Micromechanical modeling of internal erosion [PDF]
Suffusion is the internal erosion process by which finer soil particles are detached from the solid matrix, and transported through constrictions by seepage flow. At the macroscopic scale, this is a bulk erosion process and corresponds to a source term in the mass balance equations.

Centrifuge Modelling of an Internal Erosion Mechanism [PDF]
Suffusion is an internal erosion mechanism, which means the transport of fine particles within the soil due to hydraulic interflows. With the objective to characterize this mechanism and to study a scale effect presented in literature, a specific centrifuge bench is designed. Test specimens of mixture of sand and kaolinite are compacted in rigid walled

A Review of the Erosion of Thermal Barrier Coatings. [PDF]
The application of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) to components with internal cooling in the hot gas stream of gas turbine engines has facilitated a steep increase in the turbine entry temperature and the associated increase in performance and ...

Reservoir theory for studying the geochemical evolution of soils [PDF]
[1] Linking mineral weathering rates measured in the laboratory to those measured at the landscape scale is problematic. In laboratory studies, collections of minerals are exposed to the same weathering environment over a fixed amount of time. In natural

Experimental Study of the Premonitory Factors for Internal Erosion and Piping Failure of Landslide Dams [PDF]
ydrodynamics is prerequisite for a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of internal erosion and piping failure of landslide dams. To this end, a series of large-scale (outdoor) physical experiments were conducted to evaluate the premonitory ...

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]
With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of sediment contributing to marsh elevation gain were computed for Plum ...
