A new shoreline instability triggered by high-angle waves and leading to sand wave formation is investigated. In contrast with the well-known high angle wave instability, which involves both the surf and shoaling zones and ...

This paper presents results of an experimental study on the effect of suction on the shear behaviour of sand/silt mixtures as determined with direct shear tests performed under suction control. The device used to perform ...

Castellà: El estudio de la producción de arena (rock sanding) en pozos petrolíferos ha sido objeto importante de investigación durante los últimos años debido al auge de las nuevas técnicas de producción: perforación con ...

Sand/bentonite mixtures are considered as buffer material in low and medium radioactive waste disposal schemes. While the bentonite provides low permeability and swelling capacity, the sand is intended to improve mechanical ...

We present a novel process-based morphodynamic model, which includes transport processes due to both velocity and acceleration skewness and a new formulation for intrawave motions, that successfully simulates observations ...

The Riera de Sant Miquel passing through the town of Banyeres de Penedès of arouses interest, but it is necessary to find solutions in order to increase biodiversity and continue to generate new services ecosystem by ...

The following paper surnmarizes results of CPT's performed in virtual calibration chamber (VCC) built with a 3D model based on the distinct element method (DEM). A discrete material tailored to mimic Ticino sand is tested ...
