This paper presents comprehensive 3D numerical investigations on depositions of particles flowing through a horizontal pipe
loop consisting of four bends. The multiphase mixture model available in FLUENT 6.2 was used in this study. In this numerical
simulation, five different particle sizes have been used as secondary phases to calculate real multiphase effect in which
inter-particle interaction has been considered. The deposition of particles along the periphery of the pipe wall was investigated
as a function of particle size and fluid velocity. The simulations showed that near the upstream of the bends, maximum particle
concentration occurred at the bottom of the pipe. However, downstream the bends, the maximum particle concentration occurred
at an angle of 60° from the bottom. The larger particles clearly showed deposition near the bottom wall except downstream.
As expected, the smaller particles showed less tendency of deposition and lesser at higher velocity. This numerical investigation
showed qualitative agreement with the experiments conducted by Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation,
Melbourne team for similar conditions. 相似文献

A technique is presented to solve analytically the turbulent diffusion equation for the concentration of a passive contaminant
emitted from an elevated continuous source into the atmosphere. A generalized method of solution using Sturm–Liouville and
WKB theories is developed to overcome difficulties due to the height‐dependent wind velocity and diffusion coefficient appearing
in the diffusion equation. The method presented in this paper is able to derive an asymptotic expression for the concentration
obtained from the solution of the atmospheric diffusion equation which involves explicitly inhomogeneous wind velocity and
diffusion coefficient. The diffusion equation model derived from this method can be applied in a practical prediction of contaminant
concentration in a turbulent atmosphere.

Sediments are disturbed by wind frequently, especially in the shallow lakes. The characteristics of resuspended sediment particles
in Taihu Lake were studied under different wind velocities. It showed that sediment particles suspended obviously and particle
number in overlying water increased directly under high wind-induced disturbance. Suspended solid (SS) concentration was less
than 50 mg/l when the wind velocity was below 3.0 m/s, however, it increased to more than 300 mg/l when the wind velocity
was 10.0 m/s. Two methods were used to measure the fractal characteristics of particles. One was light scattering and the
other was image analysis. The three-dimensional fractal dimensions of suspended particles, measured by light scattering, were
between 2.26 and 2.44; correspondingly, the two-dimensional fractal dimensions, calculated by image analysis, were between
1.44 and 1.77. Moreover, the three-dimensional fractal dimensions were directly proportional to two-dimensional fractal dimensions.
The characteristic length of particles was calculated by image analysis. The minimum characteristic length was close to 8.5
μm when the wind velocity was 1.5 m/s at 50 cm beneath lake surface, while, the maximum characteristic length was approximate
to 24 μm when the wind velocity was 10 m/s at the depth of 150 cm. 相似文献

Sediment and suspended particulate matter samples from 24 stations in the Gulf of Kavala have been examined for lead contamination. Grain size analysis and organic matter content were also performed. Total – anthropogenic sediment lead concentrations and enrichment factors at stations close to harbors and chemical industries were found higher (up to 209–135μg/g and 4.12 respectively), in relation to concentrations from the rest of the coastal zone. In the above areas, increased suspended particulate lead in the bottom of the water column was also recorded (up to 109μg/g). Total sediment lead concentrations composed of high natural Pb background increased with decreasing grain size, suggesting their association with the fine fractions of the sediments (31.1–66.0% mud presence) and the organic matter content (6–9% higher values). Overall, higher total lead concentrations in the sediments, determined by this work, appear to be significantly different from those reported for the Gulf of Kavala in previous studies and similar to those detected in other highly contaminated eastern Mediterranean coastal areas. 相似文献

Sediment traps were deployed in the three major basins of Lake Erie, and the central (Mississauga) basin of Lake Ontario,
and refurbished seasonally over the period 2000–2002. In Lake Ontario, sediment down-flux rates and corresponding contaminant
down-flux rates were highest in winter during periods of unstratified thermal conditions, and generally increased with depth
due to the influence of resuspended bottom sediments during all sampling periods. Lake Ontario suspended sediments exhibited
the highest concentrations of metals; concentrations of mercury and lead frequently exceeded guideline values for bottom sediments.
Contaminant levels in Lake Ontario suspended sediments were similar to concentrations in bottom sediments in the same area.
There was a spatial trend toward higher suspended sediment metals concentrations from the eastern basin to the western basin
of Lake Erie, which is similar to the trend in bottom sediment contamination. In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, which is
the deepest area of the lake, there was no trend in down-flux rate with depth in 2001; however, down-flux rates increased
with depth in 2002. Suspended sediments in the western basin of Lake Erie were determined to be largely resuspended bottom
sediments; all western basin samples collected in the study exceeded the guideline value for mercury (0.486 μg/g). 相似文献

A mathematical model which represents the transport processes of heavy metals and fine sediments in a fluvial stream was developed.
The model consists of a three-equation system: the first one for total chromium concentration in the water column, C
Tw, the second one for total suspended sediment concentration, S
w, and the third one for chromium concentration in bed sediments, r. The third equation represents the chromium exchange between the water column and bed sediments by two processes: diffusion
of soluble chromium and erosion/deposition of chromium sorbed to sediments. The basic assumption of the model is the instantaneous
equilibrium. The main parameters are the partition coefficients in the water column and bed sediments, the depth of the active
bed sediment layer, and the mass transfer coefficient between the water column and sediment pore water. The numerical model
approximates the equations of advection–dispersion for chromium in water and suspended sediments by using a Eulerian third-order
scheme. Numerical vs. analytical solutions were considered satisfactory for different initial, boundary, and sedimentological
conditions. In order to estimate the impact of a chromium side discharge, the model was implemented for the Salado River in
a reach of 65.6-km long (Santa Fe, Argentina). The results showed the effect of chromium discharge on almost the whole reach,
then the vulnerability of the water quality in the Salado River when the flow was low was evidenced. When comparing the computed
and measured results, the former showed a reasonable representation of the presence of chromium in water and bed sediments. 相似文献

This study deals with numerical simulation of flow fields and dispersion of model passive admixtures in the planetary boundary
layer in a 10 × 10 km square area, centered on the Czech Republic’s Temelín Nuclear Power Plant. Numerical calculations of
three-dimensional flow fields with eight basic wind directions given for the inlet boundary of the computational domain are
performed using the FLUENT CFD code with the standard k – ε turbulence model. The resultant modeling of the flow fields provides information as to probable local directions and velocities
of flow vectors on a horizontal scale of 100 m, which are consistent with the data given for the boundaries of the calculation
area in the framework of a scale of 10 km. The modeled flow fields generate the input data for related Lagrangian simulation
of the ground concentration and deposition fields of passive particles assumedly emitted at the site of the Temelín plant.
Simulated plumes describe eight cases of potential ground-level distribution of model passive admixtures in the area. 相似文献

A three dimensional diffusion model has been developed for computing the concentration of PM10 from Kerman Cement Plant, Iran.
This model incorporates source-related factors, meteorological factors, surface roughness, and settling particles to estimate
pollutant concentration from continuous sources. The study focused on the local environmental impact of Kerman Cement Plant.
The performance of the model was found to be in good agreement with measured data; the average absolute percent deviation
is 25.53%. In addition, the result of this modeling shows that the PM10 concentration in the ambient air at distances of about
600–1,400 m from the stacks is higher than the WHO guidelines of an annual average of 260 μg/m3. 相似文献

The concentrations of trace metals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, and Fe) from suspended particulate matter (SPM) and biota in Izmir Bay
(Eastern Aegean Sea) were studied in order to evaluate the environmental impact of the anthropogenic metals before building
of Wastewater Treatment Plant. SPM samples were collected in wet and dry periods from Izmir Bay. Metal concentrations in SPM
(Cu, 0.36–2.19; Mn, 0.07–11.3; Ni, 0.43–7.81; Zn, 7.33–269; Fe, 1.00–266 μgdm − 3) were comparable to those reported for other moderately polluted bays. Maximum metal concentrations in SPM were observed
during summer season. SPM metal concentrations displayed a clear spatial trend with values increasing with proximity to urban
centers. Cu and Zn concentrations in SPM were especially high in the inner bay. SPM were found to be contaminated by Zn. The
vertical profile of Mn, Zn, and Ni concentrations in SPM had a maximal value at the upper layer and decreased to minimal value
at the bottom layer of the inner bay in summer, in contrast to the observed pattern of Fe and Cu. Maximum Cu concentrations
were obtained in Penaeus kerathurus. Also, maximum Zn and Fe concentrations were found in Mytilus galloprovincialis. Relatively high Cu levels were found in Sardina pilcardus and Mullus barbatus than other fish species. Besides, Cu levels were lower in Diplodus annularis and Merluccius merluccius. Finally, metal levels in biota tissues were lower than the limits of European Dietary Standards and Guidelines. 相似文献

Three-dimensional turbulent flow and dispersion of gaseous pollutants carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in a
road tunnel was modeled using the standard k–ε turbulence model and solved numerically using the finite volume method. Vehicle emissions were estimated from the measured
traffic flow rates and modeled as banded line sources along the tunnel floor. The effects of fan ventilation and piston effect
of moving vehicles on the airflow and pollutant dilution were examined. The numerical results reveal that a peak velocity
exists near the tunnel floor due to the piston effect of vehicles. The cross-sectional concentrations of air pollutants are
non-uniformly distributed and concentrations rise with downstream distance. The piston effect of vehicles can alone provide
25%–34% dilution of air pollutants in the tunnel, compounded 43%–70% dilution effect according to the ventilation condition. 相似文献

Concentrations of heavy metals were determined in the water column (including the sea-surface microlayer, subsurface, mid-depth
and bottom water) and sediments from Singapore’s coastal environment. The concentration ranges for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb
and Zn in the seawater dissolved phase (DP) were 0.34–2.04, 0.013–0.109, 0.07–0.35, 0.23–1.16, 0.28–0.78, 0.009–0.062 and
0.97–3.66 μg L−1 respectively. The ranges for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) were 0.16–0.73, 6.72–53.93,
12.87–118.29, 4.34–60.71, 1.10–6.08 and 43.09–370.49 μg g−1, respectively. Heavy metal concentrations in sediments ranged between 0.054–0.217, 37.48–50.52, 6.30–21.01, 13.27–26.59,
24.14–37.28 and 48.20–62.36 μg g−1 for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, respectively. The lowest concentrations of metals in the DP and SPM were most frequently found
in the subsurface water while the highest concentrations were mostly observed in the SML and bottom water. Overall, heavy
metals in both the dissolved and particulate fractions have depth profiles that show a decreasing trend of concentrations
from the subsurface to the bottom water, indicating that the prevalence of metals is linked to the marine biological cycle.
In comparison to data from Greece, Malaysia and USA, the levels of metals in the DP are considered to be low in Singapore.
Higher concentrations of particulate metals were reported for the Northern Adriatic Sea and the Rhine/Meuse estuary in the
Netherlands compared to values reported in this study. The marine sediments in Singapore are not heavily contaminated when
compared to metal levels in marine sediments from other countries such as Thailand, Japan, Korea, Spain and China. 相似文献

Throughfall and open field bulk precipitation were measured at three coniferous sites during 1995–2002 in the framework of
ICP Integrated Monitoring and at five coniferous sites during 1996–2002 in the framework of ICP Forests (Level II). The coniferous
canopies acted as a sink for nitrate and ammonium and as a source for base cations: Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+. The estimated share of SO4–S dry deposition from total deposition was 1.5–4 times higher for dormant period compared to growing period. During the study
period average annual throughfall and bulk deposition of SO4–S decreased significantly, 2.8 and 2.3 times, respectively.
Throughfall enrichment with base cations increased in the order Mg < Na < Ca < K. Using Na as a tracer ion, average dry deposition
and canopy leaching were calculated. Leaching was the dominant process for TF enrichment by potassium. Leaching of base cations
occurred during growing as well as dormant period.
The calculated internal flux of Ca2+ and Mg2+ varied in the range of 0.6–2.0 and 0.6–1.2 kg ha−1 per year in spruce and pine stands, respectively. The internal circulation of K+ was significantly higher (8.9–10.9 kg ha−1 per year) in spruce stands than in pine stands (2.7–4.4 kg ha−1 per year). 相似文献

A transient two-dimensional advection–diffusion model describing the turbulent dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere
has been solved via the Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT), by two different schemes. The first approach performs
numerical integration of the transformed system using available routines for initial value problems with automatic error control.
In spite of the time-consuming character of such a scheme, its flexibility allows the handling of problems involving time-dependent
meteorological parameters such as wind speed and eddy diffusivities. The second approach works fully analytically being thus
intrinsically more robust and economic, although not directly applicable in dealing with time-dependent parameters. For the
test problem used in this work, both methods agree very well with each other, as well as with a known analytical solution
for a simpler formulation used as benchmark. The impact of the longitudinal diffusivity on the stiffness of the ordinary differential
equation (ODE) system arising from the integral transformation has been assessed through the processing time demanded to solve
it when the numerical approach is used. The observed CPU times show that the analytical approach is clearly preferable unless
the problem involves time-dependent parameters. 相似文献

Measurements of dry deposition velocities for ozone and aerosol particles has been measured over a pine forest in the south-west of France by the eddy correlation method. Low frequency fluctuations in the variations of scalars can introduce erroneous values of vertical fluxes for ozone and aerosol particles but also, in some cases of low wind, for momentum and heat. The dry deposition velocity variations are similar for ozone and aerosol, although the mechanism of deposition are different. In the case of aerosol particles a parametrization, not far from that of Wesely et al. (1985) can be given. 相似文献

Enrichment and fractionation of heavy metals in bed sediments of River Narmada, India 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A metal fractionation study on bed sediments of River Narmada in Central India has been carried out to examine the enrichment
and partitioning of different metal species between five geochemical phases (exchangeable fraction, carbonate fraction, Fe/Mn
oxide fraction, organic fraction and residual fraction). The river receives toxic substances through a large number of tributaries
and drains flowing in the catchment of the river. The toxic substances of particular interest are heavy metals derived from
urban runoff as well as municipal sewage and industrial effluents. Heavy metals entering the river get adsorbed onto the suspended
sediments, which in due course of time settle down in the bottom of the river. In this study fractionation of metal ions has
been carried out with the objective to determine the eco-toxic potential of metal ions. Although, in most cases (except iron)
the average trace/heavy metal concentrations in sediments were higher than the standard shale values, the risk assessment
code as applied to the present study reveals that only about 1–3% of manganese, <1% of copper, 16–19% of nickel, 4–20% of
chromium, 1–4% of lead, 8–13% of cadmium and 1–3% of zinc exist in exchangeable fraction and therefore falls under low to
medium risk category. According to the Geo-accumulation Index (GAI), cadmium shows high accumulation in the river sediments,
rest of other metals are under unpolluted to moderately polluted class. 相似文献

The lichen transplant monitoring methodology has been tested for source apportionment of metal deposition around the Cu smelter
and former mining town of Karabash. Transplants of the lichen Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl., collected from a ‘control’ site in July 2001, were set up at 10 stations along a 60 km NE–SW transect centred on Karabash.
Samples were collected after 2 and 3 month monitoring periods and analysed using established wet-chemical techniques. The
sources of particulate investigated were the smelter blast furnace and converter, floatation tailings, metallurgical slags,
local road dusts, top soils and ambient airborne total suspended particulate. From multi-element least-squares modelling the
blast furnace was the main source of particulate in transplants close to the smelter (<10 km). Particulate from the converter,
with relatively high Pb and Zn, was found to be more widely dispersed, being finer-grained and so having a longer atmospheric
residence time. Ambient airborne particulate, sampled in Karabash town using air-pump apparatus, was almost entirely derived
from the converter, very different to the lichen transplants from the same area which mainly contained blast furnace particulate.
It is proposed that lichens close to the smelter mainly trapped larger blast furnace-derived particulate as they have a low
capture efficiency for smaller (converter) particles. The study demonstrates the utility of lichen transplants for monitoring
atmospheric deposition and highlights the caution required in their use to assess ambient air quality in human health studies. 相似文献

Residential, industrial, commercial, institutional and recreational activities discharge degradable and non-degradable wastes
that reach the coastal water through rivers and cause coastal pollution. In the present study, mass transport of pollutants
by Adyar and Cooum Rivers to the coastal water as a result of land-based discharges was estimated during low tide. The lowest
and the highest flow recorded in Adyar varied from 514.59 to 2,585.08×106 litres/day. Similarly, the flow in Cooum River fluctuated between 266.45 and 709.34×106 litres/day. The present study revealed that the Adyar River transported 53.89–454.11 t/d of suspended solids, 0.06–19.64 t/d
of ammonia, 15.95–123.24 t/d of nitrate and 0.4–17.86 t/d of phosphate, 0.004–0.09 kg/d of cadmium, 0.15–1.29 kg/d of lead
and 3.03–17.58 kg/d of zinc to the coastal water owing to its high discharge. Similarly, the Cooum River transported 11.87–120.06 t/d
of suspended solids, 0.08–58.7 t/d of ammonia, 6.11–29.25 t/d of nitrate and 0.66–10.73 t/d of phosphate, 0.003–0.021 kg/d
of cadmium, 0.02–0.44 kg/d of lead and 1.36–3.87 kg/d of zinc. A higher concentration of suspended solids was noticed in post
monsoon and summer months. An increase in the mass transport of ammonia, nitrate, phosphate in summer months (April and May)
and an increase in the mass transport of cadmium, lead and zinc were observed in monsoon months (October–December) in both
the rivers. Thus mass transport of pollutants study reveal that Cooum and Adyar Rivers in Chennai contribute to coastal pollution
by transporting inorganic and trace metals significantly through land drainage. 相似文献

Influence of burning of fireworks on particle size distribution of PM10 and associated barium (Ba) were studied at a congested residential cum commercial area of Nagpur city, India. Sampling was
carried out by cascade impactor having 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameters of <10, 9, 5.8, 4.7, 3.3, 2.1, 1.1, 0.7, and <0.4 μm,
2 days before diwali, during diwali, celebrations of marriage functions, and New Year’s Eve. Noticeably, increased levels
of PM10 and Ba were observed during diwali as compared to days before diwali and other activities. PM10 levels were increased by four to nine times whereas Ba levels were increased by eight to 20 times higher in alveolar region,
when compared with the levels observed before diwali. Probability of deposition of Ba mass in alveolar region varied between
14 and 27 ng/h with higher deposition when the burning of fireworks activity was lower near the site. Trimodal distribution
of Ba was observed on the first 2 days of diwali at 0.4–2.1, 2.1–4.7, and 4.7 to less than PM10 micrometer range. While on the third day, it appeared bimodal with 70% contribution in coarse fraction whereas on the fourth
day, distribution appeared unimodal with 66% contribution in alveolar region (<0.4–1.1 μm). Distribution of Ba varied with
respect to particle size, in accordance with the intensity of the fireworks used on different days and distance between the
burning of firecrackers from the monitoring site. 相似文献

Spilled oil can interact with suspended particles in marine environments and form oil–mineral aggregates (OMAs). Some OMAs
with densities higher than seawater density can settle to the seedbed to pose potential risks to benthic organisms. To understand
the transport and fate of oil associated with OMAs and evaluate their potential risks, an integrated hydrodynamic and fate/transport
model has been used in a hypothetical case study of 1,000 tonnes of South Louisiana oil spilled in the Bristol Channel. Several
scenarios have been simulated under different wave and current conditions. By using OMA properties derived from laboratory
measurements reported in literature, it has been found that the risk to the benthos is unlikely for the two hypothetical cases
with strong currents, but it is likely for the wave only (weak current) case. The effects of other factors such as OMA properties
and sediment concentration were also examined in terms of their effects on the transport process and risks. 相似文献

Samples of water, sediment and suspended particulates were collected from 13 sites in the middle and lower reaches of the
Yellow River in China. Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) concentrations in different phases of each sample were determined by Gas
Chromatogram GC-FID. The results are shown as follows: (1) In the Xiao Langdi–Dongming Bridge section, PAEs concentrations
in water phase from the main river ranged from 3.99 × 10−3 to 45.45 × 10−3 mg/L, which were similar to those from other rivers in the world. The PAEs levels in the tributaries of the Yellow River
were much higher than those of the main river. (2) In the studied branches, the concentration of PAEs in sediment for Luoyang
Petrochemical Channel (331.70 mg/Kg) was the highest. The concentrations of PAEs in sediment phase of the main river were
30.52 to 85.16 mg/Kg, which were much higher than those from other rivers in the world. In the main river, the concentration
level of PAEs on suspended solid phases reached 94.22 mg/Kg, and it reached 691.23 mg/Kg in the Yiluo River – one tributary
of the Yellow River. (3) Whether in the sediment or on the suspended solid phases, there was no significant correlation between
the contents of PAEs and TOC or particle size of the solid phase; and the calculated Koc of Di (2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP)
in the river were much less than the theoretical value, which inferred that PAEs were not on the equilibrium between water
and suspended solid phases/sediment. (4) Among the measured PAEs compounds, the proportions of DEHP and di-n-butyl phthalate
(DBP) were much higher than the others. The concentrations of DEHP exceeded the Quality Standard in all the main river and
tributary stations except those in the Mengjin and Jiaogong Bridge of the main river. This indicates that more attention should
be paid to pollution control and further assessment in understanding risks associated with human health. 相似文献
