We present a discussion of the state-of-the-art on the use of discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) for modelling geometrical characteristics, geomechanical evolution and …

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

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

Scaling in fracture systems has become an active field of research in the last 25 years
motivated by practical applications in hazardous waste disposal, hydrocarbon reservoir …

The stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) with complex induced-fracture governs dominant
flow rates in unconventional reservoirs. The induced-fracture spacing and aperture greatly …

Measurements are reported of the proton and deuteron spin structure functions g 1 p and g 1
d at beam energies of 29.1, 16.2, and 9.7 GeV, and g 2 p and g 2 d at a beam energy of 29.1 …

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 …

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 …

The permeability evolution of fractal-based two-dimensional discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) during shearing under constant normal stiffness (CNS) boundary conditions is …

Connectivity of high conductivity (K) paths is important because it can lead to channeling, ie
flow along preferential paths, which can reduce travel times very significantly. Nevertheless …
