| Abstract | Immersed granular materials such as river and seabed sediments and industrial slurries consist of small particles dispersed in a liquid. When these particles stick together, the bulk behavior of the slurry becomes highly complex. These cohesive effects determine whether a riverbed erodes, a coastal slope collapses, or an industrial process is successful. Despite its importance, predicting the bulk behavior of cohesive immersed grains is difficult. This project addresses the challenge of predicti |
