Various geoscientific processes in the shallow subsurface experience a temperature
difference between the solid and the liquid or gaseous phase. Prominent examples include …

Heterogeneous fracture aperture distribution, dictated by surface roughness, mechanical
rock and fracture properties, and effective stress, limits the predictive capabilities of many …

Hydraulic aperture (eh) which is independent of inertial effect has been widely used as an
important parameter to study the geometric properties of single fractures in previous studies …

Fractures significantly alter the permeability characteristics of the natural porous media,
especially for the multilayered porous medium system. The most direct and effective …

The stress sensitivity of coal seams with different fracture structures affects gas migration
