Dissolution of rock fractures is common in natural processes and engineering practices, in which gravity plays an important role. Visual observation technology is a key means to study the mechanism of dissolution in rough fractures.

Critical point network for drainage between rough surfaces [PDF]
In this paper, we present a network method for computing two-phase flows between two rough surfaces with significant contact areas. Low-capillary number drainage is investigated here since one-phase flows have been previously investigated in other ...

Interfacial fracture toughness of composite concrete beams [PDF]
A test for measuring the interfacial fracture toughness of a bi-material interface, essentially for concrete overlaid pavements was developed. The measured interfacial fracture toughness of steel fibre-reinforced, roller-compacted, polymer modified ...

Transverse fracture properties of green wood and the anatomy of six temperate tree species [PDF]
© Institute of Chartered Foresters, 2016. All rights reserved. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of wood anatomy and density on the mechanics of fracture when wood is split in the radial-longitudinal (RL) and tangential-longitudinal (TL)

Experimental Study of Fracturing Fluid Retention in Rough Fractures [PDF]
Multistage hydraulic fracturing is a key technology for developing tight reservoirs. Field data indicate that a small fraction of the injected water can be recovered during flowback. Fractures play an important role in the retention of fracturing fluid, but the mechanisms and rules remain uncertain.

Fluid Flow Behavior of Sheared Rough Fractures Subjected to Different Stress State
The hydraulic properties of fractures are greatly affected by the stress. Knowing the fluid flow behavior of fractures is of great importance to underground engineering construction and environmental safety. The main purpose of this paper is to study the

Effects of fracture aperture and roughness on hydraulic and mechanical properties of rocks : implication of seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs [PDF]
Roughness and aperture are two important characteristic parameters controlling fluid flow in natural joints and fractures. It has been demonstrated by many authors that knowledge of roughness does not directly lead to that of aperture, and aperture ...

Quasi-static cracks and minimal energy surfaces [PDF]
We compare the roughness of minimal energy(ME) surfaces and scalar ``quasi-static'' fracture surfaces(SQF). Two dimensional ME and SQF surfaces have the same roughness scaling, w sim L^zeta (L is system size) with zeta = 2/3.

Effect of fracture roughness on permeability coefficient under uniaxial compression
The surface roughness of natural rock-fractures is an important factor affecting the fractured rock mass flow characteristics and further complicating the flow process in the natural fractures.
