Fracture Network Permeability

Fracture Network Permeability is a geophysical property representing the capacity of a connected system of natural fractures within a rock mass to transmit fluid flow through its void spaces and interconnected pathways, distinguished from matrix permeability by its dependence on fracture density, orientation, connectivity, and aperture distribution.
