Peculiar faulting of a coal-bed

A Workable Bed of Coal in Nebraska.

Determination of Coal Seams Depth of Erosion with Respect to the Remnants of a Key Bed in Kerman Coal Field, Iran

As a tool for exploration of concealed coal seams by modern techniques, determination of the depth of erosion of coal seams with reference to the surface of angular unconformity underlying the remnants of a key bed is conducted for the first time in coal mines of Kerman region. The angular unconformity surface (the initial surface exposure of coal seams) separates the coal seams of Jurassic age...

Tsunami generation by dynamic displacement of sea bed due to dip-slip faulting

In classical tsunami-generation techniques, one neglects the dynamic sea bed displacement resulting from fracturing of a seismic fault. The present study takes into account these dynamic effects. Earth’s crust is assumed to be a Kelvin-Voigt material. The seismic source is assumed to be a dislocation in a viscoelastic medium. The fluid motion is described by the classical nonlinear shallow wate...

Numerical Simulation Study on Coal Bed Methane Development

In order to find out the advantages and disadvantages of various development methods of coal bed gas, the experimental block provided by the field is studied, the component calculation model is established by CMG numerical simulation software on the basis of fine geologic modeling. Four development schemes are designed which are depleted development, development of hydraulic fracturing, develop...

Peculiar mean velocity profiles within a porous bed of an open channel

We present the velocity profile measured within a porous bed below rough turbulent open channel flow. Mean streamwise velocity has a minimum in the top pore, just below the bed surface, and then increases towards a constant value in the deeper pores. We argue that the velocity minimum in the top pore is due to enhanced turbulence generated within the external flow. This produces a flow regime s...
