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

The purpose of this review paper is to present the techniques, advances, problems and
likely future developments in numerical modelling for rock mechanics. Such modelling is …

This second edition is extensively revised throughout with expanded discussion of modeling
fundamentals and coverage of advances in model calibration and uncertainty analysis that …

A one‐dimensional dual‐porosity model has been developed for the purpose of studying
variably saturated water flow and solute transport in structured soils or fractured rocks. The …

A large‐scale investigation of fracture flow was recently conducted in a granite uranium
mine at Fanay‐Augères, France. Its aim was to develop a methodology for the investigation …

The purpose of this CivilZone review paper is to present the techniques, advances,
problems and likely future development directions in numerical modelling for rock …

Among the current problems that hydrogeologists face, perhaps there is none as
challenging as the characterization of fractured rock (Faybishenko and Benson 2000). This …

This paper experimentally investigates the role of shear processes on the variation of critical
Reynolds number and nonlinear flow through rough‐walled rock fractures. A quantitative …

The evolution of flow pattern along a single fracture and its effects on heat production is a
fundamental problem in the assessments of engineered geothermal systems (EGS). The …

The mechanical and hydraulic properties of many rock masses are affected significantly by
the additional mechanical compliance and fluid conductivity that result from joints, fractures …
