Flood Forecasting Simulation in Karst Areas——A Case Study of Jinbao River Basin in Yangshuo by YUAN Meng, HU Haiying, TIAN Tian, ZHU Dantong, CHENG Xiangju

“…The runoff depth errors of the simulated floods in Jinbao River are all less than 20%, the peak time errors are all less than 1 h, and the overall qualification rate is 88.89%, with an average Nash efficiency coefficient of 0.85, which achieves the accuracy of Class B forecasting, and the flood prediction of the Yulong River is also up to the Class B accuracy, which indicates that the constructed model has good applicability to the simulation of runoff in the Jinbao River and other small watersheds in the karst mountainous areas. The model calculates the warning time and flow rate of vulnerable points under different rainfall recurrence periods, which can provide a basis for flood prevention and early warning in this area.…”

2-D numerical experiments of thermal convection of highly viscous fluids under strong adiabatic compression: implications on mantle convection of super-Earths with various sizes by Masanori Kameyama

“…We varied the magnitude of adiabatic heating and the Rayleigh number as well as the depth profile of thermodynamic properties (thermal expansivity and reference density) in accordance with the planetary sizes. From our calculations by varying the planetary sizes up to 10 times the Earth’s mass, we confirmed that the adiabatic compression affects the thermal convection more strongly for larger planets. …”
