Abstract

By means of reasonable assumption and mathematical derivation, a theoretic expression of flow rate for a single fracture with linearly varying width was obtained. The mathematical derivation was based on the cubic law and the new theoretic expression was an extention of traditional parallel plate model. This study may help to analyze seepage in fractured rock mass.
