This study focuses on experimental evaluation of the Forchheimer equation coefficients for
non-Darcy flow in deformable rough-walled fractures. Water flow tests through twelve granite …

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 …

In the hydraulic fracturing of natural rocks, understanding and predicting crack penetrations
into the neighboring layers is crucial and relevant in terms of cost-efficiency in engineering …

This work investigated permeability evolution for fluid flow through natural fractures and
artificial fractures in granite and the evolution of failure surface under cyclic fatigue loads …

This study experimentally investigated the nonlinear flow characteristics at low Reynolds
number through rough-walled fractures subjected to a wide range of confining pressures …

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 …

Increasing fracture aperture by lowering effective normal stress and by inducing dilatant
shearing and thermo-elastic effects is essential for transmissivity increase in enhanced …

A new fully coupled poroelastic peridynamic formulation is presented and its application to
fluid-filled fractures is demonstrated. This approach is capable of predicting porous flow and …

The role of surface geometry and its evolution during shearing process on the
hydromechanical behaviour of rock discontinuities has long remained an open question for …

Modeling saturated-unsaturated flow in fractured rock formations remains a challenging
issue due to the difficulties in properly calibrating the unsaturated flow properties for …
