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

Recently, the rapid increase in tunnel construction in karst areas across China has attracted
considerable attention. However, frequently occurring groundwater inrush hazards induced …

The influence of roughness, aperture and asperity irregularity on fluid flow regimes in rough
rock fractures was investigated by performing coupled triaxial water flow tests and fluid …

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 …

The groundwater drawdown caused by tunnel excavation can change the hydrogeological
flow system in karst areas. However, how to overcome the heterogeneity in karst aquifers …

For the grouted and lined subsea tunnels, the fluid in the low permeability media follows non-
Darcy's law rather than Darcy's law. To address this, we provide analytical solutions for the …

Anthropogenic disturbance of karst groundwater systems by large-scale underground
engineering activities is an important topic but is difficult to address due to the compound …

The impact of fluid inertia on fracture flow dynamics, particularly under high-velocity
conditions, has emerged as a critical consideration in petroleum engineering and related …

Accurate and effective identification of adverse geology is crucial for safe and efficient tunnel
construction. Current methods of identifying adverse geology depend on the experience of …

The friction factor plays a crucial role in evaluating pressure gradient loss for water flow
through fracture-matrix systems (FMS). This study presents a theoretical model for the FMS …
