Flow-structure interaction has raised significant attention among geotechnical community
because it is important for prevention of high-speed flowing geo-disasters. Physical …

The impact behavior of superspeed granular flows is not sufficiently understood, although it
is the basis for establishing an impact model, which is important in barrier design. Centrifuge …

The use of the geotechnical centrifuge to obtain scaled physical models is a useful tool in
geomechanics. When dealing with granular flows, however, the traditional scaling principles …

We investigate the dynamics of granular flows under the action of a centrifugal acceleration
field. The granular flows consist of a monodisperse set of glass beads flowing down an …

Centrifuge modeling allows granular flows to be simulated under stresses characteristic of
full-scale flows, while maintaining repeatability. However, the impact of the Coriolis effect on …

The Coriolis effect in centrifuge modeling of flow–structure interaction has not been well
understood, and thus this paper presents numerical simulations to address this issue. The …

Coriolis effects, encompassing the dilative, compressive, and deflective manifestations,
constitute pivotal considerations in the centrifugal modelling of high-speed granular run-out …

Compaction is probably the industrial process more intensively used in road construction.
The current compaction practice is based on the useful methodology proposed by Proctor …

Submarine mudflow is one of the most serious geohazards. A new Mini-drum Centrifuge
apparatus was developed for use. A series of experiments were performed to investigate the …

Natural mass flows are among the most dangerous geo-hazards in mountain regions. These
mass flows are studied in experimental models in a wide range of model dimensions and …
