The construction of high precision geostrophic currents based on new gravity models of GOCE and satellite altimetry data

The new gravity field models of gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer(GOCE),TIM_R6 and DIR_R6,were released by the European Space Agency(ESA)in June 2019.The sixth generation of gravity models have the highest possible signal and lowest error levels compared with other GOCE-only gravity models,and the accuracy is significantly improved.This is an opportunity to build high precision geostrophic currents.The mean dynamic topography and geostrophic currents have been calculated by the 5th(TIM_R5 and DIR_R5),6th(TIM_R6 and DIR_R6)release of GOCE gravity field models and ITSG-Grace2018 of GRACE gravity field model in this study.By comparison with the drifter results,the optimal filtering lengths of them have been obtained(for DIR_R5,DIR_R6,TIM_R5 and TIM_R6 models are 1°and for ITSG-Grace2018 model is 1.1°).The filtered results show that the geostrophic currents obtained by the GOCE gravity field models can better reflect detailed characteristics of ocean currents.The total geostrophic speed based on the TIM_R6 model is similar to the result of the DIR_R6 model with standard deviation(STD)of 0.320 m/s and 0.321 m/s,respectively.The STD of the total velocities are 0.333 m/s and 0.325 m/s for DIR_R5 and TIM_R5.When compared with ITSG-Grace2018 results,the STD(0.344 m/s)of total geostrophic speeds is larger than GOCE results,and the accuracy of geostrophic currents obtained by ITSG-Grace2018 is lower.And the absolute errors are mainly distributed in the areas with faster speeds,such as the Antarctic circumpolar circulation,equatorial region,Kuroshio and Gulf Stream areas.After the remove-restore technique was applied to TIM_R6 MDT,the STD of total geostrophic speeds dropped to 0.162 m/s.

Effect of wall friction on oscillation of velocity at the head of the gravity current

Velocity oscillations at the head of the gravity current were investigated in experiments and numerical simulations of a locked-exchange flow.A comparison of the experimental and numerical simulations showed that the depth and volume of the released fluid affected the oscillations in the velocity of the gravity current.At the initial stage,the head moved forward at a constant velocity,and velocity oscillations occurred.The head maximum thickness increased at the same time as the head,which did not have a round,and accumulated buoyant fluid due to the buoyancy effect intrusion force.The period of accumulation and release of the buoyant fluid was almost the same as that observed for the head movement velocity;the head movement velocity was faster when the buoyant fluid accumulated and slower when it was released.At the viscous stage,the forward velocity decreased proportionally to the power of 1/2 of time,since the head was not disturbed from behind.As the mass concentration at the head decreased,the gravity current was slowed by the viscous stage in its effect.At the viscous stage,the mass concentration at the head was no longer present,and the velocity oscillations also decreased.

Turbulent Evolution and Energetics of Lock-Release Gravity Currents

Turbulence modeling by use of the renormalization group （RNG） κ-ε model for Reynolds-stress closure is carried out to reveal the evolution dynamics for lock release gravity currents with the so-called slumping, inviscid and viscous phases. Field evolution of the turbulent current is investigated, and time transition of global energy balance is presented between the terms of potential energy, averaged kinetic energy, turbulent kinetic energy, turbulent dissipation and viscous dissipation. It is well illustrated that turbulent dissipation and viscous force are respectively dominant in the inviscid and viscous phases, while inertia effect accounts for the slumping.

It’s have been presented to illuminate the dominant flow and transport phenomena in the presence of river, stream and wetland ecology, stream corridor restoration, in the case of accidental pollution spills. The characterized of the local kinematic field, i.e. the local velocity and vorticity fields, the measurement methods include particle image velocimetry (PIV) at the water surface using a technique similar to large scale of particle image velocimetry (LSPIV).

Preparation of electrolytic copper powders with high current efficiency enhanced by super gravity field and its mechanism

Super gravity field was employed to enhance electrolytic reaction for the preparation of copper powders.The morphology, microstructure and size of copper powders were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,X-ray diffractometry and laser particle analysis.The results indicated that current efficiencies of electrolytic copper powders under super gravity field increased by more than 20% compared with that under normal gravity condition.Cell voltage under super gravity field was also much lower.The size of copper powders decreased with the increase of gravity coefficient(G).The increase of current efficiency can be contributed to the disturbance of electrode/electrolyte interface and enhanced mass transfer of Cu2+ in super gravity field.Meanwhile,the huge gravity acceleration would promote the detachment of copper powders from electrode surface during electrolytic process,which can prevent the growth of copper powders.

Capturing the baroclinic effect in non-Boussinesq gravity currents

Direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional gravity currents with small and medium density variations are performed using different non-Boussinesq buoyancy approximations. Taking the full low-Machnumber approximation as the reference, the accuracy of several buoyancy terms are examined. It is found that all considered buoyancy terms performed well in the cases with small density variation. In the cases with medium density variation, the classical gravitational Boussinesq’s buoyancy term showed the lack of accuracy, and a simple correction did not make any improvement. In contrast, the recently introduced second-order buoyancy term showed a significantly higher accuracy. The present results and our previous derivations indicate that simple algebraic buoyancy approximations extended from the Boussinesq’s gravitational buoyancy are unlikely to achieve an accuracy beyond first order. Instead, it seems necessary to solve at least one extra Poisson equation for buoyancy terms to capture the higher-order baroclinic effect. An approximate analysis is also provided to show the leading term of the non-Boussinesq effect corresponding to gravity.

The patterns of surface capillary-gravity short-crested waves with uniform current fields in coastal waters

A fully three-dimensional surface gravitycapillary short-crested wave system is studied as two progressive wave-trains of equal amplitude and frequency, which are collinear with uniform currents and doubly-periodic in the horizontal plane, are propagating at an angle to each other. The first- and second-order asymptotic analytical solutions of the short-crested wave system are obtained via a perturbation expansion in a small parameter associated with the wave steepness, therefore depicting a series of typical three-dimensional wave patterns involving currents, shallow and deep water, and surface capillary waves, and comparing them with each other.

Energy and momentum of general spherically symmetric frames on the regularizing teleparallelism

In the context of the covariant teleparallel framework, we use the 2-form translational momentum to compute the total energy of two general spherically symmetric frames. The first one is characterized by an arbitrary function H（r）, which preserves the spherical symmetry and reproduces all the previous solutions, while the other one is characterized by a parameter ξ which ensures the vanishing of the axial of trace of the torsion. We calculate the total energy by using two procedures, i.e., when the WeitzenbSck connection Гα^β is trivial, and show how H（r） and ξ play the role of an inertia that leads the total energy to be unphysical. Therefore, we take into account Гα^β and show that although the spacetimes we use contain an arbitrary function and one parameter, they have no effect on the form of the total energy and momentum as it should be.

Simulation of Gravity Currents Using VOF Model

By the Volume of Fluid (VOF) multiphase flow model two-dimensional gravity currents with three phases including air are numerically simulated in this article. The necessity of consideration of turbulence effect for high Reynolds numbers is demonstrated quantitatively by LES (the Large Eddy Simulation) turbulence model. The gravity currents are simulated for h not equal H as well as h = H, where h is the depth of the gravity current before the release and H is the depth of the intruded fluid. Uprising of swell occurs when a current flows horizontally into another lighter one for h not equal H. The problems under what condition the uprising of swell occurs and how long it takes are considered in this article. All the simulated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results available.

THE EFFECT OF SLOPING BOTTOM TOPOGRAPHY ON THE SOURCE-DRIVEN DEEP TROPICAL CIRCULATION

An inverted one-and-a-half layer reduced-gravity linear shallow-waer model with lin-early varied topography is formulated, in which a uniform mid-depth upweling is prescribed The analyti-cal particular solution of order single equation in u1 showed that the linear topography inclinationforces the water column to move pole-ward with increased planetary vorticity or to produce relative vortici-ty, and hence to depress the cross-equatorial transport of deep western boundary current. It is notewnrthythat the topography Plays the same role as Newtonian Cooling in forcing on the absolute voricity.

Seasonal and interannual variabilities of mean velocity of Kuroshio based on satellite data

Combining sea level anomalies with the mean dynamic topography derived from the geoid of the EGM08 global gravity field model and the CLS01 mean sea surface height, this study examined the characteristics of global geostrophic surface currents and the seasonal and interannual variabilities of the mean velocity of the Kuroshio （the Kuroshio source and Kuroshio extension）. The patterns of global geostrophic surface currents we derived and the actual ocean circulation are basically the same. The mean velocity of the Kuroshio source is high in winter and low in fall, and its seasonal variability accounts for 18% of its total change. The mean velocity of the Kuroshio extension is high in summer and low in winter, and its seasonal variability accounts for 25% of its total change. The interannual variabilities of the mean velocity of the Kuroshio source and Kuroshio extension are significant. The mean velocity of the Kuroshio source and ENSO index are inversely correlated. However, the relationship between the mean velocity of the Kuroshio extension and the ENSO index is not clear. Overall, the velocity of the Kuroshio increases when La Nina occurs and decreases when E1 Nino occurs.

Research on Characteristics of Density Current Under the Action of Waves

In this paper, the characteristics of density current under the action of waves are described with the help of flume experiment and theoretical analysis. The study shows that turbid water under the action of the waves can present three types of motion, i. e. significant stratification, fragile stratification and strong mixing. The motion gf turbid;,ater presents significant stratification when (H/D)/root Delta rho/rho less than or equal to 4.5, generally this state is known as density current. The formulas of motion velocity, thickness, and discharge of density current moving on horizontal bottom are derived by use of basic equations such as momemtum equation, equation of energy conservation and continuity equation of fluid. The time-average velocity and the thickness of density current under the action of waves have a relationship with such parameters as relative density (Delta rho/rho), wave height (H), and water depth (D). When these parameters are determined, the time-average thickness and motion velocity of density current are also determined. The relative thickness of density current (D-t/D) decreases with the increase of Delta rho/rho and increases with the increase of H/D. On the other hand, the motion velocity of density current increases with the increase of Delta rho/rho and decreases with the increase of the relative thickness (D-t/D) of density current. It is shown that the calculated results are in agreement with those of the flume experiment.

Numerical Solution of Lock-Release Gravity Current with Viscous Self-Similar Regime

Lock-release gravity currents with a viscous self-similar regime are simulated by use of the renormalization group (RNG) k-ε model for Reynolds-stress closure. Besides the turbulent regime with initially a slumping phase of a constant current front speed and later an inviscid self-similar phase of front speed decreasing as t -1/3 (where t is the time measured from release), the viscous self-similar regime is satisfactorily reproduced with front speed decreasing as t -4/5, consistent with well known experimental observations.

顺坡而下的重力流(浊流)与沿坡流动的底流(等深流)之间的交互作用是当前国际沉积学研究的前沿领域与薄弱环节,交互作用沉积体系及其沉积特征相较于重力流或等深流沉积体系仍“知之甚少”。本文总结了论文作者所识别的两种典型交互作用沉积体系的形态特征、沉积特征与沉积样式,查明了交互作用成因优质储层的识别标志与分布模式。深水单向迁移水道具有不对称的剖面形态与持续稳定向陡岸一侧迁移叠加的沉积样式,可进一步分为迁移方向与参与其建造底流流向相同(顺向迁移)和相反(反向迁移)两种类型;深水单向迁移朵叶具有长轴方向与区域等深线平行的形态特征以及侧向迁移延伸方向与区域等深线一致的沉积样式。重力流(浊流)与底流(等深流)交互作用所形成的底流改造砂/交互作用砂具有与浊积砂迥异的沉积特征,如富含有孔虫和生物骨骼,无年龄倒序现象出现,突变非侵蚀接触顶界面,含有大洋水团所伴生的底栖有孔虫,可见牵引流沉积特征(如两到三段式累积概率分布特征、单峰正态的频率分布特征和位于C-M图牵引流沉积区等),这些沉积特征可作为底流改造砂的识别相标志。在剖面上,底流改造砂总是向水道迁移一侧不断迁移叠加,具有“单向叠加、有序展布”的分布模式;在平面上,底流改造砂总是沿区域等深线侧向迁移,具有“单向偏移、侧向叠置”的分布模式;时空上形成连续性好、分布范围广、面积大的超大型优质深水油气储集体。

底流与重力流交互作用下的朵体沉积特征:以东非鲁伍马盆地中新统为例

底流与重力流的交互作用是重要的深水沉积作用类型,对海底沉积物再分配及海底地貌改造具有重要控制作用。目前对底流与水道中重力流的交互作用研究较成熟,但对底流影响下朵体的沉积特征研究较少。本研究以东非鲁伍马盆地古近系中新统朵体为目标,综合利用三维地震和测井资料,通过地震相和地震属性分析,确定朵体分布及内部岩性特征。在定量恢复重力流流速基础上,结合区域洋流资料,揭示底流与重力流交互作用对朵体沉积的控制作用。结果表明受向北流动的底流影响,早期水道向南迁移,北侧天然堤发育,在水道南侧形成负向地形,导致后期朵体沉积于水道南侧。底流作用下的朵体沉积特征受底流和朵体内重力流流向的影响。当底流与朵体延伸方向相反且斜交时,由于重力流流速远大于底流,朵体在逆底流流向一翼(南侧),重力流与底流流向几乎相反,底流影响被抑制,朵体从轴部向末端逐渐变薄,泥质含量增加;在顺底流流向一翼(北侧),重力流方向与底流斜交,重力流顶部泥质被底流淘洗出去,朵体以砂质沉积为主。当底流与重力流流向接近正交时,朵体受底流影响整体上一致,重力流顶部泥质被淘洗,逆底流流向一翼朵体以厚层砂质沉积为主,向顺底流流向一翼砂体厚度减小、泥质含量增加。

Episodic Carbonate Deposits on the Triassic Continental Slope in Southern China

Abstract Episodic carbonate deposits on the Triassic continental slope in southern China are mainly composed of gravity-flow limestones and contourite limestones. Gravity-flow limestones were well developed in the lower and middle Yangtze area in the Early Triassic and in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi area in the Early and Middle Triassic. Five fundamental types of gravity-flow limestones are recognized: slide limestone, debris-flow limestone, grain-flow limestone, turbidite limestone and rockfall limestone. They form six types of assemblage beds: slide-debris-flow limestones, slide-debris-flow-turbidite limestone, slide-debris-flow-grain-flow-turbidite limestone, rockfall-debris-flow limestone, debris-flow-turbidite limestone, and debris-flow-grain-flow-turbidite limestone. The first two were formed mainly in the Early Triassic slopes. The Middle Triassic slopes were characterized by widespread rockfall limestone. Growth faults, storms, earthquakes and oversteepened slopes are considered to be the probable triggers of the gravity flows.

NONLINEAR DYNAMICAL ANALYSIS OF BIFURCATION AND CONFLUENCE OF THE PACIFIC WESTERN BOUNDARY CURRENTS

In this paper, we analyze the bifurcation and the confluence of the Pacific western boundary currents by an analytical approach. Applying the conservation law, the geostrophic balance relation and the Bernoulli integral to a reduced gravity model, we get a quantitative relation for the outflow and the inflow, and establish the related formulae for the width and the veering angle of offshore currents under the inflow condition. Furthermore, a comparison between the volume transport based on the observation data and the analytical value for the Pacific western boundary currents is presented, which validates the theoretical analysis.
