Continuous Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Sargassum seaweed

open access: yes, 2023
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is often mooted as a promising and sustainable processing methodology for conversion of biomass into usable products, including bio-oils, which have the potential to alleviate humanitys reliance on fossil fuels.

Numerical Simulation as Laboratory Liquefaction Test Comparison for Geological Hazard Countermeasure: A Preliminary Study [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Liquefaction is a secondary hazard due to earthquakes, which is one of the geological hazards. The impairment caused can damage infrastructure on a wide scale and even cause casualties. Several phenomenal liquefaction events have been recorded throughout

Effect of Anisotropic Yielding on the Flow Liquefaction of Loose Sand

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2002
Abstract: In very loose sand, the ratio M-p of shear stress to mean normal stress at the peak point of the undrained effective stress path (UESP) is very close to the stress ratio M at the peak point of the capped yield surface. Stress ratios M-p can therefore be used in constructing yield surfaces of sands.

Unified analysis of liquefaction and the ground flow phenomenon [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Applied Mechanics, 2007
Loose saturated sand behaves as a solid before liquefaction but as a fluid when the excess pore water pressure equals the initial confining stress, after which it recovers its strength. A simple constitutive equation for loose saturated sand was developed to express the phase transformation between a solid and fluid during liquefaction and the ground ...

Numerical study of seabed response and liquefaction around a jacket support offshore wind turbine foundation under combined wave and current loading

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2022
The seabed instability induced by the transient liquefaction when exposed to wave-current may threaten the safety of offshore structures. In this study, the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations with the k–ε turbulence model were used to ...

Seabed liquefaction around breakwater heads at a river mouth: An integrated 3D model

open access: yes, 2021
In this paper, a 3D model is developed to investigate the foundation stability around breakwaters at a river mouth, where both ocean waves and river currents are considered. The present model consists of flow and seabed sub-models. In the flow sub-model,

Thermal Efficiency and Economics of a Boil-Off Hydrogen Re-Liquefaction System Considering the Energy Efficiency Design Index for Liquid Hydrogen Carriers

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
This study analyzes the thermodynamic, economic, and regulatory aspects of boil-off hydrogen (BOH) in liquid hydrogen (LH2) carriers that can be re-liquefied using a proposed re-liquefaction system or used as fuel in a fuel cell stack.

The Combined Effect of Buoyancy and Excess Pore Pressure in Facilitating Soil Liquefaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceSoil liquefaction is a devastating earthquake hazard, commonly causing tilting, sinking and floating of infrastructure. The classical mechanism for liquefaction requires undrained and loosely packed soil, that upon shear experiences

Engineering geologic assessment of the slope movements and liquefaction failures of the 23 October 2011 Van earthquake (Mw= 7.2) [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013
On 23 October 2011, a Mw = 7.2 earthquake occurred in the Van Province in eastern Turkey, killing 604 people. The earthquake was triggered by a thrust fault due to a compression stress in the region, and caused extensive damage over a large area.
