Fracture-matrix Diffusion

Fracture-Matrix Diffusion is a hydrodynamic transport phenomenon in fractured reservoirs wherein fluid or solute mass transfers from the fracture network into the surrounding porous matrix primarily by molecular diffusion, distinguished from advective flow by its reliance on concentration gradients across the fracture-matrix interface.
