A Review of Critical Conditions for the Onset of Nonlinear Fluid Flow in Rock Fractures

Selecting appropriate governing equations for fluid flow in fractured rock masses is of special importance for estimating the permeability of rock fracture networks. When the flow velocity is small, the flow is in the linear regime and obeys the cubic law, whereas when the flow velocity is large, th...
