Yade is an extensible open-source framework for discrete numerical models, focused on the
Discrete Element Method. The computation parts are written in c++ using a flexible object …

The flow direction is generally different from the gravity direction in geotechnical structures
or slopes, the effect of which during suffusion remains unclear. This paper presents a …

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

Internal erosion can trigger severe engineering disasters, such as the failure of embankment
dams and uneven settlement of buildings and sinkholes. This paper comprehensively …

Suffusion involves fine particles migration within the matrix of coarse fraction under seepage
flow, which usually occurs in the gap‐graded material of dams and levees. Key factors …

A 3–4D soil model represents a logical step forward from one‐dimensional soil columns
(1D), two‐dimensional soil maps (2D), and three‐dimensional soil volumes (3D) toward …

Abstract Models that introduce rolling resistance at the contact are widely employed in
simulations using the discrete element method (DEM) to indirectly represent particle shape …

Soil internal erosion refers to any process that the finer grains are eroded from the matrix of
coarser grains due to seepage. A coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete …

This study investigates the evolution of suffusion and mechanical behaviors of gap-graded
soils under anisotropic stress conditions. The interactions between granular assembly and …

As a typical form of internal erosion, suffusion refers to the detachment and migration of fine
particles through voids among coarse particles driven by seepage flow. This paper studies …
