Permeability estimates of self‐affine fracture faults based on generalization of the bottleneck concept

Permeability estimates of self‐affine fracture faults based on generalization of the bottleneck concept

We propose a method for calculating the effective permeability of two-dimensional self-affine permeability fields based on generalizing the one-dimensional concept of a bottleneck. We test the method on fracture faults where the local permeability field is given by the cube of the aperture field. The method remains accurate even when …
