Dynamic bridging of proppant particles in a hydraulic fracture
TLDR
In this article, a dynamic bridging criterion for the arching and bridging of spherical particles in a 3D suspension flow through a channel with plane walls is proposed. But the authors focus on the 3D motion of particles in fluid and do not consider the effects of friction on the particles.About:

An optimized CFD-DEM method for fluid-particle coupling dynamics analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved CFD-DEM method based on time roundabout increment way is proposed to solve two-phase flow problems in a pipe, although the collision and accumulation of particles can be described in mesoscopic scale.

On the application of simplified rheological models of fluid in the hydraulic fracture problems
TL;DR: In this article, a hydraulic fracture driven by a non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluid is analyzed and the results are post-processed and compared with each other in order to find decisive factors for similarities/dissimilarities.

Lubrication model of suspension flow in a hydraulic fracture with frictional rheology for shear-induced migration and jamming.
TL;DR: A self-consistent model for slurry flow with a constitutive relation for suspension rheology, which is applicable in the entire range of particle volume concentration, from dilute suspension through dense suspension to the close packing limit.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new model and workflow to predict, quantify and mitigate undesired flowback of proppant from created hydraulic fractures, and demonstrated several field cases in which they predict significant proplant flowback and propose options for mitigation.

A radial hydraulic fracture with pressure-dependent leak-off
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the fluid exchange between the crack and ambient porous media as a pressure-dependent process, which allowed the liquid not only to flow out of the fracture but also to leak-in along the region adjacent to the fracture front.

TL;DR: A theoretical examination of the fracturing of rocks by means of pressure applied in boreholes leads to the conclusion that, regardless of whether the fracturing fluid is of the penetrating or non-penetrating type, the fractures produced should be approximately perpendicular to the axis of least stress as mentioned in this paper.

Computer simulation of hydraulic fractures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief historical background of the development of hydraulic fracturing models for use in the petroleum and other industries, and discuss scaling laws and propagation regimes that control the growth of hydraulic fractures from the laboratory to the field scale.

Unifying suspension and granular rheology.
TL;DR: Dense suspension and granular media are unified under a common framework and the results are shown to be compatible with classical empirical models of suspension rheology and provide a clear determination of constitutive laws close to the jamming transition.
