Groundwater – geofluids
Fluid flow: Froude and Reynolds numbers
19th century experiments that helped quantify the nature of fluid flow, surface waves, and bedforms. It all depends on inertia,
Geofluids: The permeability of faults
The changing fortunes of fault permeability and fluid flow Faults can act as conduits or barriers to fluid flow. As
Geofluids: Sedimentary basin-scale fluid flow
Fluid flow, like rocks and sediments, define sedimentary basins There is a complex interweave of fluid, sediment, and rock
Geofluids: Lithosphere-scale fluid flow
Fluid flow at lithospheric scales There’s not much that goes on in sedimentary basins that doesn’t involve fluids, particularly the
Glossary: Geofluids – hydrogeology
Advective fluid flow: The flow of fluids through a porous medium; in this case only the fluids move. Advective flow

Henry Darcy’s Law; a conceptual leap
Henry Darcy’s pivotal experiments with sand-filled tubes (in 1856) established an empirical relationship between hydraulic gradient (that is basically an
