Progress in in-situ stress measurement from the 1950s in China is briefly introduced. Stress relief by overcoring technique and hydraulic fracturing： technique are the two main techniques for in-situ stress measurement in China at present. To make them suitable for application at great depth and to increase their measuring reliability and accuracy, a series of techniques have been developed. Applications and achievements of in-situ stress measurement in Chinese rock engineering, including mining, geotechnical and hydropower engineering, and earthquake prediction, are introduced. Suggestions for further development of in-situ stress measurement are also proposed.展开更多

However, it is incapable of accurately simulating turbulent flows, where the normal Reynolds stresses play an important role. A depth averaged nonlinear k-ε model is developed taking into account the stress relations described by Speziale. The depth averaged linear and nonlinear k-ε models can both be used to calculate the flow field near a side discharge into open channel flow, but the results of the nonlinear model are in much closer agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, the technique of changing the 2D linear k-ε program into a depth averaged, nonlinear program is presented.展开更多
