A review on numerical simulation of proppant transport: Eulerian–Lagrangian views
TL;DR: A review on numerical simulations of proppant transport based on the Eulerian-Lagrangian methods is presented in this paper , where some important mechanisms (e.g., hydrodynamic drag, particle-particle and particle-wall interactions, and gravitational settling) dominating the proplant transport process are introduced and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of machine learning to viscoplastic flow modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a method to construct reduced-order models for duct flows of Bingham media based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to find a low-dimensional approximation to the velocity and artificial neural network to approximate the coefficients of a given solution in the constructed POD basis.

Influence of horizontal control holes on fracture height containment in low permeability layered coal measure gas reservoirs
TL;DR: In this article, a method of excavating horizontal control holes in the barriers to contain the fracture height was proposed, which can effectively prevent the hydraulic fracture propagation in its height within a certain range (about 0-10r from the center of the hole, r is radius of the control hole) and reduce the penetration depth of the barrier.

Journal ArticleDOI
The lift on a small sphere in a slow shear flow
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a sphere moving through a very viscous liquid with velocity V relative to a uniform simple shear, the translation velocity being parallel to the streamlines and measured relative to streamline through the centre, experiences a lift force 81·2μVa2k½/v½ + smaller terms perpendicular to the flow direction, which acts to deflect the particle towards the streamline moving in the direction opposite to V.

The Penetration of a Fluid into a Porous Medium or Hele-Shaw Cell Containing a More Viscous Liquid
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a flow is possible in which equally spaced fingers advance steadily at very slow speeds, such that behind the tips of the advancing fingers the widths of the two columns of fluid are equal.
