Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional hydrocarbon resources involves the sequential
injection of a high-pressure, particle-laden fluid with varying pH's to make commercial …

A novel numerical method was developed to evaluate the effect of the aperture
heterogeneity of individual fractures on fluid flow through three-dimensional discrete fracture …

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

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 incorporate observations of real fracture aperture variability observed in laboratory
experiments into an ensemble of three‐dimensional discrete fracture network (DFN) …

Groundwater flow in sparsely fractured crystalline rocks is highly channelized due to the
existing complex hydrogeological heterogeneity in fracture networks. The impacts of …

We study how the interplay between fracture aperture heterogeneity and tracer injection
mode controls fluid flow and tracer transport in three‐dimensional (3D) discrete fracture …

Understanding mechanistic causes of non‐Fickian transport in fractured media is important
for many hydrogeologic processes and subsurface applications. This study elucidates the …

We report on flow channeling and anomalous transport behaviors in a granite tensile
fracture subject to increasing surface contacts. In this study, numerical experiments are …
