Fracture-matrix Interaction

Fracture-Matrix Interaction is a hydrogeological process in which fluid and solute exchange occur between fractures and the surrounding porous matrix in fractured rock systems, distinguished by the contrast in permeability and storage properties that govern transient flow and transport dynamics.
