Abstract
Research has demonstrated the significant influence of surface roughness on electrical conductivity and streaming potential. This article presents a model for the flow potential in a porous medium with rough fractures, based on fractal theory and representative elementary volume theory. Expressions for the model’s permeability, conductivity, and coupling coefficient between flow and potential are derived. The results indicate that both the relative roughness and structural parameters of the model have certain effects on the conductivity and coupling coefficient. By comparing experimental data from previous literature with the predicted values from the model, the correctness and effectiveness of the model are validated.
期刊介绍：
The European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids publishes papers in all fields of fluid mechanics. Although investigations in well-established areas are within the scope of the journal, recent developments and innovative ideas are particularly welcome. Theoretical, computational and experimental papers are equally welcome. Mathematical methods, be they deterministic or stochastic, analytical or numerical, will be accepted provided they serve to clarify some identifiable problems in fluid mechanics, and provided the significance of results is explained. Similarly, experimental papers must add physical insight in to the understanding of fluid mechanics.
