Grain-scale modeling of arbitrary fluid saturation in random packings
We propose a model for increasing liquid saturation in a granular packing, which can account for liquid redistribution at saturation …

Shear heating induced lithospheric-scale localization: Does it result in subduction?
Abstract Even though it is a well-established fact that the Earth is currently in a plate- tectonics mode, the question on how to …
