The coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM)
has become an important method for studying dense fluidized beds. Since DEM can track …

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 …

Subsurface flow can be an important process in gully erosion through its impact on
decreasing soil cohesion and erosion resistance as soil water content or pressure increases …

This book integrates the physical processes of dam breaching and the mathematical aspects
of risk assessment in a concise manner• The first book that introduces the causes, processes …

Coupled hydromechanical finite-element modeling of granular soils, taking into account
internal erosion, is computationally prohibitive. Alternative data-driven approaches require …

In this paper, we develop a resolved coupling model to simulate interaction between two-
phase fluids and irregularly shaped particles by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …

Abstract A semi-resolved CFD-DEM model is proposed to model the seepage-induced fine
particle migration within the gap-graded soils consisting of fine and coarse particles. In this …

In this paper, we develop a numerical model for simulating the solid-liquid-gas three-phase
flow in unconsolidated particle layers. Based on the discrete element method (DEM) and the …

SUMMARY A micro‐hydromechanical model for granular materials is presented. It combines
the discrete element method for the modeling of the solid phase and a pore‐scale finite …

One of the major causes of instability in geotechnical structures such as dikes or earth dams
is the phenomenon of suffusion including detachment, transport and filtration of fine particles …
