Journal ArticleDOI
Fault zone architecture and permeability structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed qualitative and quantitative schemes for evaluating fault-related permeability structures by using results of field investigations, laboratory permeability measurements, and numerical models offlow within and near fault zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permeability of fault-related rocks, and implications for hydraulic structure of fault zones
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the permeability structure of a fault zone in granitic rocks by laboratory testing of intact core samples from the unfaulted protolith and the two principal fault zone components; the fault core and damaged zone.
Book ChapterDOI
Fault Zone Architecture and Fluid Flow: Insights from Field Data and Numerical Modeling
TL;DR: In this article, a series of numerical simulations of fluid flow in a set of three-dimensional discrete fracture network models aids in identifying the primary controlling parameters of fault-related fluid flow, and their interactions, throughout episodic deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural heterogeneity and permeability in faulted eolian sandstone: Implications for subsurface modeling of faults
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and permeability variations of a 4 km-long normal fault were determined by integrating surface mapping with data from five boreholes drilled through the fault (borehole to tens of meters scale).
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of groundwater flow on thermal regimes in mountainous terrain: A model study
Craig B. Forster,Leslie Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical procedure is used to estimate the position of the water table within constraints provided by the available infiltration rate and the permeability of the mountain massif, and it is shown that the rate of groundwater recharge, rather than permeability, is the appropriate factor to characterize the potential for an advective disturbance.
