Validity of Cubic Law for fluid flow in a deformable rock fracture

The validity of the cubic law for laminar flow of fluids through open fractures consisting of parallel planar plates has been established by others over a wide range of conditions with apertures ranging down to a minimum of 0.2 µm. The law may be given in simplified form by Q /Δ h = C (2 b ) 3 , whe... View More
