Watertable fluctuation-induced variability in the water retention curve: Sand column experiments

The soil water retention curve (WRC), describing the relation between the soil water content and its corresponding capillary pressure, relies not only on whether drying or wetting occurs but also on the pore scale water flow velocity. Here, we investigated ...

Trait-specific dispersal of bacteria in heterogeneous porous environments: from pore to porous medium scale

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, David Scheidweiler, Filippo Miele

The dispersal of organisms controls the structure and dynamics of populations and communities, and can regulate ecosystem functioning. Predicting dispersal patterns across scales is important to understand microbial life in heterogeneous porous environment ...

Hydrodynamic loading of perforated disks in creeping flows

François Gallaire, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Lorenzo Siconolfi, Matteo Pezzulla

We present results from an experimental investigation of a viscous fluid driven through and around porous disks at low and moderate Reynolds number conditions: Re = O(10(-4)-10(-3)) and Re = O(1-10). Specifically, we quantify the hydrodynamic drag that the ...

Propagation of a fluid-driven fracture with fracture length dependent apparent toughness

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Dong Liu

We investigate the growth of a hydraulic fracture assuming a power-law dependence of material toughness with fracture length for plane strain and radial geometries. Such a toughness fracture length dependence models in a simple manner a toughening mechanis ...

Continuously-fed gravity currents propagating over a finite porous substrate

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sara Venuleo

We present the results of laboratory investigations of continuously-fed density currents that propagate first over a smooth horizontal bed and then over a porous substrate of limited length. Inflow discharge, initial excess density, and substrate porositie ...

Experimental results of gravity currents travelling over a fissured bed

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sara Venuleo

Gravity currents are geophysical flows having large impact on human life and on the environment. The need to prevent and mitigate their negative consequences justifies the multitude of studies carried out to understand their physics. However little has bee ...

Highly anisotropic interlayer magnetoresitance in ZrSiS nodal-line Dirac semimetal

Oleg Yazyev, Xiaoqiang Wang, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

We instigate the angle-dependent magnetoresistance (AMR) of the layered nodal-line Dirac semimetal ZrSiS for the in-plane and out-of-plane current directions. This material has recently revealed an intriguing butterfly-shaped in-plane AMR whose origin is n ...

Suppression of von Karman vortex streets past porous rectangular cylinders

François Gallaire, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Francesco Viola, Lorenzo Siconolfi

Although the stability properties of the wake past impervious bluff bodies have been widely examined in the literature, similar analyses regarding the flow around and through porous ones are still lacking. In this work, the effect of the porosity and perme ...

Semi-analytical solution of flow to a well in an unconfined-fractured aquifer system separated by an aquitard

David Andrew Barry

Semi-analytical solutions are presented for flow to a well in an extensive homogeneous and anisotropic unconfined-fractured aquifer system separated by an aquitard. The pumping well is of infinitesimal radius and screened in either the overlying unconfined ...
