On the Construction of Geometric Parameters for Preferential Fluid Flow   Information in Fissured Media
  For a fissured medium, we analyze the impact that the geometry of the cracks, has in the phenomenon of preferential fluid flow. Using finite volume meshes we analyze the mechanical energy dissipation due to gravity, curvature of the surface and friction against its walls. We construct parameters depending on the \emph{Geometry} of the surface which are not valid for direct quantitative purposes, but are reliable for relative comparison of mechanical energy dissipation. Such analysis yields \emph{Information} about the preferential flow directions of the medium which, in most of the cases is not deterministic, therefore the respective \emph{Probability Spaces} are introduced. Finally, we present the concept of \emph{Entropy} linked to the geometry of the surface. This notion follows naturally from the random nature of the \emph{Preferential Flow Information.
