Funded Activity Summary

The Influence of Fracture Network Topology on Fluid Flow in the Subsurface. This project focuses on developing methods for the simulation of fluid flow in fractured rock aquifers. Given the large computational requirements involved in modelling discretely fractured rock masses, scaling approaches are required to allow for simulation at field scales. The sensitivity of the scaling to the parameters describing the fracture network will be investigated. It is anticipated that the scaled functional relationships will be quite network specific, and that the identification of the controls on the form of the scaling relationships will allow for the focussing of data acquisition to the most salient information, and will reduce the costs involved.
