Abstract: In dredging practice sand is eroded at very high flow velocities using water jets. Breaching of dikes or dams is another process where sediments are eroded under the influence of high flow velocities. The existing pick-up ...

Abstract: The influence of seepage on the stability of a sandy slope is investigated. Two failure modes that influence the slope stability can be distinguished. A `continuum' mode if an outward flow is present and a `single particle' ...

Abstract: There is limited knowledge on the erosion rates of large grains. The available erosion models of granular material at large flow velocities are only validated up to a median particle diameter (d50) of 1.5 mm. To ...
