Zou, L., Håkansson, U. and Cvetkovic, V. (2020) Yield-power-law fluid propagation in water-saturated fracture networks with application to rock grouting. Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology 95, January 2020, 103170 (external link).

Highlights

• Previous model is extended for yield-power-law fluids flow in fracture networks.
• The extended model for fracture networks is verified by experimental data.
• Impacts of rheological property and aperture heterogeneity are illustrated.
• The extended two-phase flow model can be used for rock grouting design.
