[0025] Furthermore, the horizontal heights of the connection points between the first water inlet pipe 11 , the first water outlet pipe 14 and the observation tube body 1 are all flush with the surface of the granular fine matter layer 6 .
[0026] A detachable base 18 is provided at the bottom of the observation tube body 1, and the detachable base 18 is used to collect penetrable particles.
[0027] A first flow controller 19 and a first valve 20 are connected to the middle of the first water inlet pipe 11. The first flow controller 19 is used to control the size of the inflowing water flow, and a horizontal runoff experiment can be performed.
[0028] A second flow controller 21 and a second valve 22 are connected to the middle of the second water inlet pipe 12. The second flow controller 21 is used to control the size of the inflowing water flow, and a vertical seepage experiment can be performed.

Excess water will be discharged into the circulating water tank 4 along the first water outlet pipe 14, and the filter 24 will filter out fine particles therein.
[0030] A third metal mesh 25 is provided at the connection between the second water outlet pipe 15 and the observation tube body 1 , a fourth valve 26 is provided in the middle of the second water outlet pipe 15 , and the third metal mesh 25 filters out fine particles therein.
[0031] The transparent porous medium layer 27 is made of sodium polyacrylate beads, and the meshes of the first metal mesh 5 and the second metal mesh 7 are smaller than the diameter of the sodium polyacrylate beads.
[0032] Specifically, the experimental section is filled with sodium polyacrylate beads. This highly absorbent polymer has an absorption capacity of 200-300 times its mass in water; therefore, its refractive index is very close to that of water.

Subsequently, the circulating pump 16 takes in water at a low flow rate through the connecting pipe 29, and injects water from the inside of the water supply tank to the bottom side of the observation tube body 1. The water level gradually rises from the bottom of the observation tube body 1 to exclude the air inside the transparent porous medium layer 27 to ensure the saturated seepage or runoff of the test. After the test starts, the circulating pump 16 sets the corresponding flow rate, pumps water from the circulating water tank to the water supply tank, opens the first valve or the second valve to inject water into the top of the inner part of the observation tube body 1, and performs saturated seepage or runoff, and then starts the PIV visualization measurement system. The high-speed camera 9 is turned on to record the movement of particles in the porous medium under the irradiation of the strong light source 8, and the results are stored in the computer 10. After running for a certain period of time, the particles in the particle layer 6 are basically penetrated into the transparent porous medium layer 27. At this time, the test is terminated. After stopping the test, the base 18 is removed, and the particles in the base 18 are taken out and dried. The load is recorded as m. By calculating the ratio of m to M, the penetration rate of the particles and other information can be obtained. This ends a cycle and obtains a set of experimental data. By studying the fluidization characteristics and blockage laws of fine particles in porous media, the device can verify the correctness of related numerical simulation results and provide support for research in related fields.
