One of the major functions of geotextiles is to control soil erosion. Apparent opening size and permeability of non-woven geotextiles are properties that control erosion. In this manuscript, soil taken from an eroded pond is considered for the study. Filtration and clogging behavior of the several geotextiles are studied under laminar flow conditions and at three different hydraulic gradients. Results facilitate selecting the appropriate geotextile based on permeability, filtration and clogging for use as erosion control
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
