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...

Part (I) of this study presented field and laboratory experimental data on soil characteristics and hydraulic parameters that are related to water infiltration in rice paddy fields. Part (II) includes a series of numerical simulations that are based on the in situ data, which three-dimensional finite element computer model for simulating density dependent flow and transport (FEMWATER) produced ...

By homogenization, the problem is turned into a two-scale problem consisting of a Da...

seepage analysis through earth dams is employed to determine the water loss. moreover, as the magnitude of pore pressure in dam body is calculated using seepage analysis, this analysis plays an important role on the stability analysis in these types of structures. as the hydraulic conductivity of the earth dam materials, is considered as one of the effective parameters on the magnitude of seepa...

This paper presents the results of a field investigation in the unsaturated, fractured welded tuff within the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF) at Yucca Mountain, NV. This investigation included a series of tests during which tracer-laced water was released into a high-permeability zone within a horizontal injection borehole. The tracer concentration was monitored in the seepage collected in a...
