Interpreting observations of seepage into underground openings is often complicated by evaporative potentials created by the necessity to ventilate the openings. Evaporation removes liquid from the seepage face. By doing so, it reduces both the likelihood of seepage onset and the seepage flux, and thus can enhance the perceived effectiveness of the capillary barrier. We modeled liquid-release t...

Abstract In this study, the SP, DC-Resistivity and DC-TDIP methods were used included 21 sites for determining groundwater conditions visualizing aquifer sediments, surface water seepage, flow in 2D 3D. The results indicated occurrence of Quaternary Tertiary deposits, as well shallow Eocene fractured limestone deposits. resistivity, chargeability SP values compared with each other 3D visualizat...

Hierarchical social networks appear in a variety of contexts, such as the on-line social network Twitter, the social organization of companies, and terrorist networks. We examine a dynamic model for the disruption of information flow in hierarchical social networks by considering the vertex-pursuit game Seepage played in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). In Seepage, agents attempt to block the mo...

Received: December 25, 2016 Revised: January 09, 2017 Accepted: March 07, 2017 Abstract: Introduction: Due to the fact that the model experiment can simulate the flow process and movement law of fluid during the seepage experiment, seepage model experiment was widely applied to study the hydraulic characteristics of rock-soil mass and transportation of ground water and pollutants. While due to ...

This study investigates percolation and seepage through the bunds of flat and terraced paddies. Field experiments were conducted in Hsin-Pu of Hsin-Chu County, Taiwan, to measure the soil water content of various types of bund. Measurements revealed that the soil was unsaturated along the sloped surface of the terrace. Experimental results also indicated that seepage face flow did not develop e...

Seepage meters were constructed to measure the influx of groundwater in Otsego Lake (Donnelly, 1999; after Lee, 1977). The meters were placed at the bottom of the lake to indicate the amount of water entering or leaving the lake through bottom sediments. Balloons attached to the meters were used to capture groundwater and samples were tested for chloride ion levels to ascertain whether it was g...

Evaporation estimates are often used in water balance calculations to determine seepage rates from feedyard holding ponds and lagoons. These estimates have been made using empirical equations derived for clear water, Class A Pan evaporation measurements using clear water, and rule-of-thumb estimates. However, feedyard effluent has different physical and chemical characteristics than clear water...

Fractured seepage is an important factor affecting the interface stability of rock mass. It is closely related to fracture properties and hydraulic conditions. In this study, the law of seepage in a single fracture surface based on modified cubic law is described, and the three-dimensional discrete element method is used to simulate the dam foundation structure of the Capulin San Pablo (Costa R...
