Modelling erosion of a single rock block using a coupled CFD-DEM approach

Modelling erosion of a single rock block using a coupled CFD-DEM approach

Rock block removal is the prevalent physical mechanism for rock erosion and could affect the stability of dam foundations and spillways. Despite this, understanding of block removal is still inadequate because of the complex interactions among block characteristics, hydraulic forces, and erosive pro...
