As with other reservoir types permeability is a key controlling factor for gas migration in
coalbed methane reservoirs. The absolute permeability of coal reservoirs changes …

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

Physical heterogeneities are prevalent features of fracture systems and significantly impact
transport processes in aquifers across different spatiotemporal scales. Upscaling solute …

Fluid flow through rock joints is commonly described by the parallel plate model where the
volume flow rate varies as the cube of the joint aperture. However, deviations from 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 results of experiments using radial and unidirectional flow in a carefully described
single rough aperture are reported and compared with numerical predictions. Aperture …

The results of three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes (NS) and Stokes simulations and two‐
dimensional local cubic law (LCL) simulations of fluid flow through single rough‐walled …

Karst Systems deal with the question of how the subsurface drainage system, typical of Karst
areas develops from its initial state to maturity. Equal attention is given to physical, chemical …

On the basis of a review of recent theoretical and experimental studies of flow through
fractured rocks, we have studied the fluid flow and solute transport in a tight fractured …

A complete treatment of the theory and practice of groundwater engineering, The Handbook
of Groundwater Engineering, Second Edition provides a current and detailed review of how …
