Interaction between Crustal-Scale Darcy and Hydrofracture Fluid Transport: A Numerical Study
Crustal-scale fluid flow can be regarded as a bimodal transport mechanism. At low hydraulic head gradients, fluid flow through rock porosity is slow and can be described as diffusional. Structures such as hydraulic breccias and hydrothermal veins both form when fluid velocities and pressures are hig...
