Effect of shear-induced contact area and aperture variations on nonlinear flow behaviors in fractal rock fractures

Effect of shear-induced contact area and aperture variations on nonlinear flow behaviors in fractal rock fractures

This study experimentally analyzes the nonlinear flow characteristics and channelization of fluid through rough-walled fractures during the shear process using a shear-flow-visualization apparatus. A series of fluid flow and visualization tests is performed on four transparent fracture specimens wit...
