Numerical simulation of flow fields and permeability evolution in real fractures under continuous loading stress by LIANG Yunpei, ZHANG Huaijun, WANG Lichun, QIN Chaozhong, TIAN Jian, CHEN Qiang, SHI Bowen

“…The findings are significant: ① The 25 mm×50 mm real fracture in Brazilian splitting shows obvious heterogeneity in the microstructure of the original aperture and surface roughness, which is obviously different from the fracture that reaches the average scale directly generated by numerical method. ② In the process of stress loading, the fracture aperture, contact area and spatial correlation length show different evolution characteristics in the x direction and y direction due to the fracture heterogeneity, and the control mechanism of permeability change is different; ③ When the traditional empirical formula is used to fit the stress-sensitive permeability evolution of fracture, the deviation of the fitting degree increases with the increase of the heterogeneity of fracture samples. …”

Accessory graphite in phyllites as indicator of metamorphic grade and stage (Szendrő Mts., NE Hungary) by Lívia Leskóné Majoros, Máté Zs. Leskó, Krisztián Fintor, Ferenc Móricz, Délia Bulátkó-Debus, Sándor Szakáll, Ferenc Kristály

“…The absence of S and Cl (confirmed by EDX) indicates a total maturation of the carbonaceous material into pure, disordered graphite with higher crystal ordering supported also by the initial splitting of S2 Raman band. The average formation temperature is estimated at 425°C (±50°C) by the Beyssac-method and 417°C (±50°C) by the Aoya-method.…”
