Among the current problems that hydrogeologists face, perhaps there is none as
challenging as the characterization of fractured rock (Faybishenko and Benson 2000). This …

Significant progress in hydrology, especially in subsurface flow and solute transport, has
been made over the last 35 years because of sustained interest in underground nuclear …

The evolution of flow pattern along a single fracture and its effects on heat production is a
fundamental problem in the assessments of engineered geothermal systems (EGS). The …

The results of three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes (NS) and Stokes simulations and two‐
dimensional local cubic law (LCL) simulations of fluid flow through single rough‐walled …

Experimental observations and theoretical studies over the last 10 years or so have
demonstrated that flow channeling or preferred flow paths is a common phenomenon in …

In enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), the natural permeability of deep rocks is normally
not high enough and needs to be increased. Permeability increase can be achieved through …

Thirteen natural rock profiles (Barton and Choubey, 1977) are analyzed for their fractal
properties. Most of the profiles were found to approximate fractal curves but some also …

This study provides an evaluation of various modifications of the cubic law, expanding upon
previous work as follows:(1) Experimentally measured flow rates and apertures are the basis …

We show that dominant aspects of chemical (particle) transport in fracture networks—non-
Gaussian propagation—result from subtle features of the steady flow-field distribution …

It is still a challenging task to explain the uncertainty of the production of fractured
geothermal reservoirs by using a parallel plate model without considering the variable …
