Seismic Hazard Assessment in the Boundary Region of Indo-China:First Phase of Implementation of the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) in Continental Asia

The primary goal of the demonstration project endorsed by the Scientific and Technical Committee for IDNDR in 1992 is to ensure that national agencies are able to assess seismic hazard in a regionally coordinated fashion by using advanced methods.China,as a Regional Center of Central Southern Asia,has contacted with countries of the region to realistically practice seismic hazard assessments of Continental Asia.A test area located in the collision boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates was chosen to examine the seismic hazard assessment approach in the regional coordinates.The seismotectonics and three versions of seismic sources of the test area are described in this paper and under the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program(GSHAP),guidelines an earthquake catalogue of the test area was assembled.Because of the incompleteness of earthquake data in different countries,we adopt different time windows for different magnitude intervals in order to obtain the seismicity parameters of sources.By

THE INTERACTION OF A SHOCK WAVE WITH THE BOUNDARY LAYER IN A REFLECTED SHOCK TUNNEL

The influence of a nontotal reflection on the interaction of a reflected shock wave with the boundary layer in a reflected shock tunnel has been investigated. The calculating method of the velocity, the temperature and the Mach number profiles in the boundary layer in reflected shock fixed coordinates has been obtained. To account for equilibrium real gas effects of nitrogen, the numerical results show that the minimum Mach number in the boundary layer has been moved from the wall into the boundary layer with the increasing of the incident shock Mach number. The minimum Mach number, the shock angle in the bifurcated foot and the jet velocity along the wall to the end plate are reduced owing to the Increasing of the area of nozzle throat. The numerical results are in good agreement with measurements.

THE BOUNDARY EXPANDING-CONTRACTING METHOD

The boundary element method (KEM) which a used to solve the elastic problems has more advantages than other numerical methods. Especially, it can resolve rapidly varying internal stress and strain fields more accurately. However, it is of en fails in the region near the boundary because of the singularity of the solutions. Though we can increase the boundary meshes more and more, the solutions of stress on the boundary can't be given directly; which has obstructed the applications of the HEM to some extent.In this paper we proposed the boudary expanding-contracting principle and the boundary expanding-contracting method (BECM) based on the principle. With this method, not only the solutions in the region near or on the boundary can be obtained directly, but the iterative processes can also he used conveniently to improve the accuracy of the solutions.

The Boundary Between Gondwana and Pacifica and the Suturing Ages of Their Allied Terranes in Southwestern China

Two terranes formed since the Late Palaeozoic can be distinguished in southwestern China. One is charac-terized by the Permo-Carboniferous ice-rafted marine gravel-bearing clastic formation and the cold-water faunaof the Gondwana facies, including the Gangmar Co, Lhasa, Sa' gya, Tengchong and Baoshan terranes and theother is marked by the Upper Palaeozoic of the Yangtze type with the Cathaysian flora and the Pacific-typefusulinids, comprising the Changning-Menglian, Shuangjiang-Lancang, Qamdo and Bayan Har terranes. TheLongmu Co-Shuanghu-Dengqen-North Lancang River-Kejie-Mengding suture zone between the two groups ofterranes is the boundary between Gondwana and Pacifica in southwestern China. On the grounds of thesedimentary formation and successive southwestward migration of the Asian nonmarine Jurassic-Cretaceousendemic bivalves, the ages of the suture and some terranes to the southwest of the suture zone are discussed.The Baoshan terrane and the Nyainrong-Sog terrane in the Lhasa composite terrane were firstly pieced togeth-er with the Asian continent in the early Early Jurassic. The northern Tibet-western Yunnan microplate, in-cluding the Gangmar Co, Lhasa and Tengchong terranes, collided with the Asian continent at the end of theEarly Cretaceous Neocomian.

The K Method for Estimating Earthquake Activity Parameters and Effect of the Boundary Uncertainty of the Source Region:Discussion on the Seismic Zoning Method

Two aspects of a new method,which can be used for seismic zoning,are introduced in this paper.On the one hand,the approach to estimate b value and annual activity rate proposed by Kijko and Sellevoll needs to use the earthquake catalogue.The existing earthquake catalogue contains both historical and recent instrumental data sets and it is inadequate to use only one part.Combining the large number of historical events with recent complete records and taking the magnitude uncertainty into account,Kijko’s method gives the maximum likelihood estimation of b value and annual activity rate,which might be more realistic.On the other hand,this method considers the source zone boundary uncertainty in seismic hazard analysis,which means the earthquake activity rate across a boundary of a source zone changes smoothly instead of abruptly and avoids too large a gradient in the calculated results.

Let R_Ⅲ(n) be the classical domain of type Ⅲ with n≥2. This article is devoted to a deep study of the Schwarz lemma on R_Ⅲ(n) via not only exploring the smooth boundary points of R_Ⅲ(n) but also proving the Schwarz lemma at the smooth boundary point for holomorphic self-mappings of R_Ⅲ(n).

The high frequency acoustic radiation from the boundary layer of an axisymmetric body

The mechanism of acoustic radiation from the boundary layer of an axisymmetric body is analyzed, and its sound pressure spectrum is predicted. It is shown that the acoustic radiation results from the transition region and the turbulent boundary layer; and that the acoustic radiation from transition region is predominant at low frequencies; while the turbulent boundary layer has the decisive effect on acoustic radiation at high frequencies. The calculated values are in good agreement with the experimental data.

ADJUSTMENT OF WIND AND PRESSURE FIELDS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER

The vertical transport of mass at the top of the boundary layer is considered as a link between the boundary layer and free atmosphere.The adjustment of the wind and pressure fields in the boundary layer is studied under the consideration of the interaction between the boundary layer and free atmosphere.The vertical motion at the top of the boundary layer is evaluated.The results show that the distinguished differ- ences of the present results from classical Ekman layer do exist and they are discussed in the paper.

MOTIONS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER UNDER THE GEOSTROPHIC MOMENTUM APPROXIMATION INCORPORATING A THREE-SECTION K DISTRIBUTION

By use of geostrophic momentum approximation,the analytical expressions of the wind distribution within the planetary boundary layer and the vertical velocity at the top of the boundary layer are obtained when the distribution of eddy transfer coefficient k is divided into three sections:k_1z(z_0≤z<h_1),k_2(h_1≤z<h_2), and k_3(h_2≤z).The results are in agreement with the observations.In particular,the wind profile in the surface layer(z_0≤z<h_1)coincides with the logarithmic distribution.The maximum angle between winds near the surface and at the bottom of the free atmosphere is only about 30°.This work improves the work of Wu and Blumen(1982)who introduced the geostrophic momentum approximation to the boundary layer.The solutions in barotropic and neutral conditions have been also extended to the baroclinic and stratified atmosphere.

Moment tensor inversion and source rupture process of the September 27, 2003 M_S=7.9 earthquake occurred in the border area of China, Russia and Mongolia

plane with the strike of 127°, the dip of 79° and the rake of 171°. The rupture process inversion result of MS=7.9 earthquake shows that the total rupture duration is about 37 s, the scalar moment tensor is M0=0.97 × 1020 N·m. Rupture mainly occurred on the shallow area with 110 km long and 30 km wide, the location in which the rupture initiated is not where the main rupture took place, and the area with slip greater than 0.5 m basically lies within 35 km deep middle-crust under the earth surface. The maximum static slip is 3.6 m. There are two distinct areas with slip larger than 2.0 m. We noticed that when the rupture propagated towards northwest and closed to the area around the MS=7.3 hypocenter, the slip decreased rapidly, which may indicate that the rupture process was stopped by barriers. The consistence of spatial distribution of slip on the fault plane with the distribution of aftershocks also supports that the rupture is a heterogeneous process owing to the presence of barriers.

ASYMPTOTIC NON-STABILITY AND BLOW-UP AT BOUNDARY FOR SOLUTIONS OF A FILTRATION EQUATION

For a class of nonlinear filtration equation with nonlinear second-third boundary value condition, it is shown that a priori boundary of the solution can be estimated and controlled by initial data and integral on the boundary of the region. The priori estimate of the solutions was established by iterative method. By using this estimate the solutions may blow-up on the boundary of the region and thus it may have asymptotic non-stability.

'98南海季风(SCSMEX)和高原科学试验(TIPEX)边界层(英文)

A dynamic study on Ekman characteristics by using 1998 SCSMEX and TIPEX boundary layer data is made. The results are as follows: (1) Similar dynamical Ekman characteristics are observed in the Tibetan Plateau and in the South China Sea and its surrounding area. (2) The thickness of the boundary layer is about 2250 m over the Tibetan Plateau, and considering its variation, the thickness could be up to 2250–2750 m. In the tropical southwest Pacific, the thickness of the boundary layer is about 2000 m, and the variation is smaller; a smaller thickness of the boundary layer is in the plain area of the Bohai Sea. (3) Because of the difference in elevation between the Tibetan Plateau and the tropical ocean area, the influence of the boundary layer on the atmosphere is quite different although the two areas have almost the same thickness for the boundary layer, the height where the friction forcing occurs is quite different. (4) The vertical structure of turbulence friction is quite different in the Plateau and in the tropical ocean area. Calculations by 1998 SCSMEX and TIPEX boundary layer data indicate that even in the lowest levels, eddy viscosity in the Tibetan Plateauan can be 2.3 times than in the tropical ocean area.

A boundary Schwarz lemma on the classical domain of type I

Let R_I(m,n) be the classical domain of type I in C^(m×n)with 1≤m≤n.We obtain the optimal estimates of the eigenvalues of the Fréchet derivative Df(Z) at a smooth boundary fixed point Z of R_I(m,n)for a holomorphic self-mapping f of R_L(m,n).We provide a necessary and sufficient condition such that the boundary points of R_I(m,n) are smooth,and give some properties of the smooth boundary points of R_L(m,n).Our results extend the classical Schwarz lemma at the boundary of the unit disk △ to R_I(m,n),which may be applied to get some optimal estimates in several complex variables.

THE HP-VERSION OF BEM-FAST CONVERGENCE,ADAPTIVITY AND EFFICIENT PRECONDITIONING

In this survey paper we report on recent developments of the hp-version of the boundary element method （BEM）. As model problems we consider weakly singular and hypersingular integral equations of the first kind on a planar, open surface. We show that the Galerkin solutions （computed with the hp-version on geometric meshes） converge exponentially fast towards the exact solutions of the integral equations. An hp-adaptive algorithm is given and the implementation of the hp-version BEM is discussed together with the choice of efficient preconditioners for the ill-conditioned boundary element stiffness matrices. We also comment on the use of the hp-version BEM for solving Signorini contact problems in linear elasticity where the contact conditions are enforced only on the discrete set of Gauss-Lobatto points. Numerical results are presented which underline the theoretical results.
