Fracture geometry (acidizing)

Input(s)

i/h: Injection Rate per unit of Fracture Height (m2/s)\left(\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\right)

μ\mu : Fluid Viscosity (kg/ms)(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s})

E: Young's Modulus (kg/ms2)\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)

L: Fracture Length (m)(\mathrm{m})

Output(s)

WwW_{w}: Fracture width at the Wellbore (m)

Formula(s)

WwL(μiEhL2)0.25\frac{W_{w}}{L} \approx\left(\frac{\mu i}{E h L^{2}}\right)^{0.25}
