Fractals Flow Simulation for Groundwater Flow with Varying Apertures by Using Analytic Element Method

The work presented in this article is composed of 2-dimensional groundwater flow simulations for fractured porous media with different aperture fractures by using the Analytic Element Method. In order to investigate behavior and its effect on fractures, we considered systems varying apertures, hydraulic conductivities orientations presence uniform field a well. We also introduced matrix method solve problems which unknown coefficients are obtained from discharge potential all elements present systems. numerical solution prescribed problem based series expansion, while influence each fracture expressed that satisfy Laplace’s equation.
