6 - Nanoparticles transport in fractured porous media

Abstract

This chapter discusses the modeling of flow fractured porous media. It covers the most common fundamental approaches and presents their physical, mathematical and numerical aspects. Several approaches are introduced including the dual-continuum, boundary conditions, shape factor, and discrete fracture model (DFM). After that, we focus on the DFM for nanoparticle transport in single-phase flow and two-phase flow. Numerical multiscale time-splitting scheme has been developed to solve the DFM model. Finally, the hybrid embedded fracture model has been discussed.
