Numerical investigation of fluid flow in fracture junctions with consideration to effect of fracture morphology

Abstract Because the fracturing fluid flow at fracture junctions directly affects the proppant distribution in fracture networks, it is very important to quantitatively investigate the fluid flow in fracture junctions. In this study, the fluid flow in a laboratory‐size fracture junction was investig...
