Analysis of Bingham fluid radial flow in smooth fractures

Solutions for radial flow of a Bingham fluid are analyzed in this paper. It aims to eliminate confusions in the literature concerning the plug flow region in different solutions for analysis and design of grouting in rock fractures. The analyses based on the force balance equation reveal that the pl...
