Deepwater lobes constitute a significant volume of submarine fans and are primarily believed to exhibit simple sheet geometry. However, recent studies interpret the geometries these deep-marine as distinct with respect complexity facies their distribution. Hence, conceptual model sediments is essential discuss associated fan lobe architecture. The present study highlights heterogeneity distribu...

Within the bed of Poozerie (Weichselian) ice sheet, which occupied northern part Belarus at maximum stage and beginning degradation, three concentric thermal zones were identified according to geological geomorphological criteria: outer zone basal frozen ice, discontinuous bed, inner thawed bed. Comparison glacial valleys with zoning shows that their distribution formation closely related condi...

We apply coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM) modeling tools with new numerical implementations of pebble fragmentation to study the combined effects of granular crushing and ensemble restructuring, granular fragment size, and initial packing for different breeder volume configurations. In typical solid breeder modules, heat removal from beds relies on main...
