The document describes the facies and lithology of fan delta systems. It discusses:
1. Fan deltas have a three-tiered structure of topset, foreset, and bottom set deposits. The foreset is the most developed and contains subaqueous channel and front bar deposits.
2. Front bar deposits contain high-angle conglomerates over 1.5m thick with imbricate structures. Channels contain cross-bedded conglomerates and sandstones.
3. Bottom sets are fine-grained mudstones and shales that form in prodelta environments distal to the delta front.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

1. 2. Fan delta front
The facies belt of a fan delta front mainly comprises conglomeratic and sandstone mixed with grayish-green mud sand and a little inferior oil shale.
The lithology of this facies belt varies considerably, and this facies belt is the best developed part in a fan delta sand body, which can be further divided into a subaqueous distributary channel, subaqueous distributary mouth bar, and sheet sand.
The subaqueous distributary channel is a combination of conglomeratic and sandstone, mixed with thin layers of mudstone, and it develops megascopic trough cross bedding, parallel bedding, and cross bedding.
The thickness of a single sequence is 0.3–2 m, and positive rhythmic layer fining upward is presented.
The superimposed sand body thickness of a multilayer river can reach tens of meters, and its SP curve mostly shows a cylinder shape.
The river mouth bar is formed by the inter bedding of well sorted pebbly sandstone and sandstone with gray mudstone.
Bedding, dominated by low-angle planar cross bedding and parallel bedding, is developed.
The SP curve shows a funnel shape-bell shape or fore set finger shape.
In certain fan-delta front facies, the river mouth bar is poorly developed or not developed at all.
Sheet sand, which is a sand body, can be seen as a thin layer distributed at the outer edge of a river mouth bar, with lithology fining and dominated by sedimentary sandstone.
The SP curve shows finger and serrated shapes.
Gilbert-type fan deltas are also common in ancient lakes located at the crack edge of a lacustrine basin and steep slope zone
3. Front (fan) delta
Front (fan) deltas enter semi-deep lake areas, and their lithology is light and dark gray mudstone mixed with a little sandstone, siltstone, calcareous shale, and oil shale.
Many ostracoda and pyrites are contained in the mudstone.
The sandstone mainly develops miniature wave ripple cross bedding and ripple crossing bedding.
The SP curve shows a serrated or the low-amplitude flat shape.
The underlying layer of a regressive fan delta is mainly deep lake sub facies.
Front contemporaneous deposit is mostly deep lake sub facies also.
Its main sequence is coarsening upward, the sand body plane is shown to be fan shaped, and the section form is lenticular.
1. Topset (fan delta plain)
This is mainly the braided river sedimentation of a fan delta plain, which mainly contains coarse-grained sediments including gravelstone, conglomeratic, and sandstone supported by matrix or particles.
Channel sand with a thickness of up to tens of meters is deposited by the longitudinal bar and transverse bar in the channel.
The inter channel sediments are mostly amaranth and variegated mudstone; nodules may be contained, and mud cracks can be seen.
In addition, high-angle planar cross bedding can be seen in the channel.
2. Foreset (fan delta front)
The foreset is the most developed part of a fan delta sand body, which is composed mainly of high-angle conglomeratic and foreset sandstone, and it can be divided further into sand microfacies such as subaqueous distributary channels and front bars.
(1) Subaqueous distributary channel
This is mainly composed of conglomeratic and sandstone, and high-angle planar and trough cross beddings are developed.
Local conglomerates are shown as directional alignment, and many intrastratal scour surfaces, lag gravels, and boulder clays are present.
The interchannel sediment is mainly sand shale interbed, formed because of an overflowing channel or crevasse in the flood period.
The SP curve of distributary channel deposit is dominated by cylinder and serrated cylinder shapes.
(2) Front bar
In the depositional sequence of Gilbert-type fan deltas, the high-angle foreset gravel bar is well developed.
The thickness of a single layer of conglomeratic is usually more than 1.5 m.
It is in abrupt contact between the bottom and the underlying layer, and conglomerate is mostly shown as having imbricate or directional alignment with a foreset angle of 25°–45°, coarsening upward or with alternating intrastratal grain size change.
Toward the basin, gravel foreset gradually changes into sandy foreset.
The top and bottom of the sand layer mostly show gradual change with the fine-coarse-fine sequence characteristic.
Outside the river mouth bar, thin frontal sheet sand that transits into the bottom set can be developed.
The SP curve of the front bar shows a serrated funnel shape-cylinder shape combination and a progradational finger shape.
(3) Bottom set (prodelta)
The bottom set comprises fine-grained sediments of the front (fan) delta, and the lithology is gray to dark gray mudstone, shale, and oil shale, possibly mixed with a few thin siltstone layers.
The SP curve mostly shows a flat straight line.
11.7.3.3 Gilbert-Type Model
Gilbert-type fan deltas are also common in
ancient lakes located at the crack edge of a
lacustrine basin and steep slope zone.
This type of fan delta has an
obvious three-tiered structure, comprising topset,
foreset, and bottom set (Table 11.16).
2. 11.10.2.1 Bounding Surface Hierarchy
Through research on continental delta sedimentation, the bounding surface hierarchy of continental deltas can be divided into 6 levels (Fig. 11.69):
the boundaries of levels ④, ⑤ and ⑥ should be considered when the genetic unit is divided because the former three levels of bounding surface mainly control second or third developments but have no significant influence
on the evaluation, prediction, and primary recovery of reservoirs.
All existing reservoir geological models established in China employ levels ④ and ⑤ or the latter three levels for demarcation, especially in interstratified and intra stratal heterogeneity research.
The last level of surface is usually the standard for the division of whole oilfields or depositional system surfaces.
11.10.2.2 Delta Lithologic Facies Classification
The division of interfaces causes some difficulties in coring, however research on lithofacies association types compensates for the aforementioned difficulties.
It not only reflects the differences of genetic sand bodies due to different sedimentations but also clarifies their vertical rhythms, physical properties, and heterogeneity.
Continental lacustrine basin deltas can be divided into 14 types of basic lithofacies:
① massive conglomerate facies (Gm);
② imbricate conglomerate facies (Gi);
③ flood bedding conglomerate facies (Gf);
④ planar cross bedding conglomerate facies (Sp);
⑤ parallel bedding conglomerate facies (Sh);
⑥ trough cross bedding conglomerate facies (St);
⑦ massive conglomerate facies (Sm);
⑧ swash bedding conglomerate facies (Ss);
⑨ wave cross bedding conglomerate facies (Sw);
⑩ wavy-interrupted wavy cross bedding, fine-sand facies (Fr);
⑪ parallel bedding silt lithofacies (Fh);
⑫ massive bedding silt lithofacies (Fm);
⑬ silt and muddy thin interbed complex beddings facies (Fc); and
⑭ mudstone facies (M). Mudstone facies can be subdivided into two types based on genesis and color.
The first is dark gray mudstone facies (M1), and it is usually the product of lacustrine mud;
the second is purplish gray, brownish red massive silty mudstone facies (M2), and it is the product of overbank deposits on a delta plain.
Fig. 11.69 Based on the study of continental deltaic deposits, different deposition scale interface can be divided into six grades.
A) Depositional system scale; B) sand body scale; C) core scale; and ①–⑥ represent the six surface levels (see text for explanation)
3. Fig. 11.55 The face zones of fan delta occur generally completely, with well
developed upward coarsening sequence characteristics
1. Fan delta plain
Fan delta plain subfacies are mainly composed of a mixture of conglomerate and conglomeratic, mingled with red, yellow, grayish-green, and variegated
mudstone and dominated by braided river sedimentation.
The single sequence is fining upward.
Relatively megascopic planar cross bedding and parallel bedding can be seen in conglomeratic.
Mixed massive argillaceous conglomerates or conglomerates supported by matrix can also be seen in the coarse clastic profile, belonging to onshore
detrital flow deposit. The SP curve of the fan delta plain facies belt mainly shows a serrated low-amplitude cylinder shape.
4. 11.8 Braid Delta
A braid delta is a type of coarse-grained delta commonly formed in the short-axis direction of a lacustrine basin.
It can also be developed when the slope of a basin is narrow in the long-axis direction and the provenance is near.
Nemec and Steel (1988) divided braided rivers into single braided river deltas and braided plain deltas according to the quantity, in which the former takes the single braided river as its source and the latter takes
the braided plain as its source.
There is a large gradient on the shore side and the subaqueous slope of this type of delta, the lakeshore is close to the piedmont, and current is short, which means it enters lake water only when developed in the braided river stage.
Hence, a braid delta is formed, which shortens the flow path of the river before it enters the lake.
Accordingly, it is called a short flow path delta.
In sag ponds, the braid delta is commonly developed and is mainly distributed on the gentle slope side of the short axis (or narrow steep slope in the long axis direction).
On the short-axis steep side of a lacustrine basin, where the slope is steep and close to the mountains, the alluvial fan directly enters into the lake to form a fan delta, but in the continuous fore set of the fan delta, the slope increases and becomes
gentle, resulting in a gradual transformation to a braid delta (Fig. 11.57).
Hence, braid deltas fall under the scope of fan deltas.
A single braided river delta refers to a coarse-grained delta rich in sand and gravel, and is formed due to the braided river plain by the fore set of a single bed load river entering a stable water body (Yu et al. 1995; Fig. 11.56).
5. 11.8.1 Differences Among Braid Deltas, Normal Fan Deltas, and Fan Deltas
The sedimentary characteristics of a braid delta lie between those of a normal delta and fan delta.
11.8.1.1 Difference from Normal Delta
The sedimentary characteristics of braided river deltas are similar to those of normal deltas, however the biggest differences between them are their source and particles. In general, a braided river delta or short flow path delta is supplied by a braided river, while a normal delta or
long
flow path delta is mainly supplied by a meandering river.
In addition, the granularity of a braid delta is usually coarse; hence, it is called a coarse-grained delta.
However, the granularity of a normal delta is finer than that of a braid delta; hence, it is called a fine-grained delta.
Braid delta sub facies can also be divided into three sections, namely, delta plain, delta front, and prodelta sedimentation.
However, it is commonly divided by quartering, which means
dividing the delta plain into (upper and lower parts), and each sub facies and microfacies are different from those of a normal delta.
(1) The distributary channel of a braided river plain has the characteristics of a braided river, which means channel deposit is tabular and has high width/thickness ratio; clastic particles are relatively coarse; the contents of sand and gravel are high
(normal delta is dominated by sand and silt); channels have no typical “dual structure” feature, which means few topset sub facies or overbank sediments; and channels are not stable and easy to migrate, thus coarse clastic sand bodies are usually distributed in pieces on the plane.
(2) A braided river is developed in a subaqueous distributary channel.
Owing to the large flow magnitude of a braided river and the abundance of fragmentary material, the bed load/suspended matter ratio is high.
Therefore, after entering into the water body, the channel depositional facies is relatively developed, followed by the distributary mouth bar, which is very different from the pattern observed in a normal delta.
When the source supply is adequate, the terrain slope is medium, distributary mouth bar is relatively developed, and its plane modality is mainly shown as a rhombus sand bar.
(3) The size of a braided delta is smaller than that of a normal fine-grained delta, however braided deltas are often distributed in groups, especially in steep terrain.
11.8.1.2 Difference from Fan Delta
Braided deltas and fan deltas are coarse grain deltas. Some scholars hold the opinion that they can be merged into fan deltas, but their sedimentary characteristics are obviously different.
The main difference lies in their development states of source supply and gravity flow.
The supply source of a braided delta is a braided river, while that of a fan delta is an alluvial fan (including dry fan and wet fan), and no debris flow is developed on a braided delta plain.
However, debris flow is commonly seen on a fan delta plain, and dry arid fan delta debris flow is especially developed.
Specifically, the following points should be noted (Table 11.17):
①Gravity flow sedimentation of a fan delta is usually better developed than that of a braid delta, and debris flow is particularly common in a fan delta plain.
② The granularity of a fan delta is much coarser than that of a braided (river) delta.
③ Fan deltas mainly take Gm, Gp, Gi, and Gt as their main Litho facies, while Litho facies Sm, Sh, and Fh are less developed compared to those of braid deltas.
④ The vertical sedimentary sequence of a fan delta is dominated by conglomerates with rapid granularity change, while the sequence granularity change of a braid delta is relatively slow; a fan delta shows a relatively wider range of granularity
variation than a braid delta.
⑤The distributary channel of a braid delta is a fine-grained straight river or a meandering river with low sinuosity.
⑥ Both deltas do not develop the coarsening-upward sequence well, however conglomerate facies may occur on certain sequences of a fan delta, while the coarsest particle in a braid delta is medium sand, because a braid delta mostly
comprises fine sand-silt.
6. Fig. 11.56 Sedimentary sketch map of all types of delta (after Einsele 2000).
a) Marine fan delta formed due to alluvial fan or braided river plain prograding seaward.
Notably, a coarse-grained beach ridge (rock river gravel) can form a lagoon or pond free from waves and air flow, and the silt and mudstone of an ancient
beach ridge and lagoon facies may be covered by fluvial deposits.
b)It is not only affected by sedimentary supply (HI high supply; MI medium supply) but also divided into different forms, namely, wave-controlled and tide-
dominated (LE low-energy; ME medium-energy; HE high-energy) megascopic marine delta.
C) Different sub-environments of megascopic lobate wave-controlled to tide-dominated delta system (similar to the modern Niger Delta)
