NG011
Properties of Fracture Networks and the Flow of Fluids through Discrete Fracture Networks

Session ID#: 162745

Session Description:
The flow of fluids through bedrock takes place primarily through the network of fractures over a broad range of scales. The spatial and temporal properties and patterns of individual fractures and fracture networks are nonlinear and typically scale invariant. This session welcomes abstracts from those conducting research on fracture initiation and growth and the ability of discrete fracture networks to conduct fluid flow over scales ranging from nanometers to the regional scale. We also welcome abstracts from those collecting data on the properties of rock fractures and fluid flow dynamics in the field, in the laboratory, and through numerical modeling.
