Unlike conventional oil and gas sources, natural gas hydrate (NGH) is stored in solid form
within the pores of loose submarine sediments. Production by any method poses a complex …

Abstract The Brazil Nut Effect is widely observed in both everyday life and industrial
processes. Although extensive research on segregation behaviour, the resulting changes in …

The hydraulic performance of pervious pavement systems (PCPS) depends on the hydraulic
interaction between the layers that compose them, considering both permeability and the …

Water transport in the unsaturated zone results from nonlinear relationships between soil
moisture state, suction gradients, and conductivity, leading to complex flow processes. This …

Unsaturated shear strength (τ us) is a critical parameter in many geotechnical engineering
designs, including embankment stability assessments and slope antiskid design. This paper …

Appropriate capillary effects are beneficial for controlling the wet powder performance and
agglomerate formation. As water content rises, the funicular regime supplants the pendular …

Based upon the lattice Boltzmann method, the current paper developed a visual simulation
method for the evolution of porous structure during the acid leaching process. The reliability …

The two-phase seepage fluid (ie, air and water) behaviors in undisturbed granite residual
soil (U-GRS) have not been comprehensively studied due to a lack of accurate and …

The effectiveness of crop irrigation via sprinkler systems could be improved by
environmental variability inherent to field conditions, thus leading to the sub-optimal …

The hydraulic performance of pervious pavement systems (PCPS) depends on the hydraulic
interaction between the layers that compose them, considering both permeability and the …
