Mathematical models of hydraulic fracturing
A review of mathematical models for hydraulic fracturing is presented. Widely used one-, two- and three-dimensional models are considered. Both classical and modern models of hydraulic fracturing are described. Modeling of hydraulic fracturing has a number of significant peculiarities since the equations that describe the processes of hydraulic fracturing are non-linear and strongly interrelated. Analysis of the influence of technological parameters becomes difficult because of these peculiarities. Therefore, some of the processes are usually described simplistically. Advantages and disadvantages of simulation approaches are discussed in the review. The major results obtained by using the described models are included into the article.
