基于分形理论的黄河内蒙古段河势演变特征及其与凌汛灾害关联研究

寒区河道凌汛灾害河势“弯道效应”的量化评估十分重要。基于分形理论提出河道横断面-纵剖面-平面多维度河势分形维数计算方法及其物理机制，并探讨黄河内蒙古段不同维度河势演变分形特征及其与凌汛灾害的关联关系。结果表明，黄河内蒙古段不同维度河势均具有多尺度自相似分形特征，且具有多年记忆周期的长程相关性；冰坝（严重性冰塞）发生频次与河道主槽弯曲分形维数呈正相关指数型函数关系，与河相系数、深泓点高程和河段平均底坡分形维数负相关，与水深-面积分形维数正相关，总体表明冰坝灾害更易发生于主槽偏移摆动大、蜿蜒曲折、河湾发育程度高的宽浅型弯曲河道，研究成果可为凌汛期冰塞冰坝灾害易发河段诊断及预测提供重要理论依据。     

Relationship between adjustment of low water level and utilization of water depth in Shashi Reach in middle Yangtze River

Hydrological, sediment, and bathymetric data of the Shashi Reach in the middle Yangtze River for the period of 1975–2018 were collected, and the characteristics of low water level changes and their impacts on utilization of water depth for navigation were investigated. The results showed that, during the study period, the Shashi Reach riverbed was significantly scoured and incised, with cross-sectional profiles showing overall narrowing and deepening. This indicated a strong potential to improve the water depth of the channel. The analysis of the temporal variation of in-channel topographical features showed that the Taipingkou diara underwent siltation and erosion, with its head gradually scoured and relocated downstream after 2008, and the Sanbatan diara continued to shrink and migrate leftwards. Low water levels with the same flow rate over the study period decreased. For instance, from 2003 to 2020, the water level at the Shashi hydrological station decreased to 1.37 m with a flow rate of 6 000 m³/s. Furthermore, the designed minimum navigable water level of the Shashi Reach was approximately 2.11 m lower than the recommended level. In terms of utilization of the channel water depth, continuous scouring of the river channel is expected to result in a reduction in discharge at the Taipingkou mouth, which will improve the water depth conditions of the channel during the dry season in the Shashi Reach. With several channel regulation projects, the 3.5-m depth of the Shashi Reach would basically be unobstructed. This promotes utilization of the shipping route from the Taipingkou south branch to the Sanbatan north branch as the main navigation channel during the dry season. Considering the factors of current water depth and the clear width limitation of the navigation hole at the Jingzhou Yangtze River Bridge, this route can still be favored as the main navigation channel with a 4.5-m depth during the dry season.     

荆江大堤杨家湾险段地下水渗流场特征的模拟研究

采用美国地质调查局(USGS)的Visual Modflow软件,通过对荆江大堤监利县杨家湾险段不同水位条件下的模拟和在高水位下(10 m水头差)不同处理模式的模拟(减压井模式、防渗墙模式、压浸模式和改变人工填土渗透系数模式、渊塘模式),结果表明:(1) 人工填土的性质对渗透破坏的影响显著;(2) 减压井有利于降低含水层中的水头,但由于减压井中的混合水位为地表高程,与同点无减压井条件下基本相同,其出流带的减压效果不显著;(3) 由于该剖面防渗墙处岩层的渗透性较小,与防渗墙体的渗透性差异不大,防渗墙的作用不明显;(4) 当存在渊塘或天窗时,渊塘及其周边是发生渗透破坏的重点区域,可以通过减压处理防止渗透破坏。     

A computerized potentiometric system for structural and functional anthropometric measurements

A prototype computerized potentiometric system was developed for structural and functional anthropometric measurements. The system uses four potentiometric units, a power supply unit, and a computer with analogue/digital (A/D) converter to measure the position of a movable stylus in three (X, Y, Z) dimensions. The system is easy to use, more accurate, and more cost effective than other existing systems. It has been found to be accurate for the intended application, faster than the manual methods available, and much less expensive than the photographic and opto-electronic systems currently available. For use in the industrial setting, a portable version of the system is envisaged in the future.     

不同因素对城陵矶水位变化贡献率的分析

为分析不同因素对城陵矶水位变化的贡献率,基于1955~2014年实测水文资料,利用Mann-kendall检验法、回归分析等方法分析城陵矶水位变化特征及其成因。结果表明,下荆江裁弯和葛洲坝的运行对城陵矶水位流量关系造成较大影响,同流量下城陵矶水位增幅明显,而三峡水库对城陵矶水位流量关系影响不大;1972~2002年水位流量出现"此消彼长"的现象,主要是因为干流顶托作用加强和断面逐年淤高对水位的抬高值大于因流量减小对水位的减小值所致;城陵矶水位于1967年发生突变,这与1967年中州子裁弯有一定联系,而四水入湖流量的减少是1977年流量发生突变的主要原因;通过构建模型,计算得出下荆江裁弯、葛洲坝和三峡水库的运行在各自所在时期对城陵矶水位变化的贡献率分别为50.3%、50.5%、56.8%。     

Determination of worker physiological cost in workspace reach envelopes

Oxygen uptake (VO₂), heart rate (HR) and myoelectric activity (EMG) were measured while performing a repetitive task in the normal, maximum and extreme workspace reach envelopes. The VO₂ and HR increased significantly from the normal to the maximum to the extreme workspace reach envelope. The average increases in VO₂ when compared to the normal workspace were 19 and 52%, respectively. The corresponding average increases in HR were 6 and 14%, respectively. The increase in EMG for anterior deltoid, upper trapezious and erector spinae showed a significant increase from normal to maximum and from maximum to extreme workspaces. The average increases in EMG for anterior deltoid, upper trapezious and erector spinae, compared to the normal workspace were 96, 37 and 48% respectively for the maximum workspace and 193, 95 and 106% for the extreme workspace, respectively. The research indicated for the first time that during task performance, worker physiological cost would increase significantly with the increase in workspace reach levels.     

EFFECT OF DRILLPIPE ROTATION ON BOREHOLE CLEANING FOR EXTENDED REACH WELL

Wellbore cleaning is a key technology for the Extended Reach Drilling (ERD). The success of drilling extended reach wells depends directly upon the quality of wellbore cleaning. The rotation of the drillpipe, and hydraulic and rheological parameters, are the key factors for wellbore cleaning. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is applied to simulate solid-liquid two-phase flows in wellbore annulus. The annual flow field with the presence of drillpipe rotation is described through analyzing various rotation conditions. The results indicate that the quasi-spiral flow is the main flow pattern for liquid-solid transport in the horizontal annulus. The influence of rotation on the cuttings transport is also investigated, as the rotation of drillpipe increases the disturbance of liquid to solid in annulus. As a result, the solid flow becomes favorable and the solid volume is reduced. Comparisons with previously published results are also performed to prove the importance of drillpipe rotation in the wellbore clearing for the ERD.

对荆南三口地区水资源短缺程度进行分析研究,为实现区域水资源可持续合理利用提供科学依据。在水资源短缺评价研究中,前期研究成果大多采用常权法确定评价指标,致使评价指标产生状态失衡。将变权理论引入到水资源短缺程度分析中,从而确定评价指标变权重,并结合灰色关联法,构建水资源短缺程度分析的变权灰色关联法模型并加以应用。最终得出荆南三口地区三县的水资源短缺程度均为轻度缺水,其缺水程度排序为:华容县南县安乡县。利用变权灰色关联法计算水资源短缺程度,方法可行,结果合理,满足了评价指标均衡性要求。     

浔江防洪堤对西江中下游洪水的归槽影响

基于河道洪水演算原理,建立符合河流水力特性及其变化规律的边滩滞洪水库调节法流量演算模型、校正因数法水位演算模型,利用实测洪水和防洪堤资料进行归槽或还原演算,综合分析防洪堤对洪水归槽的影响。保护区滞洪容积占次洪水总量9．50％的浔江防洪堤对西江中下游洪水过程的归槽影响大于对洪峰的归槽影响,而且洪水类型和干支流组合不同,影响的程度也不相同：对流量过程、洪峰流量影响的最大归槽流量、最大归槽流量比重分别为3680m^3／s、9．63％,2700m^3／s、5．90％,对水位过程、洪峰水位影响的最大变幅为0．60、0．22m。浔江防洪堤造成的洪水归槽并未显著改变西江中下游洪水特性,干支流洪水遭遇、区间降雨和雨洪重叠仍然是形成西江中下游大洪水的主要因素,西江中下游洪涝频繁是气候和流域环境变化综合影响的结果。
