Debris flows are among the most catastrophic natural phenomena, attracting the interest of
researchers, engineers and government agencies. The complexity of the physical process …

Groundwater flow through fractured rocks has been recognized as an important issue in
many geotechnical engineering practices. Several key aspects of fundamental mechanisms …

This study investigates the nonlinear behavior of flow passing through 28 crack
topographies in concrete at various pressure gradients using water permeability test …

Understanding fluid flow in rock fractures is relevant to many engineering applications,
including underground nuclear waste disposition, oil and gas exploitation, dam and slope …

Sintered materials are used as permeable filters and flow controllers, for which a validated
and general model of porosity and permeability is required. Here, we prepare samples built …

Fluid flow through filled rock fractures is relevant to numerous engineering applications and
geophysical processes. However, a proper understanding of the flow behaviors in filled …

This study experimentally and numerically investigated the influence of the inertial effect of
fluid flow on the non-Darcy coefficient (β). The results showed that the non-Darcy coefficient …

Previous studies pointed out that the hydraulic aperture (bh) is solely dependent on the
geometric features of a fracture, independent of fluid inertia effects. Here we present an …

The groundwater flow in karst aquifers is prone to become non-Darcian due to the presence
of karst conduits, and this effect may become more pronounced during tunnel construction …

Water inflow into a tunnel is usually estimated by assuming that the flow follows the linear
Darcy's law. However, fluid flow in fractured-rock aquifers is prone to deviation from Darcy's …
