This paper develops a closed-form approximate solution for a penny-shaped hydraulic
fracture whose behaviour is determined by an interplay of three competing physical …

Many numerical modeling techniques have been employed to understand the phenomena
occurring during hydraulic fracturing. Despite the various complex models developed, such …

This study uses an Implicit Level Set Algorithm (ILSA) to model the propagation of planar
hydraulic fractures in situations when their progress is determined by an interplay of fluid …

The goal of this paper is to develop an approximate solution for a propagating plane strain
hydraulic fracture, whose behavior is determined by a combined interplay of fluid viscosity …

The focus of this study is to analyze a parametric space for the problem of a constant height
hydraulic fracture driven by a power-law fluid. The interplay of physical mechanisms related …

Tracer transport in hydraulic fractures is substantially affected by the rock matrix surrounding
them. Nevertheless, there is not yet an expression in literature to address the relationship …

This paper deals with the construction of the tip asymptotes for a hydraulic fracture deflating
in a permeable elastic medium. Specifically, the paper describes the changing nature of the …

The quasi-brittle nature of rocks challenges the basic assumptions of linear hydraulic
fracture mechanics (LHFM): namely, linear elastic fracture mechanics and smooth parallel …

We consider numerical solutions in which the linear elastic response to an opening-or
sliding-mode fracture couples with one or more processes. Classic examples of such …

We quantify the importance of turbulent flow on the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF)
accounting for the addition of friction reducing agents to the fracturing fluid (slickwater fluid) …
