Air entrainment and splash characteristics in jet flows: Effect of downstream water levels
Abstract This study investigates the air–water interaction dynamics in jet streams, with particular emphasis on the transition from the cavity to the far‐field regions. A dual‐tip conductivity phase‐detection probe was employed to analyze four distinct downstream water levels.

Effects of porosity on strength and deformation of rockfill materials
In view of the rockfill materials utilized in a 300 m - grade high earth-rock core rockfill dam to be constructed, large static triaxial tests under different porosities are performed to analyze the influences of porosity on strength and deformation of ...
