Abstract: AbstractCapillarity and adsorption are the two physical mechanisms responsible for matric suction, and thus they determine soil’s hydrologic and mechanical properties under saturated and unsaturated conditions. Adsorption ...

Abstract: AbstractPore water pressure serves as a cornerstone for controlling various soil behaviors. In soils, both capillarity and adsorption contribute to pore water pressure. Capillarity exists in large soil pores when soil is ...

Abstract: AbstractThe vapor sorption isotherm (VSI) can be employed not only for characterizing the soil properties but also for describing the seepage and deformation phenomena within soils. The adsorption and desorption VSIs of ...

Abstract: Abstract. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy in oilfield power systems, fluctuations in operating temperature render pipeline operation below the critical wall sticking temperature (CWST) increasingly ...
