We analyze measurements, conceptual pictures, and mathematical models of flow and
transport phenomena in fractured rock systems. Fractures and fracture networks are key …

Fracture surface morphology significantly affects fluid flow in rock fractures and has attracted
considerable attention in many seepage-related fields. Fluid flow in rough-walled fractures is …

While permeability scaling of fractured media has been so far studied independently at the
fracture‐and network‐scales, we propose a numerical analysis of the combined effect of …

This study provides an evaluation of various modifications of the cubic law, expanding upon
previous work as follows:(1) Experimentally measured flow rates and apertures are the basis …

Coupled shear-flow tests were conducted on two artificial rock fractures with natural rock
fracture characteristics under constant normal loading boundary conditions. Numerical …

This book provides a systematic treatment of the geometrical and transport properties of
fractures, fracture networks, and fractured porous media. It is divided into two major parts …

Shale gas is an important unconventional natural gas resource, but shale has extremely low
permeability. Production of shale gas can be improved by using proppants for hydraulic …

The effects of reactive transport on fracture geometry and fluid flow were investigated
through an integrated experimental and modelling approach. A fractured limestone sample …

Flow channelization is a commonly observed phenomenon in fractured subsurface media
where the flow of fluids is restricted primarily to highly transmissive fracture networks …

Local cubic law (LCL) is one of the most commonly applied physical laws for flow in single
fractures (SF) and fractured media. The foundation of LCL is Darcian flow. This experimental …
