Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow: Contemporary Understanding and Applications

Abstract

How can fractures that are significant hydraulic conductors or barriers be located, identified, and characterized? How do flow and transport occur in fracture systems? How can changes in fracture systems be predicted and controlled? With a clear, well‐stated focus, Rock Fractures and Fluid Flow seeks to address these questions by combining into one work the interdependencies of the disciplines needed to get at the answers.
