Evaluation of numerical schemes for capturing shock waves in modeling proppant transport in fractures
Abstract In petroleum engineering, the transport phenomenon of proppants in a fracture caused by hydraulic fracturing is captured by hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). The solution of this kind of PDEs may encounter smooth transitions, or there can be large gradients of the field vari...
