QUICK SANDS EFFECT ON DESERT LANDS – EXAMPLE OF FILTRATION STABILITY LOSS
Open Access
|Feb 2014Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the loss of filtration stability of fine desert sands due to the air flow caused by temperature difference. The loss of stability induces the effect of so called “quick sands”. Therefore, the calculations of air filtration through the loose sand medium in dry desert climate are presented. FlexPDE v.6. software was used for numerical calculation based on FEM.
