Abstract

In modeling of solute transport through fracture-dominant media (fracture net- work), the percolation method has shown advantages over other classical ap- proaches in that it provides universal laws that govern the geometrical and phys- ical properties of a system, irrespective of the local configuration. In an effort to assess the utilities of the percolation method, a benchmark analysis is presented comparing radial transport results between the percolation and a semi-analytical method. The comparison is intended also to evaluate potential errors for the calculation of solute transport through the fracture network if a method for the homogeneous media is used. 1 Introduction The stud
