Turning water into rock: The inverted waves effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Humans perceive shape in two-dimensional shaded images, and turning such an image upside down can result in inversion of the relief of this image. Previous research indicates that this inversion is caused by assumptions related to overhead illumination, global convexity and viewpoint above the surface. In our article, we describe the inverted waves effect, in which turning an image of waves upside down changes its relief and also its perceived material properties.

Jointed Rock Mass Effects on the Seismic Waves Scattering from the Canyon Sites in the Dam's Support
Seismic study of canyon sites has always been one of the important fields of seismic studies because of massive structures such as dams that are built in such sites. Jointed rock mass in rock canyon sites is one of the main site effects that can change the seismic waves. In this research, we studied the influence of this factor on the scattering of seismic waves. To fulfil this goal, we employe...
متن کاملEffect of temperature as well as heating and cooling cycles on rock properties
Temperature has a significant role in many actions performed on rocks. An example would be the effect of temperature on rocks in the burial of nuclear waste, geothermal energy extraction, deep oil well drilling, and fires in tunnels. In addition, due to diurnal/nocturnal as well as seasonal temperature variations, rocks undergo a process of heating and cooling. In the present work, the effect o...
متن کاملExperimental Studies of Electrical Fields on a Breaking Rock Sample
When a rock sample is pressed by a force, the pressure on the crystal lattice generates an electrical field around the quart grains due to the piezoelectric effect. If a rock is saturated by conductive fluid, the relative motion between the pore fluid and the matrix solid generates an electromagnetic field due to seismoelectric conversion, and the permeating of fluid into new microcracks made b...
متن کاملAmplitude Variation with Offset Inversion Analysis in One of the Western Oilfields of the Persian Gulf
Reservoir characterization has a leading role in the reservoir geophysics and reservoir management. Since the interests of the reservoir geophysics and reservoir managements are the elastic properties and reservoir properties of the subsurface rock for their purposes, a robust method is required for converting seismic data into elastic properties. Accordingly, by employing a rock physics model ...
متن کاملSeismic Imaging of the Velocity Structure and the Location of a Hydrofrac in a Geothermal Reservoir
The Los Alamos Hot Dry Rock Reservoir is an experimental geothermal project in north-central New Mexico. A fractured zone was created within otherwise impermeable igneous and metamorphic rock by injecting water into a borehole under high pressure, at about 3.5 km depth. During the injection process, the seismic waves created by the fracturing events were recorded by seismometers located in four...
