Research Topic

Local deformation behaviour of rough rock joints subjected to internal water flow

Research Topic Brief Abstract

The research objectives was to mathematically model two dimensional flow behaviour of deformable rough rock joints and numerically solve them having developed a computer program using matlab and verify the model by laboratory experiments performed for real rock joints.
