Abstract A hydro‐mechanical continuous model that accounts for volumetric internal erosion (otherwise called suffusion) is developed based on experimental observations and data to fill the gap between laboratory testing field applications. The proposed mixture theory applied a two‐phase four‐species porous medium. erodible soil partitioned in two phases: one solid phase fluid phase. composed of...

Isolated internal iliac aneurysms are rare. Unless rupture occurs, they usually remain asymptomatic. In this paper, a patient with a ruptured internal iliac aneurysm that resulted in chronic stage hematoma causing lumbosacral plexopathy and erosion of the pelvic bony structures is presented, along with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) findings. To expedite the diagn...

[1] This paper employs a circularity function to quantify the internal morphology of Martian watershed basins in Margaritifer Sinus region and to infer the primary erosional processes that led to their current geomorphologic characteristics and possible climatic conditions under which these processes operated. The circularity function describes the elongation of a watershed basin at different e...

Haemothorax is an uncommon and serious complication, occurring most often during or immediately after percutaneous internal jugular and subclavian vein catheterizations. Delayed haemothorax is a rare complication, especially following right-sided catheterization. We report a case of acute yellow phosphorus poisoning with acute liver failure (resulting from rat killer paste ingestion) in a 28-ye...

Visual simulation of natural erosion on terrains with granular matter, like sand, soil or gravel has been a fascinating research topic in the field of computer graphics for a long time. Ability of a fluid to drastically change internal structure or external shape of terrain is an important effect in nature. While there are many particle based algorithms to improve process of terrain erosion, on...

In this paper we present a new local remeshing algorithm that is dedicated to the problem of erosion in finite elementmodels whose grid follows themovement of the free surface. Themethod, which we name Surface Lagrangian Remeshing (SLR), is adapted to 2D Lagrangian models which couple surface erosion with deformation of Earth materials. The remeshing procedure preserves nodes defining the surfa...
