Buoyancy-driven crack propagation: the limit of large fracture toughness [PDF]
, 2007 We study steady vertical propagation of a crack filled with buoyant viscous fluid through an elastic solid with large effective fracture toughness. For a crack fed by a constant flux Q, a non-dimensional fracture toughness K=Kc/(3μQm3/2)1/4 describes the

Moiré interferometry applied to fracture in titanium tubes [PDF]
, 2007 Despite there being a substantial body of evidence to the contrary, moiré interferometry is often regarded - even by some adherents - as a curiosity of the optics lab.

Analysis of the Influence of Hydraulic Fracturing Fluid Velocity on Fracture Propagation
Geofluids, 2023 To reveal the influence of fracturing fluid velocity on hydraulic fracturing fracture propagation, a hydraulic fracturing numerical model was established based on a coalbed methane (CBM) field in the northeast of China.

Complex Fluids and Hydraulic Fracturing [PDF]
Annual Review of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, 2016 Nearly 70 years old, hydraulic fracturing is a core technique for stimulating hydrocarbon production in a majority of oil and gas reservoirs. Complex fluids are implemented in nearly every step of the fracturing process, most significantly to generate and sustain fractures and transport and distribute proppant particles during and following fluid ...

Hydraulic Fracturing‐Induced Seismicity [PDF]
Reviews of Geophysics, 2020 AbstractHydraulic fracturing (HF) is a technique that is used for extracting petroleum resources from impermeable host rocks. In this process, fluid injected under high pressure causes fractures to propagate. This technique has been transformative for the hydrocarbon industry, unlocking otherwise stranded resources; however, environmental concerns make

Beam model for hydraulic fracturing [PDF]
Physical Review B, 1994 We investigate numerically the shape of cracks obtained in hydraulic fracturing at constant pressure using a square-lattice beam model with disorder. We consider the case in which only beams under tension can break, and discuss the conditions under which the resulting cracks may develop fractal patterns.
