EFFECT OF INTERMITTENT HIGH FREQUENCY MAGNETIC FIELD ON INITIAL SOLIDIFICATION IN CONTINUOUS CASTING

Contacting state between molten metal and a mold and initial solidification process of continuously cast metals can be controlled by imposing an intermittent magnetic field.In this study, effect of the intermittent magnetic field on the initial solidification ofcontinuoasly cast metals was investigated by measuring the temperature distribution in the melt pool and the initial solidification starting position of shells. It was found that under the condition with intermittent magnetic field, the melt near meniscns is in slow cooling state, the initial solidification starting position descends, initial solidification shell thickens and the liquid-solid interface becomes smooth.

Modulation of the Wind Field Structure of Initial Vortex on the Relationship between Tropical Cyclone Size and Intensity

This study investigates the modulation of initial wind field structure on the relationship between the size and intensity of a simulated vortex.A series of idealized experiments are conducted by varying the radius of maximum wind(RMW)and shape parameter of the initial vortices.The size–intensity relationship is quantified by the linear regression coefficient of the azimuthally-averaged gale-force wind radius against the maximum wind during the development stage,reflecting the degree of size expansion at the same intensity increment.The regression coefficient increases with increased RMW and decreased,with the RMW being the primary constraint.The effect of lowering on the elevation of the regression coefficient gradually stands out when the initial RMW is large.Enlarging the RMW leads to a secondary circulation with a horizontally elongated structure,which retards the intensification while promoting size expansion,thus substantially enhancing size expansion as the vortex intensifies.Broadening the wind field outside the RMW by reducing results in abounding convection in the outer region,which promotes size expansion.Based on the axisymmetric tangential wind tendency and Sawyer–Eliassen equations,when the RMW is large,the active convection in the outer region can weaken the radial inflow induced by the eyewall heating in the inner region,thus retarding the intensification by reducing the radial imports of vorticity near the RMW.

Key Deviation Analysis of Initial Fields on Ensemble Forecast in South China During the Rainfall Event on May 21,2020

Extreme rainfall is common from May to October in south China.This study investigates the key deviation of initial fields on ensemble forecast of a persistent heavy rainfall event from May 20 to 22,2020 in Guangdong Province,south China by comparing ensemble members with different performances.Based on the rainfall distribution and pattern,two types are selected for analysis compared with the observed precipitation.Through the comparison of the thermal and dynamic fields in the middle and lower layers,it can be found that the thermal difference between the middle and lower layers was an important factor which led to the deviation of precipitation distribution.The dynamic factors also have some effects on the precipitation area although they were not as important as the thermal factors in this case.Correlating accumulated precipitation with atmospheric state variables further corroborates the above conclusion.This study suggests that the uncertainty of the thermal and dynamic factors in the numerical model can have a strong impact on the quantitative skills of heavy rainfall forecasts.

The influence of the initial temperature field on sea ice simulations in the Bohai Sea in winter of 2015/2016

To assess the influence of the initial temperature field on ocean temperature and sea ice simulations,a climatological dataset(WOA18),a real-time varying dataset(SODA),and an analysis field obtained after applying the“vertical projection”assimilation scheme were selected to obtain the initial temperature field(the initial moment was December 1,2015)for use in the sea ice simulation of the HAMSOM ice-ocean coupled model,considering the Bohai Sea in the 2015/2016 winter.In this study,after using this assimilation scheme,the analysis initial temperature field showed significant improvement.The simulated SST results showed that the initial temperature field had a considerable effect on the SST results in the first 45 days of the model run;after this period,the effect became negligible and the model internal dynamics and atmospheric forcing became dominant.The simulated sea ice results showed that the ice area and ice edge distance(i.e.,the distance between the intersection of the central axis and the ice edge line and axis apex)results obtained in experiment E3 which used the analysis initial temperature field were improved by~14%and~35%,respectively,and those obtained in experiment E2 which used the real-time varying initial temperature field were improved by~10%and~22%,respectively,compared to the results of experiment E1 which used the climatological initial temperature field.

Effects of rotation and initial magnetic field are analyzed theoretically and computed numerically. Numerical results have been given and illustrated graphically. Comparison was made with the results obtained in the presence of rotation and initial magnetic field in fibre-reinforced anisotropic and isotropic elastic media. The results indicate the effect of rotation and initial magnetic field.

Effect of Rotation, Magnetic Field and Initial Stresses on Propagation of Plane Waves in Transversely Isotropic Dissipative Half Space

The problem regarding the reflection of plane waves in a transversely isotropic dissipative medium is considered, in which we are studying about the reflection of incidence waves in initially stressed dissipative half space. After solving the governing equations, we find the two complex quasi-P (qP) and quasi-SV (qSV) waves. The occurrence of reflected waves is studied to calculate the reflection coefficient and the energy partition of incidence wave at the plane boundary of the dissipative medium. Numerical example is considered for the reflection coefficient and the partition of incident energy, in which we study about the effect of rotation, initial stresses and magnetic field.

Correlation between per-well average dynamic reserves and initial absolute open flow potential(AOFP) for large gas fields in China and its application

Based on performance data of over 600 wells in 32 large gas fields of different types in China, the correlation is established between per-well average dynamic reserves( G) and average initial absolute open flow potential(IAOFq) of each field, and its connotation and applicability are further discussed through theoretical deduction. In log-log plot, G vs. IAOFq exhibit highly dependent linear trend, which implicates the compatibility between G and IAOFq attained through development optimization to reach the balance among annual flow capacity, maximum profits and certain production plateau, that is to match productivity with rate maintenance capacity. The correlation can be used as analogue in new gas field development planning to evaluate the minimum dynamic reserves which meet the requirement of stable and profitable production, and facilitate well pattern arrangement. It can also serve as criteria to appraise the effectiveness and infill drilling potential of well patterns for developed gas fields.

Field observations of debris-flow initiation processes on sediment deposits in a previous deep-seated landslide site

Although information regarding the initiation processes of debris flows is important for the development of mitigation measures,field data regarding these processes are scarce.We conducted field observations of debris-flow initiation processes in the upper Ichinosawa catchment of the Ohya landslide,central Japan.On 19 June 2012,our videocamera monitoring systems recorded the moment of debris-flow initiation on channel deposits(nine surges) and talus slopes(eight surges).The initiation mechanisms of these surges were classified into three types by analyzing the video images: erosion by the surface flow,movement of deposits as a mass,and upward development of the fluid area.The first type was associated with the progress of surface flow from the upper stream on unsaturated channel deposits.The second type was likely caused by an increase in the pore water pressure associated with the rising in the groundwater level in channel deposits;a continuous water supply from the upper stream by the surface flow might have induced this saturation.The third type was associated with changes in the downstream topography caused by erosion.The flow velocity of most surges was less than 3 m s^(-1) and they usually stopped within 100 m from the initiation point.Surges with abundant pore fluid had a higher flow velocity(about 3- 5 m s^(-1)) and could travel for alonger duration.Our observations indicate that the surface flow plays an important role in the initiation of debris flows on channel deposits and talus slopes.

Field observation of debris-flow activities in the initiation area of the Jiangjia Gully, Yunnan Province, China

The Jiangjia Gully, which is located in Dongchuan District, Yunnan Province, China, is a watershed prone to debris flows and has long-term recorded data of debris-flow occurrence. However, the initiation mechanism has mainly been studied by experiments in this watershed. To further reveal debris-flow formation mechanism in the Jiangjia Gully, debris-flow activities in the initiation zone were observed with hand-held video cameras in the summer of 2016 and 2017. In these two years, six debris-flow events were triggered in Menqian Gully, a major tributary of the Jiangjia Gully, while debrisflow activities in some sub-watersheds of Menqian Gully were recorded with video cameras in four events. The video recording shows that landslides constituted an important source for sediment supply in debris flow. Some landslides directly evolved into debris flows, while the others released sediment into rills and channels, where debris flows were generated for sediment entrainment by water flow. Therefore, debris-flow occurrence in the Jiangjia Gully is influenced both by infiltration-dominated processes and by runoff-dominated processes. In addition, rainfall data from four gauges installed in Menqian Gully were analyzed using mean intensity(I), duration(D), peak 10-minute rainfall(R10min) and antecedent rainfall(AR) up to 15 days prior to peak 10-minute rainfall. It reveals that debris-flow triggering events can be discriminated from nontriggering events either by an I-D threshold or by an R10min-AR threshold. However, false alarms can be greatly reduced if these two kinds of thresholds are used together. Moreover, behaviors including intermittency of debris flow, variance in moisture content and volume among surges, and coalescence of multiple surges by temporary damming were observed, indicating the complexity of debris-flow initiation processes. These findings are expected to enhance our knowledge on debris-flow formation mechanism in regions with similar environmental settings.

Frost heaving and crack initiation characteristics of tunnel rock mass in cold regions under low-temperature degradation

Water freezing in rock fractures causes volumetric expansion and fracture development through frost heaving.This study introduces a novel analytical model to investigate how uneven freezing force and surrounding rock pressure influence fracture initiation,based on mass conservation,elasticity,and water-ice phase transition principles.A model for rock fracture initiation considering freezing temperature,uneven freezing expansion,in-situ stress,and lateral pressure was proposed based on fracture mechanics.Equations for stress intensity factors were developed and validated using the phase field method.The effects of rock elastic modulus anisotropy and critical fracture energy density on fracture initiation were also discussed.The results show that the values of KI and KII exhibit an upward trend as the freezing temperature,uneven expansion,in-situ stress,and lateral pressure increase.The uneven freezing expansion has the most significant influence on KI and KII values among these parameters.As the uneven freezing expansion coefficient increases to 0.5,the fracture initiation mode shifts from tensile fracture to shear fracture.As the lateral pressure coefficient increases to 1,the fracture initiation mode shifts from tensile fracture to shear fracture.Rock elastic modulus anisotropy causes fractures to propagate in a clockwise direction,forming a'butterfly'pattern.Critical fracture energy density an isotropy causes counterclockwise deviation in propagation direction,resulting in branching paths and an'H'-shaped pattern.

Bioturbation Effects of Benthic Fish on the Phosphorus Dynamic in Overlying Water of Paddy Field

[Objective]The research aimed to investigate the bioturbation effects of benthic fish Misgurnus anguillicaudatus on phosphorus dynamic in overlying water of paddy field,as well as to explore the bioturbation mechanism.[Method]Based on simulation experiment,the phosphorus contents in overlying water were analyzed comparatively with and without Misgurnus anguillicaudatus by the using of ion chromatography and spectrophotometry.[Result]The concentrations of total phosphorus(TP),dissolved total phosphorus(DTP)and particular phosphorus(PP)in bioturbation group had no significant differences with those in control group in initial stage of experiment,and became significantly higher than control group in middle and late stages of experiment(P<0.05). The PP/TP ratios in bioturbation group were bigger than those in control group,the increase of TP concentration in bioturbation group was mainly due to the increase of PP. The ratios of dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP) to DTP (DIP/DTP) were significantly bigger than those in control group in middle and late stages of experiment(P<0.05).[Conclusion]The benthic fish had bioturbation effects on phosphorus in overlying water of paddy field,which increased the available phosphorus for rice growth.

Prediction model for the initial seed clearing angles of a precision seed meter based on vector fields

Seed clearing is a critical stage during precision seed metering process to ensure high seed singulation.However,there is a lack of understanding of the dynamics in the seed clearing process.In this study,a model was developed to predict initial seed clearing angle,in the seed clearing process using vector fields.The model was applied to an existing high-speed metering device and soybean seeds,and the model was evaluated with bench testing results.Results showed that dynamic changes in forces and constraints of seeds during the seed clearing process could be abstracted as vectors,and the changes of vector directions could be described by their phase angles.The phase angles were functions of the rotational angle of the seed meter.The phase angle of the constraint boundary linearly increases with the increase of the rotational angle.The phase angle of the force fluctuates,as the rotational angle changes.Initial seed clearing angle obtained from the phase angles varies from 8°to 59°,depending on the seeder travel speed.When comparing the values of the initial seed clearing angles predicted by the model with those from the bench tests,the root mean square error(RMSE)were from 2.73 to 3.14,and the correlation(r)between predict and observer were all higher than 0.98,indicating that the model had reasonably good accuracy.

Effect of an electrostatic field on gas adsorption and diffusion in tectonic coal

The characteristics of adsorption, desorption, and diffusion of gas in tectonic coal are important for the prediction of coal and gas outbursts. Three types of coal samples, of which both metamorphic grade and degree of damage is different, were selected from Tongchun, Qilin, and Pingdingshan mines. Using a series of experiments in an electrostatic field, we analyzed the characteristics of gas adsorption and diffusion in tectonic coal. We found that gas adsorption in coal conforms to the Langmuir equation in an electrostatic field. Both the depth of the adsorption potential well and the coal molecular electroneg- ativity increases under the action of an electrostatic field. A Joule heating effect was caused by changing the coal-gas system conductivity in an electrostatic field. The quantity of gas adsorbed and AP result from competition between the depth of the adsorption potential well, the coal molecular electronegativ- ity, and the Joule heating effect. △P peaks when the three factors control behavior equally. Compared with anthracite, the impact of the electrostatic field on the gas diffusion capacity of middle and high rank coals is greater. Compared with the original coal, the gas adsorption quantity,△P, and the gas diffusion capacity of tectonic coal are greater in an electrostatic field. In addition, the smaller the particle size of tectonic coal, the larger the△P.

Crack Initiation under Cyclic Compression

The crack initiation behaviour under cyclic compression foy the notched specimen was investigated. It has been found that the cycles for crack initiation increase with the increase of compressive mean stress, and the decrease of stress amplitude. The stress amplitude plays a more important role than the mean stress does. Photoelastic coating and finite element methods were employed to measure and calculate the stress field in the notched part. The resul ts show that the crack initiation under compression is attributed to the tensile stress which may exist during unloadtng. If the true stress state in the notch is compressive, no crack initiates.

陵水25-1深水气田混输管道距离长、管道爬坡段坡度大,初始投产阶段混输流体水相到达平台的时间长且预测困难,给管道安全运行带来风险。基于多相流计算模型,运用LedaFlow软件,对陵水25-1深水气田初始投产阶段的水相运动规律进行研究,并深入分析含水率、油量、气量、油水相间摩擦系数等因素对水相运行的影响。结果表明:初始投产阶段水相在爬坡段分离和积聚,形成长时间的停滞,管道坡度越大,水相波动越剧烈;含水率越高的物流,水相在爬坡段聚集时间越短;气量增大则会降低水相滞液程度,提高水相运行速度,有助于水相爬坡;油量变化对水相运行速度的影响较小,油水相间摩擦系数对爬坡段水相运动有直接影响,油水相间摩擦系数修正拟合,对实际管道运行有重要指导意义。研究结果可为深水气田开发研究提供借鉴。

低渗透砂岩储层压驱裂缝起裂及扩展特征实验研究

针对水驱低渗透油藏地层能量补充困难、“注不进、采不出”的问题,胜利油田结合提液稳产技术需求,形成了针对低渗透油藏的压驱注水技术。压驱通过高压注水有效提高了水驱注水总量,矿场试验表明压驱过程中储层形成了一定规模的裂缝,但压驱破裂压力及裂缝扩展规律尚不明确。为了优化矿场施工参数,采用天然砂岩和真三轴水力压裂平台开展5组压驱与压裂物理模拟实验,研究注入排量对压驱破裂压力和裂缝形态的影响,分析注入方式对裂缝形态的影响,并利用多孔弹性理论分析其成因。结果表明:压驱过程同时存在明显的起裂压力和破裂压力,裂缝发育呈现弹性变形、微破裂和失稳破裂3个阶段。随着注入排量升高,起裂压力基本不变,破裂压力逐渐降低。H-F模型可用于预测起裂压力,H-W模型可用于预测破裂压力的上限。压驱裂缝扩展方向受岩石非均质性的影响较大,非均质性通过影响井眼附近的孔隙压力场,进而改变应力场,使裂缝扩展方向不再垂直于最小地应力。定排量注入时,分支缝与主裂缝夹角大,形成鱼骨状裂缝;变排量注入时,分支缝与主裂缝近平行,在主裂缝两侧形成裂缝带。
