Abstract: The effect of joint geometry parameters (joint orientation, joint density, and joint size) and joint transmissivity on the hydraulic properties of jointed rock blocks was examined in two dimensions using joint networks ...

Abstract: The fracture tensor is a combined measure of joint geometry parameters. The possible relations between the properties of the fracture tensor and the hydraulic properties of jointed rock including the equivalent continuum ...

Abstract: The effect of joint geometry parameters and the size of jointed rock block on the hydraulic properties of jointed rock, including the equivalent continuum behavior, was investigated through numerical experimentation. The ...
