Fracture fluid coefficient for viscosity-controlled liquids
Input(s)
\(k\): Effective Permeability (Darcy)
Ø: Effective Porosity (%)
\(\mu_{f}\): Viscosity of Fracturing Fluid in Reservoir Conditions (cP)
\(\Delta P\): Pressure difference in Fracture Face (psi)
\(c\) : Conversion Coefficient (dimensionless)
Output(s)
\(C_{v}\): Fracture Fluid Coefficient for Viscosity-Controlled Liquids (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
C_{v}=c\left(\frac{k \cdot \Delta P \cdot \emptyset}{\mu_{f}}\right)^{1 / 2}
\]
