Particle transport in fractured geo-energy reservoirs considering the effect of fluid inertia and turbulent flow: A review

Particle-fluid two-phase flows in rock fractures and fracture networks play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing operations, a vital component in unconventional oil and gas extraction. Central to this phenomenon is the transport of proppants, tiny so...
