This work combines core-flood experiments with X-ray μ-computed tomography (μ-CT) to investigate the swelling of clay minerals and its impact on permeability of unconsolidated …
Structural features of porous materials such as soil define the majority of its physical properties, including water infiltration and redistribution, multi-phase flow (eg simultaneous …
X-ray computed tomography is a common tool for non-destructive testing and analysis. One major application of this imaging technique is 3D porosity identification and quantification …
One of the current challenges in the study of recovering soil architecture is physically evaluating the internal soil structure in unconventional ways. The elaboration of consistent …

The transport and filtration behaviour of fine particles (silt) in columns packed with sand was investigated under saturated conditions by using step-input injections. Three samples of …
Salt marshes provide various ecosystem functions and services including flooding protection, wildlife habitats, and carbon storage. These functions and services could …
Clay minerals and silica are essential components of soil. Understanding the multi-scale structure of a simple model system formed of (negatively charged) beidellite clay …
