[EN] We introduce a numerical method for incipient sediment transport past bedforms. The approach is based on the discrete element method (DEM) [1], simulating the micro-mechanics of the landform as an aggregate of rigid ...

The main objective of the present work is to develop and prove a theoretical explanation based on the
Extended Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics (ENETs) for the hysteretical thermoelectric behavior
observed in certain ...
