Impact of normal stress-induced closure on laboratory-scale solute transport in a natural rock fracture

The impact of normal stress-induced closure on fluid flow and solute transport in a single rock fracture is demonstrated in this study. The fracture is created from a measured surface of a granite rock sample. The Bandis model is used to calculate the fracture closure due to normal stress, and the f...
