Transport and dispersion of particles in visco-plastic fluids
This thesis focuses on development of a model to predict “spreading” of the solids (i.e. proppant) fraction during the fracturing operation. We develop a 1D model that allows us to estimate dispersion of solid particles along a vertical pipe in a fully turbulent flow of a shear thinning yield str...
