Wedge Geometry and Detachment Strength in Deepwater Fold-Thrust Belts
Earth-Science Reviews, 2017Deepwater fold-thrust belts (DWFTBs) have been classified into three groups according to the present-day stress regime and tectonic setting. Near-field stress-driven DWFTBs are usually associated with passive margins. They are thin-skinned gravitational deformation with thick salt or overpressured shale detachments.

Mechanics of extensional wedges and geometry of normal faults
Journal of Structural Geology, 1994Abstract Based on the assumption that rocks are fractured simultaneously where the principle stresses reach the critical values of the modified Griffith criterion presented in this paper, a possible formation mechanism for upper crustal extensional wedges is discussed.

Interfacial statistical geometry: Fluids adsorbed in wedges and at edges
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004An exact sum rule is derived that links the structure of fluids adsorbed in wedges and at edges to the interfacial free energy far from the wedge apex. By focusing on hard-wall models, one observes a correspondence between interfacial statistical mechanics and geometry.

The effect of décollement dip on geometry and kinematics of model accretionary wedges
Journal of Structural Geology, 2003We conducted a series of sand-box models shortened asymmetrically above a frictional-plastic decollement to study the influence of amount and sense of the decollement dip on the geometry and kinematics of accretionary wedges. Model results illustrate that the amount and direction of decollement dip strongly influence the geometry and mode of ...

The effect of wedge position and inlet geometry on shock wave reflection
SPIE Proceedings, 2017Experiments were conducted in a shock tube to determine the effect of planar wedge inlet geometry on the shock wave reflection pattern that occurred on a wedge. High-speed schlieren imaging was used to visualize the experiments conducted in air with a nominal incident shock strength of Mach 1.31.

Numerical study of inviscid shock interactions on double-wedge geometries
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1997Computational fluid dynamics has been used to study inviscid shock interactions on double-wedge geometries with the purpose of understanding the fundamental gas dynamics of these interactions. The parameter space of the interactions has been explored and the different types of interactions that occur have been identified.

Geometry of the transition criterion of shock wave reflection over a wedge
Shock Waves, 2014The hysteresis phenomena of shock wave reflection observed during recent numerical and experimental investigations are analyzed in this paper using dynamical system theory. It is found through the analysis that the geometry of the transition criterion of shock wave reflection over a wedge has the shape of a butterfly.

Liquids confined in wedge shaped pores: Nonuniform pressure induced by pore geometry
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004Lennard-Jones liquids confined in wedge shaped nanopores are investigated using molecular dynamics computer simulations. We show that small deviations from the parallel slit geometry result in nonuniform pressures and density profiles along the pore.

Quantification of boundary definition using pulsed terahertz radiation for wedged geometries
2007 Joint 32nd International Conference on Infrared and Millimeter Waves and the 15th International Conference on Terahertz Electronics, 2007The interaction of a terahertz beam with a sample containing a material boundary across the profile of the terahertz beam produces characteristic spectroscopic detail. A full vectorial model is presented to quantify boundary definition for a series of wedged geometries.

Space-charge-limited, two-dimensional unmagnetized flow in a wedge geometry
Journal of Applied Physics, 2007This paper studies the space-charge-limited current in an infinite wedge geometry in two dimensions. This geometry permits a reduction of the problem to a set of easily solved ordinary differential equations. The system, though very simplified, exhibits features similar to those expected to occur in many realistic systems with inhomogeneous electric ...
