000004844 520__ $$2eng$$aThe study of flow through fractured rock is a challenging research topic. The inherent complexity of the geometry of natural surfaces in contact, the lack of knowledge regarding flow behavior in a small and extremely irregular space and the deformation of the confining solids, make for a difficult landscape of study. In this paper, a classic theory in the area of contact mechanics, first applied to optics and lenses in contact by Hertz, is used to obtain a simple model of a deforming fracture. The model accounts for elastic deformations of the solids in contact and assumes laminar flow in the created voids. Results are presented and compared to experimental tests carried out by and presented in Gale (1975) .
