Fractured rocks in the subsurface are ubiquitous, and the dynamics of mass transfer in
fractured rocks plays an important role in understanding the problem in engineering geology …

Fluid flow through filled rock fractures is relevant to numerous engineering applications and
geophysical processes. However, a proper understanding of the flow behaviors in filled …

This study experimentally and numerically investigated the influence of the inertial effect of
fluid flow on the non-Darcy coefficient (β). The results showed that the non-Darcy coefficient …

Previous studies pointed out that the hydraulic aperture (bh) is solely dependent on the
geometric features of a fracture, independent of fluid inertia effects. Here we present an …

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 …

Water flow through fractured rocks in high-temperature settings is relevant to many
subsurface geo-energy engineering projects including geothermal energy extraction …

Fluid flow in rock fractures is described by Darcy's law and its nonlinear extension, the
Forchheimer equation in form of a quadratic polynomial. Since the nonlinearity of the …

Subsurface substance migration in the fractured rock aquifer is mainly controlled by
fractures, and prediction of solute transport in fractures is important to many geophysical …

Fundamental understanding of solute transport behaviors in rock fractures is of great
importance to many hydrogeological processes. The fate of fluid-borne solutes is inherently …

The non‐Darcy flow behavior in unfilled and fully filled rough fractures has been
investigated thoroughly for decades. Natural fractures usually be partially filled with porous …
