Abstract

The phenomena of fluid flow in fractured rock is dominated by the fact that is not all parts of the domain are in hydraulic communication. In theory, it is possible to determine connectivity and permeability from stochastic parameters that describe the fracture geometry. When this approach is applied to the field we find it very difficult to sufficiently determine the geometry which controls the flow. Simulated annealing, an inverse technique which focus on finding the pattern of conductors may provide a better way to characterize these systems.
