Correction to ‘‘Fracture intersections as integrators for unsaturated flow’’
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] In the paper ‘‘Fracture intersections as integrators for unsaturated flow’’ by Thomas R. Wood, Michael J. Nicholl, and Robert J. Glass (Geophys. Res. Lett., 29(24), 2191, 10.1029/2002GL015551, 2002) an error appears in paragraph [3] in the third sentence. The corrected sentence follows: At low flow, pulsed flow in the upper fracture was integrated by the intersection, and released into the lower fracture as less frequent pulses of larger volume. GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, VOL. 30, NO. 7, 1350, doi:10.1029/2003GL016904, 2003

Unsaturated flow through fracture networks: Evolution of liquid phase structure, dynamics, and the critical importance of fracture intersections
[1] Experiments and analyses are presented to elucidate the critical control of fracture intersections on the evolution and dynamics of the liquid phase structure within unsaturated fracture networks in impermeable media. Phase structure was visualized within a thick vertical sheet of broken glass where the breaks constituted the fracture network. The critical system parameters, applied flow ra...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Impact of user’s Violations on the Saturation Flow Rate at Signalized Intersections
Accurate estimation of saturation flow rate is a prerequisite for accurate estimation of level of service and delays of signalized intersections. Saturation flow rate of intersections depends on many factors, including traffic behavior and culture. One of the important problems of traffic behavior in Iran is the violation of law at the physical region of intersections. The main purpose of this ...
متن کاملRelationship between Pedestrians’ Speed, Density and Flow Rate of Crossings through Urban Intersections (Case Study: Rasht Metropolis) (RESEARCH NOTE)
Travels within the city are done in different ways, by vehicle or on foot. Thus, inevitably, a part of the travel is always done on foot. Since intersections as traffic nodes are determinant factor in transportation network capacity, any disruption in them leads to severe reduction in network capacity. Unfortunately, pedestrian behavior has received little attention in Iran. While this is a ver...

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 کاملAn analytical solution for transient radial flow through unsaturated fractured porous media
[1] This paper presents analytical solutions for one-dimensional radial transient flow through a horizontal, unsaturated fractured rock formation. In these solutions, unsaturated flow through fractured media is described by a linearized Richards’ equation, while fracture-matrix interaction is handled using the dual-continuum concept. Although linearizing Richards’ equation requires a specially ...
