ADAPTATION TO ARIDITY: WATER DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA1

ABSTRACT The Republic of South Africa, legatee of a three-century history of recurring drought, is firmly committed to a program of the optimum use of its water for the national benefit. Its water law encourages centralized planning in that water is held to be the property of the state and is assignable without requiring acquiescence by the basin or province of origin. Interbasin diversions from the Tugela River to the Vaal River Basin, from the Orange River to the Fish and Sundays River Basins, and from several basins to Cape Town are under construction as are facilities for water importation from Lesotho and Angola. For satisfaction of demands beyond the year 2000 the nation may depend increasingly on a shift of its power production and water-using industry from the coal fields of the central plateau to nuclear power development with associated desalination along its coasts. Alternatively, and preferably, it may cooperate in a co-prosperity bloc in Southern Africa aiding the economies of its neighbors by development for mutual advantage of the water and power resources of the Okavango and other northern rivers.     

危险天气下4D改航回归航迹规划方法

为解决航班因危险天气临时绕飞导致的航迹冲突问题,提出一种面向航迹运行(TBO)的4D改航回归航迹规划方法。首先,根据航空器性能限制,栅格化空域,使用蚁群算法与轮盘赌法,以改航路径最短为目标,生成三维空域内危险天气下的改航路径;然后,提出航迹回归概念,根据预计到达时间(ETA)计算改航速度,对齐时间得到4D改航航迹;最后,以我国中部某主要航段为运行场景,选取3个航迹回归点,采用“调速+等待”策略,计算避让危险天气的三维可行航迹,以燃油消耗与排放成本的计算结果与改航航迹产生的冲突为参考,评估各改航方案。结果表明:当选择最晚回归点时,改航方案3燃油消耗为5.9 t,温室气体排放量为26.3 t,是3种方案中消耗最少的,但需解脱冲突2次;选择最早回归点的改航方案1未与其他航班出现冲突,但燃油与排放相比方案3增加0.1%和0.2%。以上结果证实,该方案可实现危险天气下选取不同回归点时的4D改航回归航迹规划。

Climatic and stream-flow controls on tree growth in a Western montane riparian forest

Humans have severely impacted riparian ecosystems through water diversions, impoundments, and consumptive uses. Effective management of these important areas is becoming an increasingly high priority of land managers, particularly as municipal, industrial, and recreational demands for water increase. We examined radial tree growth of four riparian tree species (Pinus jeffreyi, Populus trichocarpa, Betula occidentalis, and Pinus monophylla) along Bishop Creek, California, and developed models relating basal area increment (BAI) and relative basal area increment (RBAI) to climatic and stream flow variables. Between years 1995–1999, univariate regression analysis with stream flow explained 29 to 61% of the variation in BAI and RBAI among all species except P. trichocarpa; growth by P. trichocarpa was not significantly related to stream flows over this period. Stepwise linear regression indicated that species responded differently to climatic variables, and models based on these variables explained between 33 to 86% of variation in BAI and RBAI during the decade of the 1990s. We examined branch growth of P. trichocarpa for sensitivity to differences in stream flow regimes and found that annual branch growth did not vary between a high- and low-flow site, but that annual branch growth was significantly higher in wet years with greater stream flows. Our results support the establishment of site-specific management goals by land managers that take into account all of the important tree species present in riparian ecosystems and their differential responses to altered hydrologic condition. Instream flow requirements for maintaining tree growth and vigor are only one of the species-specific responses that need to be evaluated, and these assessments should attempt to separate experimentally stream-flow (managed) controls from climatic (unmanaged) controls on growth.     

巨型水电站深孔门槽金属损伤特性

目的 研究巨型水电站深孔门槽处的水动力特性,并探究门槽金属在恶劣流态下的损伤行为。方法 采用k-ε双方程紊流模型和有限体积离散方法,对电站深孔水流进行数值模拟,研究深孔局部体型的变化对水流的影响,并通过冲刷腐蚀喷嘴实验,探究流速对门槽钢衬的腐蚀影响。结果 深孔局部体型的变化对水流压强和流速分布的影响很大,100 m量级水头可使深孔出口最大流速达45 m/s,且流速越大,门槽钢衬的点蚀电流增大。结论 304不锈钢的点蚀趋势随着流速的增大而增加,并且随着流速继续提升至真实运行工况,冲刷腐蚀和空蚀问题会愈加突出,需采取一定防护措施。
