PROJECT DETAILS ONLY - NO DATA. Coupled (mechanical-hydraulic) numerical models based on the distinct element method will be used to investigate the behaviour of fluid flow in fractured rock-masses under stress. Flow localization is predicted at some critical stress; parameters affecting this localization will be investigated. Flow in the vicinity of boreholes and by grain infiltration will be simulated. The models will be tested against field observations and hydraulic tests in boreholes.
