Figure 3: Flow and fracture-specific stiffness as a function of scale.
From: Approaching a universal scaling relationship between fracture stiffness and fluid flow
(a) Flow as a function of fracture stiffness for spatially correlated patterns and eroded patterns for fracture length scales of 0.0625–1 m. (b) Scaled flow-stiffness data using equation (1), the Petrovitch relationship. The shape of the symbol indicates the fracture length scale: 0.0625 (circles), 0.125 (squares), 0.25 (diamonds), 0.5 (filled inverted triangle) and 1 m (filled triangle).
