Liquid splitting behavior at fracture intersections is an important process affecting
unsaturated flow in fractured rocks. The role of inertia in liquid splitting at a fracture …

Understanding the macro‐scale flow characteristics in the fractured vadose zone is of great
importance for subsurface hydrological and environmental applications. Here we develop …

Although flow in unconfined double porosity aquifers occurs in most part of the world such
as in karst and crystalline aquifers, their hydrodynamic behavior is still poorly understood …

Available methods to quantify the recharge of karst aquifers usually rely on spatially and
temporally aggregated precipitation measurements and simplified recharge models …

Understanding unsaturated flow behaviors in fractured rocks is essential for various
applications. A fundamental process in this regard is flow splitting at fracture intersections …

We present an experimental and theoretical study of unsaturated flow in discrete fracture
networks. The focus is on the breakthrough time of infiltrating liquid through the fracture …

Fractures provide pathways for preferential flow, whereas porous rock acts as storage that
delays fluid propagation through matrix imbibition. These dual‐porosity mechanisms are …
