Simulation procedure of unconfined seepage with an inner seepage face in a heterogeneous field
An inner seepage face phenomenon is given and a numerical simulation procedure has been developed. It may appear at the interface of two materials when an unconfined seepage flows from a porous media to a coarser porous media with a higher permeability ...

Soil conditions and bounds to suction during the installation of caisson foundations in sand [PDF]
Suction installation of caisson foundations is widely adopted in the oil offshore industry. When such foundations are installed in sand, seepage conditions are known to play a pivotal role in the installation process.

ABSTRACT This research paper provides an extensive study of the effects of Darcy–Forchheimer von‐Karman spinning flow of Maxwell fluid across a stretching disk including the effect of heat generation based on a nonlinear function of temperature. The flow system is influenced by thermal radiations and Arrhenius activation energy.

Storage seepage and evaporation: a summary of the results from the measurement of seepage and evaporation losses from 136 on-farm storages across the cotton industry [PDF]
On-farm storages can be a major source of water loss on cotton farms. Previous studies in the Macintyre valley (Dalton 2001)indicated seepage losses of between 2% and 10% and evaporation losses of between 14% and 40% of all farm water in a year. In order

Description and Application of A Model of Seepage under A Weir Including Mechanical Clogging
The paper discusses seepage flow under a damming structure (a weir) in view of mechanical clogging in a thin layer at the upstream site. It was assumed that in this layer flow may be treated as one-dimensional (perpendicular to the layer), while ...

Soil Solution Analysis With Untargeted GC–MS—A Case Study With Different Lysimeter Types
Surface-sourced organic compounds in infiltrating waters and percolates are transformed during their belowground passage. Biotic and abiotic processes thereby lead to continuously changing chemical environments in subsurface compartments.

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Modeling the effect of downstream drain geometry on seepage through earth dams
This research investigates the effect of downstream drain’s geometry on seepage through homogeneous earth dams founded on an impervious foundation. A permeability tank experimental model and SEEP2D numerical model are used in the study. The dam’s failure

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify
