Tracer transport in fractured porous media : Homogenization, dimension reduction, and simulation of a coupled system of adsorption-diffusion-convection equations

We propose derivations of several models of adsorption-convection-diffusion-type describing  transport in fractured porous media and simulate numerically some of them. As starting point, we consider a basic scenario where the tracer (i.e. the chemical substance of interest) is supposed to cross an heterogeneous porous media made of a regular part and a fissure. The fissure is in our case a straight thin layer fracture. We focus exclusively on reducing the dimension of the fracture to a line, while aiming to derive the correct limit equations and transmission conditions. We employ formal two-scale homogenization asymptotics to derive reduced effective models. The proposed reduced effective models can become useful tools for the engineering community as they can be approximated easily numerically.
