Water sealing performance is important for underground water-sealed oil storage (UWSOS).
The key issues concerning water sealing performance mainly include the permeability of …

This text combines the science and engineering of hydrogeology in an accessible,
innovative style. As well as providing physical descriptions and characterisations of …

A systematic approach has been developed to estimate the relationship between the
permeability and connectivity of two‐dimensional fracture networks, in which the network …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) discrete fracture network (DFN) was generated to
evaluate the representative elementary volume (REV) of granitic rock masses based on the …

To investigate the intrinsic association between geometrical properties and permeability of
anisotropic fractured media, a methodology of geological entropy is applied to anisotropic …

A method to estimate the representative elementary volume (REV) size for the permeability
and equivalent permeability coefficient of rock mass with a radial flow configuration was …

Fault damage zones can act as a preferential corridor for fluid flow in the subsurface, and for
this reason the characterization of their structure, including the attributes of the associated …

Effective management of groundwater resources requires accurate estimates of aquifer
hydraulic parameters. One approach for estimating these parameters is to use aquifer water …

Determining the representative elementary volume (REV) of fractured rock masses is the
foundation for studying the properties of such rock masses using the equivalent continuum …

Based on the 3D-printing technique, totally 44 transparent specimens each containing a
single fracture with 4 types of aperture and 11 types of roughness are designed and printed …
