Abstract
We present the first experimental results of air-water two-phase flow in an artificial fracture network. They are interpreted by using the Kr-relative permeability concept. It appears that, contrary to two-phase flows in a si ngle fracture, the sum of Kr is of the order of 1. (C) Academie des science s/Elsevier, Paris.
