Dependence of fluid flow on cleat aperture distribution and aperture–length scaling: a case study from Gondwana coal seams of Raniganj Formation, Eastern India

Abstract Dimensions and mutual relationships amongst fracture (cleat) parameters such as maximum aperture width, average aperture width, length, spacing etc. control the connectivity within a fracture network and the fluid flow in a coal seam as the matrix permeability, here, is negligible. In this...
