Effects of fracture parameters and roughness on heat‐flow coupling in rock masses with two‐dimensional fracture networks

Abstract Discrete fracture network (DFN) is an effective means of describing the coupling of heat flow in an underground fractured rock mass. In this paper, an improved DFN is proposed by introducing the correlation function of fracture trace length and aperture, which is more consistent with the re...
