GRACE gravity field modeling with an investigation on correlation between nuisance parameters and gravity field coefficients

The GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) monthly gravity models have been independently produced and published by several research institutions, such as Center for Space Research (CSR), GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and Delft Institute of Earth Observation and Space Systems (DEOS). According to their processing standards, above institutions use the traditional variational approach except that the DEOS exploits the acceleration approach. The background force models employed are rather similar. The produced gravity field models generally agree with one another in the spatial pattern. However, there are some discrepancies in the gravity signal amplitude between solutions produced by different institutions. In particular, 10%–30% signal amplitude differences in some river basins can be observed. In this paper, we implemented a variant of the traditional variational approach and computed two sets of monthly gravity field solutions using the data from January 2005 to December 2006. The input data are K-band range-rates (KBRR) and kinematic orbits of GRACE satellites. The main difference in the production of our two types of models is how to deal with nuisance parameters. This type of parameters is necessary to absorb low-frequency errors in the data, which are mainly the aliasing and instrument errors. One way is to remove the nuisance parameters before estimating the geopotential coefficients, called NPARB approach in the paper. The other way is to estimate the nuisance parameters and geopotential coefficients simultaneously, called NPESS approach. These two types of solutions mainly differ in geopotential coefficients from degree 2 to 5. This can be explained by the fact that the nuisance parameters and the gravity field coefficients are highly correlated, particularly at low degrees. We compare these solutions with the official and published ones by means of spectral analysis. It is found that our solutions are, in general, consistent with others in the spatial pattern. The water storage variations of the Amazon, Chari and Ganges river basins have also been computed. The variations computed with the NPARB approach are closer to those produced by JPL and DEOS solutions, while the variations produced with the NPESS approach are in good agreement with those produced by the CSR and GFZ solutions. A simulation study is implemented with considering realistic noise and low-frequency error. The two approaches are used to recover the true model. The NPESS solution appears closer to the true one. Therefore we are inclined to estimate the nuisance parameters simultaneously with the geopential coefficients.

平板湍流摩阻系数的显式表达式

 湍流摩阻系数的计算是工程技术中经常遇到的问题。计算时所依据的公式多为半经验半理论的结果,如Karman公式,Van Driest公式和Prandtl公式等。这些公式是以隐函数给出的,给计算带来不便。但是不难发现,这类公式经过适当的变换,可以化为统一形式的超越代数方程,这种方程没有有限形式的解析解,本文给出了一种近似解析解。根据这种方法除了导出上述公式的显式表达式外,还对White公式作了修正。当然解超越代数方程最根本的方法是迭代法,本文对此也作了简单讨论。     

K_(Imax)<K_(Iscc)时30CrMnSiNi2A钢的腐蚀疲劳与失效机理

 应用电化学-断裂力学方法研究了30CrMnSiNi2A钢在室温模拟潮湿大气（H₂O）及海洋大气（3.5％NaCl）环境中低K范围内不同电位下的疲劳裂纹扩展特性。通过动力学及断口分析,提出在K_ImaxIscc范围内高强度钢可发生循环应力腐蚀开裂,其湿腐蚀疲劳失效机理应是裂尖局部阳极溶解与氢脆共同作用,且两者对△K_th及da/dN的意义不同,从而对以往高强度钢湿腐蚀疲劳的纯氢脆模型作出修正。
