ABSTRACT A network model is implemented to study the transition of flow in porous media.
In this way, a real porous medium is simulated according to an orthogonal pipe network …

Based on the back analysis of equivalent continuum theory in frcatued media by Snow
(1969), an equivalent fracture network model is proposed to evaluate steady seepage …

A simple and physically sound model has been proposed to investigate the transient free
surface flow behavior in porous media. Instead of the continuum-based model, the pore …

The permeability of the host rock of the nuclear waste underground repository is one of the
most keys for estimating the potential risk for nuclide waste to escape. Therefore, a three …

Free surface flow analysis in porous media is challenging in many practical applications with
strong non-linearity. An equivalent pipe network model is proposed for the simulation and …

In order to reduce the numerical difficulty of the 3D transient free surface flow problems in
porous media, a line element method is proposed by dimension reduction. Different from the …

Considering the fact that only pores can transport water, pores in the homogeneous control
volume are conceptualized as a three-dimensional orthogonal network of line elements …

Contrary to the continuum hypothesis, which averages water flow across the entire domain,
including both grains and pores, the line-element model concentrates unsaturated flow in …

In this paper, a new matrix framework has been developed for the simulation of flow and
pressure in porous media. In this framework, the pressure gradient formulation in Darcy's …

This study experimentally investigates the effect of alkalinity on the transport of natural SiO 2
solid particle (SP) suspension injected instantaneously into a saturated porous medium …
