Calibration of discrete element parameters for simulating wheat crushing
The mechanical properties of wheat grains were measured and analyzed using discrete element software, which provided crucial data for their processing in a mill. The optimal parameters were calculated and incorporated into the EDEM model for computation, which resulted in a relative error of 1.6% between the calculated and observed values, confirming ...

Abstract Channel networks exert a key control on drainage basins shape and dynamics, including the transfer of water and sediments throughout basins, and thus hydrosedimentary hazards. Landscape dissection by channels results from the competition between hillslope processes and channelized erosion processes such as overland flow or debris flows.

We address the relationship between the bedrock structure and bedrock surface topography through conducting structural analysis of the bedrock within the main recharge area of the Kurikka aquifer. Based on the presented results, it is evident that the initial bedrock‐digital elevation model (DEM) with smooth elevation transitions from the elevated ...

FEM–DEM modeling of pseudo static experiments on scaled‐down rockfill dams with dry stone pitching
Abstract Rockfill dams with stone pitching are specific hydraulic structures generally built in the early XXth century where stones used to be hand‐placed without mortar to constitute the upward and downward dam faces. Few studies have been carried out to quantify the specific and critical role of the pitching in the dam stability against both static ...

Mapping rill soil erosion in agricultural fields with UAV‐borne remote sensing data
An automatic workflow is introduced to map erosion rills at field scale in UAV‐photogrammetry derived digital elevation models by considering topographic features and machine learning. Abstract Soil erosion by water is a main form of land degradation worldwide.

Abstract Fault zones are usually composed of a granular gouge, coming from the wear material of previous slips, which contributes to friction stability. When considering a mature enough fault zone that has already been sheared, different types of infill materials can be observed, from mineral cementation to matrix particles that can fill the remaining ...

Abstract Urban roads are especially vulnerable to waterlogging during rainfall events. Assessments of urban road waterlogging risk are critical for disaster prevention and mitigation. This paper presents a rapid and practical approach for assessing the risk of urban road waterlogging based on a source–pathway–receptor concept and a digital elevation ...

Spline quasi‐interpolation in the Bernstein basis and its application to digital elevation models
A nonstandard low‐cost spline approximation method for approximating bivariate functions is constructed. It is applied for Digital Elevation approximation and then its accuracy in the downscaling process is studied.

Search for the waterfalls in Ethiopia using remote sensing data
Waterfalls are specific hydrological and hydrobiological objects that often serve as the natural obstacles for spreading of aquatic animal species, resulting as discontinuous range of these species.
