| description abstract | The application of geotechnical centrifuge modeling to environmental problems seems promising. In this paper, one aspect of similitude laws concerning the flow of water through soils is investigated. Within the Network of European Centrifuges for Environmental Geotechnic Research, several tests have been carried out to study similitude laws describing the capillary ascension in porous media at different levels of acceleration. The aim of this paper is to present the results obtained at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. A fine sand is used in the experiment. For the visualization of capillary height in the soil sample, image processing is used. Different boundary conditions (constant or variable water level) have been investigated and discussed. All these experiments confirm that capillary rise appears scaled by the factor | |
