A radial hydraulic fracture driven by a Herschel–Bulkley fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of fluid yield stress on the propagation of a radial fracture in a permeable reservoir is analyzed. But the authors assume that the fracture is driven by the point source fluid injection with a constant volumetric rate and the fracture propagation condition follows the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics.

Predicting the time-dependent irreversible rheological behavior of oil well cement slurries

TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive model is proposed to describe the rheological behavior of oil well cement pastes, which is capable of predicting time dependence and irreversibility caused by the continuous hydration process that occurs in oil well-cement pastes during cementing operations.

Experimental investigation on backflow of power-law fluids in planar fractures

TL;DR: In this paper, the backflow of a non-Newtonian fluid in a single flat-walled fracture of planar geometry is modeled as an integrodifferential problem that generally admits a closed-form solution, albeit implicit for some quantities.

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.
