Selecting appropriate governing equations for fluid flow in fractured rock masses is of
special importance for estimating the permeability of rock fracture networks. When the flow …

Heterogeneity across a broad range of scales in geologic porous media often manifests in
observations of non-Fickian or anomalous transport. While traditional anomalous transport …

Fractured rocks in the subsurface are ubiquitous, and the dynamics of mass transfer in
fractured rocks plays an important role in understanding the problem in engineering geology …

We characterize how different fracture size‐transmissivity relationships influence flow and
transport simulations through sparse three‐dimensional discrete fracture networks. Although …

Fracture networks play a more significant role in conducting fluid flow and solute transport in
fractured rock masses, comparing with that of the rock matrix. Accurate estimation of the …

We report the emergence of anomalous (non-Fickian) transport through a rough-walled
fracture as a result of increasing normal stress on the fracture. We show that the origin of this …

We develop a continuous time random walk (CTRW) approach for the evolution of
Lagrangian velocities in steady heterogeneous flows based on a stochastic relaxation …

Flow channelization is a commonly observed phenomenon in fractured subsurface media
where the flow of fluids is restricted primarily to highly transmissive fracture networks …

We incorporate observations of real fracture aperture variability observed in laboratory
experiments into an ensemble of three‐dimensional discrete fracture network (DFN) …

We study how the interplay between fracture aperture heterogeneity and tracer injection
mode controls fluid flow and tracer transport in three‐dimensional (3D) discrete fracture …
