We analyze measurements, conceptual pictures, and mathematical models of flow and
transport phenomena in fractured rock systems. Fractures and fracture networks are key …

Fracture surface morphology significantly affects fluid flow in rock fractures and has attracted
considerable attention in many seepage-related fields. Fluid flow in rough-walled fractures is …

We investigate the validity of applying the “local cubic law”(LCL) to flow in a fracture
bounded by impermeable rock surfaces. A two‐dimensional order‐of‐magnitude analysis of …

While permeability scaling of fractured media has been so far studied independently at the
fracture‐and network‐scales, we propose a numerical analysis of the combined effect of …

Abstract The classical Local Cubic Law (LCL) generally overestimates flow through real
fractures. We thus developed and tested a modified LCL (MLCL) which takes into account …

Extension fractures in volcanic systems exist on all scales, from microscopic fractures to
large fissures. They play a fundamental role in the movement of fluids and distribution of …

The fracture geometric characteristics (FGC) have considerable influence on fluid flow in the
fractured rock mass. The present work took experimental approaches to investigate the …

Hydrothermal fluids can alter the chemical and physical properties of the materials through
which they pass and can therefore modify the efficiency of fluid circulation. The role of …

The morphology of fractured rock surfaces is studied in terms of their scaling invariance.
Fresh brittle fractures of granite and gneiss were sampled with a mechanical laboratory …

This report describes the fracture-scale mechanisms acting on solute transport in fractured
aquifers under natural-flow conditions. It focuses on low-permeability rocks where advection …
