Disentangling the Simultaneous Effects of Inertial Losses and Fracture Dilation on Permeability of Pressurized Fractured Rocks

Abstract How fluids flow through pressurized fractured rocks is relevant to many engineering applications and geophysical processes including fault rupturing, hydraulic fracturing, induced seismicity, fluid extraction, and contaminant transport. With increasing fluid pressure and concomitantly eleva...
