Development and Application of a Percolation Velocity Monitoring Method in Multiphase Percolation Physical Experiments

Table 1

Common detection methods of seepage velocity.

MethodAdvantageLimitations/disadvantages

Electrical detection [4ā€“6]Widely applicable conditionsThe mechanism of action is unclear, and the resolution is low
Electromagnetic detection [7, 8]Quick and intuitiveThere are too many influencing factors to quantitatively describe
Elastic wave method [9, 10]Intuitive monitoring methodsNot significantly effective for small-scale detection
Tracer method [11]Ability to monitor the leakage channel and determine the leakage speedRadioactivity and contamination of tracers
Temperature change [11]High testing accuracy, which can reflect changes in flow velocityThe respective velocity of multiphase flow cannot be reflected
