Fluid flow regimes and nonlinear flow characteristics in deformable rock fractures

► Linear Darcy’s law holds for water flow in mated fracture. ► Forchheimer and Izbash laws offer good description for non-mated flow fracture. ► The confining stress does not change the linear and nonlinear trend flow patterns. ► Forchheimer nonlinear factor b with changing in situ stress was first...
