For a tube, with smooth border, saturated with a given fluid of viscosity , we can compute the flux q of fluid generated by a difference of pressure at the extremity of the tube using poiseuille law. For a tube of radius r and length l, the flux is given by:
For a fracture, with smooth border, saturated with a given fluid of viscosity , we can compute the flux q of fluid generated by a difference of pressure at the extremity of the fracture using poiseuille law. For a fracture of width a, aperture l and length L, the flux is given by:
