Summary
The seepage mechanics is an important scientific discipline, which focuses on the patterns of fluid flow in porous media and covers theoretical, experimental, numerical simulation, and other studies. Since its inception, it has found a wide range of applications in the development of geotechnical engineerings, such as landslides, groundwater, shale gas, geothermal energy, nuclear energy, and other projects. Meanwhile, seepage mechanics has made great progress in the study of geological hazards, water loss and soil erosion, groundwater pollution diffusion, biological-physical-chemical percolation, and other scientific and technological problems. However, this subject faces new challenges in the fields of non-Darcy, non-Newtonian, non-isothermal, nonlinear media, as well as multi-scale, multi-phase, multi-field percolation theory and their coupled effects. As a result, the seepage mechanics has become a theoretical and applied foundation for scientific and technical fields such as geotechnical, environmental, resource and energy engineering.
Suggested topics related to this special issue include, but are not limited to:
• New progress, opportunities, and challenges of seepage mechanics;
• Seepage mechanics in geotechnical and hydraulic engineering;
