Coupled 3-d numerical simulation of proppant transport and fluid flow in hydraulic fracturing
… of slurry injection, fluid flow, fluid leak-off, proppant transport, proppant settling and interaction between fluid and proppant particles. In this study, the focus is on fluid and proppant motion within hydraulic fractures. The effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing treatment is highly dependent …
