Determination of minimum flood flow for regeneration of floodplain forest from inundated forest width-stage curve

Floods are essential for the regeneration and growth of floodplain forests in arid and semiarid regions. However, river flows, and especially flood flows, have decreased greatly with the increase of water diversion from rivers and/or reservoir regulation, resulting in severe deterioration of floodplain ecosystems. Estimation of the flood stage that will inundate the floodplain forest is necessary for the forest＇s restoration or protection. To balance water use for economic purposes and floodplain forest protection, the inundated forest width method is proposed for estimating the minimum flood stage for floodplain forests from the inundated forest width-stage curve. The minimum flood stage is defined as the breakpoint of the inundated forest width-stage curve, and is determined directly or analytically from the curve. For the analytical approach, the problem under consideration is described by a multi-objective optimization model, which can be solved by the ideal point method. Then, the flood flow at the minimum flood stage （minimum flood flow）, which is useful for flow regulation, can be calculated from the stage-discharge curve. In order to protect the forest in a river floodplain in a semiarid area in Xinjiang subject to reservoir regulation upstream, the proposed method was used to determine the minimum flood stage and flow for the forest. Field survey of hydrology, topography, and forest distribution was carried out at typical cross sections in the floodplain. Based on the survey results, minimum flood flows for six typical cross sections were estimated to be between 306 m3/s and 393 m3/s. Their maximum, 393 m3/s, was considered the minimum flood flow for the study river reach. This provides an appropriate flood flow for the protection of floodplain forest and can be used in the regulation of the upstream reservoir.

Debris Fan Produced by Failure of Canyon-Blocking Pyroclastic Flows

Ash-rich pyroclastic flows from the cataclysmic eruption of Mount Mazama (~7700 yr. B. P.), Cascade volcanic arc, Oregon, entered and blocked the narrow, bedrock-lined canyon of the Williamson River approximately 35 to 44 km from the source volcano. The blockage impounded a body of water which then released producing four stratigraphic units in the downstream debris fan. The four stratigraphic units are a boulder core comprised of locally sourced bedrock boulders and three sand-rich units including a fine-grained sand unit, a sandy pumice gravel (±basalt/hydrovolcanic tuff) unit, and a pumice pebble-bearing, crystal-rich sand unit. Hand-drilled auger holes up to ~1.6 m deep were used to obtain samples of the sand-rich units. Units were delimited using surface and down-hole observations, composition and texture, estimated density, statistical parameters of grain size, and vertical and lateral distribution of properties. Overtopping followed by rapid incision into the ash-rich pyroclastic flows progressively cleared the canyon, but a bedrock knickpoint near the head of the canyon limited the volume of debris available for transport to about 0.04 km3 to 0.08 km3. Co-deposition of bedrock boulders and lithic-rich sand was followed by rapid deposition with minimal reworking of remobilized pyroclastics. Continued draining of the impounded lake sent hyperconcentrated flows onto the debris fan depositing pumice-rich gravels that graded upward to crystal-rich sands.

Numerical simulation of pore-scale flow in chemical flooding process

Chemical flooding is one of the effective technologies to increase oil recovery of petroleum reservoirs after water flooding.Above the scale of representative elementary volume(REV), phenomenological modeling and numerical simulations of chemical flooding have been reported in literatures,but the studies alike are rarely conducted at the pore-scale,at which the effects of physicochemical hydrodynamics are hardly resolved either by experimental observations or by traditional continuum-based simulations.In this paper,dissipative particle dynamics(DPD),one of mesoscopic fluid particle methods,is introduced to simulate the pore-scale flow in chemical flooding processes.The theoretical background,mathematical formulation and numerical approach of DPD are presented.The plane Poiseuille flow is used to illustrate the accuracy of the DPD simulation,and then the processes of polymer flooding through an oil-wet throat and a water-wet throat are studies, respectively.The selected parameters of those simulations are given in details.These preliminary results show the potential of this novel method for modeling the physicochemical hydrodynamics at the pore scale in the area of chemical enhanced oil recovery.

Water flooding flowing area identification for oil reservoirs based on the method of streamline clustering artificial intelligence

For the case of carbonate reservoir water flooding development, the flow field identification method based on streamline modeling result was proposed. The Ocean for Petrel platform was used to build the plug-in that exported the streamline data, and the subsequent data was processed and clustered through Python programming, to display the flow field with different water flooding efficiencies at different time in the reservoir. We used density peak clustering as primary streamline cluster algorithm, and Silhouette algorithm as the cluster validation algorithm to select reasonable cluster number, and the results of different clustering algorithms were compared. The results showed that the density peak clustering algorithm could provide better identified capacity and higher Silhouette coefficient than K-means, hierachical clustering and spectral clustering algorithms when clustering coefficients are the same. Based on the results of streamline clustering method, the reservoir engineers can easily identify the flow area with quantification treatment, the inefficient water injection channels and area with developing potential in reservoirs can be identified. Meanwhile, streamlines between the same injector and producer can be subdivided to describe driving capacity distribution in water phase, providing useful information for the decision making of water flooding optimization, well pattern adjustment and deep profile modification.

Anti-flooding of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell with in-plate adverse-flow flow-field

The stoichiometric ratios and related regimes, which can promote anti-flooding of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with in-plate adverse-flow flow-field (IPAF), were investigated. Two flow combinations, which are the simple and complex adverse-flow between plates (ABP) that can be realized by IPAF, were employed. Constant stoichiometric ratios examination indicates that the complex ABP could improve anti-flooding of PEMFC better in the medium (greater than 200 mA/cm2 and less than 1 000 mA/cm2 ) and high (greater than 1 000 mA/cm2 ) current densities than the simple ABP. More stoichiometric ratios were introduced to find the cathode critical stoichiometry. Under the condition of cathode critical stoichiometry, the maximal local relative humidity of both electrodes of complex ABP is equal to 100% and below while the anti-flooding of the cathode of simple ABP is not satisfactory in the medium and high current densities. Further study shows that the mechanism of fuel cell, which is the interdependence between the electrodes effect, can make significant contribution to anti-flooding.

Analysis of Flood Risks Upstream from the Imboulou Hydroelectric Dam on the Léfini River, a Tributary of the Right Bank of the Congo River

The analysis of the risk of flooding upstream from the Imboulou hydroelectric dam on the Léfini River in the Republic of Congo-Brazzaville, focused on the evolution of annual rainfall and flow in the study area during the period from 1970 to 2020 before and after the building of the dam in 2005, by applying statistical methods. These methods were used to analyse the spatial and temporal evolution of rainfall and flow at the unique hydrometric station located at the RN2 (National Road N°2) bridge in the village of Mbouambé in the Pool region. This work has shown that rainfall is not the cause of flooding in the Léfini catchment area. The monthly flow coefficient (MFC) showed exceptional flooding from November and December onwards after the dam was built, resulting in a variability of flows, with periods of high and low water. In addition, the annual average flow (AAF) and the maximum average flow (MAF) increased after the dam was built. Maximum average flows (MAF) were higher than annual average flows (AAF) throughout the period of study (1970-2020). The annual and monthly rainfall-runoff relationship showed changes after the dam was built, particularly from 2009 and during the months of November and December. .

某沟谷两岸坡面陡峻,沟谷狭窄,纵坡降较大,在地震、降雨等不利因素影响下,其左岸堆积体上方的崩滑堵沟隐患点可能出现失稳,并发展为崩塌滑坡-堰塞湖-溃决洪水-泥石流灾害链。针对此灾害链不同阶段的演化特征,采用相应的数值模拟模型和数值计算方法进行模拟分析和计算,评价其对沟口桥梁工程的影响,并采取相应的防治对策。经分析计算,崩塌滑坡隐患点距沟底高程落差约1 km,岩体体积约8×10^(6)m^(3),平均厚度约26 m,崩塌滑坡堵河可形成最大水深为14.4 m、面积约为7.19×10^(4)m^(2)、方量约为2.74×10^(5)m^(3)的堰塞湖;堰塞湖溃决形成洪水过程中,桥梁处最大水深为4.43 m(不含原始水位),最大流速为7.54 m/s,峰值流量为807 m^(3)/s;在溃决洪水强烈揭底冲刷和侵蚀的条件下,溃决洪水引发的泥石流在桥梁处的最大水深为7.1 m、最大流速为8 m/s、峰值流量为1685.5 m^(3)/s、最大冲刷深度为16.58 m。为减少该灾害链对桥梁工程的影响,采取河道疏通、岸坡防护和监测预警等防治措施。

Utility Impact below Bridge or Culvert Soffit on Open Channel Flow

The background to this research was a flooding incident that occurred in Bridgend, Co. Donegal, Ireland in August 2017. While several properties were flooded, a flooding case study of a single dwelling house adjacent to the Bridgend River at Riverdale, Bunamayne, Co. Donegal, Ireland is used herein. For this study the flooded site shall be referred to as the “Hegarty property”. A structure in the form of a stone arched culvert is located directly adjacent to the two-storey detached dwelling house on the Hegarty Property. While the culvert is referred to locally as a bridge, within this research the word culvert will be used in connection with the structure. The culvert has a concrete surrounded utility (watermain) crossing at a gradient below the culvert soffit on the upstream face of the structure. The utility obstructed flow through the culvert and contributed to the flooding event. Given the implication of climate change and the increased probability of more extreme flooding events, it was decided to explore the case study to ascertain the factors that contribute to flooding events when utilities are positioned at culvert or bridge structures. This work was completed to assist undergraduate students, researchers, and local authorities in a relatively unknown area of flood causation.

Three Dimensional Numerical Modeling of Flow and Pollutant Transport in a Flooding Area of 2008 US Midwest Flood

This paper presents the development and application of a three-dimensional numerical model for simulating the flow field and pollutant transport in a flood zone near the confluence of the Mississippi River and Iowa River during the US Midwest Flood in 2008. Due to a prolonged precipitation event, a levee along the Iowa River just upstream of Oakville, Iowa broke, and the small town was completely flooded for a couple of weeks. During this period, the high water level in the flood zone reached about 2.5 metersabove the ground, and wind was the major force for the flow circulation. It was observed that some pollutants were leaked from the residential and farming facilities and transported into the flood zone. Leaking of pollutants from these facilities was reported by different news media during the flood and was identified using high resolution satellite imagery. The developed 3D numerical model was first validated using experimental measurements, and then applied to the flood inundated zone in Oakville for simulating the unsteady hydrodynamics and pollutant transport. The simulated pollutant distributions were generally in good agreement with the observed data obtained from satellite imagery.

湄公河三角洲洪水特性及其演变规律分析

湄公河三角洲洪涝问题一直是国际社会关注的热点,其洪水特性的不明晰成为制约该地区洪涝灾害治理的短板。基于湄公河三角洲代表站桔井站实测长系列水文资料,采用滑动t检验、Morlet小波变换分析及洪水丰平枯水年划分等方法研究其洪水特性及演变规律。研究结果表明:①湄公河三角洲主汛期平均起止时间为6月30日至11月2日,近年来主汛期历时易发生极端情况,尤以长汛期洪水更为显著;②湄公河三角洲峰现时间集中发生于8~9月,一场洪水历时平均约90 d;③湄公河三角洲桔井站峰高量大,最大90 d洪量与洪峰流量序列存在着35~37 a的周期变换规律;④桔井站洪峰-洪量组合变换多样,洪峰、洪量丰枯变化规律除少数年份外基本保持一致。研究成果可为认识湄公河三角洲复合水文规律提供重要科学依据。

含部分封闭断层油藏水驱优势渗流通道演化规律

含部分封闭断层油藏作为一种常见的油藏类型,低序级断层引起的断层部分封闭导致其与完全封闭油藏具备不同的流体渗流及剩余油分布规律。现有技术难以定量刻画整个水驱进程中油藏深部的优势渗流通道演化规律,进而影响了该类油藏的高效开发。因此,设计制作了含部分封闭断层油藏物理模型并开展水驱油实验,根据模型参数及实验结果建立数值反演模型。基于标准化过流量算法定量表征优势渗流通道,利用数值反演模型与无断层油藏优势渗流通道演化规律进行对比,揭示了含部分封闭断层油藏物理模型优势渗流通道演化规律。研究表明:断层遮挡区域采出井累积产油量较低、产油速度较慢,断层不连续处过流面积减小导致该处采出井见水最早。处于断层另一侧采出井虽初期产油量接近,但断层对注入水阻挡作用导致强阻挡区采出井分流率较高且后期产油速度最高。在无水采油期发育对驱油起积极作用的优势渗流区,该区域经过垂向均衡展布、“指状”展布发育形成油藏底部“纺锤体状”优势渗流通道。各井见水后除在强遮挡区外区域形成由注水井至生产井井底的优势渗流通道,随着注入量增大,该通道在垂向及采出井井周发育且对驱油起消极作用。与无断层油藏相比,部分封闭断层使优势渗流通道在强遮挡区发育滞后且强阻挡区注入水波及困难,导致各区域剩余油分布差异较大,集中分布于强遮挡区上部及强阻挡区断层附近。

测雨雷达在暴雨山洪灾害防御中的应用初探

鄱阳湖水利枢纽工程施工和运行对湖区及尾闾洪水动力的影响

鄱阳湖是长江水系中的两大通江湖泊之一,在调节长江水位、涵养水源、改善当地气候和维护周围地区生态平衡等方面都起着巨大的作用。鄱阳湖水利枢纽的修建可能导致湖泊水文情势和水动力的变化。本文基于MIKE 21构建鄱阳湖二维水动力模型,选取1954年和1998年特大洪水年以及1991年长江倒灌年作为运行期的典型年,选取1995年作为施工期典型年,按照规划中的鄱阳湖水利枢纽工程施工及运行调度方案,计算水利枢纽修建前后鄱阳湖水位和流量的变化,定量分析枢纽工程对长江干流、鄱阳湖湖区及尾闾附近洪水动力的影响。结果表明:不同典型年鄱阳湖水利枢纽对长江干流、湖区及尾闾的洪水动力影响相似,其中洪水期、倒灌期及施工期一期对长江防洪、湖区及尾闾附近的影响较小,施工期二期湖区水位壅高幅度最高达0.237 m,对鄱阳湖湖区及尾闾附近防洪有一定影响;枢纽工程对星子、都昌、康山等湖区水文站水位影响幅度较为接近,且越靠近尾闾,影响越小。整体而言,鄱阳湖水利枢纽的修建会导致洪水年鄱阳湖湖区水位壅高,倒灌期湖区水位降低,湖区流速降低,但变化幅度均较小,故枢纽工程施工期和运行期对汛期行洪影响不大。

大庆油田三类油层聚合物驱合理流压界限计算方法及其矿场应用

大庆油田三类油层地质储量丰富,具有储层厚度薄、渗透率低、孔喉尺寸小、含油饱和度低等特征。进行聚合物驱开发时,与一、二类油层相比,含水率降幅更小,油层动用程度更低。为了提高储层动用程度,进一步改善区块开发效果,利用油藏工程方法与化学驱数值模拟技术开展三类油层聚合物驱合理流压界限研究,建立了合理流压计算方法并应用于现场。结果表明:确定含水率低值稳定期对应的最低允许流压需要综合考虑生产井流入动态、泵下入深度以及泵效;注聚过程中流压过高或过低均不能充分动用中、低渗透层;在聚合物驱含水率低值稳定阶段进行合理流压调整,能够有效改善三类油层的开发效果。大庆油田三类油层聚合物驱在不同试验区应用合理流压界限均取得明显增油降水效果,平均日增油0.5 t,含水率降低1.6百分点。
