Nonlinear fluid flow through three-dimensional rough fracture networks: Insights from 3D-printing, CT-scanning, and high-resolution numerical simulations
Nonlinear flow behavior of fluids through three-dimensional (3D) discrete fracture networks (DFNs) considering effects of fracture number, surface roughness and fracture aperture was experimentally and numerically investigated. Three physical models of DFNs were 3D-printed and then computed tomograp...
