Effect of the Twin Jetties as A Regulating Structure at the Tao-er Estuary

The phase one project of the twin jetties at the Tao-er Estuary yields no effect on the flow, and there is a large area of deposition. A numerical model is employed to simulate the flow field, and the scouring and silting in the channel be-tween the two jetties are analyzed. The results show that the effective tidal flux between the two jetties is reduced due to the notch located at the heel of the east jetty, and the effect of contraction-flush is not obvious. As for the regulation of this kind of estuary under the tide action, the capability of tidal flux should be fully used.     

山东近岸海域海草种类的初步调查研究

海草是一类由陆生植物演化并适应海洋环境的沉水植物,其具有重要的生态学意义和经济价值。2008年7月,对山东近岸海域海草的种类进行了初步调查,描述了分布于山东近岸海域海草的形态学特征,并分析了山东近岸海域海草资源的现状及退化原因。调查共发现海草种类4种,分别为大叶藻(Zostera marina L.)、丛生大叶藻(Zostera caespitosa Miki)、红须根虾形藻(Phyllospadixi watensis Makino)及黑须根虾形藻(Phyllospadix japonicus Makino)。调查结果为进一步开展海草资源调查,恢复受损海草生物群落提供参考。     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Zostera marina</Emphasis> seed burial can be enhanced by Manila clam <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ruditapes philippinarum</Emphasis>: A microcosm study

Seagrass seed bank plays a key role in the regeneration of new vegetation when seagrasses are removed by the natural or man-made disaster. Various factors may affect the development of sediment seed bank. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the effects of burrowing and feeding activities of Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum on the burial of Zostera marina seeds in sediments. The effects of lasting time (3-hour, 1-day, 3-day, 7-day, 14-day and 28-day), clam density (0, 2, 4 and 8 clams with shell length of 3 cm in each microcosm) and clam size (shell length of 2, 3 and 4 cm at 4-clam density) on seed burial were examined in plastic microcosm cores (30 cm high × 10 in inner diameter) in a 28-day period. Results showed that the seed burial depth significantly increased with time, the density and the size of clams. No seeds were buried in the sediment in the cores without clams during the whole experiment period. For the 3-cm clams, about 91.61% of the seeds were buried in the sediment at the end of the experiment in the high-density treatment (8 clams at each core); while in the medium and low-density treatments (4 and 2 clams in each core, respectively), about 76.93% and 60.61% of the seeds were buried in the sediment, respectively. For the size treatments, large (4 cm) clams buried 89.56% of the seeds at the end of the experiment, much more than those of medium (3 cm, 76.93%) and small (2 cm, 61.50%) size clams. During the whole experiment period, nearly all of the buried seeds were at a depth of from 0 cm to 5 cm. These results suggested that Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum may play an important positive role in seagrass seed bank dynamics in the field.     

考虑加强转换层影响的橡胶支座隔震结构模型相似设计方法

缩尺结构模型振动台试验广泛用于评估橡胶支座隔震结构的抗震性能.在隔震结构缩尺模型设计时,通常会设置加强转换层来满足上部结构与隔震层的荷载传递要求.然而,加强转换层在满足受力、吊装与安装试验要求的同时会对模型结构的整体地震反应产生不可忽略的影响.文中提出了针对橡胶支座隔震结构缩尺模型的带加强转换层的简化模型,采用参数化分...     

甘肃北山地区晚第四纪构造变形特征及演化趋势

通过对甘肃北山地区ETM影像的细致分析和初步野外考察,对北山地区晚第四纪以来断裂活动时代和运动性质进行了研究。结合附近地区天山构造带、青藏高原北部边缘断裂的演化过程和区域构造应力场状态,对北山地区晚第四纪以来变形机制和演化趋势进行了研究。认为北山地区现今构造格局是在印度板块与欧亚板块相碰撞形成的北东向挤压构造应力场的作用下,重新激活东西向的晚古生代、中生代断裂,并产生北东向新生断裂而形成。晚第四纪以来,北山地区构造变形以南北向缩短为主,伴随有东西向伸展。随着印度板块的向北运移,北山地区的构造变形将进一步增强,即南北向缩短和东西向的扩展将进一步增强。     

Numerical Modeling on Suspended Sediment Transportation in the Hangzhou Bay

In this paper the characteristics of tidal flow and seasonal variation of seidment content in theHangzhou Bay and their affecting factors are studied.Field investigations and data analysis indicate thatthe sediment movement is mainly influenced by the Yangtze estuary and the sediment of the Yangtze estua-ry is induced by wind wave and tidal flow.Owing to the variation of dynamic conditions,the instanta-neous sediment content is controlled by tidal flow,wind wave,depth of water and tidal range synthetically.A sediment content relationship formula is established with related factors.A non-equilibrium2-dimensional numerical model of suspended sediment transportation is set up,and the finite element meth-od is applied.The computation results of the model is in accordance with field data.     

植被盖度对沙丘风沙流结构及风蚀量的影响

以科尔沁沙地不同植被盖度沙丘为研究对象，采用野外可移动风洞进行原位测试，开展了沙丘植被盖度对风沙流输沙率影响的研究，探讨了地表风蚀量与风速及植被盖度的关系。结果表明：空气动力学粗糙度随植被盖度增加先平缓后剧烈，与植被盖度相关关系呈三次函数增长。在各植被盖度下各层输沙率均随高度增加而递减，随风速增加而递增。同一植被盖度下风蚀量随风速增加而增大，符合幂函数或二次函数关系，但二次函数相关性更高。同一风速下风蚀量随植被盖度的增加呈阶梯式降低，在盖度小于27%时风蚀量平缓下降，盖度27%~43%时风蚀量急剧下降，盖度43%以上时风蚀量下降重新趋于平缓。相对截留率随风速增大而减小，随植被盖度增加而增大，沙丘草本植被盖度43%以上时具有较好的防风固沙效果，此时平均截留率达88.02%。
