Abstract: The motion of microparticles in a vertical flow channel driven by drag and thermophoretic forces was simulated using the direct numerical simulation method with the particles tracked using the Lagrangian method. The particle ...

Abstract: When modeling the seepage process in a variably saturated porous medium, it is crucial to properly characterize the effects of hydraulic hysteresis. In this paper, a theoretical model of two-phase flow in porous media is ...

Abstract: To exploit the resource of methane hydrate, it is crucial to understand the mechanical behavior of hydrate-bearing sediments. In this paper an elastoplastic constitutive model is developed for describing the mechanical ...

Abstract: The bearing performance of both vertically and horizontally reinforced composite foundation formed by horizontal reinforcement settled on top of granular piles, which can restrict the failure of granular piles, was studied. ...

Abstract: Based on experimental data and the flow property analysis of the drying-wetting process of fluids under a microscope, a theoretical model is developed to consider the effect of air entrapment in the soil-water retention ...

Abstract: When drying from a fully saturated state, soil transits from saturation to unsaturation, activating the effects of capillarity, adsorption, and osmosis. Traditionally, these effects have been elusive in modeling soil ...

Abstract: The bond–slip behavior of concrete pile–cemented soil interface is crucial for load transfer analysis of stiffened deep cement mixing piles, which is greatly influenced by ground temperature and age during long-term curing. ...
