Although hydraulic fracturing is a mature technology that has been used commercially since
the late 1940s, the development of unconventional hydrocarbon fields with the combination …

Particle-fluid two-phase flows in rock fractures and fracture networks play a pivotal role in
determining the efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing operations, a vital …

Solids dispersion is an important part of hydraulic fracturing, both in helping to understand
phenomena such as tip screen-out and spreading of the pad, and in new process variations …

An asymptotic model of a hydraulic-fracture flow of a sedimenting concentrated suspension
is formulated on the basis of the two-fluid approach with account of transverse particle …

We examine the effect of gravity and (rotational) inertia on the inertial focusing of spherical
non-neutrally buoyant particles suspended in flow through curved microfluidic ducts. In the …

Overflushing to displace the fracturing treatment away from the wellbore and into the fracture
is common in multistage completions of horizontal wells in unconventional formations, but it …

Continuum models of media with zero pressure are widely used in various branches of
physics and mechanics, including studies of a dilute dispersed phase in multiphase flows. In …

Overflushing is a common practice in multistage completions of horizontal wells in
unconventional formations. It consists in displacing the suspension by a thin fluid, away from …

The classical stability theory for multiphase flows, based on an analysis of one (most
unstable) mode, is generalized. A method for studying an algebraic (non-modal) instability of …

Particle migration in a horizontal flow of dilute suspension through a vertical slot with porous
walls is studied using the two-continua approach. The lateral migration is induced by two …
