This project focuses on developing methods for the simulation of fluid flow in fractured rock aquifers. Given the large computational requirements involved in modelling discretely fractured rock masses, scaling approaches are required to allow for simulation at field scales. The sensitivity of the scaling to the parameters describing the fracture network will be investigated. It is anticipated that the scaled functional relationships will be quite network specific, and that the identification of the controls on the form of the scaling relationships will allow for the focussing of data acquisition to the most salient information, and will reduce the costs involved.

该项目的重点是开发碎石含水层中流体流动的方法。 鉴于对离散骨折的岩石块建模涉及的较大的计算要求，需要进行缩放方法以允许在现场尺度上进行模拟。 将研究比例对描述断裂网络的参数的敏感性。 可以预期，缩放的功能关系将非常具体，并且对缩放关系形式的控件的识别将允许将数据获取的重点放在最显着的信息上，并将降低所涉及的成本。
