Strengthening and Armoring of Sheared Granular Beds

Abstract

Major Goals: Develop a physical understanding of shear-driven granular beds that will enable us to control the resilience of granular beds to erosion from overlying fluid flows. Understand the interplay between geometric strengthening and segregation (or armoring), including their relative strength in different parameter regimes. Leverage this understanding to design protocols to precisely predict and control the strength of granular beds.
