Upscaling of Permeability Field of Fractured Rock System: Numerical Examples
When the permeability field of a given porous medium domain is heterogeneous by the existence of randomly distributed fractures such that numerical investigation becomes cumbersome, another level of upscaling may be required. That is such complex permeability field could be relaxed i.e., smoothed by constructing an effective permeability field. The effective permeability field is an approximati...
متن کاملPermeability Estimation from Velocity Anisotropy in Fractured Rock
Cracks in a rock mass subjected to a uniaxial stress will be preferentially closed depending on the angle between the fracture normal and the direction of the applied stress. If the prestress fracture distribution is isotropic, the effective elastic properties of such a material are then transversely isotropic due to the preferred alignment of the cracks. Velocity measurements in multiple direc...
متن کاملSurface Water–groundwater Interaction in the Fractured Sandstone Aquifer Impacted by Mining-induced Subsidence: 2. Hydrogeochemistry
Water quality along the Waratah Rivulet in the Woronora Lake Catchment, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has been monitored during the last three years by the Sydney Catchment Authority. Water quality data shows changes in chemical composition due to cracking of streambeds and rockbars, and diversion of surface water into subsurface routes in the Hawkesbury Sandstone aquifer. Water quality ups...
متن کاملModelling of Groundwater Flow in Fractured Rock: Theoretical Approach and Practical Applications
The poster gives an overview of the present knowledge achieved by our research group in the field of modelling of the fluid flow in a fractured rock environment. First, we introduce possible approaches. Then we describe a process of generation of a mesh. Our system is based on the discrete stochastic network approach. It means that particular fractures are represented as 2D entities (polygons i...
متن کاملImpact of mining on groundwater quality in SW Ashanti, Ghana: a preliminary study
The focus of this research work is on the determination of the impact of mining on the groundwater quality in the historical mining region of SW Ashanti region in Ghana. This work describes the characteristics of the groundwater chemistry and pollution of the aquifer in the gold-ore bearing formation, which is highly weathered and fractured. The fractures control the permeability and depth of t...
