- Abstract
The frequency aperture given in this paper is a new method that describes the fracture aperture composition. The aperture curve plays a role in describing the aperture distribution and uniformity. In particular, the frequency hydraulic aperture is of great importance in seepage analysis. It overcomes limitations of hydraulic aperture and mean aperture. Based on existing information, the result of example calculation shows that the hydraulic aperture e h equals to the median aperture e 50 . This paper also obtains that the frequency hydraulic aperture e sh equals to e 48 through finite element numerical modeling for various type of random fracture.
