Flow Focusing in Unsaturated Fracture Networks: A Numerical Investigation
and become focused. The focused unsaturated flow will increase relative permeability of its path, and cause flow A numerical modeling study is presented to investigate flow– further focusing. Focused flow paths exist in the unsatufocusing phenomena in a large-scale fracture network, constructed rated rock of the Yucca Mountain site. For example, using field data collected from the unsaturated z...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Droplet Generation Process in a Microfluidic Flow Focusing
Microfluidic flow focusing devices have been utilized for droplet generation on account of its superior control over droplet size. Droplet based microfluidics addressed many scientific issues by providing a novel technological platform for applications such as biology, pharmaceutical industry, biomedical studies and drug delivery. This study numerically investigated the droplet generation proce...
متن کاملAn investigation into a Geocell-reinforced Slope in The Unsaturated Numerical Model
Considering unsaturation conditions of soil significantly helps to produce relatively real results. Numerical methods have been assumed as conventional methods in soil mechanics to examine soil behavior. However, the accuracy of numerical methods dramatically depends on applying the appropriate behavioral model to solve problems. One of the known elastoplastic models for unsaturated soils i...

20 d), and order of magnitude variations in infiltration rates under constant head boundary conditions. These Simulations of flow and transport in variably saturated fractured behaviors are difficult to reproduce with continuumrock generally assume equilibrium conditions between the fractures and the porous matrix, leading to predictions that are dominated by based conceptual models and have be...
متن کاملNumerical Model for Saturated-Unsaturated Flow in Deformable Porous Media
An integrated finite difference algorithm is presented for numerically solving the governing equation of saturated-unsaturated flow in deformable porous media. In recognition that stability of the explicit equation is a local phenomenon a mixed explicit-implicit procedure is used for marching in the time domain. In this scheme the explicit changes in potential are first computed for all element...
