Slurry pipe transport has directed the efforts of researchers for decades, not only for the
practical impact of this problem, but also for the challenges in understanding and modelling …

Particle settling velocity is a fundamental parameter in sedimentology and engineering, and
has accordingly received much attention in the literature. Grain properties, such as shape …

Behaviour of granular soils subjected to internal erosion involves complex coupling between
solid–fluid interaction, skeleton deformation and microstructural evolutions. This paper …

Loose wide-grading soils are commonly found in the source areas of debris flows, and in
landslides after an earthquake. During rainfall events, fine particles (fines) in the soils …

Permeability is one of the most fundamental properties of soil, which governs many
geotechnical engineering problems. However, among the published equations that predict …

The unresolved model is widely applied in the CFD-DEM coupling simulation for particulate
flows due to its lower computational cost compared with the resolved model. However, it …

In many large‐scale land reclamation projects, vacuum preloading combined with a
prefabricated vertical drain (PVD) system has been utilized successfully to improve the slurry …

This paper presents a microscopic numerical study on membrane clogging of prefabricated
vertical drain (PVD) installed in slurry when treated by vacuum preloading method. The …

The clogging of a dense stream of particles when passing through an orifice occurs
ubiquitously in both natural and industrial fields. Since most of the jamming phenomena …

The Stokes equation used in the measurement of particle size distribution is based on the
assumption that there are no interactions between settling soil particles. This requirement is …
