Evaluating the Influence of Fracture Roughness and Tortuosity on Fluid Seepage Based on Fluid Seepage Experiments

The roughness and tortuosity of fractures are essential parameters affecting the fluid flow in a jointed rock mass. This paper investigates the influence of fracture roughness and tortuosity on fluid seepage behavior. A rough fracture surface was characterized by means of three-dimensional scanning...
