Abstract
In this Letter, it is shown how the determination of the effective coefficients involved in the macroscopic model for pressure driven and/or Couette flow in a rough fracture can be simplified by solving only one closure problem instead of two as originally reported in Prat et al. (Transp Porous Media 48(3):291–313, 2002. https://doi.org/10.1023/a:1015772525610).
