Effective Elastic and Hydraulic Properties of Fractured Rock Masses with High Contrast of Permeability: Numerical Calculation by an Embedded Fracture Continuum Approach

Figure 2

Two types of fracture cells in the EFC approach: type I represents the grid cell intersected by only one fracture (a) and type II indicates the grid cell intersected by more than one fracture (b).
