  • Patent number: 12007318
    Abstract: A device and a method for in situ penetration measurement of gas transport parameters in an unsaturated soil layer. The device mainly consists of a gas supply system, a gas concentration display recorder, a gas pressure display recorder, a sleeve, a gas concentration sensor, a gas pressure sensor, a porous gas-permeable tube and a conical penetration head. The gas diffusion coefficient and permeability coefficient of the unsaturated soil can be obtained by only measuring the gas pressure value, the gas concentration value and the corresponding gas flow value of an unsaturated soil layer at a depth required to be tested, and substituting same into calculation formulae of the gas diffusion coefficient and permeability coefficient. The testing process of the method is simple and fast, and is low in cost, simple in operation and convenient in calculation.

  • Patent number: 11935191
    Abstract: A data processing method for an analogue modelling experiment of a hypergravity geological structure includes steps of: performing two-dimensional photographing and three-dimensional elevation scanning with an analogue modelling experiment device with a curved model surface for the hypergravity geological structure, so as to collect initial elevation data and initial velocity field data; and correcting the initial elevation data and the initial velocity field data to obtain corrected elevation data and corrected velocity field data. The data processing method can realize orthographic correction and three-dimensional projection transformation of initial elevation data, as well as orthographic correction and two-dimensional projection transformation of initial velocity field data, which can more realistically and objectively reflect the experimental phenomenon, which is conducive to truly expressing the experimental results and facilitates the analogy analysis with the actual geological prototype.
