... for unconventional fracturing. Several lab-scale CFD models were constructed and calibrated using experimental proppant transport data from slot flow tests. Field-scale CFD simulations were performed to evaluate the impact of key parameters on proppant transport and placement, including pumping rate, fracture width...

.... At high background flow rates, the reflected wave amplitude is controlled by perforation friction with minimal sensitivity to fracture properties. The claims above are substantiated by numerical simulations of tube wave propagation and reflection from perforation clusters connected to hydraulic fractures...

In "classical" linear-elastic fracture simulators, the "net pressure" is defined as the difference between fluid pressure in the fracture and an assumed time-constant "closure pressure" at some undefined distance from the fracture face. These models essentially assume a non-penetrating fracture...

... Abstract We developed a propagation algorithm that enables accurate calculation of hydraulic fracture geometry, even in the presence of thin layers and with a relatively coarse crack mesh. Conventionally, hydraulic fracture simulators either add one element at a time (less accurate) or require...
