Fracture Intersection Flow

Fracture Intersection Flow is a hydrodynamic phenomenon in fractured reservoirs whereby fluid flow is governed by the connectivity and interaction of intersecting fractures, distinguished by the redistribution of flow fluxes and pressure gradients at fracture junctions that significantly influence overall reservoir permeability and transport behavior.
