Evaluating critical hydrodynamic characteristics of rill formation on saturated soil slopes by Dandan Li, Xiaoyan Chen, Pingzong Zhu, Wenhao Tan, Tingting Tao, Liwen Ma, Lingyong Kong

“…Stepwise regression analysis revealed that the erosion rate under critical hydrodynamic conditions of rill formation could be well predicted by τc (R2 = 0.83) with the linear model. The results provide an accurate model for evaluating critical conditions of rill formation and a basis for further understanding the intrinsic dynamic mechanism of rill formation on saturated soil slopes.…”
