Abstract

A literature review of dripping in underground constructions in deep, unsaturated geologic media was performed as part of a phased study. The objective is to develop and test a formulation that can be used for studying unsaturated flow through rough multi-segmented fractures, with emphasis on predicting dripping initiation time. Geologic and hydrogeologic setting for the Yucca Mountain (YM) and its exploratory studies facility, which is the site where the model will be tested, are described.
