Abstract: Dredging is the relocation of soil. Before the soil can be transported, it has to be loosened. This can be done hydraulically (jetting) or mechanically (cutting). Often, water jets are used to erode the soil layer. Over ...

Abstract: This paper presents large eddy simulations (LES) and experimental results of buoyant jets in cross-flow (JICF). Mixing behavior of buoyant JICF is governed by the velocity ratio (

Abstract: This paper addresses the sediment pick-up process in the high-velocity range of 2–6  m/s. An existing sediment pick-up function was recalibrated and modified using data of new experiments in a closed pipeline circuit with ...

Abstract: Hydraulic two-phase transport applied in the dredging, mining, and deep-sea mining industries involves the transportation of sand, gravel, polymetallic nodules, or other particulate tailings as a solids phase and water as ...
