This study investigates the impacts of surface roughness on the nonlinear fluid flow through
three-dimensional (3D) self-affine rock fractures, whose original surface roughness is …

Effective storage and containment of injected fluids, over a range of spatial and temporal
scales, is reliant upon the sealing capacity of the lithologies overlying geological stores. Low …

The flow behavior of fluids in nanoporous unconventional gas reservoirs is a multiphysics
process making the mathematical modelling of such reservoirs challenging. Several vital …

Two‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes flow and transport simulations are conducted for a 15‐cm
long fracture mapped via X‐ray computed tomography.(1) The actual fracture with irregular …

A permeability estimation of a single rough fracture remains challenging and has attracted
broad attention because of its fundamental importance. This study examines the effects of …

Two‐dimensional flow and transport simulations are conducted for a 15‐cm‐long fracture
mapped via X‐ray computed tomography. The simulations consider either Navier‐Stokes …

Fractures play an important role in reservoir engineering as they dominate the fluid flow in
the reservoir. All evidence suggests that rarely can one model flow and transport in a …

Single-phase permeability k has intensively been investigated over the past several
decades by means of experiments, theories and simulations. Although the effect of surface …

Activated natural fractures, poorly-propped and un-propped secondary hydraulic fractures
may serve as the connection between reservoir fluids and the main hydraulic fractures (ie …

Cleat networks dominate the migration of coalbed methane (CBM), which is assembled by
cleats of different type following special configuration and possessing rough, self-affine …
