Authoritative textbook that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to fluid flow in fractured rocks
Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks provides an authoritative introduction to the topic of fluid flow through single rock fractures and fractured rock masses.
This book is intended for readers with interests in hydrogeology, hydrology, water resources, structural geology, reservoir engineering, underground waste disposal, or other fields that involve the flow of fluids through fractured rock masses. Classical and established models and data are presented and carefully explained, and recent computational methodologies and results are also covered. Each chapter includes numerous graphs, schematic diagrams and field photographs, an extensive reference list, and a set of problems, thus providing a comprehensive learning experience that is both mathematically rigorous and accessible.
Written by two internationally recognized leaders in the field, Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks includes information on:
- Nucleation and growth of fractures in rock, with a multiscale characterization of their geometric traits
- Effect of normal and shear stresses on the transmissivity of a rock fracture and mathematics of fluid flow through a single rock fracture
- Solute transport in rocks, with quantitative descriptions of advection, molecular diffusion, and dispersion
Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks is an essential resource for researchers and postgraduate students who are interested in the field of fluid flow through fractured rocks. The text is also highly suitable for professionals working in civil, environmental, and petroleum engineering.
