TCV) and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were measured in the dry season in December, 2011 and in the flood season in June, 2012 at the upper part of the North Channel of Changjiang Estuary. They were assimilated with the measured data in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007, using the tidal range's proportion conversion. Variations in TCD and TCV, preferential flow and SSC have been calculated. Influences of typical engineering projects such as Qingcaosha fresh water reservoir, Yangtze River Bridge, and land reclamation on the ebb and flood TCD, TCV and SSC in the North Channel for the last 10 years are discussed. The results show that: (1) currently, in the upper part of North Channel, the ebb tide dominates; after the construction of the typical projects, ebb TCD and TCV tends to be larger and the vertical average ebb and flood SSC decrease during the flood season while SSC increases during the dry season; (2) changes in the vertical average TCV are mainly contributed by seasonal runoff variation during the flood season, which is larger in the flood season than that in the dry season; the controlling parameters of increasing ebb TCD and TCV are those large-scale engineering projects in the North Channel; variation in SSC may result mainly from the reduction of basin annual sediment loads, large-scale nearshore projects and so on.
文摘The data of SeaWiFS (Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor), installed on SeaStar, has been used to generate SSC (suspended sediment concentration) of complex and turbid coastal waters in China. In view of the problems of the SeaDAS (SeaWiFS Data Analysis System) algorithm applied to China coastal waters, a new atmospheric correction algorithm is discussed, developed, and used for the SSC of East China coastal waters. The advantages of the new algorithm are described through the comparison of the results from different algorithms.
