The hydromechanical coupling behavior of rocks is widely present in the fields of rock
mechanics and engineering studies. Analyzing and summarizing the relevant literature, the …

Rock fractures are crucial conduits for fluid flow in fractured rock masses. Three-dimensional
(3D) discrete fracture network (DFN) modeling approach, which can explicitly characterize …

The non‐Darcy flow behavior in unfilled and fully filled rough fractures has been
investigated thoroughly for decades. Natural fractures usually be partially filled with porous …

This study investigates the impacts of surface roughness on the nonlinear fluid flow through
three-dimensional (3D) self-affine rock fractures, whose original surface roughness is …

This study presents the particle size distribution of aggregate effects on the mechanical and
structural properties of cemented rockfill. The uniaxial compression tests with acoustic …

This study experimentally analyzes the nonlinear flow characteristics and channelization of
fluid through rough-walled fractures during the shear process using a shear-flow …

To study the effect of periodic water circulation on rock mass, chlorite–amphibolite rocks
from the slope of Nanfen open-pit iron mine in Liaoning province were chosen as the …

This study focuses on the transport properties and permeability evolution characteristics of
fluid flow through thermally treated rock samples containing single fractures. First, splitting …

Fluid flow tests were conducted on two crossed fracture models for which the geometries of
fracture segments and intersections were measured by utilizing a visualization technique …

This study experimentally analyzed the influence of shear processes on nonlinear flow
behavior through 3D rough-walled rock fractures. A high-precision apparatus was …
