滇西北高寒地区牧草混播组合的筛选

为提高香格里拉高寒地区饲草生产能力,在小中甸镇开展了牧草混播组合试验.试验设5个混播组合(A1、A2、A3、A4、A5),随机区组设计,连续两年对牧草产量和组分进行测定,第2年取混合样对营养含量进行分析.结果表明,A1和A5组合牧草产量显著高于A2、A3和A4 (P＜0.05);A3、A1、A5年度间群落组分变化不大,稳定性较强;A2、A4、A5的粗蛋白含量较高,均超过24％.3项指标综合考虑,A1[安巴鸭茅(Dactylis glomerata cv.Anmba)+草地休衣白三叶(Trifolium repens cv.Grasslands huia)+红三叶(T.pratense)]和A5[安巴鸭茅+雅晴多年生黑麦草(Lolium perenne cv.Yatsyn)+海法白三叶(T.repens cv.Haifa)+普纳菊苣(Cichorium intybus cv.Puna)]适宜在香格里拉高寒地区种植应用.     

基于改进端元提纯模型的MODIS森林类型识别研究

MODIS遥感数据具有很高的光谱辐射精度,以及成本低、覆盖面积广、获取容易、周期短等数据特征,可以实现全覆盖大尺度区域森林类型信息快速提取,但由于其空间分辨率较低,遥感数据中存在混合像元。利用混合像元分解模型进行分解可得到较好的分类结果,但混合像元分解的端元组分直接影响分类的精度。利用决策树分类模型改进端元提纯,分析各地物的MODIS时间序列植被指数变化规律及物候变化规律,利用决策树模型分类的结果进行端元组分的提纯,最后进行混合像元分解。研究结果表明:分类精度最高的是线性混合像元分解,其次是最大似然分类,最差的是非线性混合像元分解,其中带约束和不带约束的线性分解模型的精度相差不大。

Engineered-airlift pumps for aquaculture applications using multiphase flow analysis

Currently, very few aquaculture operations are employing airlift pump technology for water recirculation, aeration, and waste removal. This is likely due to the poor design and lower efficiency of traditional airlift design, the limited amount of research effort that has been invested in improving performance capabilities of air lift pumps and the general lack of awareness of the industry about the inherent advantages of airlift systems. A new efficient airlift pump is hydrodynamically designed by incorporating the Volume of Fluid (VOF) multi-phase model along with the K-ε turbulence model utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools. The pump is designed to offer a substantial reduction in total energy usage as well as an improved quality of the culture products in order to make it attractive to aquaculture industry. In this study, both numerical and experimental investigations were carried out for airlift systems operating under two different submergence ratios of 50% and 90% in a lab setting using 2.54 cm diameter pumps. Also, the performance of a large-scale pumps of 10.16 cm diameters were also tested in an aquaculture raceway to determine its effect on the operation. The numerical results were found to be in agreement with the experiments within ±20% which is considered very reasonable for multiphase flow analysis. The present study was found to present a great tool for modelling the airlift pump performance, and potentially proposing new designs.     

Impact of fish feed on airlift pumps in aquaculture systems

Airlift pumps are commonly used in aquaculture systems to circulate water and maintain critical gas levels. In production marine reuse systems, a significant decrease in airlift pump flowrate was visually observed immediately after feeding. In experimental systems without fish, it was found that feed additions of less than 10 mg/L decreased water flow by as much as 78% for diffuser injectors but only 10% for pumps with direct air injection. For both injector types, feed impact diminished over several hours but persisted longer in seawater than in freshwater. Video footage revealed increasing bubble coalescence with the addition of feed. The decrease in pump flow is likely attributed to water property changes due to compounds leaching out of the feed. This decrease in pumping rate has the potential to negatively impact water quality, system performance, and fish health.     

Observation of three‐dimensional flow structures and effluent transport around fish cages using a towed ADCP and free‐fall multi‐parameter profiler

A field campaign was conducted around salmon cages, using a combination of a towed ADCP and a free‐fall multi‐parameter profiler, in order to investigate flow structures and the possible distribution of effluent materials. Two transect observations showed that hydrographic conditions changed dramatically within 5 days, from highly stratified open water conditions to weak stratification. Three‐dimensional observation revealed that flow was blocked behind the cages and that the blockage was reduced as the distance from the cages increased. The flow speed was positively correlated with the intensity of the backscattering signal. The R² value was high immediately behind the cages and decreased with distance from the cages. The flow time series behind the cages exhibited a k^–2 power law spectrum that was consistent with a typical internal wave spectrum. This suggests that eddies shed from the cages were highly influenced by stratification. We estimated the rate of kinetic energy dissipation, , from YODA Profiler data based on the Thorpe scale approach. We also estimated the eddy diffusivity coefficient, . Both and followed a lognormal probability density function. The mean was consistent with a one‐dimensional diffusion model assessed from the R² values of flow speed and backscatter intensity.
