Item Open Access Capillary Water Behavior During Evaporation of Granular Media(2018) Yang, ShuIntense studies on evaporation in fluid systems have been conducted over the past decades, mainly on sessile droplets which are the simplest bodies to simulate. In this thesis, the evaporation process of a water bridge between two spherical grains is studied. A multi-physics approach is adopted focusing on the evaporation dynamics, the flow motion in liquid, the pressure distribution inside the water bridge, and the vapor behavior combined with the movement of free interface.
Item Open Access Experimental Study on Geomaterial’s Moisture Content Distribution and Deformation During Drying Process(2022) Wu, FeiKnowledge of the drying process of geomaterials is meaningful and helpful in the field of geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering. This experimental study focuses on drying tests on geomaterial samples with monitored surface moisture contents and controlled environmental conditions. Using the digital image correlation (DIC) method to analyze the sample’s displacement, the 3D displacement plots and volumetric strain maps are obtained after calculation. By combining the monitored moisture content with analyzed displacement and volumetric strain plots, the phenomenon and characteristics of a geomaterial’s drying process are discussed and concluded. This study offers a better understanding of the deformation of geomaterials during the drying process in 3D.
