Nearly 70 years old, hydraulic fracturing is a core technique for stimulating hydrocarbon
production in a majority of oil and gas reservoirs. Complex fluids are implemented in nearly …

This review concentrates on the fluctuations of the velocities of sedimenting spheres, and on
the structural instability of a suspension of settling fibers. For many years, theoretical …

The third edition of Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids provides
comprehensive coverage of the scientific foundations and the latest advances in particle …

Abstract Systems made by particles in viscoelastic liquids are ubiquitous in a variety of
industrial and biological applications. Much work has been done in the last half-century in …

The understanding of hydrodynamic forces around particles, drops, or bubbles moving in
Newtonian liquids is modestly mature. It is possible to obtain predictions of the attractive …

ResFrac is a combined hydraulic fracturing, reservoir, and hydraulic fracturing simulator. It
describes multiphase fluid flow (black oil or compositional), proppant transport, transport of …

We present a comprehensive 3D numerical study of particles with imposed velocities
relative to the local bulk flow (termed “slip velocities”) in a viscoelastic shear flow. We …

Suspension sedimentation in fluids with shear-thinning properties is of interest in several
industrial operations, such as oil and gas exploration. This paper offers new information …

We present a three-dimensional reservoir, wellbore, and hydraulic fracturing simulator with
the following capabilities:(1) compositional fluid model,(2) multiphase flow,(3) thermal,(4) …

An efficient immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) is proposed for fully
resolved simulations of suspended solid particles in viscoelastic flows. Stress LBM based on …
