Fractal study and simulation of fracture roughness

S. Kumar, G. S. Bodvarsson

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This study examines the roughness profiles of the surfaces of fractures and faults by using concepts from fractal geometry. Relationships between fractal characteristics of profiles and isotropic surfaces are analytically developed and a deterministic representation of the roughness is examined.
