Investigating spatial heterogeneity within fracture networks using hierarchical clustering and graph distance metrics

<p>Rock fractures organize as networks, exhibiting natural variation in their spatial arrangements. Therefore, identifying, quantifying, and comparing variations in spatial arrangements within network geometries are of interest when explicit fracture representations or discrete fracture networ...
