Numerical study on the evolution characteristics of contact and fluid flow in shear-induced rough joint

Abstract In order to investigate the influence of shear on contact characteristics and fluid flow evolution of rough rock fractures, a series of shear-flow tests were carried out by numerical experiments. Firstly, a sandstone specimen with a rough fracture was made in the laboratory, and the numeric...
