The distribution of fractures in the underground rock mass is complex, so it
is of great significance to study the parameter characteristics of fracture
seepage for geothermal exploitation, land subsidence, and other fields.
Based on the Weierstrass-Mandelbrot function, several X-shaped fracture
models with different roughness are established, and the fracture seepage
law under different roughness and inlet pressure is studied. At the same
time, the center (cross-region) of the X-shaped fracture is selected as the
research object, and the seepage difference characteristics of the
cross-region under the two inlet modes of adjacent flow and convective flow
are compared and analyzed. The results show that the outlet velocity of
fracture fluid is inversely proportional to the fractal dimension and is
directly proportional to the inlet pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
