3D printing of fracture networks
Anna Suzuki
Conventional experiments using real rock samples have trouble in observing rock structures and controlling fracture properties. Taking advantage of 3D printing technologies, we made a complex fracture network by using a 3D printer. Hydraulic properties, such as porosity and permeability were similar with the theoretical values. A tracer response curve from the flow experiment were compared with numerical simulations.
