Assessment of long term-performance of geologic repositories requires simulation of flow through heterogeneous geologic formations. Effect on flow field of discontinuities such as fracture zones, in such media is of interest to not only waste management but also in petroleum engineering and water resources development. In this paper, a technique of deriving mass balance equations in the presence of fractures is discussed. Compared to full representation of fractures, the proposed technique provides coarser resolution of the flow field but it is relatively computationally efficient. Two examples of its application are also provided.
