The hydraulic and mechanical coupling characteristics of fracture networks under normal stress and shear stress were studied in this paper. The hydraulic and mechanical coupling model of the fracture network comprehensively considers the normal stress, shear stress, seepage pressure and roughness characteristics. Based on the boundary conditions and reasonable assumptions, COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to develop the hydraulic and mechanical coupling finite element model of the fracture network with different intersection points under normal stress and shear stress, focusing on the study of the effect of normal stress and shear stress on the fracture permeability. The degree of permeability change caused by the normal stress and shear stress is different. The shear stress has a significant influence on the fracture permeability, and when the normal stress is low, the relationship between the fracture permeability and shear stress can be described by a linear relationship. Then, the influence of the number of intersection points in the fracture network on the average fracture width, average water pressure, average seepage velocity and seepage passage of the fractured rock mass was analyzed. The number of intersections in the fracture network has little influence on the average fracture gap width and average water pressure but has a great influence on the flow velocity. The analysis in this paper is very helpful to understand the seepage characteristics in rough fractures under normal stress and shear stress.
