Fracture Aperture Evolution

Fracture Aperture Evolution is a geomechanical process model that describes the temporal and spatial changes in the opening width of fractures within natural fracture networks due to variations in stress, fluid pressure, and rock deformation, distinguishing it from static aperture descriptions by emphasizing dynamic modification under evolving subsurface conditions.
