In the investigation of sediment transport, it is necessary to differentiate various definitions of
angle of repose (AoR) available in the literature. The static AoR, composed of upper and …

The collapse of a granular column confined in a vertical annulus is investigated through both
experiments and DEM. During the collapse of column, an outward-moving avalanche and a …

Dike erosion is a crucial issue in coastal and fluvial flood risk management. These defense
structures appear vulnerable to extreme hydrological events, whose potential occurrence …

Abstract The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is a popular numerical method to predict the
macroscopic behavior of granular flows. However, systems containing a considerable …

Lateral intakes are hydraulic structures used for domestic, agricultural and industrial water
conveyance, characterized by a very complex three-dimensional morphodynamic behavior …

Calibration of parameters of mathematical models is still a tough task in several engineering
problems. Many of the models adopted for the numerical simulations of real phenomena, in …

Flow mass movements are catastrophic events occurring all over the world and may result in
a great number of casualties and widespread damages. The analysis of the time–space …

The construction of dike materials is an essential parameters in controlling the safety of
hydraulic engineering. The dike material is an earthfill material constructed from non …
