Abstract
Groundwater flow through three-dimensional networks of discrete fractures was modeled to predict the flux into a fifty meter long drift, as part of the site characterization and validation project conducted during phase 3 of the Stripa project. Predictions were made on the basis of a site scale discrete fracture conceptual model developed by synthesis of geological, geophysical, and hydrological site characterization data. Individual fractures were treated as stochastic features, described by probability distributions of geometric and hydrologic properties. Fractures were divided into three populations: Fractures within fracture zones near the drift, non-fracture zone fractures near the drift, and fractures in fracture zones over 20 meters from the drift. Fractures outside fracture zones are not modelled beyond 20 meters from the drift. Both data analysis and flow predictions were produced using the FracMan discrete fracture modelling package. Probabilistic flow predictions were produced in seven formats specified by the Stripa task force on fracture flow modelling. (au).
