Liu R., Jiang Y. (eds.) Fluid Flow in Fractured Porous Media: Volume 1

MDPI, 2019. — 580 p.The fluid flow in fractured porous media plays a significant role on the characteristic/assessment of deep underground reservoirs, such as CO2 sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, and geothermal energy development. In recent years, many methods including laboratory experiment, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation have been employed to investigate fluid flow in fractured porous media. However, due to the complex and uncertain geometric properties of rock masses in deep underground, deep studies on the fluid flow in fractured porous media such as permeability prediction and/or nonlinear flow are still needed.
This Special Issue on “Fluid Flow in Fractured Porous Media” aims at presenting recent advances in fluid flow in fractured porous media. We invite you to submit comprehensive review papers and original articles. Topics include, but are not limited to:
Two-phase flow in rock fractures
Nonlinear flow regimes in complex fracture networks
Fractal-based approach to study fluid flow
Coupled shear-flow processes in fractures
New numerical simulation methods of water-rock interactions
