... analyze the radon migration in fractured rocks. Radon migration in actual fractured rock at an outcrop site is predicted using the model. Introduction Radon and its daughters are the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, which widely exists in fractured media such as rocks (Walsh et al...

... distributions. In this paper, we perform a complete analysis of 3D fracture intersections distribution of various DFN models and investigate how it can be related to the 2D distribution of intersecting virtual outcrops. The DFN models are either fully random (with no correlation between fractures) or defined...

... in the subsurface and challenging to obtain from outcrops. To guide DFN construction, outcrop studies must extract meaningful length data and geomechanical models need to model the range of fracture sizes in 3D, simulate interfaces, and account for cement. fracture characterization complex reservoir...
