    ABSTRACT Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a significant contributor to failures in global flood protection infrastructure, yet it remains among the least understood geotechnical phenomena, particularly concerning the fundamental mechanisms driving its initiation. This study focuses on the development of a novel stochastic framework for the prediction of critical hydraulic gradients causing BEP initiation. The novelty of the study lies in the following: (1) the development of a grain‐scale probabilistic model based on fundamental mechanisms by means of the theory of rate processes, (2) quantification of the influence of soil variability on BEP initiation probability by introducing an initiation probability function, and (3) an analytical framework reconciling grain kinetics of BEP initiation with the Weibull distribution. A particle‐scale BEP initiation probabilistic model is first established based on fundamental grain kinetics under seepage flow by using the theory of rate processes. To investigate how soil variability influences initiation, a stochastic dual random lattice modeling framework is exercised, complemented by direct x‐ray computed tomography measurements of soil variability conducted on sand samples. The analytical probabilistic model for BEP initiation closely aligns with the Weibull distribution, also demonstrating that soil variability influences both the scale and shape parameters of the distribution. This work establishes the linkage between probability of BEP initiation as described by the theory of rate processes and phenomenological Weibull statistics. Findings presented herein bring the potential to develop a multiscale probabilistic framework by means of Weibull statistics for evaluating the probability of BEP initiation at multiple scales.

    Abstract The versatile Bell-Evans-Polanyi (BEP) relation stipulates the kinetics of a reaction in terms of thermodynamics. Herein, we establish the BEP relation for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from fundamental electrochemical principles leveraging the Butler-Volmer relation for a one-step, one-electron process and the transition state theory. Based on first-principles investigations of HER mechanisms on fourteen metal electrodes, we firmly justify the BEP relation solely using an easy-to compute hydrogen adsorption free energy and universal electrochemical constants.

    Abstract The multilayer urban canopy models (UCMs) building effect parameterization (BEP) and BEP + building energy model (BEM; a building energy model integrated in BEP) are added to the Yonsei University (YSU) planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. The additions allow for the first analysis of the detailed effects of buildings on the urban boundary layer in a nonlocal closure scheme. The modified YSU PBL parameterization is compared with the other 1.5-order local PBL parameterizations that predict turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), Mellor–Yamada–Janjić and Bougeault–Lacarerre, using both ideal and real cases. The ideal-case evaluation confirms that BEP and BEP+BEM produce the expected results in the YSU PBL parameterization because the simulations are qualitatively similar to the TKE-based PBL parameterizations in which the multilayer UCMs have long existed. The modified YSU PBL parameterization is further evaluated for a real case. Similar to the ideal case, there are larger differences among the different UCMs (simple bulk scheme, BEP, and BEP+BEM) than across the PBL parameterizations when the UCM is held fixed. Based on evaluation against urban near-surface wind and temperature observations for this case, the BEP and BEP+BEM simulations are superior to the simple bulk scheme for each PBL parameterization.

    ABSTRACT Backward erosion piping (BEP) is a leading internal erosion mechanism for flood protection system failures. A model capable of predicting critical hydraulic conditions for BEP initiation at multiple scales while also incorporating soil variability is a pressing need. This study formulates and validates a novel multiscale probabilistic BEP initiation framework with incorporation of soil variability. The framework is based on a grain‐scale probabilistic model and the weakest link theory, and the theory of rate processes. The multiscale framework proposed herein is validated through a wide range of available experimental data from independent sources, encompassing tests performed at multiple scales. Following calibration with small‐scale experimental data, the model demonstrates accurate prediction of critical hydraulic gradients at larger scales (3–6 orders of magnitude difference), including the ability to capture the grain size dependence of BEP initiation and providing uncertainty estimates. A systematic analysis is performed to uncover the effects of different soil properties on multiscale critical hydraulic conditions.

    Abstract Taking the examples of Hurricane Florence (2018) over the Carolinas and Hurricane Harvey (2017) over the Texas Gulf Coast, the study attempts to understand the performance of slab, single‐layer Urban Canopy Model (UCM), and Building Environment Parameterization (BEP) in simulating hurricane rainfall using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The WRF model simulations showed that for an intense, large‐scale event such as a hurricane, the model quantitative precipitation forecast over the urban domain was sensitive to the model urban physics. The spatial and temporal verification using the modified Kling‐Gupta efficiency and Method for Object based Diagnostic and Evaluation in Time Domain suggests that UCM performance is superior to the BEP scheme. Additionally, using the BEP urban physics scheme over UCM for landfalling hurricane rainfall simulations has helped simulate heavy rainfall hotspots.
