Effect of Shearing on Non-Darcian Fluid Flow Characteristics through Rough-Walled Fracture

The heterogeneous fracture geometry induced by the presence of roughness and shearing complicates the fracture flow. This paper presents a numerical investigation of the non-Darcian flow characteristics of rough-walled fractures during shear processes. A series of fracture flow simulations were perf...
