The properties of nanoparticles and its aggregation as well as convective heat transfer of
nanofluids have received great attentions over the last few decades. It is well certified that …

In this review, we explore the significance of rock fragments in studies of soil hydrological
processes, because according to research, the effects of rock fragments on soil hydrological …

Transition of fluid flow from the linear to the nonlinear regime has been confirmed in single
rock fractures when the Reynolds number (Re) exceeds some critical values, yet the …

Fracture network and fractured porous media as well as their transport properties have
received great attentions in many fields from engineering application and basic theoretical …

This study presents the particle size distribution of aggregate effects on the mechanical and
structural properties of cemented rockfill. The uniaxial compression tests with acoustic …

The fracture geometric characteristics (FGC) have considerable influence on fluid flow in the
fractured rock mass. The present work took experimental approaches to investigate the …

Fluid flow tests were conducted on two crossed fracture models for which the geometries of
fracture segments and intersections were measured by utilizing a visualization technique …

Fracture networks play a more significant role in conducting fluid flow and solute transport in
fractured rock masses, comparing with that of the rock matrix. Accurate estimation of the …

Dual-porosity media embedded with random fractures widely exist in water and oil
reservoirs, soils etc. The permeability of such media has been one of focuses in the area of …

The permeability evolution of fractal-based two-dimensional discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) during shearing under constant normal stiffness (CNS) boundary conditions is …
