Modeling of piping erosion in loess soils
Extended abstract Introduction Piping erosion is one of the common water erosions usually occurs in soil with low infiltration and soluble minerals that finally changes landscape. Different factors control its occurrence and development. To predict piping occurrence/hazard through modeling, effective factors should be prioritized and considered as inputs of the model. The present study...
متن کاملNumerical computation of seepage erosion below dams (piping)
In delta areas the land is protected from floods and high tides by dikes. In general these are constructed of impervious clays and built on a sandy aquifer as subsoil. Such structures are vulnerable to an erosion effect called piping. The actual word 'piping' refers to the development of shallow channels in the sand below the dike, which begins at the downstream side of the structure. Here ofte...
متن کاملPressurized Dual Mechanical Seals Supporting Piping Plan Developments
The American Petroleum Institute recognizes four auxiliary piping plans for supporting pressurized dual wet mechanical seals. There is limited published information guidance as to which plan will offer the most suitable solution for any particular application. Recent work within the mechanical seal industry has led to an enhanced understanding of operational issues. This paper is intended to fi...
متن کاملNumerical modelling of concentrated leak erosion during Hole Erosion Tests
This study focuses on the numerical modelling of concentrated leak erosion of a cohesive soil by a turbulent flow in axisymmetrical geometry, with application to the Hole Erosion Test (HET). The numerical model is based on adaptive remeshing of the water/soil interface to ensure accurate description of the mechanical phenomena occurring near the soil/water interface. The erosion law governing t...
متن کاملCorrelation impact in piping erosion for safety assessment of multi-functional flood defences
Introduction Adaptation to climate change is one of the main concerns for cities in deltaic areas. For a country such as the Netherlands where two thirds of the land are located under sea level, reliability of the flood defence system is a top priority. Flood defences are exposed to different deterioration processes (also known as failure mechanisms) which might compromise the water retaining c...
