We have conducted high-resolution Navier-Stokes simulations and laboratory measurements of fluid flow in a natural sandstone fracture. First, epoxy casts were made of the two opposing fracture surfaces. The surface profiles of the two surfaces were then measured at a vertical resolution of ±2 μm, every 20 μm in the x and y-directions, over 2 cm × 2 cm regions of the fracture. These data were then used to create a finite-element mesh for the fracture void space, and the Navier-Stokes equations were solved within this domain. Flow experiments were also conducted within the same fracture casts, over a range of flowrates. The simulations confirm the existence of a weak inertia regime for Reynolds numbers in the range of 1-10, in which the non-Darcy pressure drop varies with the cube of the flowrate. Although of theoretical interest, this effect is, however, probably too small to be of engineering interest. At Reynolds numbers above about 20, both the simulations and experiments exhibit a Forchheimer-type regime, in which the non-Darcy pressure drop is quadratic in the flowrate. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Experimental observations show that flow through a fracture decreases more rapidly than the cube of the mean aperture (COOK, 1992). In order to provide a possible explanation of these experimental findings, we study creeping flow through a fracture of varying aperture that is symmetric about its midplane, using the power series of the stream function obtained by VAN DYKE (1987) for low Reynolds numbers. For the case of sinusoidally-varying walls, a simple expression relating the effective hydraulic aperture of the channel to the mean aperture and to the amplitude and wavelength of the sinusoidal wall profiles is obtained. Comparison is made to previous studies (KITANIDIS and DYKAAR, 1997) and to finite element calculations, and good agreement is obtained. The effect of fracture closure is then modelled as a decrease of the mean aperture without a change in the roughness. A power law relationship can be obtained between the flowrate and the mean aperture, with an exponent as high as 10, thus providing a potential mechanistic explanation of the experimental findings of PYRAK-NOLTE et al. (1987).
