This study explores how the topology-based measure of connectivity of a three-dimensional
discrete fracture network (DFN) can be used to predict flow channelization, a commonly …

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

Understanding mechanistic causes of non‐Fickian transport in fractured media is important
for many hydrogeologic processes and subsurface applications. This study elucidates the …
