Submitted by Kan Wu on Wed, 07/27/2011 - 22:31 How to calculate the pressure distribution in hydraulic fracture? dp/dx=-12*u*Q/w^3 for Newtonian fluid, If I do not assume the pressure in the tip equal to the normal stress. Could I calculate the pressure of each element from the wellbore ? Forums Fracture Mechanics Forum research Log in to post comments2784 views
