Density-inertia coupling drives solute trapping at vertical fracture intersections
Density-driven flow and fluid inertia jointly shape solute transport in fracture networks, with implications for hydrogeology and subsurface engineering. While their individual effects are well recognized, their coupled impact remains underexplored. W
