## Abstract The Monte Carlo method is used to generate parent stochastic discrete fracture network, from which a series of fractured rock samples of different sizes and orientations are extracted. The fracture network combined with a regular grid forms composite element mesh of the fractured rock s
A geometric anisotropy factor (A:) of two-dimensional, natural fracture systems has been defined according to fracture spacing and orientation in a given direction. Geometric anisotropy of fracture systems has a major effect on the percolation threshold (the critical fracture density) of fracture sy
