An experiment system and transparent experiment method for replicating fluid displacement in a pore structure of a natural rock mass are provided. The natural pore structure is extracted and a digital porous model corresponding to the natural rock mass is reconstructed with the image processing method. Based on the digital porous model, a three-dimensional pore structure model with a transparent and visible internal structure is printed by a 3D printing device, such that the pore space inside the three-dimensional pore structure model is visible. In this way, the whole fluid flow during the displacement-seepage process within the natural rock mass can be replicated and visually observed from the outside when performing the displacement-seepage experiment. Further, temperature, flow rate, and pressure can be accurately controlled, to replicate various experiment conditions, so as to perform quantitative analysis on distribution features of a seepage field and a fluid speed field.
