Influence mechanism of confining pressure on the hydraulic aperture based on the fracture deformation constitutive law
The confining pressure induces the deformation of fractures with seepage through the fracture. The seepage characteristics can reflect the deformation of the hydraulic aperture. We propose theoretical models to describe the mechanism by which the confining pressure influences the hydraulic aperture...
