Particle-fluid flow and transport within rough fractures

Proppant injection is an important part of a hydraulic fracturing programs in which fluid-particle slurry is injected into rock fractures. Injected particles are lodged between fracture surfaces during wall close-in thereby propping open the fracture, improving connectivity and production. This pape...
