This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

The results of experiments using radial and unidirectional flow in a carefully described
single rough aperture are reported and compared with numerical predictions. Aperture …

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 …

The permeability of a three-dimensional network of polygonal fractures is determined by
triangulating the network and solving the two-dimensional Darcy equation in each fracture …

The uneven flow distribution observed in a migration experiment in the Stripa research mine
is analyzed with a discrete fracture network model. Data on the measured inflow distribution …

A new methodology is presented to determine the representative elementary volume (REV)
size and three-dimensional (3-D) hydraulic conductivity tensor for a fractured rock mass …

An approach is established to evaluate the 2-D permeability tensor of naturally fractured
rock masses by using modified UDEC¶. Based on the superposition principle, directional …

This study presents a hydromechanical model, finite-discrete element method with fluid flow
in three dimensions (FDEM-flow3D), that can simulate three-dimensional hydraulic …
