Previous studies pointed out that the hydraulic aperture (bh) is solely dependent on the
geometric features of a fracture, independent of fluid inertia effects. Here we present an …

The fluid‐flow properties of fractures have received increasing attention regarding the role of
geofluids in the genesis of slow and fast earthquakes and recent advances in …

Fluid flow in rock fractures is described by Darcy's law and its nonlinear extension, the
Forchheimer equation in form of a quadratic polynomial. Since the nonlinearity of the …

Subsurface substance migration in the fractured rock aquifer is mainly controlled by
fractures, and prediction of solute transport in fractures is important to many geophysical …

To reveal the internal structure of the earth, rock physical models are insightful for
interpreting geophysical observation data and are often used for estimating subsurface …

This study aims to develop a theoretical model for predicting the permeability of concrete in
underground structures using compressive elastic waves. This research is motivated by the …

Crack initiation and propagation in rocks exposed to injected fluids must be understood
better for sustainable sequestration and geo-energy applications. One specific challenge is …

The arrival behavior of elastic waves in a naturally fractured rock is studied based on
numerical simulations. We use the discrete fracture network method to represent the …

Fluid flow in fractures controls subsurface heat and mass transport, which is essential for
developing enhanced geothermal systems and radioactive waste disposal. Fracture …

Abstract The Domo de San Pedro Geothermal field, located in the westernmost part of the
trans-Mexican volcanic belt, is part of a silicic volcanic complex. Geothermal energy is …
