Sediment creep triggered by porous flow
arXiv:1910.02652 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevFluids.6.L012301
Abstract
Quasi-2D experiments of a submerged sediment layer creeping downward were performed, varying the channel tilt and a porous flow under the respective thresholds for yielding. Logarithmic decay rates of the deformation are observed, with the rate increasing with both control parameters. A new dimensionless parameter, , accounting for both mean porous flow and gravity force effects on particle motion, allows a collapse of all the deformation results on a single curve. Two distinct creep regimes are identified, and correspond to a systematic change of the void size distribution as increases.
