CHENG Peng, LI Jianghai, LIU Zhiqiang
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2021, 57 (3): 470-480.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2021.025

Based on the seismic profile, analogue modeling and discrete element modeling method were carried out to study the deep genetic mechanism of the gravity instability structure and evolution process of the salt diapirs in the contractional zone of central Lower Congo Basin in the passive continental margin of Angola in West Africa. The effect of salt diapir activity on the migration of the sedimentary center of the mini-basin between the diapirs was further studied. The results show that the evolution process of salt diapirs in the contractional domain of central Lower Congo Basin is related to the stress conditions. In the early stage, it was mainly controlled by the effect of gravity spreading, and in the later stage, it was controlled by the effect of squeezing. According to the comparison between the results of analogue modeling and discrete element modeling and the seismic sections, the evolution process of salt diapir can be divided into the following three stages: 1) The early stage, the extended reactive diapir stage; 2) The mid stage, the passive diapir stage; 3) The late stage, squeezed active diapir stage. The sedimentary center of the mini-basin between the salt diapirs migrated to the diapirs with strong activities during the same period.

Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2021, 57 (1): 132-142.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2020.097

This study takes the Shenzhen Bay Basin as the research object, based on the combined model of rainfall runoff pollution, overflow from sewer interception system and hydrodynamic water quality in the bay, the temporal and spatial variation of overflow pollution and its effect on water quality in the bay were analyzed. The results show that in the whole year, the main pollution sources of the basin are the pollution of the wastewater treatment plant and the overflow pollution. The overflow pollution accounts for about 30% of the total pollution load, rises to about 50% in the rainy season, and becames the main pollution source in the rainy season in Shenzhen Bay Basin. The overflow pollution load in rainy season accounts for more than 85% of the total overflow pollution load in the whole year. The pollution load of overflow increases with the rainfall. When the rainfall intensity is similar, the longer the dry time before rain, the greater the overflow pollution load. In terms of water quality in the bay, the water quality in the Inner Bay is worse than that in the Outer Bay and the fluctuation is more obvious, In rainy season, the water quality in Inner Bay and Middle Bay is worse and fluctuates more than that in dry season. In the event of rain, the water quality fluctuation in the inner bay was most seriously affected by the impact of overflow pollution, while the middle and outer bays was mainly affected by the tidal action. When the return period of rainfall is 0.25 to 0.5 years, the water quality in Shenzhen Bay exceeds the standard most obviously, and the duration of water quality affected by overflow pollution is 12 to 20 days.

Salt Structure Formation Modeling Controlled by Structure Inclination Angle: Take the Lower Congo Basin as an Example
WANG Dianju, LI Jianghai, CHENG Peng, LIU Zhiqiang, YU Fahao
Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Pekinensis    2019, 55 (2): 277-288.   DOI: 10.13209/j.0479-8023.2018.095

Based on the data of three seismic work areas in the Lower Congo Basin, nine typical salt-related tectonic patterns are summarized in the basin and the distribution pattern of salt structures is confirmed. Established with the base tilt angle as a single variable based on the discrete element numerical simulation method, and evolution results of the structure and motion vectors are obtained. With the increase of the basement inclination angle, the flow velocity of salt rock and its overlying sediments gradually increases, and the subsequent terrigenous sediment transport distance is also longer. The basement inclination mainly has three kinds of control effects on the salt rock flow: differential compaction as the master control, differential compaction and gravity gliding combined, gravity gliding as master control. These three control effects are all affected by the basement inclination angle and appear in turn with the change of the angle. Based on the analysis results above, control pattern of basement inclination on salt rock flow in the passive margin basin of the South Atlantic is established.

The task modes of underwater gravity assistant navigation and design of system simulation algorithm are studied with gravity difference entropy of physical geography character. The basic principle of the algorithmis that the information entropy could be used in gravity assistant navigation for autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) in navigation matching algorithm. The error of inertial navigation systemin AUV is corrected by means of the information difference between template gravity map and actual gravity map and the difference of gravity gradient maps, therefore the high precision navigation can be implemented in the condition of long time and covered operation. The character and development general situation of gravity assistant navigation are also inducted. On basis of gravity base research, the design idea and experiment method of passive navigation matching algorithm based on underwater gravity difference entropy are expatiated in the end.
