Dissertation on flow in fractured rock
Files in this item
For fluid flow and deformation within earth materials, it is often the discontinuous features that define behavior: fractures. The following is a study of fluid flow and deformation in fractured rock, with particular emphasis on environments under thermal and chemical stress. Abstract. The phenomena of fluid flow in fractured rock is dominated by the fact that is not all parts of the domain are in hydraulic communication. In theory, it is possible to determine connectivity and permeability from stochastic parameters that describe the fracture blogger.com by: Suggested Citation:"1 Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow: Practical Problems."National Research Council.

Fluid flow velocities in fractures often differ to those in the surrounding porous matrix by orders of m agnitude and consequently, fractures largely govern the overall flow and transport characteristics of fractured reservoirs.

They include a pressure-dependent aperture sub-model. Robinson and Kruger () predict temperature decline at the Fenton Hill . This thesis studies the geometry of fracture systems, the factors influencing their geometries, and their possible impacts on permeability in three contrasting settings: an outcropping andesite lava flow of the Ruapehu volcano; the andesite-hosted Rotokawa geothermal reservoir; and the Alpine Fault hangingwall metamorphosed blogger.com by: 5.
