Abstract

Casson fluid flow has many practical applications such as food processing, metallurgy, drilling operations and bio-engineering operations. In this paper, we study Casson fluid flow through a plate with a convective boundary condition at the surface and quantify the effects of suction/injection, [...]

Abstract

Particle breakage plays an important role in rockfill mechanical behaviour. Under compression or shear, the crushing of particles modifies the grain size distribution and indirectly, the material permeability, their frictional properties and the corresponding critical state. In [...]

Abstract

Geometry is one of the main factors controlling the overall stability of levees, in addition to their hydraulic and mechanical characteristics, while in turn, their material strength strongly depends on their degree of saturation. Given that levees are usually partially saturated [...]
