Effective water resources management programs have always incorporated detailed analyses of hydrological and water quality
processes in the upland watershed and downstream waterbody. We have integrated two powerful hydrological and water quality
models (SWAT and CE-QUAL-W2) to simulate the combined processes of water quantity and quality both in the upland watershed
and downstream waterbody. Whereas the SWAT model outputs water quality variables in its entirety, the CE-QUAL-W2 model requires
inputs in various pools of organic matter contents. An intermediate program was developed to extract outputs from SWAT at
required subbasin and reach outlets and converts them into acceptable CE-QUAL-W2 inputs. The CE-QUAL-W2 model was later calibrated
for various hydrodynamic and water quality simulations in the Cedar Creek Reservoir, TX, USA. The results indicate that the
two models are compatible and can be used to assess and manage water resources in complex watersheds comprised of upland watershed
and downstream waterbodies. 相似文献

Estimation of urban sensible heat flux using a dense wireless network of observations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Daniel F. Nadeau W. Brutsaert M. B. Parlange E. Bou-Zeid G. Barrenetxea O. Couach M.-O. Boldi J. S. Selker M. Vetterli 《Environmental Fluid Mechanics》2009,9(6):635-653
The determination of the sensible heat flux over urban terrain is challenging due to irregular surface geometry and surface
types. To address this, in 2006–07, a major field campaign (LUCE) took place at the école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
campus, a moderately occupied urban site. A distributed network of 92 wireless weather stations was combined with routine
atmospheric profiling, offering high temporal and spatial resolution meteorological measurements. The objective of this study
is to estimate the sensible heat flux over the built environment under convective conditions. Calculations were based on Monin–Obukhov
similarity for temperature in the surface layer. The results illustrate a good agreement between the sensible heat flux inferred
from the thermal roughness length approach and independent calibrated measurements from a scintillometer located inside the
urban canopy. It also shows that using only one well-selected station can provide a good estimate of the sensible heat flux
over the campus for convective conditions. Overall, this study illustrates how an extensive network of meteorological measurements
can be a useful tool to estimate the sensible heat flux in complex urban environments. 相似文献

Gravity-driven preferential flow (fingering) can greatly affect how one fluid displaces another in the subsurface. We have studied the internal properties of these preferential flow paths for water, with and without surfactants, infiltrating into oil saturated porous media using synchrotron X-rays, and miniature tensiometers to characterize fluid content and pressure relationships. We also used a light transmission technique to visualize overall flow pattern. Capillary pressure and water content decrease behind the front, similar to fingers in air-dry sand, with quantitative differences for five different surfactants with surface tensions ranging from 4–21 g/s2. Using unstable flow theory, the finger widths, capillary pressure drops within the fingers, finger tip lengths, and finger splitting dynamics were scaled successfully with interfacial tension, fluid density, and the contact angle using the fingers in air–water systems as the reference. 相似文献

Monthly composites of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Indices (NDVI), derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVILRR), were transformed linearly into monthly evaporation rates and compared with detailed hydrologic-model simulation results for five watersheds across the United States. Model-simulated monthly evaporation values showed high correlations (mean R2= .77) with NDVI-derived evaporation estimates. These latter estimates, used in a classical water balance model, resulted in equally accurate simulations of monthly runoff than when the model was run to estimate monthly evaporation via soil moisture accounting. Comparison of NDVI-derived evaporation estimates with pan data showed promise for transforming NDVI values into evaporation estimates under both wet and water-limiting conditions without resorting to the application of any kind of calibrated hydrologic models. 相似文献

Cross-shore interactions between the ocean and a coastal aquifer have been studied extensively, whereas the corresponding along-shore case has seldom been examined. This paper presents a numerical model that simulates two-dimensional groundwater flow averaged over the thickness of a coastal aquifer. The model is used to examine the essential features of tide-induced, along-shore effects on an aquifer adjacent to a cross-shore river. The results show that the tide, which fluctuates the water level in the river, induces groundwater table fluctuations and oscillating flows in the along-shore direction. This occurs even at locations much further inland than tidal cross-shore fluctuations can propagate. However, the magnitude of along-shore water table fluctuations and flow velocity at a given cross-shore distance decreases with the distance from the river in the same manner as cross-shore tidal fluctuations. The along-shore groundwater flow, together with the cross-shore flow, forms horizontal circulation and increases mixing of solute in the aquifer. Over a tidal period, a large amount of water exchange occurs at the river-aquifer and ocean-aquifer interfaces, leading to increased transfer of chemicals between the three water bodies. These results have implications for the management of waste discharge in estuaries and coastal aquifers. 相似文献

A high resolution technique was applied to amniotic fluid cells by synchronization. After inoculation, the cells were incubated for 30 h in the presence of either thymidine or 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). After removal of the blocking agent and addition of a low concentration of thymidine, the cells were incubated for another 6 1/2–7 h, then harvested in prometaphase without colcemid. This technique gives a mitotic index of 3·7 per cent after thymidine synchronization and of 3·2 per cent after BrdU synchronization, and more than half of the mitoses were in the earlier phases with the chromosomes showing more than 550 bands per haploid set. GBG, GTG, and RHG prometaphases are presented. Precise high-resolution banding of chromosomes of amniotic fluid cells can increase diagnostic accuracy. 相似文献

Though runoff from manure spread fields is recognized as an important mode of nonpoint-source pollution, there are no models that mechanistically describe transport from a field-spread manure-type source. A mechanistic, physically based model for pollutant release from a surface source, such as field-spread manure, was hypothesized, laboratory tested, and field-applied. The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the potential applicability of a mechanistic model to pollutant release from surface sources. The laboratory investigation used stable sources and a conservative "pollutant" (KCl) so that the dynamic effects of source dissolution and chemical transformations could be ignored and transport processes isolated. The field investigation used runoff and soluble reactive phosphorus (SP) data collected from a dairy-manure-spread field in the Cannonsville watershed in the Catskills region of New York State. The model predictions corroborated well with observations of runoff and pollutant delivery in both the laboratory and the field. "Pollutant" release from surface sources was generally predicted within 11% of laboratory KCl measurements and field SP observations. Laboratory flume runoff predictions with 15 and 26% errors for 25 and 15 mm h(-1) simulated rainfall intensity experiments, respectively, represented root mean square errors of less than 0.2 mLs(-1). A 26% error was calculated for overland flow predictions in the field, which translated into approximately a 39 mLs(-1) error. Results suggest that the hypothesized model satisfactorily represents the primary mechanisms in pollutant release from surface sources. 相似文献

A comparative study of turbulence in a wind-tunnel model canopy is performed, using Large eddy simulation (LES) and experimental
data from PIV and hot-wire anemometry measurements. The model canopy is composed of thin cylindrical stalks. In the LES, these
are represented using a plant-scale approach, while the scale-dependent Lagrangian dynamic model is used as subgrid-scale
model. LES predictions of turbulence statistics and energy spectra are found to be in good agreement with the experimental
data. Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budgets from the LES simulation are analyzed to provide more information absent in the
measurements. Results confirm that sloshing motions at the low levels of the canopy are mainly driven by pressure fluctuations.
A difference between the energy flux obtained from the energy spectrum and the SGS dissipation rate is observed, consistent
with a spectral bypass mechanism in which the real spectral flux due to cascade is smaller than that implied by the energy-spectrum
level, due to direct drain by the canopy. 相似文献

Visualization by light transmission of oil and water contents in transient two-phase flow fields 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The difficulty of determining transient fluid contents in a soil–oil–water system is hampering an understanding of the system's flow characteristics. In this paper, we describe a light transmission method (LTM) which can rapidly obtain oil and water contents throughout a large two-dimensional flow field of silica sand. By appropriately coloring the water with 0.005% FD&C blue #1, the hue of the transmitted light is found to be directly related to the water content within the porous media. The hue provides a high resolution measurement of the water and oil contents in transient flow fields (such as unstable flow). Evaluation of the reliability of LTM was assessed by checking the mass balance for a known water injection and its utility in visualizing a whole flow field was exemplified for unstable fingered flow by comparing fluid contents to those obtained with synchrotron X-ray radiation. 相似文献
