火山通道岩浆流动动力学模型在天池火山喷发过程中的应用

在圆柱形火山通道的下部,岩浆上升速度与岩浆粘度、密度及压力有关。这时的流体动力学过程可以应用一般的牛顿流体模型。火山通道中部气泡化岩浆上升时,液相和气相的转化符合质量守恒方程,混合相总体符合动量守恒方程。其中气泡形成与生长过程符合达西定律与数密度方程。在火山通道靠上部的碎屑化带里,不同组分符合质量守恒方程,混合相总体符合动量守恒方程。天池火山千年大喷发时,通道直径是62m。岩浆房内的岩浆含有约3%体积百分数的气泡,气泡体积在65%时岩浆破碎,颗粒离开通道时的速度是145ms^(-1),而气体离开通道时的速度是170ms^(-1)。气体颗粒分散相出口压力是12.2MPa。在破火山口塌陷之前,岩浆房内气泡体积可高达30%～40%。与此同时,碎屑化发生时岩浆的孔隙度也增加到70%～75%左右。这时的出口压力降低至7～8MPa,出口气体速度增加到180ms^(-1)。气象站碱流质寄生火山喷发对应的喷发通道直径是40m,喷发以气体出口速度15～25ms^(-1)的弱爆破性喷发和侵出式喷发为特征。这时浮岩的孔隙度比千年大喷发的孔隙度低,为48%～61%,而浮岩密度高,为1.01～1.35gcm^(-3)。在侵出相喷发时最高释放率可以达到42m^3s^(-1)(致密岩石当量 DRE),孔隙度变化范围是70%～80%。

火山灰云在航空安全领域研究进展

火山爆发产生的火山灰会给附近并较大范围内造成严重影响,尤其是上升到对流层顶部及以上的火山灰云会给航空安全带来巨大威胁。因此,对火山灰云的发生、发展进行监测和预警就显得尤为重要。阐述了火山灰云概念及其研究历史,并根据火山灰云特点介绍了火山灰云对航空安全的影响,进而阐述了目前卫星监测火山灰云存在的一些手段和方法,以及火山灰云预测模型的研究进展,国际上政府之间和各机构等采取的一些应对措施。随着航空业的日益发展,特别是中国航空运输的快速增长,且中国周边东南亚、日本和堪察加半岛火山众多,因此,火山灰云对航空威胁日益显著。最后指出,更好的进行火山灰云的研究是非常必要的,尤其是建立火山灰云的监测和预警。

基于InSAR、GPS形变场的长白山地区火山岩浆囊参数模拟研究

利用差分合成孔径雷达干涉测量技术(D-InSAR)获取长白山地区的形变场.结果显示1995～1998年期间,位于长白山东南侧的间白山火山存在6～12 cm的视线向形变。而长白山天池火山处于平静期,没有明显形变.利用2002～2003年的GPS和水准获取的形变数据,分别采用Mogi单源、双源模型反演了长白山地区火山的岩浆囊参数.其中双源模型拟合效果较为理想,两个点源一个位于长白山天池老火山口下方7.9 km处,另一个位于间白山火山下方5.5 km处.对双源模型反演得到的岩浆囊参数进行适当调整,拟合得到与InSAR形变场基本吻合的结果.上述研究结果表明长白山地区火山活动存在时间上的间歇性和空间上的迁移性,为进一步研究长白山地区火山活动机制提供了参考和依据.

Evaluation of volcanic reservoirs with the "QAPM mineral model" using a genetic algorithm

Gas-bearing volcanic reservoirs have been found in the deep Songliao Basin, China. Choosing proper interpretation parameters for log evaluation is difficult due to complicated mineral compositions and variable mineral contents. Based on the QAPF classification scheme given by IUGS, we propose a method to determine the mineral contents of volcanic rocks using log data and a genetic algorithm. According to the QAPF scheme, minerals in volcanic rocks are divided into five groups： Q（quartz）, A （Alkaline feldspar）, P （plagioclase）, M （mafic） and F （feldspathoid）. We propose a model called QAPM including porosity for the volumetric analysis of reservoirs. The log response equations for density, apparent neutron porosity, transit time, gamma ray and volume photoelectrical cross section index were first established with the mineral parameters obtained from the Schlumberger handbook of log mineral parameters. Then the volumes of the four minerals in the matrix were calculated using the genetic algorithm （GA）. The calculated porosity, based on the interpretation parameters, can be compared with core porosity, and the rock names given in the paper based on QAPF classification according to the four mineral contents are compatible with those from the chemical analysis of the core samples.

Phosphate Sorption Characteristics of Andosols of the Volcanic Highlands of Central African Great Lakes Region

High phosphate sorption constitutes a critical impediment to agricultural use of Andosols in the volcanic highlands of Central African Great Lakes region. A laboratory experiment was conducted on soil samples collected from an Andosol amended with a factorial combination of lime and P （phosphorus） fertiliser to determine the P sorption characteristics and derive parameter estimates relevant in the prediction and management of P in the Andosols. The potential for sorption of additional P and its binding intensity were evaluated by applying the two-surface Langmuir model to sorption isotherms. The calculated P sorption maxima ranged from 1,667 mg·kg^-1 to 10,000 mg·kg^-1 representing about 95% of the P applied to the soil. The external P requirement ranged from 1,492 mgP·kg^-1 to 2,760 mgP.kgl which is further evidence that the studied Andosols are high P sorbers. There was no significant effect of lime and P rates on P sorption capacity of the Andosols. Exchangeable iron was highly correlated with P sorption maxima b2 （r = 0.98） on the high energy sites, whereas cation exchange capacity was negatively correlated with P sorption maxima bl （r = 0.999） and positively correlated with P binding energy K1 （r = 0.998） on the low energy sites.

Model Analysis of Smoke Control in Long Tunnel： Findings from Hsueh-Shan Tunnel Accident in Taiwan

The common properties of risk in long tunnel fires are high temperature, extreme difficulty of evacuation, rescue urgency and obstacle to rescue operation. Therefore, a complete ventilation design is an indispensable safety measure. Hsueh-Shan Tunnel is the longest in Taiwan, the fifth longest in the world. On May 7, 2012, a serious tunnel fire caused two deaths and numerous victims suffered from smoke inhalation injury. Apart from this, there was smoking entering the cross-passages and shafts which were important for evacuation. In this research, the current ventilation system in Hsueh-Shan Tunnel was simulated with FDS （fire dynamics simulator） software, and the statistics of smoke, visibility and temperature profile were analyzed. The results of this research showed that, with the current ventilation system, the time was shorter and the distance was longer for the smoke spreading windward than in other models. Furthermore, the visibility of windward victims was more affected and the temperature above the fire source was higher than those in other systems. When the wind speed in tunnel is within 2.0-4.0 m/s, the condition for turning off the ventilation fan within 250 m upwind from the fire source can be prominently reduced to 50 m upwind from the fire source. This not only could avoid plume disturbance but also could be maintained. If victims＇ evacuation should be given the highest priority, it is recommended to straightly activate the maximum power of the fan.

Study on water saturation computation models in complex pore volcanic reservoir

Determination of water saturation is important for reservoir evaluation. When complex pore structures such as fracture and cavity are present in reservoir, Archie equation is no longer suitable. According to different models of pore structure division, the authors studied water saturation conlputation models. The results show that dual porosity system is divided into four models. The first model is based on dual laterolog, the second is Dual Porosity I , the third is Dual Porosity Ⅱ , and the last one is based on the conductive pore. Besides, the triple porosity system is triple porosity model. Compute water saturation was using all the above five models in volcanic reservoir in Songnan gas field. The triple porosity system is the most suitable model for water saturation computation in complex pore structure volcanic reservoir.

Numerical Simulation and Probabilistic Hazard Assessment of Tephra Fallout at Jinlongdingzi Volcano,Longgang Volcanic Field in Jilin Province

Tephra fallout is an important type of hazard caused by explosive volcanic eruption, and numerical simulation has become a fast and effective approach to assess the dispersion and deposition of tephra fallout. According to the improved 2D diffusion model of Suzuki （ 1983）, we edited a tephra diffusion program that can run in the Windows system. Based on previous data, we simulated the diffusion scope of the Jinlongdingzi volcanic eruption, which is the latest eruption in the Longgang volcanic cluster. The simulated results are in good agreement with the results from measurement in situ, indicating that the model is reliable and the parameters used in the model are suitable. By using wind profiles of ten years, 7, 021 simulations under different wind profiles were carried out, and then probabilistic hazard maps of tephra fallout were constructed for tephra thickness thresholds, lcm and 0.5cm. This study can provide an important scientific basis for volcanic hazard analysis, risk mitigation plans and countermeasures in the Longgang volcanic area.

Dating a 109.9 m ice core from Dome A (East Antarctica) with volcanic records and a firn densification model

A 109.9 m ice core was extracted at a location about 300 m away from the Dome A summit （80°00′S, 77°21″E） by the Chinese team of the International Trans-Antarctic Science Expedition （ITASE） during the 21st Chinese National Antarctica Research Expedition （CHINARE） in January 2005. Two independent methods were used for dating the ice core, volcanic event markers shown by prominent non-sea-salt sulfate （nss-SO4^2-） and the Herron and Langway （H-L） firn densification model. Six promi- nent volcanic events （Agung 1963 AD, Tambora 1815 AD, Kuwae 1453 AD, Unknown 1259 AD, Taupo 186 AD and Pinatubo 1050 BC） were identified by comparison with other Antarctic ice cores. Based on the mean accumulation rates be- tween adjacent events, we estimate the age at the tim pore close-off depth （102 m） was 3516±100 a BP. This is the oldest close-off age ever reported from the Antarctic and the Greenland ice sheets. Calculations using the H-L model show that the age at the same depth is 3581±100 a BP. The two dating techniques differ by 65 years, or -1.8% of the record. We calculated the bottom age of the ice core as 4009±150 a BP using the volcanic dating method and 4115±150 a BP using the H-L model method.

Petrogenesis of the Chagangnuoer deposit,NW China:a general model for submarine volcanic-hosted skarn iron deposits

The Chagangnuoer deposit is a typical submarine volcanic rock-hosted skarn iron deposit, where orebodies mainly occur in andesitic rocks of the Dahalajunshan Formation （DF） with skams well developed around orebodies. The volcanic rocks of the DF in the Chagangnuoer deposit display calc-alkaline characteristics. The ore-bearing andesitic rocks have high ^87Sr/^86Sr（i） （0.7058-0.7117） and low εNd（t） （-3.51 to 1.67）. They probably formed through mixing of basaltic melts and the induced crustal melts. LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon ages of 250 and 305 Ma are obtained for the granite and granodiorite in the Chagangnuoer deposit, respectively, which are signifi- cantly younger than the timing of the skarn formation （316 Ma）. These age data indicate that the granitoids have no contribution to the skarn and associated iron mineralization. This paper proposes a new genetic model for submarine volcanic rock-hosted skam iron deposits, in which the iron mineralization, skarn formation and volcanic magmatism are necessary aspects of the same system; the iron separates and concentrates from the silicate magma in the form of Fe（II） carbonate complex. While this conceptual model is largely based on observations on the Chagangnuoer deposit, it may have general significance for skam-type iron deposits associated with submarine volcanic rock sequences and warrants further testing and improvement.

Properties prediction of fly ash blended concrete using hydration model

Fly ash is an industrial by-product from coal combustion and has been widely used as mineral admixture in normal and high strength concretes. Owing to the pozzolanic reaction between calcium hydroxide and fly ash, compared with Portland cement, the hydration of concrete containing fly ash is much more complex. In this paper, by considering the production of calcium hydroxide in cement hydration and its consumption in the pozzolanic reaction, a numerical model is proposed to simulate the hydration of concrete containing fly ash. Similar to the hydration reaction of cement, fly ash activity is divided into three processes: an initial dormant period, a phase-boundary reaction process and a diffusion process. The mutual interactions between the cement hydration and fly ash reaction are considered through the available calcium hydroxide amount and available capillary water amount in the system. The properties of hardening fly ash blended concrete, such as the reaction degree of fly ash, chemically bound water, calcium hydroxide, and compressive strength, are determined from the contributions of cement hydration and fly ash pozzolanic reaction. The evaluated results show good accordance with the experimental results.

Hydrocarbon accumulation mechanism and structure of largescale volcanic weathering crust of the Carboniferous in northern Xinjiang,China

The Upper Carboniferous in northern Xinjiang, China was formed in a post-collisional depression and collapsed structural setting. Within the Upper Carboniferous, volcanic rocks and source rocks alternate over a wide region. At the end of the Carboniferous, these layers were uplifted by plate collisions and subsequently weathered and leached. Volcanic weathering and leaching led to the establishment of weathered crusts that can be divided into five layers. Corrosion and crumble zones in these layers form favorable reservoirs. Volcanic weathering crust formed in sub-aerially exposed paleogeomorphic areas; the five relatively continuous layers are generally preserved in paleogeomorphic lowland and slope regions, but the upper soil layer is usually absent in structurally higher parts of the rock record. The thickness of the weathered layer has a positive nonlinear ex- ponential relationship to the duration of weathering and leaching, and the dynamic equilibrium time of weathered crust is about 36.3 Ma. The thickest weathered layer （~450 m） is located in fracture zones. Weathered crusts are possible from a range of volcanic rocks with different lithologies, given sufficient time for weathering and leaching. The combination of volcanic weathered crust and source rocks results in three types of hydrocarbon accumulation models： （1） sequences of volcanic weathered crust interbedded with source rocks, （2） a quasi-layered weathered volcanic core located above source rocks, and （3） volcanic rocks associated with pectinate unconformities adjacent to source rocks. Each of these three types has the potential to form a giant stratigraphic reservoir of volcanic weathered crust. This knowledge has changed the traditional exploration model of searching for favorable lithologic and lithofacies zones in volcanic rocks, and has changed the viewpoint that the Carboniferous does not have the genetic potential to be the basement of the basin in northern Xinjiang. The concepts developed here are of great scientific significance and application for focusing oil and gas exploration on volcanic weathered crust. As such, the Paleozoic volcanic weathered crust in the midwestern part of China may possibly contain large-scale stratigraphic reservoirs and thus could be a new oil and gas exploration target in the future.
