“…Once fluid saturations, S,,and S , , , in fracture and matrix system are determined, separately, the effective relative permeabilities for the ECM calculations are evaluated using Equation (8) For a 2-D transport in a regular, two-orthogonal, parallel fractures system, Kool and Wu (1991) provide an alternative, approximate correlation for effective dispersivities as, for effective longitudinal dispersivity along the x-direction and for effective transverse dispersivity to the x-direction. These two dispersivities were derived using a two-region type model of transport in an aggregated soil (van Genuchten and Dalton, …”
