Influence of contact characteristics on nonlinear flow and eddy development in three-dimensional fractures under normal stress

Z Zhang, S Wang, T Yang, F Dong, Z Gao… - Bulletin of Engineering …, 2024 - Springer
In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) contact fracture model with different normal stresses
is established by using artificial rough fractures. To investigate the influence of fracture void …

An index based on fracture length and aperture to predict groundwater inflow rates in tunnels excavated in fractured-rock

A Shahbazi, A Saeidi, R Chesnaux… - Transportation Geotechnics, 2024 - Elsevier
The surface area of the fractures at the wall of a tunnel is used to develop a representative
index, as inflow index, for the prediction and the classification of the inflow rate to a tunnel …

Analysis of the impact of uneven permeability of surrounding rock caused by the coupling effect of ground stresses and fault structure on sudden water inrush in …

P An, L Fan, H Wen, H Fu - Quarterly Journal of Engineering …, 2024 - lyellcollection.org
Affected by fault structure and in situ stress, the heterogeneity of the permeability of
surrounding rock is universal. Treating it as a fixed value will reduce the prediction accuracy …
