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 ...

Water flooding microscopic seepage experiment is an effective method to study the microvadose mechanisms as well as the distributions of remaining oil. Throughout the experiment the quantitative description of the porous medium fluid flow parameters such as porosity, oil saturation and so forth is crucial. A quantitative analysis method is proposed via image processing, including image preproce...

Mud volcanoes (MVs) are the most prominent indicators of active methane/hydrocarbon venting at the seafloor on both passive and active continental margins. Their occurrence in the western Mediterranean is patent at the West Alboran Basin, where numerous MVs develop overlaying a major sedimentary depocentre containing overpressured shales. Although some of these MVs have been studied, the detail...

Palynostratigraphic and palynofacies analysis have been performed on hydrocarbon seep carbonate, carbonate nodule mudstone samples from the Early Cretaceous Kuhnpasset Beds in area of Wollaston Forland, Northeast Greenland. Three informal palynostratigraphic zones defined based dinoflagellate cyst occurrences. The range ?early Barremian to early Aptian age, correlate with previously These indic...

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...
