Enhancing the production of tight sandstone gas well through fuzzy-ball fluid temporary plugging with diverting fractures and water cutting after refracturing in one operation
Michael Urselmann,Ergün Taşkın +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , a fuzzy-ball temporary plugging fluid (FTPF) with diverting fractures and water cutting after refracturing in one operation was developed. But the authors did not consider the impact of water invasion on the gas-producing channels, preventing high gas productivity.

An efficient algorithm of solution for the flow of generalized Newtonian fluid in channels of simple geometries
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient algorithm of stationary flow of generalized Newtonian fluid in a thin channel is proposed that includes a flexible procedure for a continuous approximation of the apparent viscosity by means of elementary functions combined with analytical integration of the governing equations.

Effects of nonuniform initial stress state on apparent fracture toughness
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the nonuniform stress state in the vicinity of the fracture tip and its impact on apparent fracture toughness and concluded that the fracture may take an ellipsoidal form (aspect ratio departs from unity) as a result of interactions with anisotropic distribution of initial stresses, which leads to non-uniform growth in longitudinal and vertical directions.

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.
