Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks (Hardcover)

Authoritative textbook providing a rigorous and application-oriented introduction to fluid flow in fractured rocks Fluid Flow in Fractured Rocks provides an authoritative introduction to the mechanics of fracture growth, flow in single fractures, and flow in fractured porous media, covering a multitude of topics within a single text and providing a holistic understanding of how these subjects interconnect. Discussions of analytical, experimental, and numerical results illustrate and support the explained concepts. Each chapter comes with problems and summary tables, and contains schematic images as well as field photographs, thus providing a comprehensive learning experience that is both mathematically rigorous and accessible. Case studies from key areas such as petroleum geology, radioactive waste disposal, and geothermal energy aid in practical understanding of concepts. 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 Coupled thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, and chemical (THMC) rock-water interactions 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.
