WIND GENERATED WAVES IN LAKE OKEECHOBEE1

ABSTRACT: The study of wind generated waves is important because waves affect sediment resuspension in lakes. Measurements of wind velocity and wave elevation were made at three different stations in Lake Okeechobee. Significant wave heights were computed using a direct count from the recorded data, and verified by the root-mean-square value approach. The correlation between wind stress and significant wave height also was analyzed. The data revealed a strong correlation. In addition to field measurements, a Boussinesq-type wind-wave model was developed to simulate wind-generated, long-propagating waves. This model included the effects of wind stress and bottom viscous dissipation. Wave elevation and velocity field were evaluated numerically. A six-day simulation using 1996 wind data was conducted. Simulated significant wave heights were found to agree reasonably well with measured values. A predictive wind-wave model provides information about wind generated waves, which is used to compute bottom shear stresses required for sediment resuspension studies.

What is the lesson from the unprecedented event over antarctica in 2002

Varotsos (2002a,b), suggested that both the smaller-sized ozone hole over Antarctica and its splitting in two holes in September 2002 occurred due to an unprecedented major sudden stratospheric warming caused by very strong planetary waves propagated in the southern hemisphere. Subsequently, a NASA press release of December 6, 2002, also reported the prevalence of very strong planetary waves in Antarctica. The aim of this Letter is to further discuss the morphology of the Antarctic ozone hole, to detect the causes that allowed the Antarctic stratosphere to exhibit this exceptional warming and to examine what it denotes about its mechanisms. Concerning the morphology, among the principal findings is that the ozone hole split occurred not only in the stratosphere but extended in the lower altitudes (upper troposphere). As to the causes of the major sudden stratospheric warming of 2002, a comparison with the previous warmings in Antarctica since 1964 is made. The smaller-sized Antarctic ozone hole of 2002 is approximately equal to that of 1988 when a strong sudden stratospheric warming occurred. If only the destruction of ozone by chlorofluorocarbons resulted in the delayed sudden stratospheric warmings in Antarctica, then the early sudden stratospheric warmings of 1988 and 2002 would not have occurred, since chlorofluorocarbon loading of the stratosphere has remained relatively stable in recent years. Furthermore, it appears that the El Nino characteristics in 1988 and 2002 are not similar.     

One-step estimation method and nomogram to predict safety distances of pressurized gas pipelines from blast sources

Pressurized gas pipelines may be endangered by accidental or intentional activities causing excess ground vibrations leading to failure. Thus, many papers have been published on this issue, yet most of these efforts suffer from complexity and inability to ascertain that all engaged factors are taken into account. These factors are attributed, namely, to explosion source, explosion-ground interaction, energy transfer through the ground, ground-pipeline interaction, and response of the pipeline. The deterministic method developed previously by the author has derived useful prediction mathematical formulas that can be used to calculate, either the stand-off distance of purposefully used explosives, or the maximum quantity of explosives to be used at a given distance, or the equivalent stress of a pipeline induced by an explosive charge at a given standoff distance. The method can also be applied to accidental blast events in factories or other activities. Yet, the complex formulas developed are hard to be used in the field and a simpler approach is needed to facilitate and accelerate in-field estimations. Thus, a nomogram was prepared to make the safety estimations easy and fast and taking into account all engaged critical factors starting from the explosion source through the integrity of the structure.     

增大库水位日降幅联合降雨条件下张家祠堂滑坡稳定性分析

库水位下降对滑坡的稳定性变化有重要影响。以张家祠堂滑坡为例,利用Geo-studio软件的Seep/W模块和Slope/W模块分别对滑坡渗流场和稳定性进行数值模拟计算,分析降雨和不同库水位下降速率对该滑坡稳定性的影响规律,并结合滑坡变形的调查情况和数值模拟计算结果对该滑坡进行稳定性预测与评价。结果表明:张家祠堂滑坡为降雨型滑坡,相对于降雨,增大库水位日降幅对滑坡稳定性影响非常有限;预测在非汛期增大库水位日降幅条件下,滑坡整体基本稳定;滑坡在中前部虽有变形,但滑坡整体并未形成连续贯通的软弱面,因此该滑坡目前为基本稳定;滑坡在最危险工况(库水位日降幅1.2m/d+降雨)下的稳定性系数为1.154,滑坡处于基本稳定状态。

滑坡灾害孕育-激发过程中的水-岩相互作用

降雨造成的地下水与斜城岩土体之间的复杂作用--水-岩相互作用不仅是滑城灾害的主要激发因素,它的滑坡孕育过程中也发挥着重要作用.以往的相关研究主要集中在滑城激发有关的突隙水压力效应的滑城临界降雨量、地下水富集斜坡的稳定性评价、水-力耦合及地下水对岩石的软化效应等方面.孕育过程在滑城研究中居于重要的基础性地位.以流-固耦合等理论为基础对岩体进行时效变形预测,对于斜坡研究中居于重要的,但是,由于大多数滑城的孕育都是在近地表的侵蚀性地球化学环境中进行的,与深埋地下空间的开挖问题存在明显区别.作为水-岩相互作用主要类型之一的水-岩化学作用是造成这种差别的主要因素.深入开展滑城灾害孕育过程中的水-岩化学作用研究不仅对斜城维护、加固及滑城预报是重要的，而且可以促进水-力双重耦合、水-热-力及水-热-力-化学多重耦合等复杂理论的发展.     

滑坡灾害空间预测结果的评价方法

介绍了目前对滑坡灾害空间预测结果进行定量评价的3种方法,并对每种方法进行了分析和比较。基于将预测结果与历史滑坡相对比的评价思路,引入了"滑坡比"的概念,定义其为:相应易滑度指标值的邻域所包含的预测单元中,曾发生滑坡的单元所占比例;并指出,好的预测结果应满足:易滑度指标值越大,滑坡比越大,且指标值相对较大时,相应滑坡比应较接近于1。在此基础上,提出采用预测率函数曲线所围面积之比,即"面积比"评价指标来对预测结果进行评价,并通过理论分析和实例,证明了该评价方法较现有方法确有改进。
