- Additional information
- Provides a solution to the long-standing problem of upscaling discrete fracture flow, with broad scientific, engineering and industrial applications. The 2D method is generalizable to 3D data. The work received the 2015 Rock Mechanics Research award of the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA; http://armarocks.org/documents/awards/2015_recipients.pdf) and was a key factor in Lei's receipt of the ISRM 2019 Rocha Medal (https://www.britishgeotech.org/news/2018/12/bga-member-dr-qinghua-lei-wins-isrm-rocha-medal).
