Investigation of Nonlinear Flow in Discrete Fracture Networks Using an Improved Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Model

Fractures commonly exist in rock masses; the coalescence of fractures provides fluid flow pathways in a fractured rock mass and greatly increases the flow capacity of fractured rock. This work aims to study the characteristics of nonlinear flow in fractures. A series of tests were conducted and indi...
