FraCluster
Fracture network connectivity is the key to understanding flow and transport
in fractured and heterogeneous rock masses. FraCluster provides a powerful
set of tools for quantitative analysis of fracture network connectivity.
FraCluster carries out the following analyses on FracWorks discrete feature
network (DFN) models:

FraCluster is implemented as a Windows95/NT 32-bit application. The primary
input to FraCluster is a specified FracWorks fracture
network. For tributary drainage volume analysis, a well or well field geometry
must also be specified. FraCluster analyses are discussed at the hyperlinks
provided below.
