Acid penetration distance (acidizing)
Input(s)
\(\bar{w}\): Average Fracture Width (ft)
\(L_{a D}\): Dimensionless Acid Penetration Distance (dimensionless)
\(N_{R e}\): Reynolds Number (dimensionless)
\(N_{R e^{*}}\): Reynolds Number for Fluid Loss (dimensionless)
Output(s)
\(x L\): Acid Penetration Distance \((\mathrm{ft})\)
Formula(s)
\[
x L=\frac{\bar{w} L_{a D}}{2}\left(\frac{N_{r e}}{N_{R e^{*}}}\right)
\]
