Data description:

  • The present work investigates the effect of both surface roughness and particle morphology on the retention behaviour of granular materials. To study this, X-ray micro-computed tomography tests were performed on two different sands (i.e. natural and roughened). Each sample was subjected to either drainage or soaking paths consisting in a multiphase ‘static’ flow of potassium iodine (KI) brine (wetting phase) and dry air (non-wetting phase). Tomograms were taken at different saturation states ranging from fully brine saturated to air dry conditions.
