Mechanism of loess planar erosion and numerical simulation based on CFD–DEM coupling model
ENVIRONMENTAL EARTH SCIENCES(2023)
摘要
Planar erosion is an important mode of soil erosion, which occurs in the process of loess slope erosion, gully erosion, and cave erosion. It is of great significance to understand the characteristics and mechanism of planar erosion to reveal the mechanism of loess erosion and the prevention and treatment of soil and water loss. In this paper, a series of loess planar erosion tests have been carried out through self-developed large-scale loess scour instrument. The erosion process and stage characteristics of subsurface erosion under different conditions have been analyzed and summarized, and the internal mechanism of the loess planar erosion process in different erosion characteristic stages has been revealed. Furthermore, based on the special "core (powder) + coat" microstructure characteristics of loess, a numerical model of inter particle linkage was established to characterize the characteristics of loess microstructure and anti-erosion properties. The numerical simulation results carried out based on the numerical model of inter particle linkage established in this paper are in good agreement with the main results of the physical simulation of planar erosion. The results all show that the loess planar erosion at the scale of large test blocks can be divided into three characteristic stages: uniform planar erosion stage, micro gully erosion stage, and collapse failure stage. This indicates that the fluid–solid coupling simulation method of CFD–DEM proposed in this paper has high simulation accuracy and has great application potential in the research and application of loess erosion. This provides a new and feasible idea for the study of loess slope erosion and hydraulic loss control on the Loess Plateau, which is worthy of further promotion.
