Two and three-dimensional slope stability reanalyses of Bukit Batok slope by Leong, Eng Choon, Rahardjo, Harianto

“…The 2D and 3D slope stability analyses on the slope that failed in 1989 showed that the average shear strength parameters of the residual soils are representative of the slope and the factors of safety obtained from 2D slope stability analyses are not necessarily more conservative than 3D slope stability analyses. …”

Microfiltration performance with two-phase flow by Qian, Guanglei, Zhou, Jiti, Zhang, Jinsong, Chen, Congcong, Jin, Ruofei, Liu, Wantao

“…The results showed that the effluent quality was better than the supernatant under the same gas flowrate, while membrane fouling was effectively mitigated by increasing gas flowrate due to the shear force generated by two-phase flow. In addition, the critical flux was observed to have a positive correlation with gas flowrate, which fitted well with the inertial lift model. …”
