Fluid flow in fractured porous media is a research area of paramount importance in addressing environmental, energy and infrastructure challenges. The complex geometry of fractures and the ...

Fluid flow in porous media encompasses a diverse range of phenomena that are critical to understanding processes such as groundwater transport, oil recovery, and subsurface pollutant dispersion.

The two major flow mechanisms in the vadose zone are uniform flow and preferential flow. Both types of flow occur often simultaneously, but have considerably different consequences for water flow and ...

Previous chapters have addressed fracture geometry, physical and geomechanical properties of single fractures, fracture detection, and the interpretation of hydraulic and tracer tests. All of these ...
