Non-Fickian Solute Transport in Rough-Walled Fractures: The Effect of Contact Area

Non-Fickian Solute Transport in Rough-Walled Fractures: The Effect of Contact Area

The influence of contact area, caused by normal deformation, on fluid flow and solute transport through three-dimensional (3D) rock fractures is investigated. Fracture surfaces with different Hurst exponents (<i>H</i>) were generated numerically using the modified successive random addit...
