Horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio inversion method based on multimodal forest optimization algorithm

The exploration of urban underground spaces is of great significance to urban planning,geological disaster prevention,resource exploration and environmental monitoring.However,due to the existing of severe interferences,conventional seismic methods cannot adapt to the complex urban environment well.Since adopting the single-node data acquisition method and taking the seismic ambient noise as the signal,the microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio(HVSR)method can effectively avoid the strong interference problems caused by the complex urban environment,which could obtain information such as S-wave velocity and thickness of underground formations by fitting the microtremor HVSR curve.Nevertheless,HVSR curve inversion is a multi-parameter curve fitting process.And conventional inversion methods can easily converge to the local minimum,which will directly affect the reliability of the inversion results.Thus,the authors propose a HVSR inversion method based on the multimodal forest optimization algorithm,which uses the efficient clustering technique and locates the global optimum quickly.Tests on synthetic data show that the inversion results of the proposed method are consistent with the forward model.Both the adaption and stability to the abnormal layer velocity model are demonstrated.The results of the real field data are also verified by the drilling information.

Joule-Thomson inversion curve prediction by using equation of state

In this paper five equations of state are tested for checking their ability to predict the Joule-Thomson inversion curve.These five equations of state are:Mohsennia-Modarres-Mansoori(MMM),Ji-Lemp(JL),modified Soave-Redlich-Kwang(SRK)equation of state by Graboski(MSRK1),modified SRK equation of state by Peneloux and Rauzy(MSRK2),and modified Peng-Robinson (PR)equation of state by Rauzy(PRmr).The investigated equations of state give good prediction of the low-temperature branch of the inversion curve,except for MMM equation of state.The high-temperature branch and the peak of the inversion curve have been observed,in general,to be sensitive to the applied equation of state.The values of the maximum inversion temperature and maximum inversion pressure are calculated for each component used in this work.

Geoacoustic Inversion Based on Modal Dispersion Curve for Range-Dependent Environment

A geoacoustic inversion method is proposed based on the modal dispersion curve of two-wideband explosive signals for range-dependent environment. It is applied to the wideband explosive sound source data from the South China Sea in 2012. The travel time differences of different modes at various frequencies and distances are extracted by warping transform. The mean bottom acoustic parameters are inverted by matching the theoretical modal time differences to that of the experimental data. The inversion results are validated by using other explosive signals at different distances.

The Joule–Thomson effect of (CO_(2)+H_(2)) binary system relevant to gas switching reforming with carbon capture and storage(CCS)

The Joule-Thomson effect is one of the important thermodynamic properties in the system relevant to gas switching reforming with carbon capture and storage(CCS). In this work, a set of apparatus was set up to determine the Joule-Thomson effect of binary mixtures(CO_(2)+ H_(2)). The accuracy of the apparatus was verified by comparing with the experimental data of carbon dioxide. The Joule-Thomson coefficients(μ_(JT)) for(CO_(2)+ H_(2)) binary mixtures with mole fractions of carbon dioxide(x_(CO_(2))= 0.1, 0.26, 0.5,0.86, 0.94) along six isotherms at various pressures were measured. Five equations of state EOSs(PR,SRK, PR, BWR and GERG-2008 equation) were used to calculate the μ_(JT)for both pure systems and binary systems, among which the GERG-2008 predicted best with a wide range of pressure and temperature.Moreover, the Joule-Thomson inversion curves(JTIC) were calculated with five equations of state. A comparison was made between experimental data and predicted data for the inversion curve of CO_(2). The investigated EOSs show a similar prediction of the low-temperature branch of the JTIC for both pure and binary systems, except for the BWRS equation of state. Among all the equations, SRK has the most similar result to GERG-2008 for predicting JTIC.

Integrative method in lithofacies characteristics and 3D velocity volume of the Permian igneous rocks in H area, Tarim Basin

This paper introduces horizon control, seismic control, logging control and facies control methods through the application of the least squares fitting of logging curves, seismic inversion and facies-controlled techniques. Based on the microgeology and thin section analyses, the lithology, lithofacies and periods of the Permian igneous rocks are described in detail. The seismic inversion and facies-controlled techniques were used to find the distribution characteristics of the igneous rocks and the 3D velocity volume. The least squares fitting of the logging curves overcome the problem that the work area is short of density logging data. Through analysis of thin sections, the lithofacies can be classified into eruption airfall subfacies, eruption pyroclastic flow subfacies and eruption facies.

Joule-Thomson Expansion of d-Dimensional Charged Anti-de Sitter Black Holes Surrounded by Quintessence with a Cloud of Strings Background

Effects of the dimension on the Joule-Thomson expansion are investigated in details by considering the case of d-dimensional(d≥5)charged anti-de Sitter(AdS)black hole which is surrounded by the quintessence with a cloud of strings background.Firstly,the thermodynamic quantity of this black hole is reviewed.Secondly,three important features of the Joule-Thomson expansion in different dimensions are discussed,including the Joule-Thomson coefficients,inversion curves,and isenthalpic curves.Finally,the effects of the charge,the quintessence and strings cloud parameters on the Joule-Thomson expansion in the case of six-dimensional black hole are studied.

Joule-Thomson expansion of charged dilatonic black holes

Based on the Einstein-Maxwell theory,the Joule-Thomson(J-T)expansion of charged dilatonic black holes(the solutions are neither flat nor AdS)in(n+1)-dimensional spacetime is studied herein.To this end,we analyze the effects of the dimension n and dilaton fieldαon J-T expansion.An explicit expression for the J-T coefficient is derived,and consequently,a negative heat capacity is found to lead to a cooling process.In contrast to its effect on the dimension,the inversion curve decreases with charge Q at low pressures,whereas the opposite effect is observed at high pressures.We can observe that with an increase in the dimension n or parameter a,both the pressure cut-off point and the minimum inversion temperature T_(min)change.Moreover,we analyze the ratio T_(min)/T_(c)numerically and discover that the ratio is independent of charge;however,it depends on the dilaton field and dimension:for n=3 andα=0,the ratio is 1/2.The dilaton field is found to enhance the ratio.In addition,we identify the cooling-heating regions by investigating the inversion and isenthalpic curves,and the behavior of the minimum inversion mass M_(min)indicates that this cooling-heating transition may not occur under certain special conditions.

Joule-Thomson expansion of the regular(Bardeen)-AdS black hole

We study the Joule-Thomson expansion of the regular black hole in an anti-de Sitter background,and obtain the inversion temperature for the Bardeen-AdS black hole in the extended phase space.We investigate the isenthalpic and inversion curves for the Bardeen-AdS black hole in the T-P plane and find that the intersection points between them are exactly the inversion points discriminating the heating from the cooling process.The inversion curve for the regular(Bardeen)-AdS black hole is not closed and there is only a lower inversion curve,in contrast to the Van der Waals fluid.Most importantly,we find that the ratio between the minimum inversion temperature and the critical temperature for the regular(Bardeen)-AdS black hole is 0.536622,which is larger than any known ratio for the singular black hole.The large ratio for the Bardeen-AdS black hole may be due to the repulsive de Sitter core near the origin of the regular black hole.
