Comparison of Surface Roughness and Transport Processes of Sawed, Split and Natural Sandstone Fractures

In single fractures, dispersion is often linked to the roughness of the fracture surfaces and the resulting local aperture distribution. To experimentally investigate the effects of diverse fracture types and surface morphologies in sandstones, three fractures were considered: those generated by saw...
