How Air Entrapment in Hydrophobic Particle-Water-Air Mixtures Changes Post-Wildfire Mudflow Composition
Wenpei Ma, Ingrid Tomac
This paper shows critical new insights into how air entrapment affects the properties of rain-induced post-wildfire mudflows as a mixture of air bubbles, water, and hydrophobic san…
