• Impact of coating development on the hydraulic and transport properties in argillaceous limestone fracture (2007, background): “So far, experimental and numerical investigations regarding fracture properties have mostly focused on the description of the surface roughness and fracture aperture, which both control the head losses and determine the possible localization of flow [Brown, 1987; Brush and Thomson, 2003; Dijk et al.”
• Modification of the Local Cubic Law of fracture flow for weak inertia, tortuosity, and roughness (2015, result): “Not only do our results agree with previous studies showing overestimation of bulk flow rates [Zimmerman and Yeo, 2000; Zimmerman et al., 2004], the results also highlight the overestimation in local flow rates, with only a minority of nLCL below 0 (Figure 10a).”
