The fluid flow in fractured porous media plays a significant role in the characteristic/assessment of deep underground reservoirs such as CO 2 sequestration [1-3], enhanced oil recovery [4,5] and geothermal energy development [6,7]. Many methods, including laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, and many models including the discrete fracture network (DFN) model [8][9][10], the channeling network (CN) model [11][12][13] and the dual-porosity model [14,15], have been employed to investigate fluid flow in fractured porous media. The early studies commonly assumed that fluid flow obeys the cubic law and that fluid flow is in the linear flow regime [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], whereas recent studies also investigated the nonlinear flow through rock fractures/fracture networks [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. However, due to the complex and uncertain geometric properties of rock masses deep underground, extensive studies on the hydraulic properties of fractured porous media and engineering applications are still needed.Therefore, we are handling a Special Issue (SI) of Processes on fluid flow in fractured porous media
