A stochastic analysis of macroscopic dispersion in fractured media

A stochastic modeling technique has been developed to investigate mass transport in a network of discrete fractures. The model is based on the repetitive generation of realizations of a fracture network from probability distributions, describing the fracture geometry, and on a solution for mass transport within each network, using a particle‐tracking technique. The system we work with consists of two orthogonal fracture sets of finite length, …
