“…This is attributed to the different flow geometry (high variation of aperture field) and smaller tortuosity in rough fractures. Given the displacement patterns are highly sensitive to fracture roughness [ Babadagli et al ., , ] and wettability [ Chaudhary et al ., ; Holtzman and Segre , ; Trojer et al ., ; Jung et al ., ; Zhao et al ., ], the phase diagram just provides a qualitative representation of the displacement patterns [ Zhang et al ., ; Yamabe et al ., ]. Zhang et al .…”

“…The fluid‐fluid displacement in rough‐walled rock fractures, on the other hand, has also been a topic of extensive research. Most research efforts were dedicated to the fluid occupancy and invasion morphology of one phase displacement by another [ Fernández et al ., ; Amundsen et al ., ; Glass et al ., ; Neuweiler et al ., ; Bergslien and Fountain , ; Karpyn et al ., ; Haugen et al ., ; Babadagli et al ., ], and the flow patterns/structures during the simultaneous flow of two fluids and the macroscopic hydraulic properties [ Frette et al ., ; Fourar and Bories , ; Persoff and Pruess , ; Liu et al ., ; Detwiler et al ., ; Chen and Horne , ; Detwiler , ; Alturki et al ., ; Yang et al ., ; Babadagli et al ., ; Ye et al ., ].

“…The transport characteristic of multiphase flow in porous media is governed by pore space characteristics, e.g., pore size distribution, the roughness and wettability of pore inner surface, tortuosity, the nonuniformity of pore cross section, and connectivity [9,[26][27][28][29]. Compared with the empirical and statistical models, the fractal model is easier to simulate the effect of pore size distribution and pore tortuosity on the permeability of porous media.…”

“…This is suspected of oversimplification, which ignores the effect of the roughness of pore inner surface and the nonuniformity of pore cross section on the transport of multiphase flow. Babadagli et al [28,29] have shown that the roughness of the pore inner surface plays an important role in the endpoint of relative permeability curves and in determining the shape of curves. More research on roughness can be found in the literature [31][32][33].…”

“…In such case, the conductivity of the fractures calculated using the cubic law will be overestimated [15][16][17]. In addition, natural rock fractures are often characteristic of rough walls, intersections, and asperity contacts, which make the fluid flow process even more complex and difficult to accurately describe [18][19][20][21][22]. Therefore, a thorough understanding of Relationships between / 0 and Re (after [23]).…”
