Previous issue date: 2010-11-16 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / One of the main changes observed in cities today are the changes of the urban climate in relation to its surrounding areas. Differences in thermal field of a city may interfere in the residential energy consumption, being its study relevant, once the energy is precondition so that essential facilities and benefits of modern life can be enjoyed. From this, this work has as objective establishment of relationships between the thermal field and residential energy consumption in the city of São Carlos-SP, for different scales of approach and based on some parameters of urban morphology. In the methodology three variables were worked: the urban morphology, the climate and energy consumption. In the specific case of variable the climate, this was studied in two scales: the scale micro-scale and mesoscale. Methodological work steps were: inventory, bibliographic review, selection of control points, climate study on micro-scale (composed by substeps: climatic data processing, calculation of sky view factor, calculation of occupancy rate and index of exploitation and calculation of the vegetation index), study of climate on meso-scale (composed by substeps: estimation of radiometric temperature, calculation of the vegetation index and multicriterium analysis), study of energy consumption and finally data analysis. The results confirmed that the morphological influence on thermal field in micro-scale and meso-scale. In the microscale the exploiting index, sky view factor and average height indicated behaviors as described in the bibliography for the average, maximum and minimum temperature data, while the occupancy rate has the behavior described in the bibliography for amplitude. In meso-scale vegetation was evaluated as a factor of biggest influence on the climate. The residential energy consumption presented coherent distribution with changes in thermal field; however, this changes shall also be related to social classes of regions, since these have varying patterns of use. Regarding geoprocessing techniques used in the methodology, it was observed that the algorithms, kriging and multicriterium analysis were useful in the research, however the vegetation index, despite being simple execution, did not provided for micro-scale the desirable results. / Uma das principais modificações observadas nas cidades na atualidade são as alterações das condições climáticas em relação às áreas circunvizinhas, resultando em um clima diferenciado nas áreas urbanas. As diferenças no campo térmico de um município interferem no consumo de energia elétrica residencial, sendo seu estudo relevante, uma vez que, a energia elétrica é condição indispensável para que as comodidades e benefícios essenciais da vida moderna possam ser desfrutados. A partir disto, este trabalho teve como objetivo estabelecer relações entre o campo térmico e consumo de energia elétrica residencial na cidade de São Carlos-SP, para diferentes escalas de abordagem e em função de alguns parâmetros da morfologia urbana. Na metodologia foram trabalhadas três variáveis de estudo: a morfologia urbana, o clima e o consumo energético. No caso específico da variável clima, esta foi estudada em duas escalas: a micro-escala e a mesoescala. As etapas metodológicas do trabalho foram: inventário, revisão bibliográfica, seleção de pontos de controle, estudo do clima na micro-escala (composta pelas sub-etapas: processamento de dados climáticos, cálculo de fator de visão do céu, cálculo de taxa de ocupação e índice de aproveitamento e cálculo de índice de vegetação), estudo do clima na meso-escala (composta pelas sub-etapas: estimativa da temperatura radiométrica, cálculo do índice de vegetação e análise multicritério), estudo do consumo energético e por fim análise dos dados. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram que os parâmetros morfológicos influenciam no campo térmico em micro-escala e meso-escala. Na micro-escala o índice de aproveitamento, fator de visão do céu e altura média indicaram comportamentos como descrito na bibliografia em relação a médias, máximas e mínimas, enquanto a taxa de ocupação apresentou o comportamento indicado na bibliografia perante a amplitude. Na meso-escala a vegetação apresentou-se como fator de maior influência no clima. O consumo de energia elétrica residencial apresentou uma distribuição coerente com as variações do campo térmico, entretanto, esta variação deve ser relacionada também às classes sociais das regiões, já que estas possuem padrões de consumo variados. Quanto às técnicas de geoprocessamento utilizadas na metodologia, foi observado que os algoritmos de krigagem e análise multicritério foram úteis na investigação, já o índice de vegetação, apesar de ser de simples execução, não apresentou para micro-escala os resultados desejados.

Modelo de Ginzburg-Landau a partir da teoria de campos a temperatura finita / Ginzburg-Landau model as a field theory at finite temperatureThiago Cheble Alves Calza 10 February 2015 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Neste trabalho, utilizamos o formalismo de teorias quânticas de campos a temperatura finita, tal como desenvolvidas por Matsubara, aplicado a uma hamiltoniana de N campos escalares com autointeração quártica a N grande. Obtém-se uma expressão, na primeira aproximação quântica, para o coeficiente do termo quadrático da hamiltoniana ("massa quadrada"), renormalizado, como função da temperatura. A partir dela, estudamos o processo de quebra espontânea de simetria. Por outro lado, a mesma hamiltoniana é conhecida como modelo de Ginzburg-Landau na literatura de matéria condensada, e
que permite o estudo de transições de fase em materiais ferromagnéticos. A temperatura é introduzida através do termo quadrático na hamiltoniana, de forma linear: é proporcional
à diferença entre a variável de temperatura e a temperatura crítica. Tal modelo, porém, possui validade apenas na regi~ao de temperaturas próximas à criticalidade. Como resultado de nossos cálculos na teoria de campos a temperatura finita, observamos que, numa faixa de valores em torno da temperatura crítica, a massa quadrática pode ser aproximada por uma relação linear em relação à variável de temperatura. Isso evidencia a compatibilidade da abordagem de Ginzburg-Landau, na vizinhança da criticalidade, com respeito ao formalismo de campos a temperatura finita. Discutimos também os efeitos
causados pela presença de um potencial químico no sistema. / In this work, we use the formalism of quantum field theories at finite temperature, as developed by Matsubara, applied to a Hamiltonian of N scalar fields with quartic self-interaction at N large. We get an expression in the first quantum approximation to
the coeficient of the quadratic term of the Hamiltonian ("square mass"), renormalized as a function of temperature. From it, we study the process of spontaneous symmetry breaking. On the other hand, the same Hamiltonian is known as Ginzburg-Landau model in the literature of condensed matter, and allows the study of phase transitions in ferromagnetic materials. The temperature is introduced through the quadratic term in the Hamiltonian of the linear form: is proportional to the difference between the temperature and the critical temperature. This model, however, is valid only in the region of temperatures close to criticality. As a result of our calculations in the field theory at finite temperature, we observed that in a range of values around the critical temperature, the quadratic mass can be approximated by a linear relation with the temperature. This highlights the compatibility of the Ginzburg-Landau approach, in the vicinity of criticality with respect to the formalism of finite temperature field. We also discuss the effects caused by the presence of a chemical potential in the system.

Thermomechanical simulation of continuous casting process using element based finite-volume method / SimulaÃÃo termomecÃnica do processo de lingotamento contÃnuo utilizando o mÃtodo de volumes finitos baseado em elementosPaulo Vicente de Cassia Lima Pimenta 24 November 2014 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / The continuous casting technique in the last four decades has been large used for to production of semi-finished steel. The heat transfer is major mechanism and it occurs in various steps during the continuous casting. The quality of steel is directly related to the way the heat transfer occur because the thermal variations produce mechanical loads as well as contact forces which are generated through the rollers and shake of the mold. Such factors may cause defects such as fractures or cracks in the final product if the resulting stresses and strains exceed critical values. The technique must be improved in order to reduce the appearance of defects and the production time. For this a good understanding of physical phenomena involved during the solidification process is critical. The focus of this work is to apply the EbFVM (Element based Finite-Volume Method) approach to study the effects of linear tensions unidirectionally coupled with the temperature applied to continuous casting of the steel 1013D (0,3% of carbon)
In the simulations we adopted some simplifications such as the Plane Strain and isotropic material. We also neglected the body forces contact with the rollers the liquid pressure on the walls of the steel ingot (ferrostatic pressure) and the convective effect. However despite of the simplifications adopted this work provides quantitative informations on the linear tensions accumulation that point out to areas of possible of cracks formations / A tÃcnica de lingotamento contÃnuo nas Ãltimas quatro dÃcadas à cada vez mais utilizada na produÃÃo de aÃo semiacabado. A transferÃncia de calor à o principal mecanismo dominante e ocorre em todas as etapas do processo. A qualidade do aÃo no lingotamento està diretamente relacionada à forma que ocorrem as trocas de calor pois as variaÃÃes tÃrmicas produzem carregamentos mecÃnicos assim como as forÃas de contato as quais sÃo geradas por intermÃdio dos rolos e da oscilaÃÃo do molde. Tais fatores podem causar defeitos como fraturas ou trincas no produto final caso as tensÃes e deformaÃÃes resultantes excedam valores crÃticos. O aprimoramento da tÃcnica tem a finalidade de evitar o surgimento de defeitos e reduzir o tempo de produÃÃo. Para isso à fundamental uma boa compreensÃo dos fenÃmenos fÃsicos envolvidos ao longo do processo de solidificaÃÃo. O foco deste trabalho à aplicar a abordagem do EbFVM (Element based Finite-Volume Method) no estudo dos efeitos das tensÃes lineares acopladas unidirecionalmente com a temperatura aplicado ao lingotamento contÃnuo do aÃo 1013D (0,3% de carbono)
Nas simulaÃÃes adotou-se algumas simplificaÃÃes com o estado plano de tensÃes e isotropia do material. Descartando-se as forÃas de corpo o contato com os rolos a pressÃo do aÃo lÃquido nas paredes do lingote (pressÃo ferrostÃtica) e o efeito convectivo. Contudo apesar das simplificaÃÃes adotadas este trabalho traz informaÃÃes quantitativas quanto a formaÃÃo do acÃmulo das tensÃes lineares que apontam para regiÃes de possÃveis formaÃÃes de trincas

Hodnocení přestupu tepla na skrápěném trubkovém svazku / Heat Transfer Evaluation on Falling Film Tube BundleKracík, Petr January 2016 (has links)
Sprinkled tube bundles with a thin liquid film flowing over them are used in various technology processes where it is necessary to separate the vapour and liquid phases quickly and efficiently. The process occurs predominantly at low temperatures with a corresponding decrease of pressure around the tube bundle. Such a technology is represented for instance by an evaporator at absorption units or an evaporator for sea water desalination. In ideal conditions water boils at the whole surface of an exchanger, but in practice it must be considered that in original spots of contact between water and the exchanger wall the water will not boil at the tubes' surface but the cooling liquid will merely be heated-up. The presented dissertation thesis focuses on this issue. The objective of the thesis was to determine the heat transfer coefficient at the surface of sprinkled tube bundles of various geometries at atmospheric pressure as well as low pressure. For this purpose experiments have been carried out at tube bundles consisting of copper tubes of 12,0 mm diameter placed horizontally one above another that were heated by water. Three types of tubes (smooth, sandblasted and grooved) of four various pitches (15,0 to 30,0 mm by 5,0 mm increments) have been tested. Simultaneously individual bundles' geometries consisted of 4, 6, 8 and 10 tubes with identical surface finish. Based on the conducted experiments the mathematical model of heat transfer that involves mainly analogy criteria has been made more accurate. A temperature field at the sprinkled tube bundle surface has been scanned by a thermographic camera during the performed experiments. Influence of geometry and tube surface finish on flow mode and consequently also on heat transfer has been assessed in accordance with the compiled methodology.

Topology and Thermophoresis Characterization of Complex Polymers by Thermal Field-Flow FractionationGeisler, Martin 04 May 2021 (has links)
This dissertation deals with the potential of thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) for the multidetection-based analysis of polymers with complex topology to prove its capability in resolving polymer branching characteristics from measured thermophoretic properties. For that, not yet existent but necessary profound advances in the theory of ThFFF and as well, thermophoresis of branched polymers were generated to allow a full exploitation of the method in the elucidation of polymer topology. Exemplary, two different libraries of branched polymer model systems based on aliphatic-aromatic polyesters and on a new type of short chain branched polyethylene were investigated. On top, the potential of the optimized ThFFF theory was assessed in the context of crosslinked polymer architectures and shines light onto the so far controversially debated topic of electron beam irradiation effects on thermoplastic polyurethane.

Previous issue date: 2011-12-19 / As alterações ocorridas no sistema climático urbano das grandes cidades são processos relacionados ao adensamento urbano e às diferentes formas de uso e cobertura do solo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o campo térmico urbano e a sua relação com as diversas formas de uso e cobertura do solo em cidade tropical úmida, especificamente a cidade de João Pessoa, PB. As medições da temperatura do ar e umidade relativa foram realizadas em dois períodos distintos de três meses (seco e chuvoso), utilizando-se termo-higrômetro da marca Hobos em nove pontos representativos da malha urbana de cidade. O nível de estresse térmico foi avaliado com base no índice de desconforto de Thom (IDT) para regiões tropicais, ajustado através de questionários de avaliação da sensação térmica das pessoas nos pontos monitorados. O teste de Mann-Kendall foi utilizado para avaliar a tendência temporal das séries climatológicas de temperatura, umidade relativa do ar e do IDT no período de 1963 a 2011. Os tipos de cobertura de solo de cada ponto monitorado foram classificados dentro de nove classes de acordo com a percentagem de vegetação e de materiais permeáveis e impermeáveis utilizando métodos quantitativos e qualitativos. Os resultados do trabalho indicam que a faixa de classificação do índice de desconforto de Thom não é apropriada para regiões tropicais úmidas. A ilha de calor urbano é um fenômeno que ocorre preferencialmente durante o período noturno enquanto a intensidade máxima dos gradientes de temperatura e umidade relativa do ar são fenômenos essencialmente diurnos. Os cenários dos níveis de conforto térmico indicam condições de forte desconforto ambiental para os anos de 2050 e 2060 durante o período seco e desconfortável para o período chuvoso no ano de 2060 em toda área de estudo. / The changes in the urban climate system in great cities are processes related to urban density and the different forms of use and land cover. The objective of this study was to analyze the thermal urban field and its relation to the various forms of use and land cover in a humid tropical city, specifically Joao Pessoa city, PB, Brazil. Measurements in air temperature and relative humidity were carried out in two distinct periods of three months (dry and wet seasons), using thermo-hygrometer Hobos located in nine representative areas of the city. The level of heat stress was evaluated based on Thom's discomfort index (IDT, in Portuguese), adjusted for tropical regions based on questionnaires for assessing the thermal sensation that people have in function to the parameters that determine the environment in which they live. Mann-Kendall test was used to assess the temporal trends of time series in temperature, relative humidity and IDT for the period from 1963 to 2011. The types of ground cover of each monitored point were classified into nine classes according to the percentage of vegetation coverage and permeable and impermeable materials by utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methods. The results of the study indicated that the classification range of the Thom’s discomfort index is not suitable for humid tropical regions. The urban heat island is a phenomenon that occurs preferentially during the night while the maximum intensity of the temperature and relative humidity gradients are essentially diurnal phenomena. The scenarios of the thermal comfort levels indicated a strong discomfort for the 2050 and 2060 years during the dry season and uncomfortable condition during the rainy season in the 2060 year throughout the study area.

Optimalizace teplotního pole s fázovou přeměnou / Optimization of Thermal Field with Phase ChangePustějovský, Michal January 2015 (has links)
This thesis deals with modelling of continuous casting of steel. This process of steel manufacturing has achieved dominant position not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide. The solved casted bar cross-section shape is circular, because it is rarely studied in academical works nowadays. First part of thesis focuses on creating numerical model of thermal field, using finite difference method with cylindrical coordinates. This model is then employed in optimization part, which represents control problem of abrupt step change of casting speed. The main goal is to find out, whether the computation of numerical model and optimization both can be parallelized using spatial decomposition. To achieve that, Progressive Hedging Algorithm from the field of stochastic optimization has been used.

Zařízení pro měření tepelného odporu rukavic / Apparatus for measuring the thermal resistance of the glovesPelikán, Jakub January 2016 (has links)
This thesis deals with common problem health protection at work. Namely hand protection during the work in very cold environment. It’s an analysis of materials suitable for apparatus used for measuring the thermal resistance of the gloves. There was analysed a range of materials. Every single sample was tested for heat conductivity and afterwards was assessed the suitability of materials. Heat was generated by electricity. Ocured heat fields was assessed with thermocamera. After performed experiments of carbon fiber we haven’t reached any satisfying results which we could use for manufacturing of this device. On the other hand kapton film has given very interesting results which we would recommend eventually. Kapton film needs to be modify according to the method listed in the conlusion. This thesis gives us a clear overview and inspiration for additional research of this device. It finds it’s place in research facilities and companies manufacturing protective clothing.

Structure and evolution of basin and petroleum systems within a transformrelated passive margin setting : data-based insights from crust-scale 3D modelling of the Western Bredasdorp Basin, offshore South AfricaSonibare, Wasiu Adedayo 04 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the crustal structure, and assesses the qualitative and quantitative impacts of crust-mantle dynamics on subsidence pattern, past and present-day thermal field and petroleum
system evolution at the southern South African continental margin through the application of a
multi-disciplinary and multi-scale geo-modelling procedure involving both conceptual and
numerical approaches. The modelling procedure becomes particularly important as this margin
documents a complex interaction of extension and strike-slip tectonics during its Mesozoic
continental rifting processes. Located on the southern shelf of South Africa, the Western
Bredasdorp Basin (WBB) constitutes the focus of this study and represents the western section of
the larger Bredasdorp sub-basin, which is the westernmost of the southern offshore sub-basins. To
understand the margin with respect to its present-day structure, isostatic state and thermal field, a
combined approach of isostatic, 3D gravity and 3D thermal modelling was performed by integrating
potential field, seismic and well data. Complimenting the resulting configuration and thermal field
of the latter by measured present-day temperature, vitrinite reflectance and source potential data,
basin-scale burial and thermal history and timing of source rock maturation, petroleum generation,
expulsion, migration and accumulation were forwardly simulated using a 3D basin modelling
technique. This hierarchical modelling workflow enables geologic assumptions and their associated
uncertainties to be well constrained and better quantified, particularly in three dimensions.
At present-day, the deep crust of the WBB is characterised by a tripartite density structure (i.e. prerift
metasediments underlain by upper and lower crustal domains) depicting a strong thinning that is
restricted to a narrow E-W striking zone. The configuration of the radiogenic crystalline crust as
well as the conductivity contrasts between the deep crust and the shallow sedimentary cover
significantly control the present-day thermal field of the study area. In all respects, this present-day
configuration reflects typical characteristics of basin evolution in a strike-slip setting. For instance,
the orientations of the deep crust and fault-controlled basin-fill are spatially inconsistent, thereby
indicating different extension kinematics typical of transtensional pull-apart mechanisms. As such,
syn-rift subsidence is quite rapid and short-lived, and isostatic equilibrium is not achieved,
particularly at the Moho level.
Accompanied syn-rift rapid subsidence and a heat flow peak led to petroleum preservation in the
basin since the Early Cretaceous. Two additional post-rift thermal anomalies related to the Late
Cretaceous hotspot mechanism and Miocene margin uplift in Southern Africa succeeded the syn-rift
control on maturation. This thermal maturity of the five mature source rocks culminated in four
main generation and three main accumulation phases which characterise the total petroleum systems
of the WBB. The Campanian, Eocene and Miocene uplift scenarios episodically halted source
maturation and caused tertiary migration of previously trapped petroleum. Petroleum loss related to
the spill point of each trap configuration additionally occurs during the Late Cretaceous-Paleocene
and Oligocene-Early Miocene. The timing and extent of migration dynamics are most sensitive to
the geological scenario that combined faulting, intrusive seal bypass system and facies
heterogeneity. In fact, for models that do not incorporate facies heterogeneity, predicted past and
present-day seafloor leakage of petroleum is largely underestimated. This complex interplay of
generation and migration mechanisms has significant implications for charging of petroleum
accumulations by multiple source rocks. Due to early maturation and late stage tertiary migration,
the syn-rift source rocks particularly Mid Hauterivian and Late Hauterivian source intervals
significantly control the extent of petroleum accumulation and loss in the basin.
Lastly, the modelled 3D crustal configuration and Mezosoic to Cenozoic thermal regime of the
WBB dispute classic uniform lithospheric stretching for the southern South African continental
margin. Rather, this PhD thesis confirms that differential thinning of the lithosphere related to a
transtensional pull-apart mechanism is the most appropriate for accurately predicting the evolution
of basin and petroleum systems of the margin. Also, the presented 3D models currently represent
the most advanced insights, and thus have clear implications for assessing associated risks in basin
and prospect evaluation of the margin as well as other similar continental margins around the world. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die korsstruktuur en evalueer die kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe impakte
van kors-mantel-dinamika op insinkingspatroon, die termiese veld en petroleumstels evolusie aan
die suidelike Suid-Afrikaanse kontinentale grens, in die hede en die verlede, deur die toepassing van
’n multidissiplinêre en multiskaal-geomodelleringsprosedure wat beide konseptuele en numeriese
benaderings behels. Die modelleringsprosedure veral is belangrik aangesien hierdie kontinentale
grens ’n komplekse interaksie van uitbreidings- en strekkingsparallelle tektoniek gedurende die
Mesosoïese vastelandskeurprosesse daarvan dokumenteer. Omdat dit op die suidelike platvorm van
Suid-Afrika geleë is, maak die Westelike Bredasdorp Kom (WBK) die fokus van hierdie studie uit,
en verteenwoordig dit die westelike deel van die groter Bredasdrop-subkom, wat die verste wes is
van die suidelike aflandige subkomme. Om die grens met betrekking tot sy huidige struktuur,
isostatiese staat en termiese veld te verstaan, is ’n kombinasie benadering bestaande uit isostatiese,
3D-gravitasie- en 3D- termiese modellering gebruik deur potensiëleveld-, seismiese en boorgatdata
te integreer Ondersteunend totot die gevolglike konfigurasie en termiese veld van die laasgenoemde
deur middel van hedendaagse temperatuur, soos gemeet, vitriniet-refleksiekoëffisiënt en bronpotensiaal
data, komskaal-begrawing en termiese geskiedenis en tydsberekening van
brongesteentematurasie, is petroleumgenerasie, -uitwerping, -migrasie en -akkumulasie in die
toekoms gesimuleer deur gebruik te maak van ’n 3D-kommodelleringstegniek. Hierdie hierargiese
modelleringswerkvloei maak dit moontlik om geologiese aannames en hulle geassosieerde
onsekerhede goed aan bande te lê en beter te kwantifiseer, veral in drie dimensies.
In die hede word die diep kors van die WBK gekarakteriseer deur ’n drieledige digtheidstruktuur
(met ander woorde voorrift-metasedimente onderlê deur bo- en benedekors domeine) wat dui op ’n
baie wesenlike verdunning, beperk tot ’n dun O-W-strekkingsone. Die konfigurasie van die
radiogeniese kristallyne kors, sowel as die konduktiwiteitskontraste tussen die diep kors en die vlak
sedimentêre dekking, beheer grotendeels die hedendaagse termiese veld van die studiearea. Hierdie
hedendaagse konfigurasie weerspieël in alle opsigte tipiese eienskappe van kom-evolusie in ’n
skuifskeur omgewing. Byvoorbeeld, Die oriëntasies van die diep kors en verskuiwingbeheerde
komsedimentasie byvoorbeeld is ruimtelik inkonsekwent en dui daardeur op verskillende
ekstensiekinematika, tipies van transtensionale tensiemeganisme. As sulks, is sin-rift-versakking
taamlik vinnig en kortstondig, en word isostatiese ekwilibrium nie by die Moho-vlak, in die
besonder, bereik nie.
Samehangende sin-rift vinnige versakking en hittevloeihoogtepunt het gelei tot petroleum behoud in die kom sedert die vroeë Kryt. Twee bykomende post-rift termiese anomalieë wat verband hou met
die laat Kryt-“hotspot” meganisme en die Mioseense kontinentale grensopheffing in Suidelike
Afrika het die sin-rift-beheer met maturasie opgevolg. Hierdie termiese maturiteit van die vyf
gematureerde brongesteentes het in vier hoofgenerasie- en drie hoofakkumulasie fases, wat die
totaliteit van die petroleumstelsels van die WBK karakteriseer, gekulmineer. Die Campaniese,
Eoseense en Mioseense opheffings senarios het episodies bronmaturasie gestop en tersiêre migrasie
van petroleum wat vroeër opgevang was veroorsaak. Addisioneel vind petroleumverlies gekoppel
aan die spilpunt van elke opvanggebiedkonfigurasie tydens die laat Kryt-Paleoseen en Oligoseenvroeë
Mioseen plaas. Die tydstelling en omvang van migrasiedinamika is die sensitiefste vir die
geologiese scenario wat verskuiwing, seëlomseilingstelsel en fasiesheterogeniteit kombineer.
Trouens, vir modelle wat nie fasiesheterogeniteit inkorporeer nie, is voorspellings van vroeëre en
huidige seebodemlekkasie van petroleum grotendeels onderskattings. Hierdie komplekse
wisselwerking van generasie- en migrasiemeganismes het beduidende implikasies vir die laai van
petroleumakkumulasies deur veelvoudige brongesteentes. Vanweë vroeë maturasie en laatstadiumtersiêre
migrasie, oefen die sin-rift-brongesteentes, veral middel Hauterivium- en laat Hauteriviumbronintervalle,
beduidende beheer oor die omvang van petroleumakkumulasie en -verlies in die
kom uit.
Laastens weerspreek die gemodelleerde 3D-korskonfigurasie en Mesosoïese-tot-Senosoïesetermiese
regime van die WBK ’n klassieke uniforme litosferiese rekking vir die suidelike Suid-
Afrikaanse kontinentale grens. Inteendeel, hierdie PhD-proefskrif bevestig dat ’n differensiële
verdunning van die litosfeer, gekoppel aan ’n transtensiemeganisme, die beste geskik is om ’n
akkurate voorspelling oor die evolusie van kom- en petroleumstelsels van die kontinentale grens
mee te maak. Verder, verteenwoordig die 3D-modelle, wat hier aangebied word, tans die mees
gevorderde insigte, en het hierdie modelle dus duidelike implikasies vir die assessering van
verwante risiko’s in kom- en petroleum teikene valuering van die kontinentale grens, so wel as van
ander soortgelyke kontinentale grense regoor die wêreld.
