Proppant Settling Analysis
Description
Analyze proppant settling behavior for hydraulic fracturing treatment design.
Key Considerations:
- Stokes law valid for Re_p < 0.1 (low Reynolds number)
- Hindered settling accounts for particle concentration effects
- Wall effects significant when particle diameter approaches fracture width
- Transport ratio > 2 recommended for good proppant placement
