Groundwater flow in low matrix-permeability carbonate rocks is largely controlled by fracture
networks. The stratigraphic features that control fracture initiation and termination within a …

Complex fluid behavior in unsaturated fracture and fracture networks, such as film flow, the
migration, fragmentation, and coalescence of droplets, and rivulet flow with or without …

Liquid splitting behavior at fracture intersections is an important process affecting
unsaturated flow in fractured rocks. The role of inertia in liquid splitting at a fracture …

Understanding the macro‐scale flow characteristics in the fractured vadose zone is of great
importance for subsurface hydrological and environmental applications. Here we develop …

A fundamental understanding of the fluid movement and dynamic partitioning process at
fracture intersections is important to accurately predict water infiltration and contaminant …

In this work, we study gravity‐driven flow of water in the presence of air on a synthetic
surface intersected by a horizontal fracture and investigate the importance of droplet and …

Understanding the mechanisms of liquid movement through fracture intersections is
important for prediction of fluid flow and solute transport in unsaturated fractured media …

Fractures are both rough and irregular but can be expressed by a simple model concept of
two smooth parallel plates and the associated cubic law governing discharge through …

With the increasing requirement of international energy security, oil storage projects have
been constructed in large numbers, but leaking petroleum-based contaminants are …

Understanding unsaturated flow behaviors in fractured rocks is essential for various
applications. A fundamental process in this regard is flow splitting at fracture intersections …
