Preferential flow paths and heat pipes Results from laboratory experiments on heat-driven flow in natural and artificial rock fractures.

Preferential flow paths and heat pipes [electronic resource] : Results from laboratory experiments on heat-driven flow in natural and artificial rock fractures.

Water flow in fractures under the conditions of partial saturation and thermal drive may lead to fast flow along preferential localized pathways and heat pipe conditions. Water flowing in fast pathways may ultimately contact waste packages at Yucca Mountain and transport radionuclides to the accessi...
