Abstract
Fractures typically contain multiscale surface features and can impact the fluid flow within. Direct numerical simulations across a wide range of Reynolds number have been carried out on surfaces with roughness details of different length scales. The overestimation in permeability due to surface approximation is quantified, leading to a unified function combining the effects of fracture aperture and surface roughness features.
