Numerical Investigation of Liquid Flow Behaviors through Closed Rough Fractures in the Self-Propped Shale Formation

Q Wang, M Chen, J Lv - Energies, 2022 - mdpi.com
The surface morphology of fractures formed by hydraulic fracturing is usually rough. The
roughness of the fracture surface is the main reason the actual fracture conductivity deviates …

M Sharifzadeh, M Javadi - X.-T. Feng, Rock Mechanics and …, 2017 - api.taylorfrancis.com
The hydraulic behavior and associated mechanical, physical, and chemical processes of
geological formations and rock masses are one of the most important aspects of rock …

Darcy's model with optimized permeability distribution for the simulation of Stokes flow and contaminant transport in karst aquifers

MS Jamal, AA Awotunde - Hydrogeology Journal, 2020 - Springer
Simulation of fluid flow in karst aquifers is challenging because of the presence of porous
and free-flow regions within a single aquifer system. One simple but less accurate approach …

Transport Behavior of Resin-Coated Ceramic Proppants in Rough Vertical Fractures

G Wei - 2019 - era.library.ualberta.ca
In hydraulic fracturing, resin-coated ceramic proppants can be added to fracturing fluid as an
agent for propping the fractures. Resin-coated ceramic proppants have several advantages …

Numerical simulations of fluid flow through a single rough walled fracture

A Hosseinian - 2011 - espace.curtin.edu.au
The morphological properties of rock fractures may have a significant influence on their
hydromechanical behaviour. Fracture surface roughness could change the fluid flow regime …
