The Role of Heterogeneity on Deformation and Flow in Fractured Coal Slopes

The fractures in brown coal influence fluid flow and deformation in these materials. These fractures display highly heterogeneous characteristics in the distributions of their apertures, separations and orientations. While discrete fracture models have previously been used to analyse the effects of...
