Characterization of Fluid Behavior in 3D Digitalized Fracture Using Lattice Boltzmann Method: Evolution of Permeability by Shear Deformation and Its Representative Elementary Volume

Characterization of Fluid Behavior in 3D Digitalized Fracture Using Lattice Boltzmann Method: Evolution of Permeability by Shear Deformation and Its Representative Elementary Volume

Hydraulic properties of fracture are directly related to shale-gas production, oil/gas reservoir and geothermal reservoir distribution. The permeable fracture could work as fluid pathway, but the fracture sealed by minerals (i.e. less permeable fracture) could work as seal in reservoir. Thus, hydrau...
