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

Immiscible fluid‐fluid displacement in permeable media is important in many subsurface
processes, including enhanced oil recovery and geological CO2 sequestration. Controlled …

Two-phase flow in fractured media plays an important role in various subsurface processes,
including enhanced oil recovery and geological carbon sequestration. The fluid–fluid …

We develop a pore-scale model of wetting in a single fracture. A variable fracture aperture
distribution is represented as a square lattice of conceptual pores connected by throats. We …

A systematic numerical method has been presented to investigate the constitutive
relationships between two-phase flow properties of horizontal fractures and aperture …

Despite some successful studies of two‐phase or unsaturated flows in ideal smooth‐walled
fractures, the more realistic issues regarding fundamentals of two‐phase interactions in …

In fractured porous media, interactions between immiscible fluid phases within the fractures
place a critical control on system behavior. A key component of the interactions is the …

A systematic method has been proposed to estimate the two-phase flow properties of
horizontal fractures under normal deformation condition. Based on Gaussian aperture …

During reactive fluid flow in saturated fractures, the relative rates of dissolved mineral
transport and local reactions strongly influence local aperture alterations and the resulting …

Fractures are potential pathways for subsurface fluids. In the context of geologic CO2
sequestration, fractures could threaten the security of reservoirs since they are pathways for …
