Deformation of a flexible fiber in a viscous flow past an obstacle [PDF]

, 2015
We study the deformation and transport of elastic fibers in a viscous Hele-Shaw flow with curved streamlines. The variations of the global velocity and orientation of the fiber follow closely those of the local flow velocity. The ratios of the curvatures

Complex Fluids and Hydraulic Fracturing [PDF]

, 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 ...

Experimental investigation of proppant clustering in intersected fractures

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2021
This paper investigates the dynamics of proppant agglomerations during flow and transport within fractures intersected at the angles typical for the joint of pre-existing and newly formed fractures.

Investigation on Proppant Placement in Hydraulic Fractures Based on CFD-DEM

Shiyou jixie, 2023
In order to optimize the transport performance of proppant in shale gas reservoirs, the computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method(CFD-DEM)was used to numerically simulate medium-sized rectangular fractures, with gravity, buoyancy, and particle-

Experimental and Numerical Study on Proppant Transport in a Complex Fracture System

Energies, 2020
Slickwater fracturing can create complex fracture networks in shale. A uniform proppant distribution in the network is preferred. However, proppant transport mechanism in the fracture network is still uncertain, which restricts the optimization of sand ...
