Strengthening and Armoring of Sheared Granular Beds

Abstract

The transport of grains by an overlying fluid flow is a fundamental physical process with broad applications in geomorphology, climate science, agriculture, and many other fields. Thus, the ability to predict and control the erosion of granular beds can be used to promote or mitigate erosion, often with significant economic and humanitarian impacts. In the case of hydraulic intake facilities, erosion may be favorable by allowing the removal of collected sediments.
