Abstract Knowledge of the behavior of highly compacted expansive clays, as an engineered
barrier, in disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) systems to prevent the pollution due to …

The morphological characterization of aggregates or agglomerates using image analysis is
an increasingly active area of research, whether in the chemical, environmental or civil …

A review of the applications of fractal theory in modern manufacturing is presented in this
chapter. A brief conceptual foundation, typical examples, and methods of computing fractals …

In this study, the nonlocal fractal neutrons transport equation in fractal dimensions (α, β) is
constructed based on the concepts of fractal derivative and a spatially symmetric kernel …

A method for the simulation of aggregation and breakup processes in colloidal particle
suspensions is presented. The method combines a Monte Carlo algorithm to determine, on …

The main goal of this paper is to propose a method for the 3D morphological
characterization of compact aggregates using 2D image analysis. The problem at hand is …

Cohesive sediment forms flocs of various sizes and structures in the natural turbulent
environment. Understanding flocculation is critical in accurately predicting sediment …

This paper aims to better understand the impact of process conditions on the morphological
properties of MBS (Methacrylate Butadiene Styrene) core-shell latex aggregates during an …

In this study, magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH) 2) suspensions were flocculated using two
polyacrylamide-poly (acrylic acid) copolymers with charge densities of 30% or 40 …

The impact of particle size distribution on flocculation and its growth in cement-ground
limestone suspensions was investigated by observing the flocculation states with a …
