Fractal Roughness-Controlled Solute Transport and Apparent Local Retention in Sheared Rock Fractures Under Different Hydraulic Conditions
Solute transport in rough fractures is governed by surface geometry, shear-induced aperture redistribution, and hydraulic conditions. This study presents a comparative three-dimensional numerical investigation of conservative solute transport in three individual self-affine fracture realizations with JRC values of 9.43...
