Evolution of fracture permeability due to co-colloidal bacterial transport in a coupled fracture-skin-matrix system

A numerical model is developed for investigating the evolution of fracture permeability in a coupled fracture-matrix system in the presence of fracture-skin with simultaneous colloidal and bacterial transport, by taking into account the effects of thermal stress and silica precipitation/dissolution,...
