Flow characteristics of triple porosity components in karst aquifers
| Permeability | Dimension | Travel Time | Flow Mechanism | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matrix | μm to mm | Long | Darcy law, laminar flow | Continuous |
| Fracture | 10 μm to 10 mm | Intermediate | Cube law, usually laminar flow | Localized |
| Conduit | > 10 mm | Short | Darcy-Weisbach, open channel and pipe flow, turbulent flow | Localized |
