Excerpt

In fractured rocks of low/negligible matrix permeability, fluid flow and mass transport dominantly occur within the connected fractures (Boutt et al. 2006). An accurate understanding of fluid flow and solute migration through fracture networks in rocks is a critical issue in many applications, such as underground nuclear waste repositories, CO2 sequestration, and enhanced geothermal systems. …
