Experimental Study on Wave Characteristics of Stilling Basin with a Negative Step

Stilling basin with a negative step is an important structure in hydraulic systems, because it can avoid atomization and decrease scouring problems. Although stilling basins with a negative step have attracted much attention from researchers, few researchers have focused on the wave characteristics. In this research, an experimental study on the wave characteristics of stilling basins with a negative step was carried out. The wave height, average period, wave probability density and power spectrum along the flow direction of different stilling basins with a negative step were described based on the wave theory, and the results indicate discharge and step height have a significant effect on the wave characteristics. The relationships between the different characteristic wave heights, and the empirical formula for the relative characteristic wave height are obtained. Finally, the dimensionless standard deviation at the end of the stilling basin with a negative step is linearly related to the flow-energy ratio and the relative step height under B-jump.

单裂缝中携砂液流动规律研究

裂缝中携砂液流动是一种固液两相流,携砂液的运移与支撑剂的铺置是水力压裂裂缝保持导流能力的关键. 本文基于FLUENT 流体计算软件,采用双流体模型,将颗粒看作拟流体,携砂液按照牛顿流体处理,分析了支撑剂体积分数αs、阿基米德数Ar、颗粒雷诺数Re以及裂缝入口边界对流动规律的影响. 研究结果表明：携砂液在裂缝中的流动过程中,发展成为支撑剂体积分数不同的四个区域,包括砂堤区、颗粒悬浮区、颗粒滚流区和无砂区;支撑剂的沉降程度随着支撑剂体积分数和阿基米德数的增加而增加,而随着雷诺数增加而降低;入口为网眼型时,进入裂缝后过流面积的增加导致流速突降,使得支撑剂更容易在入口处产生堆积,在同一入口流速下,较均匀入口的工况铺砂高度大.     

屯田余绪中的近世边疆社会嬗变—以1719至1949年间甘肃省金塔县水利事务为中心的研究

以公元1719至1949年间甘肃金塔县水利事务为主线,可以分析这一因屯田而兴起的边疆社会在两百余年间的演化特征。清代屯田时期,金塔县水利事务完全由政府控制,屯田结束后逐渐转向民间自行管理;但政府却出于对边疆地区民众领袖易引发社会不稳定的成见,刻意将士绅集团排斥于水利管理事务之外。民国时期随着外源性水利危机的爆发,向外部“争水”成为决定区域社会生死存亡的头等大事,政府转而支持士绅阶层积极“争水”,士绅由此控制了全县水利事务。“争水”成功的士绅阶层很快涣散并劣化,致使金塔内部水利逐渐废弛、社会矛盾重重,并非迫切的“对外争水”成为凝聚区域社会的唯一共识。从屯田到争水,金塔社会在近世大多数时间中始终为单一维度社会管制目标所牵引,并未走上繁荣、有序、富于活力的发展之路。这其中涉及政治、环境等复杂因素的交相作用,但自屯田时代所遗留的制度化要素扮演了重要角色。短时期的屯田活动,造就了长时期存在于边疆区域的“屯田社会”,其流风余绪影响至今。

不同围压作用下非均匀岩石水压致裂过程的数值模拟

从岩石细观非均匀性的特点出发,提出一个描述非均匀材料渗流和破裂相互作用的数值模型。在这个数值模型中,单元的力学、水力学性质根据统计分布而变化,以体现材料的随机不均质性,材料在开裂破坏过程中流体压力传递通过单元渗流,损伤耦合迭代来实现。算例表明,该模型能较好地模拟出岩石类材料在水力压裂作用下,微结构非均匀分布和不同围压比对破裂模式、失稳压力的影响,非均匀性导致试件的开裂压力、失稳压力明显不同,裂纹扩展路径不规则发展,模拟结果和实验结果较为一致。     

Optimization of thin film solid phase microextraction and data deconvolution methods for accurate characterization of organic compounds in produced water

The continued rise in the extraction of unconventional oil and gas across the globe poses many questions about how to manage these relatively new waste‐streams. Produced water, the primary waste by‐product, contains a diverse number of anthropogenic additives together with the numerous hydrocarbons extracted from the well. Due to potential environmental hazards, it is critical to characterize the chemical composition of this type of waste before proper disposal or remediation/reuse. In this work, a thin film solid phase microextraction approach was developed and optimized to characterize produced water. The thin film device consisted of hydrophilic‐lipophilic balance particles embedded in polydimethylsiloxane and immobilized on a carbon mesh surface. These devices were chosen to provide broad extraction coverage and high reusability. Various parameters were evaluated to ensure reproducible results while minimizing analyte loss. This optimized protocol, consisting of a 15 min extraction followed by a short (3 s) rinsing step, enabled the reproducible analysis of produced water without any sample pretreatment. Extraction efficiency was suitable for both produced water additives and hydrocarbons. The developed approach was able to tentatively identify a total of 201 compounds from produced water samples, by using one‐dimensional gas chromatography hyphenated to mass spectrometry and data deconvolution.

The dicalcium orthosilicate and its hydraulic activity examination by DTA-TG and calorimetric methods

The belite material produced from limestone and waste silica was the subject of numerous investigations. In order to improve the hydraulic activity, some amount of barite was added to the raw mixture. The properties of belite phase were studied by use of differential thermal analysis, calorimetry and other methods. The influence of barium on the hydraulic activity of belite has been thus confirmed. The hydraulic activity increase in the presence of barium depends on the stabilizing action of additive accompanied by the proper thermal treatment in the α′-Ca₂SiO₄ stability range.     

Discharge estimation under uncertainty using variational methods with application to the full Saint‐Venant hydraulic network model

Estimating river discharge from in situ and/or remote sensing data is a key issue for evaluation of water balance at local and global scales and for water management. Variational data assimilation (DA) is a powerful approach used in operational weather and ocean forecasting, which can also be used in this context. A distinctive feature of the river discharge estimation problem is the likely presence of significant uncertainty in principal parameters of a hydraulic model, such as bathymetry and friction, which have to be included into the control vector alongside the discharge. However, the conventional variational DA method being used for solving such extended problems often fails. This happens because the control vector iterates (i.e., approximations arising in the course of minimization) result into hydraulic states not supported by the model. In this paper, we suggest a novel version of the variational DA method specially designed for solving estimation‐under‐uncertainty problems, which is based on the ideas of iterative regularization. The method is implemented with SIC², which is a full Saint‐Venant based 1D‐network model. The SIC² software is widely used by research, consultant and industrial communities for modeling river, irrigation canal, and drainage network behavior. The adjoint model required for variational DA is obtained by means of automatic differentiation. This is likely to be the first stable consistent adjoint of the 1D‐network model of a commercial status in existence. The DA problems considered in this paper are offtake/tributary estimation under uncertainty in the cross‐device parameters and inflow discharge estimation under uncertainty in the bathymetry defining parameters and the friction coefficient. Numerical tests have been designed to understand identifiability of discharge given uncertainty in bathymetry and friction. The developed methodology, and software seems useful in the context of the future Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite mission. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
