Sentence examples for aperture fracture from inspiring English sources

In porous and aperture (fracture, capillary etc).

Apart from direct reduction in the aperture, fracture closing increases the flow tortuosity since more asperities come into contact, and the flowing fluid has to go around them.

Because element thickness is much greater than fracture aperture, fracture elements are assigned properties of a fracture continuum rather than of an individual fracture.

Graphical estimates of entry pressure provide a good approximation of the critical aperture controlling the formation of a continuous nonwetting phase pathway in a variable aperture fracture.

In particular, a sensitivity analysis of the dissolution process with respect to the presence of fractures, fracture aperture, fracture distribution, and acid injection rate, is conducted.

We experimentally investigate the influence of suspended neutrally-buoyant particles on the dispersion of a passive solute in pressure-driven axial flow in a constant aperture fracture (parallel plates configuration).

Consequently, the pores in basalt can be potentially clogged, as well as the sub-micrometric aperture fractures.

Consequently, we show that multiphase flow concepts developed for porous media can successfully be applied to variable aperture fractures.

This study investigates DNAPL dissolution in variable aperture fractures under two important entrapment configurations, namely, entrapped residual blobs from gravity fingering and pooling in a dead-end fracture.

A three-dimensional (3-D) variable-aperture fracture network model for flow and transport in fractured crystalline rocks has been applied to study the effects of large variability in fracture transmissivity on non-sorbing and sorbing tracer transport, and scale effects in transport distance.

A numerical model incorporating aqueous phase transport in a variable-aperture fracture and its surrounding matrix is developed and coupled with an existing two-phase flow model.
