Anomalous transport on regular fracture networks: Impact of conductivity heterogeneity and mixing at fracture intersections

We investigate transport on regular fracture networks that are characterized by heterogeneity in hydraulic conductivity. We discuss the impact of conductivity heterogeneity and mixing within fracture intersections on particle spreading. We show the emergence of non-Fickian transport due to the inter...
