Einat Aharonov: Understanding the physics of liquefaction from a coupled grain fluid model

Time and place: Aug. 23, 2019 12:15 PM–1:00 PM, Seminar room V414, Fysikkbygningen

Liquefaction is a serious earthquake hazard. Under shaking, naturally saturated granular media (soils, fault gouge) that usually supports shear stress like a solid, may start to flow like a fluid. This phenomena is not well understood nor predicted. Einat Aharonov will present a numerical study of such a system and explain some of the physics controlling it.
