- W1603802865 abstract "[1] We present the development of an improved 2-D flow equation for rough-walled fractures. Our improved equation accounts for the influence of midsurface tortuosity and the fact that the aperture normal to the midsurface is in general smaller than the vertical aperture. It thus improves upon the well-known Reynolds equation that is widely used for modeling flow in fractures. Unlike the Reynolds equation, our approach begins from the lubrication approximation applied in an inclined local coordinate system tangential to the fracture midsurface. The local flow equation thus obtained is rigorously transformed to an arbitrary global Cartesian coordinate system, invoking the concepts of covariant and contravariant transformations for vectors defined on surfaces. Unlike previously proposed improvements to the Reynolds equation, our improved flow equation accounts for tortuosity both along and perpendicular to a flow path. Our approach also leads to a well-defined anisotropic local transmissivity tensor relating the representations of the flux and head gradient vectors in a global Cartesian coordinate system. We show that the principal components of the transmissivity tensor and the orientation of its principal axes depend on the directional local midsurface slopes. In rough-walled fractures, the orientations of the principal axes of the local transmissivity tensor will vary from point to point. The local transmissivity tensor also incorporates the influence of the local normal aperture, which is uniquely defined at each point in the fracture. Our improved flow equation is a rigorous statement of mass conservation in any global Cartesian coordinate system. We present three examples of simple geometries to compare our flow equation to analytical solutions obtained using the exact Stokes equations: an inclined parallel plate, and circumferential and axial flows in an incomplete annulus. The effective transmissivities predicted by our flow equation agree very well with values obtained using the exact Stokes equations in all these cases. We discuss potential limitations of our depth-integrated equation, which include the neglect of convergence/divergence and the inaccuracies implicit in any depth-averaging process near sharp corners where the wall and midsurface curvatures are large." @default.
