Investigation on Nonlinear Flow Behavior through Rock Rough Fractures Based on Experiments and Proposed 3-Dimensional Numerical Simulation by Xianshan Liu, Man Li, Nandou Zeng, Tao Li

“…In addition, the expression of wall friction factor was derived, and relationship of f, Re, and relative roughness indicated that f increased with increasing fracture roughness considering the same aperture, resulting in nonlinear flow more easily, otherwise is not, showing that f could be used to describe the seepage condition and corresponding turning point. Finally, it can be seen from the numerical results that the nonlinearity of fluid flow is mainly caused by the formation of eddies at fracture intersections and the critical pressure gradient decreases with increasing angle. …”

Enhanced quantitative precipitation estimation through the opportunistic use of Ku TV-SAT links via a dual-channel procedure by L. Gelbart, L. Barthès, F. Mercier-Tigrine, A. Chazottes, C. Mallet

“…It is shown that this technique when compared to rain gauge measurements gives far better results than a naive single-channel approach neglecting the natural radiation of atmosphere but that significant errors remain in rainfall assessment, leading to a persistent underestimation of rain accumulation. Finally we discuss various effects that could lead to this remaining underestimation, opening the door for further studies.…”
