Effect of Shear Displacement on the Directivity of Permeability in 3D Self-Affine Fractal Fractures

The effect of shear displacement on the directivity of permeability in fractures is studied in this paper. The studied fracture surface has 3D self-affine fractal characteristics that are created using the modified successive random addition (SRA) method. Fluid flow through the fracture is simulated...
