Water inrush is one of the most dangerous disasters in coal mining. Due to the large-scale
mining and complicated hydrogeological conditions, thousands of deaths and huge …

Fracture surface morphology significantly affects fluid flow in rock fractures and has attracted
considerable attention in many seepage-related fields. Fluid flow in rough-walled fractures is …

This study investigates the impacts of surface roughness on the nonlinear fluid flow through
three-dimensional (3D) self-affine rock fractures, whose original surface roughness is …

Groundwater flow through fractured rocks has been recognized as an important issue in
many geotechnical engineering practices. Several key aspects of fundamental mechanisms …

Transition of fluid flow from the linear to the nonlinear regime has been confirmed in single
rock fractures when the Reynolds number (Re) exceeds some critical values, yet the …

Transient pulse tests were performed on single rock fractures at different confining
pressures. A new data analysis method based on polynomial fitting was introduced to …

This study experimentally analyzes the nonlinear flow characteristics and channelization of
fluid through rough-walled fractures during the shear process using a shear-flow …

Immiscible fluid‐fluid displacement in permeable media is important in many subsurface
processes, including enhanced oil recovery and geological CO2 sequestration. Controlled …

To investigate the influence of geometric characteristics of deformable rough fractures under
confining stresses on the behaviors of non-Darcy flow, four fractured sandstone specimens …

This study focuses on the transport properties and permeability evolution characteristics of
fluid flow through thermally treated rock samples containing single fractures. First, splitting …
