This study investigates how the deposit body influences friction characteristics by altering local flow fields, which is closely related to bed shear stress. Using generalized flume experiments, the study assesses the applicability of…
When a high symmetry facet joins the rounded part of a crystal, the step line density vanishes as sqrt(r) with r denoting the distance from the facet edge. This means that the ledge bordering the facet has a lot of space to meander as…
