Reduced‐Order Models Unravel the Joint Impact of Aperture Heterogeneity and Shear‐Thinning Rheology on Fracture‐Scale Flow Metrics

Abstract Subsurface industrial operations often make use of complex engineered fluids. In fractured media, the hydraulic behavior of a geological fracture is affected by the shear‐thinning (ST) rheology of such fluids, depending on the imposed pressure gradient. Besides, owing to the stochastic natu...
