Over the last 30 years, discrete fracture network (DFN) modeling has been increasingly
utilized in various practical applications in geoengineering and geosciences. The geometric …

We study an ad hoc extension of the lattice Boltzmann method that allows the simulation of
non-Newtonian fluids described by generalized Newtonian models. We extensively test the …

Fracture networks play a more significant role in conducting fluid flow and solute transport in
fractured rock masses, comparing with that of the rock matrix. Accurate estimation of the …

This paper is devoted to fractal continuum hydrodynamics and its application to model fluid
flows in fractally permeable reservoirs. Hydrodynamics of fractal continuum flow is …

A volume averaging approach is used to estimate the porous media permeability. Contrary
to traditional methods that rely on solving the Navier–Stokes equations for laminar flow, this …

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 …

In fractures where surface fluctuations are large compared to their aperture (narrow
fractures), the flow is forced to move in tortuous paths that produce additional viscous friction …

The permeability anisotropy that results from a shear displacement between the
complementary self‐affine walls of a rough fracture is investigated. Experiments in which a …

The effect on the transport properties of a fracture of a shear displacement u→ between its
complementary surfaces is investigated experimentally and numerically. The shear …

This paper reviews the main features of the transport properties of single fractures. Particular
attention is paid to fractures in geological materials which often display a roughness …
