TL;DR: A general description of the mathematical and numerical formulations used in modern numerical reactive transport codes relevant for subsurface environmental simulations is presented, along with a selective list of applications that highlight their capabilities and historical development.
Developing a new form of permeability and Kozeny-Carman constant for homogeneous porous media by means of fractal geometry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an analytical expression for the permeability in homogeneous porous media based on the fractal characters of porous media and capillary model, which is expressed as a function of fractal dimensions, porosity and maximum pore size.

The use of discrete fracture networks for modelling coupled geomechanical and hydrological behaviour of fractured rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a discussion of the state-of-the-art on the use of discrete fracture networks (DFNs) for modelling geometrical characteristics, geomechanical evolution and hydromechanical (HM) behaviour of natural fracture networks in rock.

Numerical models and experiments on immiscible displacements in porous media
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of network simulators (100 × 100 and 25 × 25 pores) based on the physical rules of the displacement at the pore scale, and they show the existence of the three basic domains (capillary fingering, viscous fingering and stable displacement) within which the patterns remain unchanged.

Invasion percolation: a new form of percolation theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a new kind of percolation problem is described which differs from ordinary percolations in that it automatically finds the critical points of the system and is called invasion percolating.
