Abstract

The effective permeability and the representative element volume(REV) of fracture network model were evaluated based on the parameters such as permeability tensor, principal permeability and the direction of principal permeability. The effective permeability ranges between the harmonic mean and the arithmetic mean of the local permeabilities of subdivided blocks. From the numerical experiments, which were for investigating the influence of model volume on the variation of flux for the cubic models, it was found that the variation of flux became reduced as the model volume approached REV. The variation of groundwater flux into the tunnel in the fracture network model was mainly dependent on the ratio of the tunnel length to model size rather than REV. And it was found that groundwater flux into the tunnel was not completely consistent between the fracture network model and the equivalent porous media model, especially when the ratio of the tunnel length to model size is small.

균열연결망 모델에서의 투수계수 텐서, 주 투수계수 그리고 주 투수계수 방향들에 대한 인자에 근거해서 유효투수계수와 대표요소체적을 구하였다. 전체브록에 대한 소블록의 투수계수의 계산을 통해서 유효투수계수는 조화평균과 산술평균 사이의 범위임을 알 수 있었다. 정육면체 모델에서 체적의 증가에 따른 유량의 변화계산에 대한 수치실험으로부터 유량의 변화는 모델의 체적이 대표요소체적에 접근함에 따라 감소함을 보여 주어ST다. 터널로의 지하수 유입량은 대표요소체적 개념보다는 터널길이대 모델크기의 비에 더 큰 영향을 받는다고 볼 수 있다. 그리고 균열연결망 모델과 등가다공성 모델에서의 지하수 유입량은 정확히 일치하지 않았으며 특히 모델크기에 대한 터널길이가 작을수록 그 차이가 크게 발생하였다.
