On stability of MHD flows located on the surface of axisymmetric torus

The erosion process of a cohesive sediment after consolidation was studied experimentally in a closed conduit system.The test samples investigated in this study are mixtures of sand and clay with variable compositions and different consolidation times.The main concern of this study is the effects of the dry density of the consolidated sediment on scour rate.A scour rate formula is derived and further interpreted based on the experimental results.
