Fluid-Driven Fractures in Elastic Hydrogels: Propagation and Coalescence
… we focus on a novel experimental exploration of fluid-driven fractures in a brittle hydrogel matrix. Fluid-driven fracturing is a procedure by which a fracture is initiated and propagates due to pressure applied by a fluid introduced inside the fracture. We describe how to construct the …

A generalized finite element method for the simulation of non-planar three-dimensional hydraulic fracture propagation
… materials due to the injection of a viscous fluid. Hydraulic fractures occur both naturally and created deliberately for engineering applications. In the oil and gas industry, it is a preferred method to enhance the recovery of hydrocarbons by creation of permeable pathways. A successful …
