Effect of Contact Area on Deflection Flow Behavior in a Bifurcated Fracture

The factors affecting the deflection flow in a bifurcated fracture under the effect of the fracture contact area are discussed. The effects of the contact area and cross-section on the deflection flow are determined using a combination of experiments and numerical simulations. The contact and seepag...
