Distinct element geomechanical modelling of the formation of sinkhole clusters within large-scale karstic depressions
<p>The 2-D distinct element method (DEM) code (PFC2D_V5) is used here to simulate the evolution of subsidence-related karst landforms, such as single and clustered sinkholes, and associated larger-scale depressions. Subsurface material in the DEM model is removed progressively to produce an ar...
