Estimation of hydraulic anisotropy of unconsolidated granular packs using finite element methods

The effect of particle shape and heterogeneity on hydraulic anisotropy of unconsolidated granular packs is hereby investigated. Direct simulation was carried out on synthetically generated spherical, aspherical, ellipsoidal (aspect ratio of 2 and 3) and lenticular samples. Single phase Stokes equati...
