“…Correlating aperture with length leads to the propensity for longer fractures along fracture set 1 and concentrated fluid flow in that direction. This effect is less pronounced in the constant aperture case because all fractures are given equal weight to conduct flow, and the overall flow distribution within the network reflect the propagation of the boundary conditions into the network structure (Reeves et al 2013;Trullenque et al 2017). In both cases, the maximum permeability does not align perfectly with orientation set 1, because fractures in orientation sets 2 and 4 also contribute to flow.…”
