The last decade has seen a strong increase of research into flows in fractured porous media,
mainly related to subsurface processes but also in materials science and biological …

We present a discussion of the state-of-the-art on the use of discrete fracture networks
(DFNs) for modelling geometrical characteristics, geomechanical evolution and …

Hydraulic fracturing of shale formations in the United States has led to a domestic energy
boom. Currently, water is the only fracturing fluid regularly used in commercial shale oil and …

The prediction of fluid-and moisture-driven crack propagation in deforming porous media
has achieved increasing interest in recent years, in particular with regard to the modeling of …

Abstract dfn W orks is a parallelized computational suite to generate three-dimensional
discrete fracture networks (DFN) and simulate flow and transport. Developed at Los Alamos …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

This work develops new minimization and saddle point principles for the coupled problem of
Darcy–Biot-type fluid transport in porous media at fracture. It shows that the quasi-static …

We describe the most important developments in the application of three theoretical tools to
modeling of the morphology of porous media and flow and transport processes in them. One …

To investigate the influence of geometric characteristics of deformable rough fractures under
confining stresses on the behaviors of non-Darcy flow, four fractured sandstone specimens …
