It is the pupose of this study to show that the dispersion of particles, transported by a fluid flowing through a system of fissures in rock, can be treated as a special case of the general theory for dispersion, developed by use of the probability theory (DE JOSSELIN DE JONG, 1969).
A case study of the dispersion of a large amount of locally injected particles will first be presented computation wise. It will be computed how the particles are partitioned at each intersection of the fissures, how the subgroups of particles are transported through the fissures and where the subgroups will be located at successive time intervals. The result consists of a distribution of particles at a certain time, T, after injection, with discrete amounts of particles at discrete points.
