A numerical analysis method for fluid-structure interaction of unsaturated slope under free-draining condition

PendingCN122334121APreferential flowClassical mechanics
This invention discloses a numerical analysis method for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of unsaturated slopes under free drainage conditions, belonging to the field of numerical analysis technology for slope engineering. The method includes: constructing an unsaturated multi-source parameter model of the slope region; building a dynamic boundary model with hysteresis response and gradual release characteristics based on boundary element water content, water potential gradient, and rainfall input information; jointly updating the internal water content gradient, local structural changes, and permeability coefficient field of the slope; correcting the seepage direction through a path enhancement factor; and identifying local preferential flow channels and seepage concentration areas. Iterative solutions are then obtained through adaptive time step adjustment, residual convergence control, and anomaly element correction strategies. This method improves the physical consistency of the free drainage boundary description, enhances the ability to identify preferential flow channels and local seepage concentration areas, and improves the computational stability and engineering applicability of FSI analysis of unsaturated slopes.

Three-dimensional quantification method of lateral preferential flow in dry-hot valley based on GPR detection and SSIM analysis

PendingCN122289582AAridHydrometry
This invention discloses a three-dimensional quantification method for subsurface lateral preferential flow in arid and hot valleys based on GPR (Geophysical Permeability Reduction) detection and SSIM (Spatial Infiltration Model) analysis. It integrates time-delayed GPR scanning with artificial infiltration experiments and applies SSIM analysis to depict LPF (Limited Placement Flow) path activation, network structure evolution, and humid zone distribution in a three-dimensional manner. This method achieves, for the first time, three-dimensional non-destructive quantification of the dynamics of the LPF network on arid and hot valley slopes. The established hydrogeophysical data acquisition and post-processing workflow provides a crucial and transferable research method for quantitatively analyzing the interaction between structural connectivity and process connectivity in slope runoff generation and confluence. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional two-dimensional slope LPF analysis by quantitatively characterizing the spatiotemporal dynamics of subsurface three-dimensional connectivity. It provides direct support for improving the water cycle mechanism in arid and hot valleys and improving hydrological models based on physical mechanisms, and provides a scientific basis for sustainable management decisions in water conservation areas of arid and hot valleys under climate change conditions.

High-precision magnetic imaging method, device and equipment for underground preferential flow channel and medium

This application relates to a high-precision magnetic imaging method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for underground dominant flow channels. The method includes: responding to the need for high-precision magnetic imaging of underground dominant flow channels, preparing a magnetotactic bacterial tracer fluid and constructing a target medium model; based on an underground flow field magnetic detection platform, controlling the injection of the magnetotactic bacterial tracer fluid into the target medium model and collecting magnetic field data throughout the seepage process; processing the magnetic field data using a geophysical inversion algorithm to obtain a magnetic parameter matrix; based on the relationship between penetrating magnetic signal characteristics, metal shielding coefficient, fluid shear rate, and macroscopic flow velocity, inverting the magnetic parameter matrix into a flow velocity vector field matrix; and obtaining the imaging results of the underground dominant flow channel based on the target medium model and the flow velocity vector field matrix. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as the inability to penetrate metal shielding structures, susceptibility to solid particle blockage, restricted transport, environmental background noise interference, and the inability to eliminate static background effects.
