Problems of permeation and convective transfer in deformed fissured and fractured-porous media are of interest in connection with the opening up of oil, gas condensate, and water deposits belonging to these types of collectors, and also for a number of problems of mining thermophysics. This paper investigates fissure porosity and permeability on the basis of a general model for media with plane fissures having smooth walls without protrustions and fractures preventing their closure, on the assumption that the medium is elastic but the stresses in it and the pressure of the liquid in the fissures are arbitrary. If the permeability by blocks is much smaller than the permeability by fissures, then the obtained results have to be approximately correct for fissured as well as for fracturedporous materials.
