Underground rock caverns have been considered as an effective technique for oil storage,
commonly with water curtains for maintaining a desired and stable groundwater level and …

Based on a simulation of three-dimensional fracture networks and a superposition principle
of liquid dissipation energy for fractured rock masses, a model of the fracture permeability …

In order to efficiently and reasonably determine the permeability coefficient of engineering
rock mass, the two key problems of complex seepage field simulation and objective function …

A coupled non-linear elastic deformation and non-steady seepage flow model was
established for performance assessment of the concrete-faced rockfill (CFR) dams. The …

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 parabolic variational inequality (PVI) formulation is presented for the transient free surface
seepage problem defined for a whole fracture network. Because the seepage faces are …

The Xiluodu arch dam is one of the highest dams in the world. A noticeable leakage having
a maximum rate of 192 L/s and accounting for 46∼ 75% of the total discharge at the site has …

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 …

In this paper, an equivalent line element method is established to analyze seepage
problems with free surface through two-dimensional rock mass, including fracture networks …
