Calculation of Equivalent Permeability of Different Fracture Intersections in Fractured Porous Media
This paper reports a case study of calculation of equivalent permeability in Hot Dry Rock (HDR) system using an approach based on finite volume Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. In this case study, mass flow rates of water in two fractures crossing in a 300 mm x 300 mm two-dimensional (2D) block are predicted by CFD method for different pressure drops. The predicted mass flow rates are...
متن کاملNumerical Calculation of Equivalent Permeability Tensor for Fractured Vuggy Porous Media Based on Homogenization Theory
Abstract. A numerical procedure for the evaluation of equivalent permeability tensor for fractured vuggy porous media is presented. At first we proposed a new conceptual model, i.e., discrete fracture-vug network model, to model the realistic fluid flow in fractured vuggy porous medium on fine scale. This new model consists of three systems: rock matrix system, fractures system, and vugs system...
متن کاملFractal Analysis of Permeability of Unsaturated Fractured Rocks
A physical conceptual model for water retention in fractured rocks is derived while taking into account the effect of pore size distribution and tortuosity of capillaries. The formula of calculating relative hydraulic conductivity of fractured rock is given based on fractal theory. It is an issue to choose an appropriate capillary pressure-saturation curve in the research of unsaturated fractur...
متن کاملRelationship between fracture dip angle, aperture and fluid flow in the fractured rock masses
Most of the Earth's crust contains fluids, and fractures are common throughout the upper part. They exist at a wide range of scales from micro-fractures within grains to major faults and shear zones that traverse the crust. In this paper, the stress-dependent permeability in fractured rock masses have been investigated considering the effects of nonlinear normal deformation and shear dilation o...
متن کاملPermeability and Relative Permeability in Rocks
Important features of the topology of the pore space of rocks can be usefully quantiied by analyzing digitized images of rock cross sections. One approach computes statistical correlation functions using modern image processing techniques. These correlation functions contain information about porosity, speciic surface area, tortuosity, formation factor, and elastic constants, as well as the uid...
