Mesoscopic Deformation of a Hydraulic and Mechanical Aperture of a Single Fracture under Normal Stress

Studies have focused on describing the interactions between the fluid flow characteristics and structural deformation of fractures at the mesoscopic scale, which is a scale between the macroscale and the microscale. In this work, a three-dimensional numerical simulation based on the Navier-Stokes eq...
