The water pressure tests and flow in single rock fractures

A discussion on the interpretation of the water pressure tests (Lugeon test) is made by the authors. Laminar and turbulent flow regimens are considered in the analysis which is based on some results of laboratory tests using granite fractures with varying opening and roughness.
