Particle-scale study on backward erosion of multilayer erodible medium under converging flow: experimental tests and numerical modelling
Leakage at the bottom of an underground structure can compel ground water to form a converging flow, under which soil erosion may occur, thereby threatening the safety of the structure. Previous studies have shown that converging flow may induce backward erosion, and unravelling the mechanism behind this type of erosion was pivotal to mitigating disasters in practical engineering. Existing studies on this topic have been limited to monolayer erodible medium, while the mechanism behind the backward erosion of a multilayer erodible medium under converging flow remains unclear. In this study, both experimental tests and numerical simulations based on the validated computational fluid dynamics and the discrete element coupling method (CFD–DEM) were conducted to investigate the backward erosion of a multilayer sample under converging flow. The results demonstrated that the multilayer sample was eroded layer-by-layer, whereby residual layers could be observed at the bottom of the sample. The eroded regions in different layers were similar in shape but smaller in size for lower layers. In addition, particle exchange occurred among different layers during the erosion process. In general, lower-layer particles could directly ascend to upper layers in the eroded regions, whereas upper-layer particles mainly settled on the periphery of the eroded regions.
期刊介绍:
Acta Geotechnica is an international journal devoted to the publication and dissemination of basic and applied research in geoengineering – an interdisciplinary field dealing with geomaterials such as soils and rocks. Coverage emphasizes the interplay between geomechanical models and their engineering applications. The journal presents original research papers on fundamental concepts in geomechanics and their novel applications in geoengineering based on experimental, analytical and/or numerical approaches. The main purpose of the journal is to foster understanding of the fundamental mechanisms behind the phenomena and processes in geomaterials, from kilometer-scale problems as they occur in geoscience, and down to the nano-scale, with their potential impact on geoengineering. The journal strives to report and archive progress in the field in a timely manner, presenting research papers, review articles, short notes and letters to the editors.
