Effective Thermal Properties of Granular Porous Media: A Numerical Study using Lattice Blotzmann Methods
… of different fluids in the pore space along with partial saturation can also dictate the nature of the effective thermal properties. To study the effect of all these factors on the effective thermal conductivity of granular porous medium, we simulate heat conduction by developing a …

Predicting the impact of climate change on vernalization for Arabidopsis thaliana
… This thesis addresses the question of whether partial saturation of cold requirements might delay flowering under future climate scenarios. Laboratory experiments set up to parameterize a predictive model revealed a surprising optimal vernalizing temperature for the Swedish accession Lov-1. …

The anelastic structure and deep geology of the Derbyshire Dome from high frequency Rayleigh waves.
… within the Millstone Grit district. Fluid saturation conditions are inferred from the Qß1(2) models. On comparison with previous laboratory work values of Q1-ß which exhibit a possible frequency dependence imply partial saturation of the upper layers of the limestone district whilst field …

In Situ Compressional Wave Velocity Across An Exposed Brittle Fault Zone
… of macrofractures, frequency dispersion, and partial saturation. The velocity profile is similar in width and consistent in velocity contrast to low S-wave velocity zones derived from fault zone guided waves in other strike-slip faults. The traveltime delay across the fault zone is not large …

Soil-pipeline interaction in unsaturated soils
… are virtually the same. Thus, the effect of partial saturation on soil loading to pipeline may be different depending on soil type, moisture content and density. The current study investigates this problem through triaxial testing and constitutive modelling of the unsaturated soils used for …
