Dispersive wave propagation in disordered flexible fibers enhances stress attenuation
Peng Wang, Thomas Pähtz, Kun Luo +1
We experimentally and computationally analyze impact-shock-induced stress wave propagation in packings of disordered flexible fibers. We find that dispersive wave propagation, asso…
The role of coherent airflow structures on the incipient aeolian entrainment of coarse particles
Xiao-Hu Zhao, Manousos Valyrakis, Thomas Pähtz +1
The role of coherent airflow structures capable of setting gravel-size particles in motion is studied theoretically and experimentally. Specifically, a micromechanical model based…
Addressing bedload flux variability due to grain shape effects and experimental channel geometry
Thomas Pähtz, Yulan Chen, Jiafeng Xie +8
The study-to-study variability of bedload flux measurements in turbulent sediment transport borders an order of magnitude, even for idealized laboratory conditions. This uncertaint…
