| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Direct observation methods for the seepage flow and the soil particles were developed in order to deeply understand the mechanisms of the internal erosion of geo-materials. The experimental technique, which is based on the RIMS (Refractive Index Matching Scanning), was developed, and it was found that the two dimensional velocities of the seepage flow inside the soil matrix can be directly obtained from the image analysis. In addition, the 3-D direct numerical simulation method, which is based on the coupled particle-fluid model, was also developed and was improved by comparing with experimental results.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
深刻な地盤災害の引き金となる内部侵食を土粒子とその間隙のスケールで可視化して把握できる方法を確立すれば，その発生・進行メカニズムへの理解を深めることが期待できる．本研究で得られた結果は，内部侵食を微視スケールで摩擦・衝突・流体などが複雑に絡み合ったマルチフィジックス現象として捉えた，新しい切り口を与えるものであると考えられる．
