The runnel of Reeve Hill, Casey Station (66°16.855′S, 110°31.045′E), Antarctica, which occurs intermittently only during the brief austral summer showed high colonization by microalgaedominated mainly by Cyanobacteria mats and diatoms. 9 freshwater microalgae species which includesOscillatoria frac-ta, Oscillatoriasp., Navicula muticopsis, Pinnularia borealis, Nitzschiasp., Prasiola crispa, Chlorococcumsp., Syene-chococcus aeruginosusandSyenechococcus maiorwere recorded during the study. The algal community in the runnel to beobserved closely resembles that in the larger running water ecosystems in the continent. However, intrusion of seawater,direct exposure to sunlight and influence of sea current in the lower part changes the species community. The lower run-nel showed total dominance consists mainly of the marine planktonic Bacillariophycea. Other species detected includes Flagilaria kerguelensis, Flagilaria linearis, Eucampia antarctica, Thalassiosira tumida,Pseudonitzschia lineola, Pseud-onitzschia turgiduloides, Achnanthes brevipesand Odontella litigiosa. Lower algal species diversity observed in this studysuggests that the number of species obtained is related to the area of environment from which the samples were derived.The local assemblages simply contain species that is favored by the environmental conditions.展开更多

Then, a numerical simulation on the coupling interaction between SFT and water current was conducted by finite element method （FEM）. The comparison .between the results obtained from experiment and those derived from the numerical simulation shows that the experimental results approximately tally with the simulational ones. As a result, the relationships between water current velocities and the mechanical behaviors of tube, such as the annular and axial strains, internal forces （ axial force and bending moment）, and deformations of the tube structure and the forces borne by the tension cables, were concluded.展开更多
