Background: It is essential for residents to understand ground disaster and improve disaster prevention awareness, because natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. In this study, nondestructive unsaturated seepage behavior was continuously visualized by using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) with test equipment constructed of non-metal parts. Additionally, the water content o...

Quantifying groundwater flow at seepage faces is crucial because seepage faces influence the hydroecology and water budgets of watersheds, lakes, rivers and oceans, and because measuring groundwater fluxes directly in aquifers is extremely difficult. Seepage faces provide a direct and measurable groundwater flux but there is no existing method to quantitatively image groundwater processes at th...

Deeply buried groundwater, such as brine, is an important industrial raw material with high economic value. Because brine frequently exists under higher temperature and pressure, the quantitative prediction of its seepage field is very difficult. Here we study the migration of deeply buried groundwater by using a numerical simulation based on laboratory test results. In particular, we express t...

piping sometimes is occurred due to seepage of water in hydraulic structures. the continuty of this phenomenon decreases the safety or caused the failure of a structure. in this work, experimental tests were carried out on statically compacted natural and randomly reinforced silt sandy soil samples. the randomly reinforced samples were prepared with different lengths and percentages of an artif...

Rainfall infiltration exerts great effect on the stability of soil slopes. Based on the actual rainfall data, saturated-unsaturated seepage theory and the mechanical theory of unsaturated porous media, numerical simulations were conducted to examine the seepage field of saturatedunsaturated slope during rainfall infiltration in this paper. The influence of the coefficient with rainfall duration...

estimation of seepage from water channels are necessary in evaluating water productivity in agricultural sector as affected by floodwater spreading on plains and artificial recharge of groundwater. several empirical seepage equations have been developed for this purpose. previous research results in iran have shown lots of variation in the coefficients and the empirical equations change in diff...

Relief wells are used extensively to relieve excess hydrostatic pressure in pervious foundation strata overlain by impervious top strata, conditions which often exist landward of levees and downstream of dams and hydraulic structures. Placing well outlets in below-surface trenches or collector pipes helps dry up seepage areas downstream of levees and dams. Relief wells are often used in combina...

Due to the peculiarity of spring domain strata in Jinan, phenomenon serious water seepage appears process excavation. The macro permeability soil is closely correlated with its microstructure. In this study, using X-ray micro-tomography (micro-CT) system and a self-designed device, internal pore structure Jinan red clay flow inside sample under different stages were observed. microstructure pha...

Due to the existence of pores in fracture surface, permeability pore-fracture media is more complicated, and its law mechanism are worthy an in-depth study. The rough surface this paper obtained by 3D laser scanning technology, taken a small part middle area carry out finite element simulation single seepage, studied distribution flow velocity fields nonlinear characteristics changing inlet rat...
