新疆额尔齐斯河边滩砾石定向性特征及其意义
Orientation of Irtysh River point bar gravels and its significance in Xinjiang
摘要
Abstract
In this paper,the rosette diagram and Curray's research method were used to study the orientation of gravels at 20 observation points in the Irtysh River point bar.It was found that the long axis of gravels in the study area had a directional arrangement,and the optimal direction was parallel to the flow direction of Irtysh River.However,the oriention of gravels was also influenced by other factors.Grain support mode affected gravels orientation in some degree,e.g.,the multi-size particles supported gravels showed the best oriention,followed by particles support.The strength of water also had an influence on gravels orientation.The long axis of the gravels was perpendicular to the flow direction under the weak hydrodynamic force.When the hydrodynamic force became strong,the long axis of the gravels would be parallel to the flow direction.The orientation characteristics of the gravels are also related to their grain size.If the hydrodynamic force was weak,the long axis of smaller gravels (grain size less than 2 cm) was perpendicular to the flow direction and the larger gravels (with grain size greater than 2 cm) were parallel to the flow direction.However,when the hydrodynamic force became strong,the influence of the gravels size on orientation characteristics could be negligible.Therefore,when using long axis of gravel to determine the palaeo direction of flow,it is better to take into consideration other factors first,such as palaeoclimate and hydrodynamic force in the study area,and then a more accurate recovery of the relationship between river flow and the long axis of gravels can be obtained.Finally,you can determine the palaeo-flow direction of the study area comprehensively.关键词
