Numerical Investigation on Proppant–Water Mixture Transport in Slot under High Reynolds Number Conditions

Water hydraulic fracturing involves pumping low viscosity fluid and proppant mixture into the artificial fracture under a high pumping rate. In that high Reynolds number conditions (HRNCs, <i>Re</i> > 2000), the turbulence effect is one of the key factors affecting proppant transporta...
