Fluid Flow in Discontinuous Rocks

by C.h. Lee, I.W. Farmer

Overview

This is the first book to consider rock discontinuity systems and individual discontinuities as the controlling factors determining fluid flow through rocks. It develops simple usable fracture flow models based on an understanding of discontinuity structure and the mechanics of rock and discontinuity deformation.
