Effective Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity
Steady-state and transient one-dimensional unsaturated flow in vertically stratified porous media are examined. Saturated hydraulic conductivity and the alpha parameter of the exponential hydraulic conductivity function were assumed to vary from soil layer to soil layer. The use of effective unsaturated hydraulic conductivity to compute matric potential in the soil profile is demonstrated. Resu...
متن کاملHydraulic crack propagation in a porous medium
We develop a model for the propagation of a fluid-filled crack in a porous medium. The problem is motivated by the mechanism whereby drainage networks may form in partially molten rock below the Earth‘s lithosphere. Other applications include the propagation of hydraulic fractures in jointed rocks and in oil drilling operations, and the formation of dessication cracks in soils. Motivated by the...
متن کاملEffective Conductivity of an Isotropic Heterogeneous Medium of Lognormal Conductivity Distribution
The study aims at deriving the effective conductivity Kef of a three-dimensional heterogeneous medium whose local conductivity K(x) is a stationary and isotropic random space function, of lognormal distribution and finite integral scale IY . We adopt a model of spherical inclusions of different K, of lognormal pdf, that we coin as a multi-indicator structure. The inclusions are inserted at rand...
متن کاملNumerical Evaluation of Hydraulic Fracturing Pressure in a Two-Phase Porous Medium
Hydraulic fracturing is a phenomenon in which cracks propagate through the porous medium due to high pore fluid pressure. Hydraulic fracturing appears in different engineering disciplines either as a destructive phenomenon or as a useful technique. Modeling of this phenomenon in isothermal condition requires analysis of soil deformation, crack and pore fluid pressure interactions. In this paper...
متن کاملMultiscale modelling of hydraulic conductivity in vuggy porous media
Flow in both saturated and non-saturated vuggy porous media, i.e. soil, is inherently multiscale. The complex microporous structure of the soil aggregates and the wider vugs provides a multitude of flow pathways and has received significant attention from the X-ray computed tomography (CT) community with a constant drive to image at higher resolution. Using multiscale homogenization, we derive ...
