Research overview

Pore-scale models examine how confinement changes bentonite flow paths and hydraulic conductivity. Model-derived relationships require validation for the actual GCL, hydration state and site liquid.

Kontain’s reading note. Refer to the original paper for the authors’ full methods, findings and limitations.
