Imaging fracture connectivity using hydraulic tomography

In many field studies,fractures are found to dominate the flow and transport processes.In this paper,we have applied hydraulic tomography technology to synthetic fractured rocks that permits "imaging" of the connectivity of fractured rocks.The hypothetical aquifer was a two-dimensional vertical square domain of 17×17 square meters with two orthogonal fracture zones.We assumed that two inclined boreholes were installed in the domain to demonstrate the capability of hydraulic tomography by using V...
