Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Preferential Flow in Fractured Network with Clogging Process

In this study, physical experiments and numerical simulations are combined to provide a detailed understanding of flow dynamics in fracture network. Hydraulic parameters such as pressure head, velocity field, Reynolds number on certain monitoring cross points, and total flux rate are examined under...
