This book investigates the geometrical and transport properties of fractured porous media to establish a systematic framework for understanding fracture networks. The authors, Jean-François Thovert, Pierre M. Adler, and Valeri V. Mourzenko, utilize numerical data and dimensionless density to rationalize complex physical phenomena. Their work provides a rigorous analytical approach to predicting percolation thresholds and permeability in various geological and synthetic fracture systems.

Experts recognize this text as a specialized reference for researchers in fluid mechanics and porous media physics. Readers frequently note the high level of mathematical rigor and the technical density of the prose, which is intended for an audience with a strong background in engineering or geophysics.
