Controlling effects of differential swelling index on evolution of coal permeability

Coal permeability measurements are normally conducted under the assumption that gas pressure in the matrix is equalized with that in fracture and that gas sorption-induced swelling/shrinking strain is uniformly distributed within the coal. However, the validity of this assumption has long been quest...
