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 …

Today it is still common practice to analyse pumping tests assuming Theissian conditions,
resulting in interpretations that are at best grossly approximated, if not erroneous, with …

Preferential flow path connectivity is generally cited to explain scaling effects in hydraulic
properties [Hsieh, PA, 1998. Scale effects in fluid flow through fractured geological media …

Anomalous diffusion in various complex systems abounds in nature and spans multiple
space and time scales. Canonical characterization techniques that rely upon mean squared …

Quantification of the recharge in fractured aquifers is particularly challenging because of the
multiscale heterogeneity and the range of temporal scales involved. Here we investigate the …

The generation method of three-dimensional fractal discrete fracture network (FDFN) based
on multiplicative cascade process was developed. The complex multi-scale fracture system …

In hydrogeology, the pressure front diffusion equation is crucial for the interpretation of
pumping tests. It describes the displacement around the pumping well of the pressure front …

Matrix porosity is relatively easy to measure and estimate compared to fracture porosity. On
the other hand, fracture porosity is highly heterogeneous and very difficult to measure and …

In the numerical simulations of highly fractured geological formations, discrete approaches
are considerably promising and adequate to describe fluid flow in detail. However, the …

Cross‐hole fluid injection tests were performed on shallow (0.5 km depth) crustal fault zones
to characterize their internal flow structures on scales of 3–30 m. The data were acquired at …
