Oil Spill Response

Russian Arctic shelf - rich larder of the hydrocarbons, at the same time Northern Sea Route (NSR) - a strategically important route for transporting them. The extraction and the transportation of the hydrocarbons along the NSR requires the solution of a number of ecological and economic problems in the first place to ensure environmental and technogenic safety. For the solving of these problems on the continental shelf it is required a system of comprehensive measures: - the development of the regulatory framework for environmental support oil and gas projects; - the introduction and use of integrated methods for monitoring environmental conditions at the sites of technogenic loads on the shelf of the Arctic seas, including the use of drones; - creating different models for assessing the marginal stability of ecosystems to technogenic loads during production and transportation of hydrocarbons on the continental shelf based on systems of dynamic simulations; - the development and use of sensitivity maps of coastal areas of the Arctic seas during oil spill response; - accounting of the results of the analysis of the total environmental benefit in the development of oil spill response plans; - application of the principle of "zero" resetting, due to the high fishery valuation in Barents and Kara seas and the conservation of marine biological resources.

Unusual Type

This paper presents a linear stability analysis of a rapidly sheared layer of granular material confined between two parallel solid plates. The form of the steady base-state solution depends on the nature of the interaction between the material and the bounding plates and three cases are considered, in which the boundaries act as sources or sinks of pseudo-thermal energy, or merely confine the material while leaving the velocity profile linear, as in unbounded shear. The stability analysis is conventional, though complicated, and the results are similar in all cases. For given physical properties of the particles and the bounding plates it is found that the condition of marginal stability depends only on the separation between the plates and the mean bulk density of the particulate material contained between them. The system is stable when the thickness of the layer is sufficiently small, but if the thickness is increased it becomes unstable, and initially the fastest growing mode is analogous to modes of the corresponding unbounded problem. However, with a further increase in thickness a new mode becomes dominant and this is of an unusual type, with no analogue in the case of unbounded shear. The growth rate of this mode passes through a maximum at a certain value of the thickness of the sheared layer, at which point it grows much faster than any mode that could be shared with the unbounded problem. The growth rate of the dominant mode also depends on the bulk density of the material, and is greatest when this is neither very large nor very small.

Highly Correlated

The acceleration of solar cosmic rays in association with certain solar flares is known to be highly correlated with the propagation of an MHD shock through the solar corona (Svestka, 1976). The spatial structure of the sources of solar cosmic rays will be determined by those regions of the corona which are accessible to the flare-induced shock. The regions to which the flare shock is permitted to propagate are determined by the large scale magnetic field structure in the corona. McIntosh (1972, 1979) has demonstrated that quiescent filaments form a single continuous feature (a “baseball stitch”) around the surface of the sun. It is known that helmet streamers overlie quiescent filaments (Pneuman, 1975), and these helmet streamers contain large magnetic neutral sheets which are oriented essentially radially. Hence the magnetic field structure in the low solar corona is characterized by a large-scale radial neutral sheet which weaves around the entire sun following the “baseball stitch”. There is therefore a high probability that as a shock propagates away from a flare, it will eventually encounter this large neutral sheet.

The Stability

The stability and onset of two-dimensional convection in a rotating fluid saturated porous layer subject to gravity and centrifugal body forces is investigated analytically. The problem corresponding to a layer placed far away from the centre of rotation was identified as a distinct case and therefore justifying special attention. The stability of a basic gravity driven convection is analysed. The marginal stability criterion is established in terms of a critical centrifugal Rayleigh number and a critical wave number for different values of the gravity related Rayleigh number. For any given value of the gravity related Rayleigh number there is a transitional value of the wave number, beyond which the basic gravity driven flow is stable. The results provide the stability map for a wide range of values of the gravity related Rayleigh number, as well as the corresponding flow and temperature fields.
