Description
In the past two or three decades, fractured rock domains have received increasing attention not only in reservoir engineering and hydrology,
but also in connection with geological isolation of radioactive waste. Locations in both the saturated and unsaturated zones have been
under consideration because such repositories are sources of heat and potential sources of groundwater contamination. Thus, in addition
to the transport of mass of fluid phases in single and multiphase flow, the issues of heat transport and mass transport of components
have to be addressed.
