Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory Project, Development of modeling methodology for the mass transport in the geological environment; Evaluation of mass transport phenomena in the Toki Granite

Hama, Katsuhiro 

The development of modeling methodology for the mass transport in the geological environment is one of the important issues in the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory Project. The main goal of this issue is to develop methodology for the characterization of mass transport property in the fractured crystalline rock. To achieve this goal, the study concerning mass transport phenomena in the Toki Granite should be carried out. The current status of this study has been presented.
