Emergence of anomalous transport in stressed rough fractures

PK Kang, S Brown, R Juanes - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2016 - Elsevier
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 …
