Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide variety of phenomena with applications to many disciplines, ranging from condensed …

Bedrock fracture systems facilitate weathering, allowing fresh mineral surfaces to interact
with corrosive waters and biota from Earth's surface, while simultaneously promoting …

Indeed, determination of groundwater inflow into tunnels, especially in discontinuous rock
masses, is still one of the most challenging issues faced by tunneling experts, which may …

The relationship between in-situ stress and fluid flow in fractured and faulted rock is
examined by using data from detailed analyses of stress orientation and magnitude, fracture …

Hydrogeological variables of a groundwater system, for example, the hydraulic head and
contaminant concentration, vary with space and time. The variability is due to spatial …

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 …

Heterogeneity can be dealt with by defining homogeneous equivalent properties, known as
averaging, or by trying to describe the spatial variability of the rock properties from geologic …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) microstructures are useful for studying the spatial
structures and physical properties of porous media. A number of stochastic reconstructions …

We used borehole televiewer (BHTV) data from four wells within the onshore and offshore
Santa Maria basin, California, to investigate the relationships among fracture distribution …

Fault reactivation during underground mining is a critical problem in coal mines worldwide.
This paper investigates the mining-induced reactivation of faults associated with the main …
