Abstract dfn W orks is a parallelized computational suite to generate three-dimensional
discrete fracture networks (DFN) and simulate flow and transport. Developed at Los Alamos …

A major use of DFN models for industrial applications is to evaluate permeability and flow
structure in hardrock aquifers from geological observations of fracture networks. The …

We characterize how different fracture size‐transmissivity relationships influence flow and
transport simulations through sparse three‐dimensional discrete fracture networks. Although …

Fractured rock is the host or foundation for innumerable engineered structures related to
energy, water, waste, and transportation. Characterizing, modeling, and monitoring fractured …

Although hydraulic fracturing has been used for natural gas production for the past couple of
decades, there are significant uncertainties about the underlying mechanisms behind the …

The discrete fracture network (DFN) model is a method to mimic discrete pathways for fluid
flow through a fractured low-permeable rock mass, and may be combined with particle …

Understanding the fluid flow and solute transport mechanisms in fractured rocks is essential
for many geoengineering applications. In this study, the fluid flow and solute transport in a …

We investigate large‐scale particle motion and solute breakthrough in sparse three‐
dimensional discrete fracture networks characterized by power law distributed fracture …

We investigate how the choice of injection mode impacts transport properties in kilometer‐
scale three‐dimensional discrete fracture networks (DFN). The choice of injection mode …

Flow and transport in three‐dimensional discrete fracture networks with internal variability in
aperture and permeability are investigated using a numerical model. The analysis is …
