Significant progress has been achieved on radionuclide transport in fractured rocks due to
worldwide urgent needs for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) …

The purpose of this review paper is to present the techniques, advances, problems and
likely future developments in numerical modelling for rock mechanics. Such modelling is …

This paper describes synthetic rock mass (SRM) modeling, a new approach for simulating
the mechanical behavior of jointed rock mass. This technique uses the bonded particle …

A large‐scale investigation of fracture flow was recently conducted in a granite uranium
mine at Fanay‐Augères, France. Its aim was to develop a methodology for the investigation …

A class of fracture intensity measures in one, two, and three dimensions has been defined
that allows for the definition of fracture frequency without requiring reference to specific sets …

The purpose of this CivilZone review paper is to present the techniques, advances,
problems and likely future development directions in numerical modelling for rock …

Scientific understanding of fluid flow in rock fracturesâ€" a process underlying contemporary
earth science problems from the search for petroleum to the controversy over nuclear waste …

This paper describes hierarchical approach to modeling flow in a naturally fractured
formation. Our model is based on calculating the effective permeability of a fractured …

Hydrogeological variables of a groundwater system, for example, the hydraulic head and
contaminant concentration, vary with space and time. The variability is due to spatial …

A numerical procedure to determine the equivalent permeability tensor of a fractured rock is
presented, using a stochastic REV (Representative Elementary Volume) concept that uses …
