Both the aperture and the roughness, which are the two important parameters of a single
fracture, are discussed firstly. Research achievements of the fluid flow behavior in a single …

The knowledge of flow phenomena in fractured rocks is very important for groundwater‐
resources management in hydrogeological engineering. The most commonly used tool to …

The roughness of concrete lining is one of the essential parameters to evaluate the flow
capacity of water conveyance structures such as concrete channels, tunnels, and aqueducts …

The cross-fracture is one of the basic units of rock fracture network in the deep energy
exploitation. The scientific evaluation of the fluid flow behavior of a cross-fracture is a key …

This study experimentally investigated the nonlinear flow characteristics at low Reynolds
number through rough-walled fractures subjected to a wide range of confining pressures …

In this investigation, a framework is proposed to find the equations to describe the fracture
conductivity and fracture aperture as the functions of effective stress (the difference between …

Fractured rocks in the subsurface are ubiquitous, and the dynamics of mass transfer in
fractured rocks plays an important role in understanding the problem in engineering geology …

This paper aims at developing a pore-scale numerical model for non-Darcy fluid flow
through rough-walled fractures. A simple general relationship between the local hydraulic …

Nonlinear flow in 3D rough-walled rock fractures is simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes
equations. The emphasis is on the impact of shear-caused aperture changes (variable …

This paper mainly investigated the fractal characteristics of crack propagation in hydraulic
fracturing and the effect of fractal dimension of induced fractures on the rock breakdown …
