Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Influence on Overland Flow and Water Infiltration by Fracture Networks in Soil

Preferential flow is common in clay or expansive clay soils, involving water bypassing a large portion of the soil matrix. Dye tracer experiment and numerical modeling are used to simulate the surface runoff and subsurface preferential flow patterns influenced by the soil fracture network of a relat...
